It is indeed a lot, but since Whatsapp manages to get 10 million connections per box [1], 100k seems doable even without insane wizardry. A few years back, I wrote an article on my blog at https://wjwh.eu/posts/2018-10-29-double-hijack.html about keeping 65k connections open in a single Ruby process and that was a hackathon project written in 4 hours.

The relative emissions of China and the developed world are linked. Every time we mandate some new energy-intensive technology (eg, EVs, solar, etc), and also ban the methods of manufacture in the developed world, it's China that gladly digs up some more brown coal and makes the stuff for us.

Until we also mandate the complete CO2 lifecycle of all the products we import, this is a completely meaningless move (by the Dutch court). Saying that we are currently "switching over to renewables", while ignoring exactly how that is happening (that is, by importing everything, with the aforementioned issues), is just self-delusional.

While you're here... It would be nice to have examples of common systems with little diagrams.

Eg. "Heater output to get to desired temperature", "Motor PWM to get to specified position", etc. Perhaps each with a little diagram/animation showing the input, the output, and some example data.

Edwin from Stripe here. At first, I think I agree with the title (the article itself, not so much). Stripe isn't really a platform. It's a platform of platforms.

The three products linked to in the article, Invoicing, Payment Links, and Capital, were three of the most requested features from our users. So we built them.

And platforms use all of them to provide these services to their users. Invoicing's smart dunning enables 14% more revenue collection; Payment Links lets businesses get started with payments with no code (and no additional cost!); Capital not only gives businesses instant access to financing that flexes with income — but allows platforms to provide that fast financing to their customers. Since these products were requested by our users, we think they'll be useful for other businesses and their customers too.

The core of Stripe is very much still platform-focused. After all, Stripe's mission is to increase the GDP of the internet. It'd be a bit naive to think that that just means payments processing in today's economy. Starting and running an internet business will always be evolving (and is getting increasingly complex), and Stripe will continue to build the products that our users ask of us.

Does Neovim support webviews in extensions? Can it?

There are a lot of useful visualization tools that VS Code allows that require them. It's one of the most powerful features of the editor, imo.

In Reddit terms, imagine the Reddit administrators coming to your subreddit, deleting the moderators and then installing their own.

Administrators always had this power. Sometimes, this power was used out of necessity. But given how much this power was used in FreeNode in the past week, a lot of the community has lost faith in the administrators.

But yeah, if you control the server (the nature of being an administrator), you can do these things rather easily.

I really don’t understand why this is being downvoted. Beyond trivial algorithms, as mentioned in the parent, fast algorithms come from deep knowledge of the problem, leading to highly tailored data structures, and thus very complicated algorithms. I’m not sure why this is controversial? Also citing aesthetic sensibility is fine, but it’s also fine to update or recalibrate one’s aesthetic intuition.

> vimscript plugins are better because they work with both vim and neovim

I think you mean "vimscript plugins are better for plugin adoption because they work with both vim and neovim".

From the language-design, performance, documentation, robustness/general codebase quality, and total number of users perspectives, Lua is overwhelmingly better than vimscript.

> I cannot fathom why people would want to do that considering that there is nothing that init.vim cannot already do

Ahh, yes, the Turing-equivalence fallacy: "technology A is theoretically capable of doing everything that B does, therefore they're equivalent". Brainfuck and Python are Turing-equivalent, and yet nobody would seriously argue that they're interchangeable.

Design matters.

> I haven't finished Atlantis or Universe yet. They're on my to-watch list.

Ooh, I _really_ enjoyed SGU. Granted, it was the kind of show that I had to try watching once, give up on, then rewatch years later during to really appreciate. It's fairly different from SG1 and SGA, but in my (humble) opinion, it's really good and I'm sad that it ended so quickly. It reminds me a bit of Lost In Space (the movie, not the relatively new tv series- I've only seen half the pilot so I can't make a comparison) but in the Stargate universe.

What you do is build your gameplay with the absolute minimum of graphics. For example if you want to build a platformer, start with a red square for your player character, blue squares for enemies, brown boxes for terrain. Do the physics first and add your unique gameplay ideas, but with the absolute minimum of artwork. No sound or music (unless your gameplay ideas require them). Once you have something fun to play with in this state, then you can add art.

"Here's the hash of the file you're infringing." I mean, where did they get that from? It's a rather specific thing for a very specific file from a very specific source. How can that possibly be a mistake? At best it's a result of some automation that indiscriminately makes these claims, which doesn't fall under "cock up" in my book.

I stated facts.

1) Supply tends to meet demand at the cost of the marginal supplier. 2) If the West is not willing to, the rest of the folks will be happy to do so.

Btw more than 50% of the global liquids demand is for diesel, jet fuel and bunker fuel for ships. At the time of writing we do not have any viable alternatives for these, and we do not expect to have them ready and scaled up in the next 8 years.
The market is really harsh so I'm not sure you can actually make an MVP without making a polished, finished game.

You can noodle on mechanics, art direction, story, etc with a small team before you go into production but you probably won't have an actual viable product coming out of that stage.
As well they should be considering the isolation, usually severe conditions, back-breaking work, and all the potential danger.

If we want to take aging seriously, we need to first appreciate the problem. It reminds me how people used to think there was "the cure" for cancer.

I'm most excited for the treesitter integration and its potential to amplify Vim's "killer feature": text editing as a language.

Vim's editing language feels most powerful when I'm using its text objects: "ciw" means "change in word", "cis" means "change in sentence", and so on. But Vim's built-in text objects are not always a perfect match for the code you're editing. Suppose you want to change the first argument of a function, for example; there's no built-in "first-argument" text object. But Treesitter integration makes it easy to create text objects that understand the AST. Without much effort, users will be able to make mappings like `cia1` to "change in argument 1", and these mappings will work across all languages with Treesitter support.
My experience with E-Prime began with a challenge predicated on the idea that the copula stands in for far too many verbs, and that by limiting the use of one verb, the heterogeneity of the remainder increases. Viewed in that context, I think E-Prime provides some benefit.

It does sometimes lead to belabored wording, and demands more careful consideration during composition. However, when regarded as a tool for encourage more thoughtful word choice, and in contrast to the explicitly stated goals of "Newspeak", the use of E-Prime increases the 'area of choice' and broadens the spectrum of vocabulary used in practice, if not in theory.
Yes, but that doesn't sound like a MVP. A MVP (in this case) should be playeable. No one will play a platformer with a red square.
I don’t understand how profit and r&d are pots for tax losses? Could you clarify what exactly you mean?

A great example is Apple/other electronic products in the EU. They’re just straight up 30% more expensive, which is approximately the extra taxes they incur in EU vs USA.

This includes higher VAT, taxes, and even labor/payroll.

It's not only my crusade. It's also increasingly companies stakeholders. There are trillions dollar investor groups pushing for addressing risks and opportunities of climate emergency. Court cases give a lot of leverage to people inside these groups to apply pressure on companies like Shell.

Investor Group on Climate Change (IGCC) manages over $2 trillions

The Institutional Investors Group on Climate Change (IIGCC) with over €23 trillion in assets under management

Go against states like Netherlands, states unions like European Union, and institutional investors managing tens of trillions worth of assets at your own peril.

And the pressure will only keep increasing as the old generations die and the new take power.

For me, vim is appealing because of the composable keyboard commands that let you navigate through text in a very powerful way. When you get good with it, it's way quicker than using a mouse. It also makes you feel cool, which is most important of all.
I think you didn't quite understand what you were seeing in that video. That's a person showing off a quick plugin/function they made for vim that when called can switch things defined from one state to the opposite state. The top half of their screen is the source to what they wrote (I think, on mobile).

They are showing how it works, so as an example highlight/select manually a bit of text then manually run it to show it swapping the value. There's a few things to consider here:

- They are typing it out because the are demoing it and that's the name it's defined as in the code. Normally someone adding it would also add a key combo activation for it if they planned on using it often in that manner, and make it work on the word element under the cursor.

- Even if a key combo wasn't added, they could also use this while selecting a larger chunk of text to switch all occurrences of one thing the the opposite.

- The real usefulness for this is more likely in the case of some well formatted JSON, where you could start a macros, search for the next top level object, they search for a specific key in that object you know is the next occurr nice of a search term, then go to nth item, then run switch (maybe even typing it out). Then stop the macro. You can then rerun that macro with 1 (or at most a few) key presses the number of times you want, to perform those complex actions a defined number of times.

As needed, vim is like an extensible interactive sed command. That doesn't mean I never use vim, but being able to do something similar to the text manipulations I do with sed while withing the file to confirm it worked right and undo if needed is sometimes useful.

Could the JSON example above have been done with a dedicated tool? Sure. But it gets more complex for dedicated tools if the JSON is embedded in something else, and the important idea is not JSON editing, but that vim gives you a toolset that works just as well for XML or source or plain text, as the primitives it works with generally map well to how we use text.
My current monthly cable subscription is $135 (plus "fees"). And when people say, "cable", they generally mean TV service. For many, that may mean a pricey satellite TV service (very expensive back in the day). Basic cable is likely what you are getting, but many people want to watch sports or movies, which requires premium subscriptions and it adds up quickly.

We've already seen where this goes with Star Wars: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harmy's_Despecialized_Edition
The USSR suffered a bloody revolution at the turn of the 20th Century which upended its social order. Then tens of millions of its people dies in WW2 and the country was devastated, tens of millions more died of famine or were killed, imprisoned, and/or enslaved by a totalitarian regime which terrorized its people. Much of its intelligencia (the creative lifeblood of any society) were themselves oppressed or exiled.

None of this had anything to do with the United States, but it did contribute greatly to just how broken the USSR was by the time it collapsed. The collapse wasn't only about this, but it certainly wasn't simply a defeat by the US either.
This doesn’t seem fair. Sure, Shell is the largest emitter, but what about other emitters? We need a carbon tax that would distribute the responsibility evenly.
It depends. You are right that if you can work from home, you definitely should, if infected. But we cannot expect people to be quarantined because of a cold, you might have to buy groceries for example. Or travel to a doctor. Or if you have to come to work. In those cases, wear a mask!
I agree that it is tangential. Perhaps one of the safer topics to discuss in this whole debacle.
>... and it was a big deal.

It's my understanding that Xfinity sends a few warning notices, just a little slap on the wrist, before they end up terminating your account or something (though a quick cursory Google brings up a Reddit thread where someone claiming to have worked for Cumcrust said they never saw any accounts terminated for that). I know I received one letter like 7 years ago for downloading 'Christmas Vacation' and nothing else ever happened. Speaking from experience, if you use a VPN to torrent then they'll leave you alone.

I'd be curious how much - and what - your neighbor was doing to have made it a big deal, and what Xfinity's response/reaction was.
So much this. Yesterday I did a walk through the ~44 channels I frequent on FreeNode and came up with about 20ish that where moving to either OFTC or Libera. I left those channels, keeping ~24 channels that were not likely to move off of FreeNode.

Fast-forward today. All those channels are moving now, none left! Yesterday this could be considered a 55/45% split and had new FreeNode staff taken a win-trust-dont-rock-boat approach, I'm sure the network would've been fine.

Yesterday I was staying on FreeNode, because I don't really know the thinking behind all parties involved and could see the possible reasoning on both sides. Today I'm disconnected from FreeNode and on OFTC + Libera.
So now Shell will presumably move their headquarters out of the Netherlands. Their global emissions will then no longer count as Dutch and as a result they'll comply with the judgement for reducing Dutch emissions.
Being the best VR game isn't a very high bar. From what I read from people who play a lot of VR games, the amount of polish was the only thing to make it stand out, and without the Half-Life name, it would just be a slow hallway shooter that didn't do anything innovative like the previous Half-Life games did.

The advantage is that vi is a language.

You can speak that language in Vscode... kiiiiind of, just like you can speak evil to emacs. But these are dialects, vim is the real deal.

Neovim with a ton of plugins offers a lot of what an IDE brings to the table, and lets your fingers speak fluent vim at the same time.

So when you're randomly shelled in to some stock install that's got vi (realistically this is mostly vim but it doesn't have to be) you can keep speaking your native language for whatever text editing you might happen to do.
