Insert mode is a great text writing app on its own, but normal mode is the best text editor I have encountered.

Being able to move to a specific part of a file quickly, edit a specific part of a file quickly, repeat that edit on a different part of the file (with .), write out an editing action as pain text and save that as a macro... The list goes on.

The only thing I don't like about vim (normal mode) is that the keybinds and context are hardcoded. Sure, you can remap them, but that only gets you so far.
Here's an example[1], from his blog post, about the interaction one of these women defined as "creepy".

If this is the bar for unacceptable discourse between men and women, without being a mind-reader, I'm not really sure how one is ever supposed to win.

>there would be no surplus every month to save.

IF someone is so on the edge that they have zero extras, then they should not get a mortgage, because they're one hiccup away from losing it all.

This is why I put in the phrase "without killing themselves."

And, if you want to save that 6K mortgage downpayment, downsize life by a little - it really is not much to do. If you're so poor you cannot do this, there are federal programs to assist.

Again, this is a non-issue for pretty much every person that is also capable of paying a mortgage.

If you buy food and eat it, you have personally used it, perhaps enjoyed it, and consumed it. All the effort, materials etc. that went into making the food and getting it to you - have been 'used up', by you.

Now, insofar as the goal of the economy is people's enjoyment of stuff, it served its goal, which is great. But don't think that by consuming the food you did everyone else (the economy) any good - you didn't. You personally benefitted, which is great, and used up the resources - people's time and effort as well as materials that went into it.

A better illustration would be you commissioning a yacht for yourself, using it recklessly and sinking it (with its value going to 0 - i.e. you consuming all of the value). How did the economy benefit? Engineers that could have worked on better problems, e.g. automating labour, instead spent their time on your yacht. So did workers. So did all the people to procure the materials. And now all of that is at the bottom of the ocean, benefitting nobody. But you had your fun while consuming this product.

GDP is a lousy measure of a success of an economy. The point of an economy is to serve the needs of the people - sometimes it seems that some people believe it is the other way round, and people exist to 'grow the GDP'. If people are happy with consuming less, they can work less - what's so bad about that? Or they can invest instead of consuming - that is, work hard now so that they can work less in the future (or have more/better stuff). It is the investment, production and innovation that grows the economy in a meaningful sense (or getting access to cheaper labour, which does not seem very ethical).

Encouraging consumption under the guise of benefitting the economy is absurd.
I can recognize no problem in this. To me this seems a particularly rational way to die once you feel it's time to. Dying the traditionally western way - suddenly, following disability and sickness, seems way more scary.

I mean, the site hasn't been unchanged over that history. I've left many subreddits as they became memed-out messes.

Overall, I find that there are plenty of subreddits with focused discussion and decent moderation.

I'd be interested in what you refer to as the entirety of the site going "downhill". You haven't really given me much to reply to in this comment.
The Microsoft Store version is managed by the PSF and is a legitimate method of getting it. It went to that because you didn't choose the option to add python to the PATH, so the console didn't have a python executable to run.
Yeah, honestly go to any conference in the last decade and you'll see some people who are just... out of place in an academic, like, when they were 19 they listened to a podcast that claimed PhDs made XX% more money, so they decided to do that. These people don't care about research, don't care to understand research, they just want to publish, get their degree, and get paychecks from Google/Facebook/Apple. Luckily I've seen a number of these types of people fail to find any high profile jobs after they graduate, so I guess something is still working.
I don't see your line of thinking:
- Yeah you um can, like build your own movie theatre and show your own movies. The point of the law in this case is to prevent vertically integrated corporate structures from forming.

- I don't see the sets of costs argument - any price is made up of infinite sub-costs. You buy a carton of milk, it came from a distributor who bought it from a wholesaler, who got it from a carton plant and so on and so forth. At each step of the way someone verified the quality to ensure reputation. In a vertical corp quality control can be difficult.

- The opposite - easier to launch new companies. This is already how it is in places like Europe. No problem to sign 'distribution' deals, and no problem in seeking 'distributors' if you have the content. What's more a ton of other types of incentives make it easier to start new efforts.

I don't think you understand that mostly, this is how it all already works, by itself. That's the whole point of a 'free market'. Until Amazon rolls into town and starts buying everybody up and integrating it all into something else.
Well you now have 44 people looking over your shoulder, giving you advice based on half-baked opinions formed on partial information, and freaking out whenever you do something that slightly surprizes them. congrats.

Not being viable as your daily driver does not make it crappy.

But you heard it here first guys, building CPUs is a chumps game. And you see no reason to celebrate the first genuinely viable, power-efficient and fast non x86 CPU being a mass success. Fine I guess, but I don't agree.

Also not sure why you wave away CPU bound workloads as though they don't exist or somehow lesser.
I think we're talking about slightly different things. I'm using REST as an interface to a storage (of blobs/objects/whatever), just like you would SQL SELECT, UPDATE, INSERT, DELETE. I then add more things that listens to changes to that storage, so the data is sortof the API.

You're talking about putting the API layer upfront so you'd have a REBASE verb in the same layer that we have GET/POST or SELECT/INSERT etc.

Your example of git easily abstracts on my view since it already does those basic operations, but not on yours since you'd need a separate REBASE verb and so on as a part of the protocol.

I think we just have different expectations of the protocol.
It’s just a general breakdown of the rule of law and trust all over our society. When everyone around you is breaking the rules and receiving no repercussions, then following the rules yourself is equivalent to choosing to lose.

We used to have strong institutions that were supposed to help push groups into not choosing the bad corner of the prisoners dilemma, but they all seemed to have degraded. I suppose they could have always been like this and the curtain has just been removed, but I’d argue that the perception that following the rules was the best personal choice is almost as valuable as it being true
EU suspects Facebook of abusing power with Marketplace, report says
Adults are, generally, prejudiced, biased and unfair. Most people will have no problem with favouring their friends, but vehemently accuse others of favouritism, nepotism, etc. By nature, we are suspicious of strangers, and rightly so, but it's also holding us back in everything.

It takes active role models, introspection and life-long seeking of enlightened approaches, to break the mold. Few do, but when one do, many can follow.

That incubator held bacterial plates for cloning. The ants would walk across the plates and sometimes leave a trail of bacterial colonies showing the path they took. Cleaning the area and turning the incubator up to 45-50 Celsius for a day or so ended the infestation.

Yeah no. IRC was often jokingly referred to as “I Repeat Class” because it was an unproductive distraction from study.
Not really. I have an EE degree and know all about PE. My point is people commonly call themselves a professional _xyz_ for many other professions. Why should engineering be any different? Just because some organization wants you to? It is fine if you are required to have a cert to say sell things to the general public, or to have plans approved for buildings etc. but no so to try and control who gets to be called a "professional" or to regulate speech in general.
Those aren't reasons to act dishonestly and abuse other people. In fact, those are reasons to do the opposite - if you find the world so terrible, do something to make it better.

Somehow cruelty and hysteria have become socially acceptable. It is pure narcissism to make a spectacle, even in the case of someone with a real grievance.

I'm writing this comment via throwaway because people need to understand others have given this a lot of thought and if you get cancelled, there are good people who won't put up with that bullshit. There is more than hope.

A criminal defense attorney told me that more often than is comfortable to accept, accusers have a pattern of self-destructive relationships and the person they pick to accuse is just the most successful one in a line of many. The details are convincing because they really are true, but from other occurrences in their lives. The legal question is not whether or not the accuser is a victim of some kind, but whether the accused is responsible. In politics false accusations come with the territory and now a social media presence is politics.

All this talk of believing victims is the worst idea of all because a person who makes a spectacle is the one who is the least likely to be telling the truth during their performance. The simple truth is that men and women often lie. Prosecutors lie, police lie, witnesses lie, reporters lie, managers lie, employees lie, lawyers lie, mothers lie, fathers lie, kids lie, custodians lie, and yet somehow it is acceptable to destroy someone's life on the word of someone (and their friends) who makes a public display of being a victim?

Some victims are telling the truth, but everyone who makes a public display should be treated with extreme skepticism, and the louder they get, the less anyone should listen.
Who will be doing this spying?

It certainly wouldn't be opentelemetry itself as that's just a interface you add adapters to.

Are you thinking a man in the middle would spy? How would that work? This information is pushed over secure connections on the backend likely in a VPN. On the front end, it'd be transmitted over HTTPS. Shouldn't we be more fearful of information collected from DNS than encrypted data sent over HTTPS?

Or are you thinking the metrics aggregators are going to do the spying? How would that impact their business model? Do you think a company would continue to pay the likes of new relic if they were caught giving access to metrics data to outside groups? Do you worry about postgres or prometheus sharing your data with 3rd parties? What about SQL server?

What is the risk model and how would it be different from say the risk model of making an REST call or using a 3rd party library?

Or is it just that "because this is well integrated throughout, it could be used to spy"? Because, generally speaking, these traces don't have enough information to identify what individual users are doing to the system. Even if they did, that wouldn't be a great way to track a user, you'd simply put that tracking information right at the front end of the system. Plumbing it from one end of the system to the other gives little value for a spy. It's adding a bunch of noise to the question you'd want to ask "what are the user's behaviors with our product?"

And even if the demand is there, why would you do this through tracing an not a purpose built spy tool. Wouldn't it be easier for a nefarious lib writer to make a plugin purpose built to collect evil data? If that sells, why wouldn't a tech company buy that instead of buying a solution which combs 3 layers of separation to get worse answer? Why wouldn't google analytics still exist?
I do too! One of the great things though is they're very re-readable!

Most of the benefits of licensed professions come from the ability to revoke licenses, not from the ability to grant them. There are some professions where you genuinely need them but the vast majority of professions only need to get rid of the bad apples to set an example, the rest will follow the law on their own.

>SSL/TLS is broken and you need help over IRC? No problem. Your main PC broke and all you have is a 486/Amiga/Atari or even some PDA connected to the router with a gateway? No issues again.

>You just have a installed base, your pkg manager is broken and all you have is netcat, a shell and Unix utilities? Go on.

I understood what you meant. But when would any of those scenarios occur and you don't have your phone, and thus access to Matrix/Discord/whatever?

IRC has awful UX on a phone, and I say this as a guy with a sophisticated weechat+Pushbullet setup going on. The benefits of being able to get on IRC from your NetBSD toaster aren't really benefits at all because you always have a phone. Users want slack/discord-like presence. They want push notifications on hilights. They don't want to have to futz about with znc or tmux+irssi.

IRC failed to keep up with the tastes of modern users and that's why it's been slowly hemorrhaging users for 15 years.

Seconded. vim-angry is an excellent plugin that exposes args as text objects.

In an expression such as (foo, ba|r, baz), where | is the cursor, it does the following:

via - (foo, |bar|, baz)

vaa - (foo|, bar|, baz)

vaA - (foo, |bar, |baz)
Remember what happened to ProJared?
Indeed.

SG-1 was my therapy during my worst years. I don't think I'd have gone through that period as well as I did, if it weren't for the mix of laughter and seriousness every episode of this show offered.

And what I love about it, SG-1 pulls it off. It's a serious show that's also very genre-savvy and full of quality gags. I haven't seen any other media product, sci-fi or otherwise, that managed to get this mix of opposites to work.

(It's all nicely balanced, except that one time in Season 7 where you thought you're watching a joke episode, until the sudden change of tone punches you in the head, and you're left emotionally spinning and wondering what the hell did just happen. The two-parter I'm referring to, "Heroes", is a masterpiece. This kind of thing works only once - and fortunately, the producers were smart enough to not try it again.)

This is a good summary. To add a bit: since most suburban development doesn't generate enough in tax income to pay for its own maintenance, most places that have a steady trickle of suburban development end up in a cycle of decline as the older stuff starts to run down and the city has to use the development fees etc. from new developments to pay for maintenance on old ones, and eventually even that isn't enough, and everything starts to decline.

This can turn into a much worse vicious cycle when added to other issues like pension obligations, declining schools, natural disasters, etc.

You see the most of this today in inner suburban areas across the midwest, where they boomed all at one time, then ran out of land (as the wave of new suburban development moved into the next suburb's jurisdiction). Because the suburban pattern is very hard to redevelop, if an established community loses its appeal for any reason (houses have gone out of style, taxes are cheaper further out, whatever), then they tend to get into financial trouble as the maintenance obligations pile up and there's just not enough tax base to support it.
As long as we're piling on about search, here are my two least favorite site searches:

* meetup
* AWS docs

Going straight to google for both of these nets better results 99% of the time.

It's probably a cycle at this point. More people use google (or other general search), so these sites optimize for them, rather than invest in the site search experience. General search engines are where the users are coming from.
Well, presumably angel investors are accredited. If they don't have at least a million in net worth, what does that say about their track record? And if that's what it says about their track record... what does that say about your company? ;^)
Cities actually have more going for them than you might think. The population tends to be younger and therefore more "compliant" regarding public health. That means more mask-wearing indoors, distancing whether in or out, and more self-isolating when symptomatic. Delivery of food and groceries is better established. Easier access to testing facilities. Good internet speeds means less inclination to go and see friends in person.
In the show, they have tight beams for communication. In the Expanse universe, seems like that's how they'd run their updates.

> Had me for a while, then unfortunately lost me at the quote of Scott Adams.

It's interesting to me you didn't just say "quoting Scott Adams is a mistake," instead you "were with them until they quoted Adams," implying a single quote you disagree with invalidates all their points.

Are you saying you believe they deserved it because those were consequences for being the person they are, ie. someone who quotes Adams? If that's not the case, why did you phrase it like that? At best, it sounds like because of the "affiliation" you suddenly don't care for something you were inclined to care, regardless of whether they have other points or not.

This seems similar to the dynamics that made it happen in the first place, people who didn't care about specifics or nuance speaking out with the most dismissive light on the situation, furthering the idea that they deserve the consequences because they are inherently bad people.

I'm not saying those were your intentions, but sometimes wording matters, and the multiplying effect of social media doesn't care about intentions.
