> - I tried magit and just didn't get it. I couldn't couldn't find a happy path where I thought, "ah yes this is niice".

I mostly use plain git instead of Magit, for more or less the same reason, although I like git's UI.

I did find a happy path, though. Magit's blame interface is very nice to recursively call git-blame and navigate history of pieces of code. I ended up making a CLI program to improve git blame[1] so that I didn't end up switching to Magit just for that, but doing git-blame from Magit is still better.

It is possible to misuse any technology to lie or tell a story other than the truth. I worked in a pioneering fMRI lab back in the early 00s, and even then we were very clearly stating the limitations of the technology. It’s popular media that is uncomfortable with ambiguity that place unrealistic and magical powers of observation on fMRI.

A lot of the western idea of Russian seriousness is probably from the difference in cultural attitudes toward smiling.

Westerners look at pictures of non-smiling Russians and think they are angry or serious or sad.

There is a picture floating around with three astronauts, an American, a Russian, and an Italian: Big Smile, Soul Piercing Death Stare, Big Smile.

If you are in any way familiar with russians, you understand why, but a lot of westerners just aren't, and completely misread it.

> To summarize my impressions over the last 5 years I'd say there is no way to run a big open instance without funding. The best way for small single actor instances to survive is to be invite only or approve each member account.

I really like the way social.coop, a cooperatively run instance, handles this. Because we're all just pooling a little bit of money (1GBP/yr for most people) we can run a service cheaper than we could run it ourselves if we're renting a VPS and there are enough people interested to create a rotating moderation team, so we rarely get too much spam from other instances. So far a cooperative model has worked very well for us; no donations required, just splitting up costs in the cheapest possible way so that no one gets burned out or feels like their money is carrying the instance!

The issues is that passwords are red data and you want to minimize the number of places red data exists and can be leaked.

Consider the Twitter issue mentioned in the article. Logging inputs is a very common thing and is often important for security auditing later. But if you add it, you need to make sure you're censoring passwords. If you do that wrong, or something around it later changes, you're leaking plaintext passwords to your logs.

And that's just one angle. There's also db compromise. DB snapshot/backup compromise. There's a dozen more dangerous attack surfaces we haven't even thought of yet.

PAKE means that no matter what you do, you can't leak a plaintext password because you don't know it. That's why it's powerful.

I consider this the to be the opposite -- smart people that ask questions straight away when they don't understand something is the opposite of looking stupid, and it's the first thing I ask new hires to do.

There's a difference between not saying anything and asking "What are you referring to right now specifically?", "What does DMA mean in the context of the server?" and "Sorry, I'm very experienced with X. How hard would you say is it to do Y with it compared to doing it with Z, which I have worked with in the past?".

> Sounds like there is room for a service that aggregates all your streaming services into a single portal.

Such as Apple App Store? You can search for the media you want to watch in the TV app, it shows up with how much it is, and you click to pay and then watch. I do not understand any aspect of why someone would want to go back to dealing with their not on demand monopoly cable tv provider and cable boxes.

Even if you did want that, seems easier to just sign up for YouTube tv or sling and watch via the app than deal with a cable/satellite tv company.
I doubt it. Having children is not first and foremost a consequence of having sex, it's an active choice that you make plans for. When you have to work long hours, have no financial support for childcare, having aging parents to take care of, then there's just no room for having kids. I live in arguably one of the best countries for raising kids, with 18 months parental leave, free preschool, higher education, retirement homes for aging parents, health care, and just a child-friendly work environment overall (even dads are expected to be gone for at least a few months), and it's STILL super hard to raise a child. I can't imagine how hard it must be without all those perks, and I completely understand why many people choose not to.

Also interesting: despite all these policies the birthrate is still as low as 1.7, meaning there must be other factors why people are not having kids globally.
> it's possible to even generate HDMI

When I first approached HDMI I expected something that was aware that every display has now a framebuffer and that what goes on the wire could be much higher level than a stream of pixels. The little bit I learned about it (every doc seemed encumbered in some way) was extremely disappointing.

They do have a universal search but some of the big players like Netflix don't support it which meant that when I had an Apple TV I never really used it. The interface isn't that consistent either because app developers can pretty much do what they want so Netflix, YouTube etc. have the same UI they have other platforms for the most part which is different from Apple's. Of course Apple does the same thing and the Apple TV app on my FireTV works quite a bit differently from other apps UIwise.

EUV?
It's not magical. I forget commands all the time, then all I need to do is type `M-x` (to enter a command, like `Ctrl+P` in VSCode I think) and enter `magit ...` where I get auto-complete (if I do it often, I try to remember the keyboard shortcut, but that's optional).

Also, while in magit, you can type `?` to see the list of available commands from the location where you're pointing at... the commands are single-letters, so you normally do `?`, find the description you want, type `p` (push I think!?) or `c` (commit) or whatever... it's really easy and convenient.
I've had the opposite experience for the most part (way easier to find good people to follow than on Twitter), but maybe that's just because circles I'm interested in have largely migrated to the fediverse which may not be true of most. It also might be because I found an instance dedicated to at least one thing I'm interested in and used that one. Maybe that approach could work for you too?

> I came from VIM ... is learnable within a few days.

That was my point when I said

> if I was coming to emacs from VIM ... if you want to do emacs from scratch it’s probably easier

There is no quick start with any of these environments .. and even then it takes some detailed technical knowledge to get them up and running. They do sure look pretty! Although I found some of the default theming a little hard on the eyes for prolonged work.

> Default config is almost 'good enough'

The problem I had, was that to go beyond that it's a little trickier than what I'm used to, and there really isn't the same degree of support as what you get with more orthodox approaches. Though the community small is it is around these distributions are enthusiastic, helpful and friendly.

Like I say, the whole muscle memory thing feels quite alien at first, it soon becomes quite delightful, but not a lot more difficult to learn I think than VIM. I do like VIM, and there's many occasions where I'll use that for a quick command line based edit, and perhaps at some stage I will learn the VIM keybindings properly to the point where EVIL mode makes more sense.

I wouldn't gripe too much about the complexity of emacs, since that's where a lot of it's power lies (even if I never fully use it myself), but I wouldn't be in the habit of just copying/pasting random elisp. Usually if you've to go that much trouble it's not worth it, as somebody would have made it easier already.

IME non-integer scaling on a Mac does make text fuzzy.

Doubling the DPI of the display makes the fuzziness less noticeable of course, but someone commented on this site that the fuzziness bothers him even on a retina display, so he distinctly prefers Windows's text rendering over Mac text rendering on the same hiDPI monitor.

As noted in other comments on this page, many Windows apps are blurry when the OS is set to a scaling factor other than 1.0, but Chrome, Firefox, the new Edge browser, Emacs, VSCode and most of the apps (e.g. Settings) that ship with Windows do not have that problem.

None of the apps except VSCode that I have opened on my Linux install over the previous 3 months are fuzzy when the OS is set to a non-integer scaling factor either, though in that case I have had to learn to adapt to certain minor bugs in Chrome and Emacs.
Your mention of Return of the Obra Dinn reminded me of this article[1] which I found quite fascinating about dithering, the technique used for the game's art style. One of the neat things about these types of small indie games is that they can do unique things with (among other things) art style which bigger budget games that need a wider appeal can't afford to.

Define "totally dead"? A lot of big servers I've looked at (Fosstodon, social.coop, mastodon.social, etc.) seem very active. Also, "dead" may have to be defined differently in a federated world where it will in fact be quite common (probably even the majority of servers) to have 2 users on an instance that are active, but of course most activity is through federation so the service itself may look like it just has a few posts a day.

> I generally dislike layers on layers; while I seriously hate the git UI, I'd rather learn that

I'm surprised to hear this. Magit is a very thin layer on top of git. Not thin in the technical sense, but in UI/UX sense. Keybindings map almost one to one with git CLI. Arguments to the git CLI are explicitly stated. Executed git command is reported. I learned git better by using Magit.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extreme_ultraviolet_lithograph...
could you use magit without knowing emacs? I guess you could ... but I can imagine people getting frustrated when the windows keybindings they're used to don't bring forth the expected behaviour. CUA mode exists. Would that be enough?

Is magit good enough to actually force people to learn that little bit of Emacs?
I personally find it's very disappointing that the game is almost entirely visually indistinct from Stardew Valley. In fact even the sound effects are identical. I understand that this saves a lot of time and money, but this feels more like bonus content or an impressive mod of SDV than really having its own new identity. I'm sure a vast majority of people are in the "don't care, this is exactly what I want" category, and I wish that were me too, but unfortunately it's just not happening for me.
> Also, I'm not sure Emacs Lisp can interface directly with C libraries, so using libgit2 might not be an option.

I believe these days (i.e. since emacs 25) it can via dynamic modules. There are ffi libraries built on top of it.
Fugitive is amazing. I was once pair programming with someone, noticed a weird line in the code, used the in-line git blame, then open that whole commit, and could analyse all the changes right there in neovim.

Compared to opening up Github, or stashing and checking out via git manually, it was so much faster.

I think some of this might be cultural. For example, I think self-deprecation may be in general more widely appreciated in the UK than the US (though perhaps this is gradually changing).

I’m reminded of Arthur Dent (British) in the Hitchhiker’s Guide telling Zaphod, modestly, “oh, it was nothing” about something great he did, and Zaphod responding along the lines of “oh, it was nothing? In that case forget it then”, which was not at all what Arthur intended.

Ah, no discussion about "impossible" shots is complete without mentioning the penultimate scene of Antonioni's masterpiece "Professione: Reporter" ("The Passenger"):

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pvbqy8FZq8Y

I read somewhere that this is the film Jack Nicholson is most proud of.

> In a DVD commentary, decades later, Nicholson said Antonioni built the entire hotel so as to get this shot.

> Since the shot was continuous, it was not possible to adjust the lens aperture as the camera left the room and went into the square. Hence the footage had to be taken in the very late afternoon near dusk, in order to minimise the lighting contrast between the brightness outside and that in the room.

> The camera ran on a ceiling track in the hotel room and when it came outside the window, was meant to be picked up by a hook suspended from a giant crane nearly 30 metres high. A system of gyroscopes was fitted on the camera to steady it during the switch from this smooth indoor track to the crane outside. Meanwhile, the bars on the window had been given hinges. When the camera reached the window and the bars were no longer in the field of view, they were swung away to either side. At this time the camera's forward movement had to stop for a few seconds as the crane's hook grabbed it and took over from the track. To hide this, the lens was slowly and smoothly zoomed until the crane could pull the camera forward.[Note 1] Then the cameraman walked the camera in a circle around the square, giving the crew time to shut the window bars before the camera returned to look through the window from the outside this time. Antonioni directed the scene from a van by means of monitors and microphones, talking to assistants who communicated his instructions to the actors and operators. [0]
