Vim's normal mode keybindings all correspond to a function/command of the same name.

For example, i enters insert mode, dd deletes a line, f moves forward a char, etc.

You can record a macro by pressing q followed by another key, followed by any string of keystrokes, and ended by pressing q again.

So qbxxxq would save a macro to the b register that deletes three characters. You play it back with @b.

The neat thing is that macros are recorded in plain text, so pressing "bp would print the contents of the b register (xxx).

You can even write out the keystrokes of a new macro, then yank (copy) that text into a register with y"b (for the b register), and pay it back like normal (by pressing @b).

Anyway, the trouble with this ingenious system is that x isn't just the delete key, it's the delete function. You can map another key to do the x function; but at the end of the day, there's no getting away from the original function names, and therefore no way to get away from the original keybindings.

I've tried remapping keys in vim, and I always end up with an unusable mess, because I have to remap every key or lose access to functionality, and remapping some functions isn't as easy as you might expect.

I would rather, as a user, start from the ground up and define my own normal mode bindings, with regular function names like delete-char() or whatever.

I see multiple trucks parked and idling daily in the same few blocks of a residential area of Seattle.

This is exactly my reaction to this whole comment section too honestly. "Reporting your neighbors and being a professional snitch is good" is the type of take you only see in HN. Yes, laws need to be enforced but it does not mean we need to all turn into paid petty neighborhood cops/informants .

I love dogs.

I didn’t like my sister’s dog going to the bathroom inside. She refused to do anything but positive reinforcement.

Within a couple days of my (fairly minor) negative reinforcement it stopped.

She eventually got another dog once we weren’t living together. It’s probably 8 years old and still goes to the bathroom inside - on a “puppy pad,” at least.

Sorry you got downvoted. It's a legitimate question. I think the parent comment was being ironic by pointing out a dangerous command that might be run. I think it would remove any files at the root directory.

rm -> remove/delete the given file

-r -> recursively delete files and subdirectories

-f -> remove forcefully without command prompt, specifically useful when deleting unwritable files

/ -> the root partition, basically the base of the entire system

When combined, it's dangerous because it could delete every file and directory on the root. I'm not sure, but I think you would need superuser (sudo) privileges to do so, but I'm not gonna test it:

sudo rm -rf /

Here's more on rm: https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/rm-rf-command-in-linux-with-ex...
It's very difficult to get the police to reliably identify themselves. Here in NYC they like to cover their (legally required) identifying information with little black strips of cloth[1].

But the point about 8' raises something else: there's nothing stopping the police from walking up to you and demanding that you turn off your camera. These laws also invert the burden of proof: it's now your word against a cop's that you really were more than 8' away, and not 7.5'. These are not acceptable powers to yield to a largely unchecked authority.

> When they combined their data, they found that female short-finned pilot whales stopped reproducing around the age of 36, but still lived for about 14 years more. For the first time ever, Marsh and Kasuya had discovered menopause in a non-human animal.

> Despite the breakthrough finding, which challenged our understanding of a fundamental biological process, reaction to her talk was less than positive. “The mainly male audience was quite scathing,” Marsh says. “They couldn’t believe that there would be females in a population that had stopped breeding, because the reason they were there was to breed.”

Wow. Even though this was 1981, this is evidence for an intensely blinkered viewpoint in the field. This was the heyday of r/K selection theory (coined by E.O. Wilson in 1967), and it should be completely obvious that ceteceans are classic K-strategists. Given that, why wouldn't females stick around until their youngest calves reached sexual maturity (at 12-ish), especially in a highly social species?

Taking the position that females' relevance ends with reproduction isn't just sexist, under the circumstances it actually seems like motivated reasoning.

There are other counterarguments that can be made, but most of them (like group selection favoring more overlap in lifespans within a ship-of-Theseus pod) would be somewhat ahistorical, since this happened when acceptance of group selection was at its lowest point.
> can perform infrastructure miracles.

Some of the infrastructure has lead to extra economic benefit beyond just the infrastructure stimulus. But other infrastructure might not - and i would call them economic waste (but not political waste).

Have a look at the train projects described here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ITvXlax4ZXk

The building of those rail networks is meant to achieve a political purpose, rather than an actual productivity increase. Perhaps their leadership thought it was worth the spend, but this sort of spending would unlikely work in the US imho.

I read about Alexander's Norwegian barns and their "quality without name" and how that perhaps should apply to software too. And surely it applies, but in practice is not practiced very much.

One reason this might be is that software applications are more complicated things than barns. And the kind of complexity that matters here is not really in the implementation but in the interface. To design great applications I believe you have to consider that user is just one part of the "system". It is not only software running on a computer, it is also software running in user's head and fingers and the protocols users can and will use to interact with the rest of the system.

When you design a software application you must decide how much and what will the system do and how much and what will the user do. That is a complicated decision and it is not easy to come up with the optimal choice. Possibilities are almost endless.

We don't usually consider the user as part of "software" but really they are, they are just parts in a bigger system with formal ways the user-part can and will interact with the computer-part of the system. Interaction with a barn is not trivial but quite simple compared to computer-based applications, I would think. But I agree the quality without a name is important to strive towards. It is, or would be, when everything seems to perfectly work together in different contexts and for different purposes.

Not at all, in fact the enemies basically wind up being red herrings.

They drop trivial amounts of souls which are used to buy levels, but souls are also gained by beating bosses and from using items that also grant souls.

I've experimented a lot with this. If you just fight bosses and use boss soul items and other easy to reach soul items, you will end each game roughly 5 levels below someone who is more meticulous and clears each zone of enemies without grinding them repeatedly.

At the end of the game, those 5 levels will be a trivial difference.

> Also how much of that GDP remains if you remove the top 0.1% of richest people?

those richest people don't personally contribute that much to GDP (their companies they own do). Removing them would make not much difference - their spending might be 10x or may be even 100x the average person, but there's so few of them that barely worth mentioning. It's not like they eat more food than normal people, nor wear out cars more than normal people. A few yachts and fancy cars notwithstanding, GDP is a measure of output, not wealth accumulation.

One of the things that endeared me most to my current big tech employer was the understanding that it would be weeks before I could do anything.

Yeah. I sat through the sessions and followed along. But the internal docs were sorta out of date, and basic stuff seemed to just... not work. And SREs do what they do- ask a ton of intimidating questions and make you feel on the defensive.

But I wasn't expected to get set up. Part of onboarding was slogging through the tech. The k8 madness, the permissions and salts and accesses and everything else. And although it fueled my imposter syndrome at times, I appreciated knowing everybody else went through it too. I wasn't expected to just get it.

We expect people to take a few weeks to settle in. I value that - because onboarding is intimidating as hell. A company that doesn't see that - red flag, for sure.

My complaint about unlawful parking is with people who put reflective vests on their dashboards. This is blatant corruption and we should not tolerate it.

I think we need a similar photograph law about unlawful parking and if there is a reflective vest or NYPD paraphernalia visible in the car, the fine goes up 100x regardless of whether they are NYPD / NYC employee.

It's amusing that you are using an X-Files episode as if it was factually true.
Having observed, what, maybe two or three hundred drivers of commercial diesel vehicles, and verbally surveying, what, maybe 15% of those, I've come to the firm conclusion the overwhelming majority of them leave their engines idle due to a historic quirk, whereby it was widely considered to improve longevity of the engine to reduce the number stop-start cycles. This has been pretty much obsoleted by improvements in metallurgy, machining tolerances, and lubricant improvements - thermal cycling is still important, but that's a negligible concern over a 20 to 40 minute period in temperate climates. Modern turbo diesel engine cold-starts should be considered ready to drive in a gentle manner immediately, avoid full boost till operating temperature - but full boost should rarely be needed in most driving conditions anyways.
> It also doesn’t give the customer any value, so how do you justify losing out making stuff better for the people who pay your company money?

You are going to generate more value for your customers long term by having employees who feel like their time and contributions are valued. Solving these types of problems (onboarding, knowledge management, communications, internal tooling) are literal force multipliers for companies. But they are often ignored by leadership because they don't show immediate revenue value.
My understanding of the cold-rich start was not anything to do with the catalytic converter.

Cold air is more dense and contains more oxygen. At the same time, when the engine is cold gasoline is harder to vaporize and doesn't vaporize properly, and also can condense on cold engine parts. Running rich while the engine is cold allows additional gas to offset both of those issues.

When the extra un-combusted gasoline passes through, a secondary air injection system allows the fuel to be burned up before reaching the catalytic converter and does heat it up faster, but this is a secondary benefit rather than the primary benefit.
I don't think this can be made to work. Concurrent systems are usually modeled using things like e.g. Petri nets that are not really "highly structured" by your definition. They may be more structured than a goto statement, but they aren't nearly as simple as the pure fork-join model that's often regarded as the typical case of "structured" concurrency.

Even the first diagram in OP has free interleaving of main() with quux() then foo() that's not well described by a "tree" of fork-join "tasks". (The second diagram is similarly complex in that foo() may want to transfer ownership of bar() to main(), in order to cleanly terminate and allow main() to proceed prior to waiting for bar().)
