If you want Vim keys everywhere…

A friend of mine I met through my own similar (free) library is developing this like a madman: https://kindavim.app

It costs $3/month (coffee) but for a Vim person like me I gladly pay. Making this work across macOS is a total mess and a full-time job, and it's not trivial work.

If you want a free version, I have https://github.com/dbalatero/VimMode.spoon as a Hammerspoon plugin that works pretty OK, but I'm not actively developing it and prefer the kindaVim app at this point.
I sure hope not. I wouldn't be very pleased if my software team was completely high and dry without stack exchange.
Interesting take, in a way it resembles direct democracy, but I don't think it qualifies since votes are meaningless in terms of what substantive power you gain from votes. Just because you have the right to speak your mind and have other people hear you does not mean you have any power over the direction of the platform or any additional agency. You can say (almost) whatever you want on the platform, but Facebook is still the arbiter of what speech is allowed on the platform and can ban you at any time, and as a user you are still nothing more than raw materials to them while they seek to monopolize your attention and energy.

The same goes outside of Facebook too for Americans, we can speak our minds but our political rights are being taken away because they inconvenience wealthy and powerful people. Without other freedoms, like freedom over your body, freedom from corporations abusing you by breaking the law and suffering no consequences, the right to vote, the Fourth Amendment, etc, freedom of speech is pretty empty on its own.

Direct democracy can have problems like you're describing, but I don't think it's the issue here. Rather it's exposing the fundamental issues of late capitalism that fails to meet human needs (healthcare, housing, belonging/emotional needs), compounded with unchecked corporate power which is increasingly resembling fascism. In fact, at this point most of the major tech companies (Google, Twitter, TikTok, Reddit) are hiring many people from intelligence services. Corporate power merging with government power, especially by corporations hiring government spies, is a huge red flag for fascism taking hold. Before questioning democracy (which is a trend I've seen lately, as if to normalize democratic backsliding), I think we should start questioning that first.

Aspect ratio also has an effect. Squarer phones have more surface area at a given screen diagonal.

A 'smaller' screen can actually be larger in area. Take the 5.7 inch note 3 mentioned earlier.

Its screen is nearly 7% larger than the 5.9 inch zenphone 9. Skinnier aspect ratios exaggerate the growth in phone screen sizes.

You didn't read the rest of the comment. I'm not talking about things like multiplayer games, I'm talking about things like being able to download the stuff you purchased (purchased, not "licensed") in perpetuity, or at least for a reasonably long period of time, rather than just when the company gets bored.

That is not an unreasonable ask, especially considering the high degree of control society grants them over these products when they are sold. That grant should come with some responsibilities.

I think this fully depends on the metric that you choose. The metrics can be very creative.

In this scenario the counterfactual is a company without data is taking the decision based on a hunch.

I think we are saying similar things. For me any decision that is rational is based on data (better or worse data, but _something_ is quantified). What and how to quantify from the real world to incentivise the right behaviour is the creative part, from my point of view.

I don't know why this is down-voted so, but to me also outside the US it seems correct? You bill for travel between stations, there'd be a lot more track & travel between stations in the US, on average, if it were as ubiquitous.

Intranational flight is a lot more common there. I imagine the economics of it are better, lower ticket price, and in many cases probably quicker too, even including airport BS.
I work in California but we have a good sized team (~100) in the former Yugoslavia. The lead person in CA is Bosnian, most of the people we work with are in Serbia, but one team is in North Macedonia.

The way the head Bosnian guy explains it to me is that it’s all about money. People want to be able to eat, buy a car, take a vacation. If they paid well, everyone gets along, there’s no politics involved.

This was really surprising for me to hear. My best friend growing up was Serbian, one of my best friends in college was Croatian. It seemed all they did was talk politics. The Serbian would claim they were being bullied by the world for pushing unity, the Croatian about atrocities.

Here, in Silicon Valley, an actual refugee from the minority group, was looking above it all. I wouldn’t believe it if I didn’t see it in the daily interactions of these different ethnic groups. It’s strange but also amazing. My colleague should figure out how to apply his work hard, get paid friendly attitude to create world peace.
"Successfully becoming a software engineer in 3 months" is a sign that one is not yet aware of all the things he doesn't know.

If, as it looks like, he's writing this two years after that experience and still does not feel a little bit of that imposters syndrome, than I would argue that he's doing something wrong. I would say part of being a software engineer is being aware that your code could always be better and that are always some areas of knowledge that deserved more research, a context that makes the word success somewhat meaningless.
We've been happy users of it for years. :-)

Well, that depends in how is the RC done. This is key to understand because if you can control it, the RC become cheaper.

You can see this way on

ie: If instead of `[Rc(1), Rc(2)]` you do `Rc([1, 2])` that work great.

I suppose the counterargument would go something like: four-year degrees are full of cruft that has no impact on your ability to do software development work. That's undoubtedly the case to some extent; my extra year of French and my philosophy electives don't help me very much day-to-day. I bet you could condense a program down to something like 2-3 years, though I can't imagine how much someone has learnt in only 3 months.
Versions of this have been going on for years now. MMOs and multiplayer-focused titles die all the time, often with no way for players to access any of the content in those games. There might be a few exceptions where an extremely devoted fanbase reverse engineers the server code and runs instances of it, but that is hardly the rule.

This is the tragedy of game development. I heard the other day that copies of Anthem are selling for a penny at GameStop. When EA abandons that game (any day now), all of the work of those programmers, artists, and everyone else will basically be lost. Hundreds of thousands of man-hours of work, gone.

There's no reason for a legit developer to know the registry format, as you're supposed to interact with it using syscalls. Most of this article takes place in a parallel universe where Microsoft forgot to provide syscalls to access the registry, and you have to open its file store directly or something.

> "..they wouldn't have the legal right to do that with any game that wasn't their own.."

Both Gabe Newell, the founder/owner of Steam/Vale, and the official support response is now to state that they would provide means for users to continue to have access to their games should Steam shut down. Suggesting they are lying demands more evidence than a random claim, especially as that lie itself would likely be unlawful and open the door to lawsuits against them from any user who claims they would not have purchased their games if they knew this statement to be untrue.

When game companies go out of business, Steam will remove their product from the store, but continue enabling users who already purchased it access to it, and I expect this independence/guarantee of of access is part of their normal licensing. There is also already 'offline mode' for Steam, and setting the expiration of this mode to e.g. 100 years would be trivial from their side.

My daughter, visiting home from college this weekend, took Amtrak from Richmond, VA yesterday. She's taking the train back Monday. Without delay, the train takes about 4 hours. Driving takes about 3 hours. Add an extra 15 minutes on each side for getting to/from the station, so 4:30 hours vs 3 hours. Distance is 150 miles (241 km).

Cost of the train is $42 (coach) each way. Cost of gasoline would be ~ $24 each way.

Her train yesterday departed about 30 minutes late and arrived an hour late. Supposedly it may have been traveling slower due to the heat wave.

Here's a live map of the Amtrak network:

https://www.amtrak.com/track-your-train.html

That's just our national train system. Many municipalities have their own patchwork of train networks. Some off the top of my head: BART, LIRR, MTA, MBTA T, Metro (D.C., Atlanta), L (Chicago), Metrorail (Miami).

Gotcha, I think that makes sense! Just to make sure I understand -- on server-side, they're pulling in all relevant information from their own database and whatever 3rd parties are needed (maybe for injury reports, etc.). The server then generates an HTML page that it sends as-is to the client, which just faithfully renders the code? Thanks for the answer!
You're so blinded by your love for Apple, that you don't realize that the results in the third quarter results prove that "the floodgates" didn't indeed open, and that nobody is switching to M1/M2 in droves. The comment I replied to, said he can't figure out why people aren't switching in droves. Guess what, regular ass people don't care. Only fanboys, developers and people with heavy workloads might care. Otherwise the slightly better performance in certain scenarios (are you familiar with how benchmarks work?) isn't enough to make people switch in droves.

This article is naive to the point of being flat-out wrong, since it makes extremely naive assumptions about how a garbage collector works. This is basically another C++-centric programmer saying that smart pointers work better than the Boehm GC -- which is completely true but also completely misleading.

I'm not saying that GC is always the best choice, but this article gets the most important argument wrong:

> 1. Updating reference counts is quite expensive.
>
> No, it isn't. It's an atomic increment, perhaps with overflow checks for small integer widths. This is about as minimal as you can get short of nothing at all.

Yes, it is. Even an atomic increment is a write to memory. That is not "about as minimal as you can get short of nothing at all".

Additionally, every modern GC does generational collection, so for the vast majority of objects, the GC literally does "nothing at all". No matter how little work it does, a RC solution has to do O(garbage) work, while a copying GC can do O(not garbage) work.

Now, that's not to say that GC is automatically better. There are trade-offs here. It depends on the workload, the amount of garbage being created, and the ratio of read to write operations.

The article says:

> I've already stated I'm not going to do benchmarks. I am aware of two orgs who've already run extensive and far-reaching experiments on this: Apple, for use in their mobile phones, and the Python project.

I can counterpoint that anecdata: Google extensively uses Java in high-performance systems, and invented a new GC-only language (Go) as a replacement for (their uses of) Python.

The right answer is to do benchmarks. Or even better yet, don't worry about this and just write your code! Outside of a vanishingly small number of specialized use cases, by the time GC vs RC becomes relevant in any meaningful way to your performance, you've already succeeded, and now you're dealing with scaling effects.
Are there any comparisons on how quickly this indexes documents compared to elasticsearch or lucene? I work with some static snapshots and we kind of need those to have a short lead time which is indexing them.
Checked caniuse which led me to resources on bugtracker. Both have closed the tickets with wontfix. Firefox is focusing on AV1, and not budging on this until the patent situation is no longer a barrier. Chrome's reasoning feels like it relies on old data (these tickets are 5-6 years old), additionally citing firefox will not support it, with further reference to similar performance in other codecs (VP9). Because of the patent, there's zero interest in it's adoption, no matter the cost of implementation

Logistics, How Did They Do It, Part II: Foraging
Moths Are the Unsung Heroes of Pollination
Wendover had a video on this topic just this week: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U9jirFqex6g

For a short summary, the basic problem is that rail infrastructure is paid for by national funds, so there is a bigger incentive to connect two places within the same country than to connect one place within the country to another place within a neighboring country.

Wendover theorizes that the decoupling of rail networks from rail service operators (as pushed by the EU-level government) can lead to new demand for international routes as budget operators spring up that are less tied to the demands of a particular national government.

In days when women are denied bodily autonomy and medical treatment for serious health risks, we're worried about guaranteeing men control over their bodies through medical treatments for . . . baldness. Comparatively, it seems vain to me.
Germany got a lot more prudish since that movie was released, though, and FKK is also in decline. The American cultural influence plays no small part.

> affects people beyond their ego & surface-level masculinity.

While I'm balding and it no longer bothers me, it used to bother me quite a bit and while maybe I should have just "gotten over it", it had a very adverse affect on my mental well being for a number of years when I was a little younger. Truthfully it still bothers me when I look in the mirror, just not as much anxiety about it. Since you are (based on your user name) not someone who is experiencing or likely to experience balding, I'd ask you to consider not being so aggressive and insensitive with your comments here.

> In fact if we did consider this, as we should, gender-affirming care, would it have the same support and defense it tends to? Many other gender-affirming techniques have and could lead to advances with wider applications, why are we so fixated on this one.

It's questionable whether this is "gender-affirming care", or whether that even matters. It's disappointing that you're grandstanding on this issue when research into one area does not preclude research into another area. Likely, since so many men are balding and do not want to, they'd be willing to pay money for this elective and optional treatment which could then go on to fund additional research in other, more important areas. If scientists and researchers can figure out how to control hair growth, this could also help women who are affected by conditions such as alopecia, burn victims, cancer patients, and many others. This can help people who are seeking gender-affirming care (MtF, FtM, etc.) who want to grow a beard (or not) or MtF who want a full head of beautiful hair so they can be who they want to be.

> I'm not sure how it is in the US, but the simple fact of coming back with a Louis Vuitton bag from a country known for counterfeiting might trigger an investigation from the customs, with confiscation + fine if you wear a counterfeit.

This is utter nonsense, unless your counterfeit bag is still in packaging and obviously brand new. And even then, no way you’re getting in trouble unless you have a luggage full of them.

Not only are the odds of having your luggage inspected by customs while flying to France nonexistent, the odds of getting trouble during a customs inspection because you have a fake bag in your luggage are also nonexistent.
One great advantage of garbage collection is that it removes need for thread synchronization in cases where is it only needed to make sure that object jou are going to call free/decref on is not in use in another thread. Corollaly to that GC is the thing that you need for many lock-free data structures to be practical and not of only theoretical interest.

It might seem that it is simply about pushing your synchronizations problems onto the GC, but the synchronization issue that GC solves internally is different and usually more coarse-grained, so in the end you have significantly smaller synchronization overhead.
I’d claim artificial intelligence has been broadened to the point of encompassing any statistical algorithm, regardless of whether it’s used correctly. I’ve seen rolling averages described as AI.

>it's like for our entire recorded history we have been ignoring 50% of our potential. Let's hope it gets a lot more mixed!

I'm so sick of shit like this. It's so intellectually offensive, I can't be polite any longer.

It's so incredibly rude to dismiss so many great women just because you didn't hear about them, as if being famous is the ultimate test of potential. As if being a famous author or famous SOMETHING is the ultimate goal in this life.

I'll use my mother as an example. She's a truly great woman. She'll never be famous to you (she has no such vain desires anyway), but she's a great human being, much greater than you'll ever be, for she rejects DEMOGRAPHIC quotas, she's honest, and compassionate, and pious, and loving, and fun, and courageous, and every day she lives up to her potential and more, and she inspires her family and friends to do the same. She does what she does and she loves doing it and she does it well.

And how willfully ignorant it is to ignore the different powers and motivations unique to men and to women.

If you think there's a problem with so few famous women, then that's a personal problem, that's a you problem. You are the problem, because you are imposing your own personal beliefs and personal standards onto women.
