A couple of suggestions (in no particular order, and from an ex-Emacs/Xcode/Jetbrains/VSCode and current nvim user):

1. Don't. There's no need to 'switch'. There are marvellously 'productive' developers using every editor under the sun, and neither the quality nor quantity of their work is strongly related to their choice of editor. There are world-class developers who do everything in a vanilla Sublime Text. Others who have a fully tricked-out emacs who dream in org mode. Some use a mouse in one hand and do keyboard shortcuts in the other. None of it matters much. Ignore antiempirical self-attestations to the contrary - they're entertaining but informationally worthless. If self-attestations were relevant, then everything (from quack medicines to cult healing methods to levitation) would be true, because everything has more utterly self-convinced dataless self-attestations than you could absorb in all a bodhisattva's recalled lifetimes. [all scare quotes intended].

2. Do. Emacs and vim/nvim are great and will serve you well if one matches your preferences. Pick one using your preferred criteria, and commit to it for a period. Your 1-2 weeks just isn't enough - I'd say 2 months at least. Put that commitment in your calendar. If it slows you down too much for practicality to start with, limit its use (to an an hour a day, or to a side project), but stick with it for the full period regardless. In the first week or two, go through enough basic tutorials to be able to do essential editing with their basic keybindings without plugins. With reasonable fluency established, just keep a note in which to jot down what's missing compared to your IDE, and pick them off, one-by-one, over time. Sort the list once a week to keep it fresh, and just pick the next item to configure/learn. Get fluent with each new item before moving on to the next.

Just stick with it. Both editors have tutorials built in. If you’re not getting anywhere with it in a month or two and enjoying the transition then stop. VSCode is just fine.
> Since 1995 we have had 3 of our members arrested (0 convicted), we have had visits by the BKA (Germany’s FBI) and BND (Germany’s NSA), we were blackmailed by the British GCHQ and harassed and intimidated by many others

See? We agree that there is an equilibrium macrostate. When I fist asked you to clarify what did you mean by macrostate you told me that “it changes with time; even at equilibrium.”

We agree that the entropy depends on the macrostate. Note that the macrostate is our description of the system and depends on how we choose to describe it which normally depends on what are the constraints, how it was prepared., etc. It’s not just a property of the position of those balls.

It’s because we agree that Gibbs’ entropy is a function of the macrostate that I asked how did you define it in your example. You told me: “Temperature as measured by a thermometer is the macrostate. Every possible configuration of particles (microstates) that causes mercury to rise to a certain degree represents a different macrostate.”

I asked “How does your configuration where the balls were near one corner in the cube cause mercury to rise to a different level than the configuration where they occupy a larger volume near the center?” and the answer “The balls have to touch thermometer” doesn’t cut it. The balls don’t touch the thermometer in either case.

You seemed to imply that the higher concentration means a different macrostate with lower entropy. Or maybe the low entropy in you example is because the balls are near a corner?

Anyway, it would indeed have been easier to say that definition of macrostate included the density of particles in each octant of the cube - or something like that.
Politics and communications have always been intertwined. Some say the US trade & state departments motivations to help promote internet standards outside the ITU and disrupt international state monopoly telephony since the 1960s was continuations of strategic policy in the standards space.

Musk is in an invidious position, owning assets which provide common carrier class services, seeking control of a communications channel (twitter) which has highly contentious regulatory issues worldwide, and wants to make high profile statements about world affairs. He might understand his FTC legal risk more than his FCC risk. The FTC has already acted on his PR statements hot microphone. (I suspect he has no FCC risk actually. I sort of think he should)

The facts of the Sackler family's behavior are well known and do not need a documentary to reveal them, a documentary merely provides more depth and context so you can form your own picture of the complete person or the nuances of their behavior. It is pretty reasonable to decide that they are "bad guys" without ever watching a documentary about them.

The flipside is also quite reasonable here. I don't need to watch a documentary in order to decide that people horribly abused in American prisons are victims, the facts are pretty clear on that. (A bad person can, also, for reference, be a victim simultaneously.)

As for whether a point-by-point refutation is the best and only remedy, that seems to require that the victim automatically have access to the resources necessary to air their refutation where viewers of the documentary will see it. Will the National Review bump an opinion column by a Republican senator in order to publish an opinion column by a Muslim detainee instead? "The remedy for speech is more speech" style defenses assume that everyone has equal access to speech and everyone's speech will be heard equally. Neither of those are true when we're talking about released films.

The world is in fact full of examples where victims are defamed in public and are not offered a real opportunity to refute it, in some cases in fact in the National Review, which published this piece. I think it's generally fine that things work that way, but you need to keep it in mind when making arguments of the sort.

>How did you become good at using these editors? Just using them doesn't really work because by myself I'd never discover most of the features and keybindings.

I used Vim (GVim to be specific) as part of my job in a semiconductor industry. Everybody in our team used it and we'd help each other. My recollection is not 100% sure, but I think nobody knew how awesome user manuals were (start with vimtutor and then go through `:h usr_toc.txt` https://vimhelp.org/usr_toc.txt.html a few times).

I've also collected a list of Vim resources here: https://learnbyexample.github.io/curated_resources/vim.html

I'm guessing the few dozens of plugins are probably messed up in a way or another after each updates.

Apparently, there's no unified QA testing among community supported ecosystem with 20 different authors.
Read the book Practical Vim. It’s not worth using Vim without it. Don’t trust Vim users who haven’t read it, unless they’re Tim Pope.

At least 75% of Vim users I’ve encountered don’t know Vim well enough to justify their using it. Most users stop at vimtutor and are left without the knowledge of the terrible nightmare of Vim knowledge you need to get close to useful editing.

Also keep in mind Vim is a text editor, not a code editor. IDEs are incredibly more powerful than Vim for code editing.
VSCode/IDEs and Vim need not be mutually exclusive. I tend to rely on vim emulation within my vscode, chrome and in other applications. Usually, all I need are the basic vim modalities with the nicer amenities provided by modern editors.
We need to learn to stop worrying and love the disinformation. Human should be skeptical of everything they read/see/hear, be it internet/TV/radio, including this post.
True, but presumably the next time you are interviewing for a job, you can ask during the interview process, and then terminate the process of they tell you they do it. Preferably after they've wasted a bunch of time and money on your interviews.
No, you cannot.
Assuming you are human; you require air, water and food to live. The terminal does not provide any of these.

If you're willing to compromise by also having a modern browser, absolutely.
That's what a donation is. Corporations usually do it for indirect "profit" - PR mostly. But that doesn't mean they have to donate forever and in unlimited quantity now, does it?

I also donated money to Ukraine, do I have to keep sending more money because of it? No, I don't, that's entirely up to me, and my operational costs are nobody's business.
This is true for power but it's not true for energy in total. A lot of energy is used at night by burning fossil fuels for heat directly in the home.

This is something you have to factor in when reading boldly optimistic claims about how somehow solar and wind can work everywhere without even storage.

Maybe if we never stop pumping natural gas into our homes to burn it, but that's not exactly in line with the goals.

In reality, for anything north enough to get snow on the regular you can't use today's electricity consumption numbers to judge future needs. When everyone switches to heat pumps base load at night is going to skyrocket.
The main effect of this is electricity prices going up. It's completely ideological, Vattenfall the company running nuclear power plants wanted to shut down the reactors because they were not economically viable.

The irony is that Sweden is ideally suited for going 100% renewable. The North has lots of hydro (which is essentially storage) and the south has lots of windy coastline. But if you go around Sweden the number of wind turbines is tiny. In the Gothenburg area I'm aware of maybe 10 (only one is really close).

Sweden (unlike Denmark or Germany) never really invested in renewables. If they would have invested in wind like those countries (and let the north south connections go to rot) they would be fully renewable already. I suspect the 40B would also pay for enough wind to achieve that goal.
So whomever is majority gets to decide what information is trustworthy? I understand it's supposed to utilize sensors and all sorts of criteria to come up with a logical & reasonable trustworthiness check. But what if one of your majority voting blocs doesn't believe in science? It's humans doing the verification, which can be corrupted.
That's actually a pretty helpful idea, and I think a number of creative solutions can be tried to determine which one of them would stick. I'm thinking it could even fund itself and finance investigative or scientific work (at some future adoption point).
How to freeze your work number (copied from reddit):

Create an account using one of your employers (old or new, it doesn't matter). If you have problems with this step, then skip to step 2 and ask the CSR for help with this.

Call the customer service at 866-222-5880 (FYI, it helps to call early in the morning when most people are asleep) Choose option 2 for "Report a problem..."

Tell the customer service rep (CSR) that you want to freeze your SSN on TWN. Verbally verify that this will keep 3rd parties from accessing the info. At this point, the CSR may try to direct you to the online form, but you need to be firm and say that you want to complete the process over the phone. If they still try to direct you to the online form, say that you will not be satisfied until the process is completed over the phone. I know this can be uncomfortable for some folks to challenge someone like this, but it's the easiest way.

At this point, the CSR will ask for personal information including your account name (created in step 1) SSN, DOB, address, email

The rep will send you a one-time code using the method of your choice (phone, text, email, mail). I chose text message. Tell them the code verbally over the phone

Congrats. Your SSN is now frozen on TWN, preventing 3rd parties from access without your authority. You will receive a confirmation email

Optional

8) If your CSR was friendly and helpful, ask to speak with their manager and give them a little praise. Pull a reverse-Karen

I prefer this method because it prevents you from having to mail or email any documents and you get instant confirmation and a case number to review your status. The whole process took like 10 minutes over the phone.
I wonder what is more terrifying, knowing that the people in her industry are cancelling her, or knowing the extremely high likelihood that islamist fanatics might permanently cancel her?
> Even after 1-2 weeks it's still not close to what it was with VScode. That's frustrating.

Emacs is a lifelong journey. Expecting to be great at it in a few weeks is very unrealistic.

To answer your question I spent a week reading a book on Emacs and forced myself to figure out any task rather than reaching for another editor. This was for the editing part.

For the IDE, my default is to use another IDE and as time permits I try to replicate features in Emacs - but I never have an obsession to completely replace an IDE.

Watching the system crafters YouTube channel will teach you about a lot of cool features and packages. Highly recommend it.

Monitoring the Emacs subreddit is a good source of inspiration as well.

Ultimately people use Emacs because they enjoy it - not because it is a superior IDE. If you're frustrated with Emacs, consider that it's not for you.
This is incorrect in its facts and framing. I’m not going to get into a long political discussion, this doesn’t seem the place for it, but I would implore you to look further into this before you start throwing words like fascism and nazi around when you’re talking about people who basically want to give everyone free healthcare.
I started by using vimium so that I'd navigate the browser with vim key-bindings, since I spend so much time in there. https://vimium.github.io/

Then after that, I just started using vim and keeping with it. To me, the biggest hurdle was switching between modes. Hitting esc was too far for me. So I found some post that helped me configure vim that bound "ii" to command mode. So to switch between insert mode and command mode was just "i" and "ii".

Nowadays, I use the escape key. It's second nature by now. But I'm still trying to make navigation with 't' and 'f' more natural. I think it's just persisting, honestly.

I use web components as a workaround for elm being anti-component. It's infuriating. It makes me write JS instead of elm and obviously that causes lots of problems. The elm testing framework makes testing web components impossible too.

Elm has tons of low hanging fruit still. Evan just chooses to ignore them and look down his nose at any use case that doesn't work in elm currently.
Or Nix :)
Why?

No, seriously, why do you think you have to switch if you are productive with VSCode?

I used to be all in with Vim and then Emacs many years ago. I can manage pretty well with both to this day. But I moved onto VSCode a few years ago and… it’s very nice. It just works out of the box. I have tried to move back to Emacs for example, but the lack of trivial and good remoting features and the lack of great LSP integration are hard to overcome.

Nowadays I still use vim for quick or repetitive edits (learn how to record and replay macros; they are a game changer), but otherwise spend all of my time in VSCode with its Vim mode enabled.

And to be fair, I only use the Vim mode in VSCode because I moved from macOS to Windows and I could not stand the Windows native shortcuts.

They are better at performing in cloudy conditions compared to older technology. In the past, it was not viable to install solar panels in cloudy areas. With the higher efficiency panels of today and the drops in price, it's now viable. This is why you're seeing commercial large scale installations in places like the UK - with no subsidies.
Hanoi is one of my favorite cities in Asia. I'd probably place it number 3 after Taipei and Seoul (followed by Penang and Da Nang/Hoi An).

You must be misreading the comment or something.

They didn't say it's the only factor, they said it's a negative. It's a negative no matter how the costs align.

I'm pretty sure I've seen urban planning software that use building codes / parametric parameters to to do this. But architecture / construction has poor history of adopting leading edge tech (constructionphysics.substack.com has great dives into history).

One thing i'm excited for is AI generating ornamentation combined with additive/subtractive manufacturing and we might finally get relatively budget revival of a bunch of more craft based aethetics. Even though we can (relatively) cheaply create detailed geometry now, it's still cost prohibitive to design said details.
The Japanese government is very trustworthy and would never ever lie. Same goes for every other government. This “ministry of truth” OSI layer sounds like a fantastic idea!
Yay! I don't think they get it yet, but this is badly needed.

They key is that the trust must always be subjective. You trust specific people and you should adjust that trust over time.

Those people trust other people, you have just a few hops to anybody on the planet thanks to small world effect.

I've spent a good time thinking about it and I believe trust evaluation function should also be up to the user, all we need is a protocol.
It isn't being censored. Private institutions like film festivals shouldn't be compelled to show it if they find that they agree more with the petition by the subjects of the film. Other institutions can show it if they like. That is just freedom of association.
> I think this would throw cold water on some feminist claims of only women get prosecuted for fraud like Elizabeth Holmes and men aren't.

I believe you're making stuff up. I went through the trouble of googling for your "only women get prosecuted for fraud" claim and if anything I found exact opposite claims.

Amusingly enough, googling for "only women get prosecuted for fraud" does return search hits on Elizabeth Holmes, but showcasing how she was the only woman prosecuted for fraud.

I feel you're either making things up just to take cheap shots at women or you misunderstood references to how Elizabeth Holmes was one of the very few women prosecuted for fraud.
I’m frankly shocked you can’t comprehend that there could be a difference between my personal experience and overall opinion and perspective of the war.

Yes it was an absolutely pointless monumental disaster with incredible suffering. No shit.
The well known “Vim mode paradox”: if you like the Vim mode provided by another editor, it means you don’t know Vim well enough to justify using Vim nor Vim mode. Vim modes don’t approach even 10% of the Vim features you need to reach the bare minimum of efficient editing.
Ok, seems the amount the companies are now liable for is actually capped at some number, which is a fair amount but still not covering a truly major incident. But the cap has gradually increased over time and is thus costing the electric companies more money.
You basically seem to be arguing that wind/solar/storage solves the problem created by wind/solar/storage.

The variability of wind and solar is actually a HUGE problem. It makes managing the grid much harder and required a large amount of idle generating capacity as backup. This is why proponents love to argue against the very fundamental concept of base load.
You also have to take into account the sexual maturity and number of offspring of the species.

Cod reach sexual maturity from 2-7 years, crab in 1 year.
But Atlantic cod apparently lay 200k-2m eggs, alaskan crab between 50k-500k.
Though I can't quite see if the cod number is lifetime or annual.

I seem to recall a huge drop in the Salmon population on the Fraser river back in the early 2000s. Seems the numbers continue to bounce around.
https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/fraser-socke...

Doesn't mean we don't need to know why. It's good that the crab season is cancelled, but I really feel for the crab fishermen. After the last few years, and with inflation, to lose a whole season must be devistating.
Perfect echo chamber greedy algorithm. I love it. I also hate it.

Everyone forgets about Hydro.

Not only can it be a great source of baseload power, but it can also be turned on and off very rapidly to provide peeking capacity.

Pairs very nicely with Wind and Solar if your country has the right terrain for it (which Sweden does, hydro provides 45% of their current capacity).
