Personally, I'd prefer if "ne" was the default, or similar. I love nano, I've installed it many times just so I can do quick one line edits, since I have the muscle memory for nano, but something like "ne" uses standard key bindings that users of other OS' are used to like ctrl + s which some Linux neckbeards will scoff at, but you gotta understand, there is no benefit to force emacs, vim or nano on someone, other than "it forces them to read a manual" alternatively, it might also force them to never use Linux again, which is the opposite of what we all collectively want.

What? Call it "paw" then. No one is gonna see "pa" and think it's pronounced "paw", and no one is gonna hear you say "paw" and think the invocation is "pa"

Not sure why you'd say it's a step back after giving a very valid reason for why it's a step forward.

Editing configuration files as a beginner can be frustrating on its own. The added friction of fighting with your editor when you just want to change a single line is not something I wanted to deal with.

> But porting any OS I like to Apple devices is as easy as doing that for any other open and properly documented hardware, right?

Apple's hardware is not open nor properly documented, nobody here is arguing that either of these is true. My original statement was: M1 Macs are more open than most of Apple's hardware, and Apple is not doing anything to discourage tinkering and porting - quite the opposite, they left the escape hatches open, and even made later changes[1] specifically to accommodate third-party OS's.

So again: what point are you trying to make? Non-open platform is non-open, but despite being less non-open than most other non-open platforms out there, it's somehow still worse, because...?

Which vim? I prefer neovim personally, but it is not my default editor. I want JetBrains to get off their butts and implement first-party support for Neovim. They would be able to fully ditch their awful vim emulator, and I'm honestly astounded they still have not done a neovim first party plugin yet, or anyone for that matter (last I looked anyway). It would solidify vim for me permanently, being able to pop it into an IDE, and going to a command line and having the same editing experiences (minus IDE witchcraft right).

Exploring the Intersection of Data Science and Philosophy!
Data science and philosophy may seem like unrelated fields, but they are actually closely connected in many ways. This article explores the various ways in which data science and philosophy intersect, including through the concepts of epistemology, statistical methods and models, ethical decision-making, and ontology.
Neovim is a different beast than vi or vim, definitely suggest looking into it. It's insanely capable, and if major IDE's invested time into supporting it, you wouldn't need to ever choose between Neovim or an IDE, you could just use both together. I think currently VS Code is the only editor that supports Neovim properly, there might be others though.

The neat benefit is you get all the editors own plugins + all of Neovims plugins.
It sounds amazing to me that today such a powerful machine can be had for a measly $1.5k, and also that it is considered only suitable for “smaller” projects. I remember reading about (a very expensive, no doubt) IBM System/360 that was used by NASA in 1969 (incidentally, the year UNIX was born), and also how people paid upwards of $2k (in 80s money) for an IBM PC with a 4.77 MHz 8088 chip in it.

This is interesting. I’ve been using Bitwarden for a long time now but I didn’t realize how convenient a command line password manager would be. Still though, not being integrated with iOS is a non-starter for me but I really like this idea.

It would be cool to see the other apps like Bitwarden adopt a CLI to use passwords with other command line tools. Kind of like the Apple Keychain API but easier to work with in a *nix environment.

The US can very well be home for someone born elsewhere. It would be wrong to assume that those people are somehow just temporarily staying.

Slipping assault, violent acts etc under the rug is incredibly common from my experience. Even regular cases of bullying, schools will never intervene and if they ever do, it's largely very surface level i.e. telling the bully "don't do that again" etc.

Also, the way the consequences of school intervention works is bonkers.

The bully is rewarded since they get suspended (that's a reward from their pov, not a punishment) while the victim gets punished since they get suspended (but now that's a punishment from their pov).

This is entirely normal from my experience and perfectly acceptable from the schools at least. Not sure it's acceptable by parents just yet.

I also had mandatory pascal during my high school years. Although I knew a little of C, C++ and python at that time and felt a bit obscured about learning pascal, today, I deeply admire my teacher's choice of pascal. Pascal has a nice beginner terminal IDE with a debugger and breakpoints; it has types, stack allocation and memory planning before the program is being run; recursion is possible, and it does not have many obscure features like pointers and OOP obscurities. Today, perhaps I would suggest Julia as the first language to teach, but pascal is still at the top.

Absolutely, they likely made 10's of billions. They were long assets, with huge leverage, that went up massive amounts.

I've lived at two Bruce Trail trailheads, and thankfully, most people are responsible. The problem where I am now is that these laws and rights of way were made when the population was much smaller. We get loiterers, "kids" but really people in their 20s from nearby suburbs with subwoofers in their cars parked at the trailhead and yelling. Rock faces on the trail are covered in spray paint, and not the grafitti art people are so sentimental about.

I could really see a revolt against these old rights as societies change. They were made for a different time culture where there was a recognition that what made them beautiful and desirable was our respective absence and invisibility. "Leave no trace" is a pretty refined value and it's not universal.

> to me it's dogmatic bias to build your whole theory on the letters of one person.

It's not built entirely on the letters of one person. Anyone who's studied early Christianity knows that there's a large variety of early sources, including Christian proto-orthodoxy, other Christian sects (including things that get labelled as heresies and gnostic today, though those terms are misleading), and early critics of Christianity.

This all gives us a decent understanding of how the religion developed during the first couple of centuries. Though we see a great deal of variety in early Christian thought, we don't see any of the evidence of this proposed precursor religion. The idea seems to entirely exist because people want it to, which is why it's been rejected by historians as a fringe theory.

I brought up the letters of Paul because the claim was that Paul personally created Christianity on his own as an entirely separate religion (one where Christ is a celestial and not earthly creature), and that it was completely changed (by...someone?) within a few years of his death. I'd think Paul's writings directly contradicting this theory would be rather important, not "dogmatic bias."

> myths are created all the time and always has been.

I can't think of any religion where historians believe the found preacher was invented within a few decades of it's creation. And the existence of myths in the past isn't carte blanche to ignore evidence and then make up one's own theory that's completely devoid of evidence.

Isn't that the very point of picking m4, as it's always there on a POSIX system, whereas a proper scripting language might not be? It's been a while since I saw someone pick m4 when alternatives were present.

These days it might be a bit different, as you might either be operating on a very stripped OS (container), and thus might need to provide all your tools anyways, or you might have a standard image with a more wider range of scripting opportunities (even Perl might be a good candidate here, as it's available on any system where you've got a non-restricted git installed).

> There's a reason why (competitive) sports are usually divided by male/female

This division is arbitrary. The reason for this is the premise of fair competition that identical people should compete. Yet white males dominate male swimming whereas black males dominate male sprinting. There have been physiological explanations based on center of mass things afaik. Knowing that, why don't we split the competitions accordingly? Martial arts have categories based on weight, why shouldn't we have categories based on arm-length or blood volume? It's easy to see that the whole premise of fair competition is very naïve: where do you stop? What are the criteria for determining if competitors are "identical enough"? Choosing these criteria will be a political choice. Transgender people in sports are disturbing the status quo, but they just made apparent the inherent instability of the thing.

Now i don't know about you, but when i personally do sports, for one i'm not good enough that physiological characteristics make the greatest differences: this problem mostly appears when we reach the limits, by "optimal training". Second, i'm playing as an amateur, that is for entertainment and for the art of it, which means that i will mostly play to be part of a good game, show off and see nice skill displays, and share this experience with other people, some of them with different levels of training and physical capabilities.

I just wanted to say that this thread is imho unrelated to the issues of transgender and more to the fact that competitive sports is broken and the political struggle between professional and amateur sport.

Yes, although our instinct to raise boys and girls differently is itself genetically programmed. Which is why all human societies do it, as well as all primates. So the origin of the difference is genetic, even if some of its influence is mediated through culture.

The question of how genetics causes us to mold our children according to gender norms might be at least as interesting as the question of how genetics directly influences preferences.

In the current system, lawyers by training are a per-mille part of the population; the number of trained physicists is per-mille compared to them, so we're literally talking about few-in-a-million skill sets. Even the logistics of rotations would be difficult: say we do weekly rotations between the ages of 12 and 72; with only 3000 rotations per "career" most people would have no physics rotations, and a few would have 1 week; hardly a sufficient training period!
