You don't have to learn vim to craft a git message, most people where I work only know how to exit and they are perfectly fine using vim here or there as prompted.

If someone were to learn to use CLI to begin with, I don't mind sprinkling them with some vi. It's UX for those who are already doing CLI, not some people lingering on GUI.

Though it's not surprising that someone who believe vim has no benefit whatsoever over other editors have this take, quoth another comment that I replied to in this thread:

> I think the idea that Vim is "technically superior" should be challenged as well. I've watched, and participated in, dozens of discussions on text editors, and have never been shown a concrete piece of scientific evidence demonstrating Vim's claimed superiority according to any real-world metric.

> I was extremely resistant to learn new things when I thought my current way of working was perfectly fine.

It’s not the OS’ job to lecture users about their tools of choice. The Web is full of “vim is the dog’s bollocks” articles, if anyone has a modicum of interest to look at more complex tools.

Now, we have to just set EDITOR in the dotfiles for each new student we get starting their MSc project.

While this is true, at least in the early pandemic when social circles were pretty tight (often just your household, but even if not quite a bit smaller than during normal times), the virus has to be introduced to that social circle, it won't just manifest itself out of nothing in one of it's members. Masking when not interacting with that circle will help keep the virus out of that circle of people in the first place.

This is a very hard thing to maintain for long periods of time, but in the context of 2020 it's a reasonable approach to take.
Witches were and are real. I know some personally. You may be refering to their alleged supernatural abilities, which are no more real or unreal than the prayers and rituals of any other religion. Some of the greatest scientists of all time were also alchemists and spiritualists, borderline witchcraft imho.
Using the "near me" mapping feature I noticed that my area has a massive problem with pirate LFLs! It shows three in my small city, when I'd guess there are at least 4-5x that number. Will not report for now. Would like to see some LFMs for us museum-goers.

I have found some very interesting niche books in these things. Books which, had they been donated to a public library, the Friends of the Library would have sold off immediately, I'd guess. (They do a good job of keeping the library materials fresh)

Even books like "The Esoteric Compilation of Ryan McPhee" which is fictional for example purposes here, but you pick it up and find out about the McPheebians from the back cover, and then look them up online and discover that they offer a free online diploma in World Peace, and you give them a call and the former chapter leader ends up teaching you chainsaw carving next week.

I remember the day that my 3 year old son took his Elsa doll to Kindergarten. I don't know what they said to him, but after that day he declared his favorite color is now black and he no longer wanted the doll.

I'm sure there are some genetic sex differences, but looking at the huge difference in how society treats kids from the youngest age on, I'm going to say it's very hard to differentiate between genetic vs. society.

It is quite generic. Anyone who ever did something outside of the clearly defined scope of their role can be feel as a wildcard to some extend.

But I'd say there is some difference between „I'm a software dev but I also do a bit of server admin and occasionally customer support“ or „I'm a software dev, but I also do server admin and occasionally customer support, email campaigns, blog posts, modelling and sales“.

No. I'm saying that some men live in social groups that think these are women's activities. I'm saying that they're not, so if you're a man and you want to sew, have at it. And of course that means that sewing won't make you understand women. A lot of women can't sew.
It's also hard to articulate power if the people have no need for that power. People stay with nano because it's intuitive and good enough at editing some config files. What else would someone learning Linux even do with a text editor?

I've tried to get into vi and emacs but I honestly never found a good use case for them, even as a developer. When I edit files, the changes are usually very small and I spent most time thinking about what to change. The time it takes to execute that change is negligible. If I need to process large files, those are usually in some kind format that can be manipulated with other tools much more easily. And when it comes to programming, modern IDEs are far superior.

I don't doubt that you can be very productive with these editors but the "it's more powerful" argument always seems to mean "look how I fast I can manipulate large unstructured text files with some keyboard shortcuts magic", which is irrelevant to me.

What ruszki wrote was "where I come from, this notion is basically non-existent". It's ambiguous whether "this notion" refers to sex, gender, or the distinction between the two, but since both sex and gender are human universals, you should have inferred that "this notion" referred to the distinction.
The original PyGame used software rendering and thus was very slow, but I believe a relatively recently released new version uses hardware (GPU) rendering. That's probably where the shader support comes in too.

If you have ever witnessed a child learn to speak, I don't know how you could maintain such a thing. The rate of change is incredible.

Even aside from that, which might be argued to be a biological oddity and explained by early development factors, take any active 8 year old and, yes, if you take any one domain, you might say that the rate of learning is in the same ballpark as an adult, but if you account for all domains within with that child is actively engaged, the total volume is again incredible and likely only comparable to the rate of learning of a gifted adult.
It’s been customary law in Sweden since pretty much forever. But interestingly it had no explicit foundation in written law until 1994, when a short passage was added to the Swedish constitution: “Everyone shall have access to nature in accordance with ‘allemansrätten’” (“Alla ska ha tillgång till naturen enligt allemansrätten”).
For the vast majority of the population that isn't actually concerned with that and is happy to conflate the two, doing so will produce a useful enough result given the two are synonymous enough of the time that the person isn't at risk of drawing a conclusion that maybe doesn't hold true because they forgot to consider the edge cases.
https://cppcast.com/cpp-builder/ - this is the podcast where embarcadero devs tell about how they maintain number of patches to llvm's compiler to make it compatible with necessary non-standard features like closures.

this also tells us that c++ became so big and complicated that one company (embarcadero size company) is not able anymore to support own compiler, they need to maintain own patches.
>> Most or all first world countries have some form of social net that attempts to ensure people don't go hungry.

As does the US which has several programs for both healthcare and food for the poor. That is not a counter to my statement, where by the government completely takes over the industry and provides the service.

There is a Huge difference between a social net, and government provided.

>>I don't think anyone implied that it's barbaric to charge for healthcare.

That is exactly what was implied

> What's barbaric is people being denied preventative care because they're unemployed or don't have hundreds of dollars to go to the doctor.

Again this does not happen in the US

>> Unsurprisingly, the supposed "free market" healthcare system isn't very efficient in practice.

the US does not have a free market, I can not believe anyone can even claim we do with a strait face. healthcare is the most heavily regulated market there is, regulation is the antithesis of a free market. Any one attempting to make things cheaper, provide care in a way that would lower costs is quickly regulated out of the market.

Government and government alone is the cause of the huge costs in health care. To proclaim government can solve the problem they created is laughable

Companies aren't people. Companies whilst run by people are not acting in the best interest of people as a whole only a small subset of people(stakeholders). Just like criminal gangs and how they lead to some small subsets of people requiring policing(criminals), the same applies to companies(some companies and how they act towards the societies they operate in if regulations were better made and policed adequately would certainly be classed as criminals).
I just took a look and the docs only say there’s “vim like modal editing”. Given there’s no more info I guess it’s just vim mode? There doesn’t seem to be an effort to redesign it at least.

So.... what does your reply have to do with what GP has said? He simply stated he doesn't want to risk his health in order to better understand how "women think" by taking potentially life-altering drugd. I'd wager to better understand women you should actually spend time with them and talk to them, not engage in random activities that you yourself said aren't indicative of a certain sex

not only libc. what is very cool is that most of the parts of very rich fpc library has no libc dependency.

so necessary parts get linked statically to the resulting binaries, and those binaries do not require libc. most of the library goes with roots to kernel calls, bypassing libc.

once you start using threads or link to other c libraries (like gtk) then libc becomes a dependency.

>> Medical has no comparison in the US. The system is not good ,

First off you have confused medical insurance system with medical care.

healthcare in the US is the best. How we pay for that healthcare, namely employer led "comprehensive" insurance plan is TERRIBLE

So lets solve for that, and the solution to that is NOT government taking over the entire thing

>>I can walk into food stores, easily compare prices , and find substitutes.

I would absolutely love is the healthcare industry moved away from the employer led "comprehensive" insurance plans to a more free market solution
My intro class was taught in lisp (and had been for the previous decade or more), but I learned that about 2 years after I graduated that they also began offering it in Python.

Several of my class thought that was a very "useless" way to kick off the degree, but I really liked the immediate introduction to recursion (blew my mind when it clicked) and felt it leveled the playing field quite a bit for everyone entering the course.

> Trans people want to use the bathrooms and compete on athletics teams corresponding to their identity.

I know I'm not the first person ever one to bring this up, but it's unclear to me how letting someone with (largely) the physique of a man compete against women is acceptable.

There's a reason why (competitive) sports are usually divided by male/female, and that reason still overall holds for someone who is trans. There's a lot of gray area here depending on if and when they undertook HRT, sure, but labelling this as "intolerance" is not right in my book.

> 17 years ago, there was a popular essay about this sort of person, and the label at the time was "Free Electron": https://randsinrepose.com/archives/free-electron/

This kind of essay is good for the author, because writing an essay about "what if there were special people who were awesome and really cool?" attracts readers who think it's about them. Doubt it has much other merit though.

Yes! The problem with being a „can-do everything problem solver“ is that I get overloaded with tasks from all over the organization whenever has a question or wants to get something working quickly.

While helping everyone with whatever comes up seems nice, it's not the most valuable way to spend my time. At first, I was annoyed by the „everything goes through the product manager“ - mantra, but now I agree that having someone to filter and prioritize incoming tasks is crucial.
> The issue which people react so allergic to is the complete lack of tolerance by the transgender community.

Who says so? What has been your personal experience with "the transgender community"? If you're seeing it through the polarized lens of online (specifically big platforms) interaction, then for sure you are seeing it as intolerant. But the same could be said about almost every pov online: most of what we get to see widely is vocal, shallow, unsubstantiated takes. Because that's what get viral.

So for one, there is no such thing as a "transgender community". There are most surely publicized simplified canons of what a transgender person is like, just like there is for "the average white dude", "the academic leftist", "the trump fan" or "the new age craftsy person". The thing is, there are very few person actually like that and the one that are, are usually like that because of tremendous influence of online platforms on their views.

All in all, with all respect, i think you are fighting a strawman. Personally, my course of action in this matter (shallowness, simplifications and argumentative intolerance getting more widespread) is not to fight against it for people you disagree with, because they for sure won't listen to you, but to fight against it for people you actually agree with. This is the thing: in every of these "communities" you describe (transgender, religious, could be anything) there is actually little internal cohesion and there are different political ideals interacting. I prefer to put my own house in order. In fact that's the only thing i can meaningfully impact.
Ah, and now we’re talking about the real issue, which was the security risk.

My point has been this whole time that left-pad was not a story of a trivial function needlessly pulled from an external source as the person I replied to had claimed, and it appears you agree. Good!
Your above exercise is silly because it doesn’t control for genetics. How can you run a robust experiment without accounting for major confounds?

Even more we don’t even remotely understand how those confounds work - much less be able to control for them. This is why most psych / sociological experiments are weak.
I spent a long time back and forth with Anker customer support on an inability to charge my Pixel 6 Pro with an Anker charger and cable reliably.

It turned out that if I used a non-Anker cable or a non-Anker charger, everything works fine. Anker were happy to send me replacements for things, but no only-Anker solution would work reliably. I bought a bunch of cheap generic brand USB-C cables and they work much better.

I've stopped buying Anker now, since there now seems to be no benefit over buying a generic brand.
The so-called "Unix spirit" is itself a rather hilarious mistake from the early days of software engineering, when programmers knew essentially nothing about human/computer interaction and foolishly believed that "efficiency" in a mathematical sense translates to efficient workflows.

It took many decades of trial and error to overcome this dogma, but today's productivity software all features a massive amount of functionality integration, not functionality separation. Email and calendars are often used together, that's why they belong in the same program. Similarly, it makes sense for a programmer's editor to have an integrated terminal, and for a web browser to have an integrated bookmark manager.

"Small programs" is a bad idea that happens to sound like a good one. We don't really need to debate this, as reality has settled that debate long ago. Software serves people, not ideals of rational optimality. And default software must serve the greatest possible number of people well, else it's the wrong default.
INFJ doesn't match with the described "wildcard" in any way, as I see it. (And regarding INTJs it's only the "T").

> Introverted: INFJs are energized by time alone

Matching a "wildcard"? Rather no.

To have many hats you need to be flexible and open with people. Otherwise this won't work out.

Introverts don't like "jumping ship". The "wildcard" on the other hand is good at exactly this, and likes it actually.

> iNtuitive: INFJs focus on ideas and concepts rather than facts and details

Matching a "wildcard"? Quite a strong no.

To "get shit done" you need to focus on the practical side of things, facts and details, not the concepts behind them. Also you need a strong "good enough" attitude, something which someone who is concerned with the big picture and the abstract / theoretical ideas behind that is usually not good at. Philosophizing about shit doesn't get shit done.

> Feeling: INFJs make decisions based on feelings and values

Matching a "wildcard"? Also quite strong no.

To get shit done, and be at the same time good in many practical things, you need "thinking" rather than "feeling".

Values and feelings (especially of others!) don't mater much when you need to execute an urgent task quickly. It's more like "shot first, ask questions later". Someone who is concerned about the feelings of others would have a hard time to do that.

> Judging: INFJs prefer to be planned and organized rather than spontaneous and flexible

Matching a "wildcard"? Also quite sure not.

The described "wildcard" likes to jump in head first. That's the opposite of "planed and organized".

The article even mentions explicitly that "wildcards" are not well organized usually without the help of others.
