1. is not bad, continuous visual feedback is awesome and more ergonomic that switching to a "counting" mental mode, especially for shorter distances (of which 4 is a part)
3. similarly, it's just a deficiency in vim that 3yy is invisible, so using a command that provides visual feedback is superior. Maybe try to fit a Shift-V to a non-modifier keybind, and depending on how ESC is convenient, a better exit would also be nice
> So business decided to rewrite that system, but mistake they made was to create complete new team for that task. The new team didn't know why previous solution failed, as this was on first sight very simple system, and not knowing all of the hidden complexity made similar mistakes that caused previous system to fail.

The most nightmarish company I ever worked for did this, but took it even further: The two teams (old and new) were set up as competing with each other to see who could create the better solution. The team that lost (for some unclear definition of losing) would often see several people laid off and the remaining members assigned to lower seniority positions on the winning team.

It created chaos every time the CEO set up competitions like this. Few things create infighting and information hoarding quite like setting two teams against each other with the threat of losing their jobs if they let the other team succeed.
Yes! Cannot stress it enough. Move. It doesn't even have to be intense! Running can be traumatic. But calories don't care if it's a walk you're doing or a run.

Unless you have some fundamental food-related disorders it's not that hard. Our bodies were meant to gain weight weight quickly - and lose it if necessary. For most people losing 10-20 kg is a question of 3-4 months, or even less.

Partly Brexit, but partly our model of capitalism is broken. Our energy prices going wild means that local growers who rely on LED lighting out of season simply turned the lights off as there was no conceivable way of them producing economically.

That, in turn, is because despite the "subsidy" we have allowed our energy market to be designed around investors rather than consumers. Most of the continent has shielded consumers from the brunt of price rises: we haven't.

Really, it is just the brokenness of a British ruling class that prefers the success of the financial sector to a decent quality of life for citizens. It isn't caused by Brexit, Brexit is just a symptom.

I think there's a sort of horseshoe effect where both beginners and some experienced programmers tend to use print statements a lot, only differently.

When you're extremely "fluent" in programming code and good at mentally modelling code state, understanding exactly what the code does by looking at it, stepping through it doesn't typically add all that much.

While I do use a debugger sometimes, I'll more often form a hypothesis by just looking at the code, and test it with a print statement. Using a debugger is much too slow.

It already is affecting patients with existing prescriptions. Every time I move I have to jump through a series of hoops to get my doctor comfortable enough to prescribe, and I've been on the stuff for well over a decade.

For a while, having the receipts for previous scripts was enough. Then they started needing medical records, which is like, okay fine. This most recent move has my new physician demanding I get rediagnosed (in an area where the next available appointment with a psych taking new patients is in, like, July). Because "this is a family practice, my license is on the line".

The gradual ratcheting of pressure by the nanny-state DEA has doctors spooked.

Never mind that the more beurocratic hoops you put in front of someone with an executive function disorder, the closer to impossible you make it for them.

And the shortage is because of the dea. They placed arbitrary limits on what any one producer is allowed to make, so when one of them has supply chain issues, no one can cover for them.

Disband the DEA.

William Shawcross's Independent Review of Prevent [0] has on page 24

> 3.46 While the products related to Islamist terrorism focus on the most serious material relating to violent Islamist ideology, mostly Islamic State and al-Qa’ida, much of the material covering Extreme Right-Wing falls well below the threshold for even non-violent extremism.

> 3.47 This material tends to deal with broader themes and often covers content that relates to narratives on social media. These products not only covered non-violent far right extremism, but also examples of centre-right debate, populism, and controversial or distasteful forms of right-leaning commentary and intolerance. Some of this material falls well short of the extremism threshold altogether.

> 3.48 I saw one RICU analysis product from 2020 on Right-Wing terrorist and extremist activity online which referenced books by mainstream British conservative commentators as “key cultural nationalist ideological texts”. The same document listed “key texts” for white nationalists as including historic works of the Western philosophic and literary canon.

Emphasis mine.

So it is certain that some mainstream books were considered signifiers of right-wing extremism by Prevent's Research Information and Communications Unit (RICU), but I haven't seen any official publication of exactly what the list contained.

Amazon.se was registered by a 1-person company Amazon AB in 1997. The reason Amazon didn't launch in Sweden until 2020 was because the person who owned Amazon AB didn't want to sell (but finally did).

Since company tax filings are public in Sweden, you can deduct Amazon paid ~$500k for amazon.se, which in my mind is very cheap.

> this unfortunately leads to them passing on the taxes to renters

No, this is not how this works. Rent is set by demand and (very insufficient) supply.

If landlord could increase rent by $X - they would have increased it already (software in TFA speeds up the process, but doesn't set market clearing price). A simple thought experiment would be something akin "98% tax on rental income". "Pass it to renter" would imply 50x increase in rent to preserve existing income.

Bottom line: make it easier to build more housing. it doesn't have to be subsidized/affordable/below market rate[0]. Any addition of units has downward effect on rent across all range of prices.

[0] > [In Helsinki] The supply of new market rate units triggers moving chains that quickly reach middle- and low-income neighborhoods and individuals. Thus, new market-rate construction loosens the housing market in middle- and low-income areas even in the short run.

> Fumbling around with credit cards or IBAN numbers + having your banking app fail randomly when trying to authorize payments is annoying.

What country? I use 3 EU banks and different credit/debit cards and haven’t had issues in the past 5+ years; there is no fumbling; the data is stored in Apple Pay or google pay or the browser password vault, so maybe (there isn’t anymore as the banking apps immediately allow to add your card without you even having a physical card) there is 1 time fumbling and that’s it. And the banking apps have never failed for auth.

PayPal on the other hand stole money from my company and closed/banned my personal account because they simply couldn’t fix a bug they have and closing an account is easier and cheaper for them. It’s a horrible company and has high fees. Happy to never having to use them again.
It probably isn't actually "your organization". Some MS products just use that as a generic "this is disabled in some config or the other", (perhaps correctly) assuming that in most cases, it actually is turned off by the organization.

Very random example: SharePoint has a MS Word integration - you can open a .docx file from there, it opens in Word and you are actually able to edit the file on the server as if it was on your computer. At least in the older on-prem versions, this actually used the Word installed on your computer, not some web version.
If you used a custom authentication provider, a little browser opened within Word and you had to log in there. But Word needed to "trust" the domain. On a personal computer, you could just edit the trust settings in some Word menu, yet the error message still said "your organization..." if you didn't.
Sexism is apparently a big reason. Many of the early British computing experts were female. At some point it was "professionalised" and these skilled and experienced women were displaced by less skilled and less experienced men.

Hrr. I once got such a call in Germany while reconfiguring my Voip, so my usual filters were down.

But I've never heard of Microsoft germany calling endusers, nor doing that in english.

Was funny btw. I picked up, asked 'Wer stört?/Who is disturbing(me)?' and got an Indian accent bubbling something about calling from MS customer service, that they had to clean a virus.

Me in a mix between giggling and sighing: 'Could you stop your fucking script, PLEASE?!'

...You want me to open some page which tries to download some remote access tool, camouflaged as something else, hoping that would fly because my explorer doesn't show real file endings? While there is nothing from MS running here at all? Not even in a virtual machine?

He bubbling 'What is your name, what is this company?'

Me: 'I'm just the facility manager, doing house keeping stuff, and you don't need to know.'

He bubbling something about me being impolite.

Me countering with something about no need to be polite to fraudsters.

He flustered.

Me telling him about criminal acts, and our 'Bundesnetzagentur' where one can report such attempts, which leads to termination of such faked numbers, fines, and on occassion seized equipment, which makes the rounds in such circles, which leads to less and less acceptance of such 'businesses', because it's bad for their business. Too much hassle to be worth it.

About 10 minutes of hilarity ensued, where I asked why they are even trying it(in Germany), who would fall for it, if ever?

In the end, enraged gibberish, which I countered with 'Ja. Ja. Du mich auch, Arschloch!/Yes, Yes, the same to you, asshole!'

>I kinda feel like Bun missed its moment already.

While I'm not particularly into or even all that interested in Bun, this pop culture attitude in general always mystifies me. What's the purpose of adopting this attitude (or is it involuntary)?

Even if Vite were to do exactly what Bun does, they could both still exist and the world would just move along as it did before. Something being popular or not doesn't matter if it solves something.

I imagine people who have this attitude turn into people who never actually try out anything for fear of using something that less than 5% of developers use. Most actually good things I know are used by far less than even that and they solve real problems for me.

P.S. I would argue popularity hasn't helped JavaScript one bit: it's barely improving at all and most of the ecosystem is still a massive pain to use, most of the libraries are awful, performance is still lacking and basics like threading are still not solved. The popularity only helps with getting people into the churn and that's a dubious goal at best. Most of these points apply to Python as well.

Git simply wasn't designed for that and so the key issue with storing binaries in it is what you mentioned last - that the way git works, a full clone has the full history of all the files. Deleting a file in git then doesn't actually delete the file from git history, so a fresh full clone of 500G of photos isn't going to be 500G, it's going to be that, times however many copies exist in history. A shallow clone solves that, and shallow clones supposedly work better these days in latest version of git, but fundamentally you're using a hammer on screws, as it were.

If you're open to new tools, git annex is what you're looking for. The other two options are Subversion, which has some DVCS features these days, or Perforce Helix Core (paid), though I can't vouch for it as I've never used it.

Minecraft is so broken that I’ve removed it from all family devices.

This is obviously done on purpose. In the same way that Google ties users to Android devices when you add a Gmail account, MS takes every opportunity to assign their online account whenever they catch you off guard (installing a local Teams app instead of joining through the browser, signing into Minecraft at your school etc.). At this point you need to go through all the steps of dissociating your account from these devices. Sometimes they will reassign them after an update, so you need to watch out.

For that reason I never use MS online apps on my private devices and whenever I need to sign in online, I always use the private mode or a dedicated Firefox container.
One of the magical things microsoft has accomplished is that governments and corporates trust them so much.

Some kind of Stockholm syndrom.

I used to consult, and got at one point hired to explain to higher management, at a small but important "regulatory" government department, why 256kbps ADSL sucked for rdesktop (which was on a private ATM channel from the incumbent telco, very expensive, and also very bad, it was still ADSL over an ATM backbone, in 2005, supposedly it was more secure ...). Note 256kbps = 32 KB/sec. I'm not sure how much they paid, but the page describing the product at the telco said to call to make an appointment for sales to visit you to get some pricing info. Oh, and the backend connection for this had to be done in duplicate, with endpoints in 2 different countries. I'm pretty sure just the backend connections cost a decent house a month at minimum.

Needless to say, over 32 KB/sec, rdesktop is pretty much unusable. Not that said incumbent telco actually delivered 32 KB/sec, merely because they paid through the nose.

So I wrote a 40 page document, written in 12 days, for a just-barely-not-6-figure-bill. They had an excellent restaurant. Steak for 4 euro, and every week a different theme. Even the spaghetti bolognaise was excellent. Didn't do anything for the rest of 2 months, going in several times with my access badge just for the restaurant (to "discuss followup"). This went very slowly because of the top 3 levels of management, who had to approve everything, 2 were government appointed positions. These people never even came in because their performance and future at the company was only tied to their party's performance in elections, which had absolutely nothing to do with what this department was regulating.

Google can probably provide incredible remote desktops. Small companies can't, due to cost (not of the connection, hardware cost. Remote desktops, to be good, need to be machines running large VMs. That means modern i9s with 64G of ram MINIMUM). I'm not sure what Google uses, but ... Large companies and government can't, due to "best practices" preventing timely upgrades. This happens because they require everything be explained, risk-assessed, verified by external consultants, signed in triplicate, sent in, sent back, queried, lost, found, subjected to public inquiry, lost again, and finally buried in soft peat for three months and recycled as firelighters.

In my case, my personal and professional Microsoft addresses are the same (same email, different accounts) which means that in many cases I end up in impossible situations when the login screen doesn’t correctly guess if I want to sign in personal or with my “work” account. I also do client work for organisations where I need to sign into their O365 and honestly the only way to manage all that is to keep a dedicated browser “per account”.
