I've asked this before but I'll ask it again. Usually when people say they don't like vim plugins for other editors, they say that the plugin doesn't do everything they need. What features of vim are people missing in the plugins?

I've been using vim and vim bindings for like 3 years now. I've occasionally ran in to something that the plugin doesn't handle well but I can work around it with a custom binding. This has only happened a handful of times. I'm genuinely curious about what features of vim I've been missing out on!
Weapons manufacturers would not benefit from this.
So the fact that India is building nuclear reactors that are cheaper than solar is a lie?

I just looked inside the linux appimage. There's only a 2.4MB libffmpeg.so and it doesn't link against anything else than libc stuff.
I don't think "modern" stacks are sane enough to "handroll" anymore. Sure, you can do it, but look at the poster in this thread that details the setup of a debian server.

Kubernetes, "Argo CD", zero-trust, the sheer amount of "management" is off the chart.

"Installation of kube-prometheus-stack helm chart"..
"Installation of openebs-zfspv"..

It's not postgres that's the problem here.
in the era of arrow keys and ball mice, lg probably felt like trash. who knew it would end up so iconically broken :-)
I mean, I didn't originally want to call out the insane claim that everyone should try to personally verify all truth propositions. I guess you truly are the ultimate skeptic, or you have infinite time to throw away. Fortunately, for all productive people, our institutions are reliable, more often than not!
Can you share a sample?
Are you perhaps blocking third-party requests? It looks like they’re hosted in S3.
Using IMAP? Did you read the emails on the other device? I thought IMAP synced the read state between devices.
> We can roughly break the costs of operating any power plant into three categories: fuel costs, operation and maintenance costs, and capital costs

The article forgets to mention another cost: The cost of disposing/storing used up fuel. This is often forgotten, but a major cost too, if the spent fuel is to be stored safely and securely. And it needs to be stored like that for hundreds of thousands of years!

Switzerland is currently in the process of building a national waste storing facility, a quick Google search showed that the US currently does not have one.
No. Next question ?
i don't think you realize what it means to have a polytechnic or even better normal sup ulm diploma.

those schools don't draft people based on bullshit application. It's a super super hardcore science exam that only a few dozen people per year pass. It's a bit like the putnam, with bachelor-level math and physics curriculum.

The mistake people make in France is to conclude that people coming from those schools will be good at just any position, management, running a huge company, etc.
But in that specific case, they'll actually be doing hardcore science and ML all day long. It makes perfect sense.
Oh, didn't know about QuakeC. Shame on me.

So both the "normalize" and the improper swap are the part of the original source?
Individual reporters making money with a blog (instead of employment with a news outlet) certainly have worse fact checking. The best news sources in the world have huge fact checking teams that help to verify everything. This small mistakes that Tabbi made would be much less likely to slip if he were part of a major news org.

Hmm. This is kinda the opposite of what I'd expect.

I'd think a smaller VC would be more conservative with their risk, while a large one would be more liberal, in that the larger VC could withstand more failures to get the even bigger infrequent wins

Tech Literacy in General
Often I see people talking about getting a new phone because of the broken screen. Or the battery life deteriorated after 18 months. They does't seem to have the idea that things can be repaired.

Or stories like people think buying 8GB ram 256SSD macbook would never be an issue, in the year of 202x. After doing so they never stop complain about lack of storage.

Also people that never know that they can download a picture/video directly. Instead they always capture they screen in order to share or store that infomation for their whole life.

I once helped a year 4 CS student to setup a computer in the lab. I passed him the power adoptor for the 27 inch monitor. He look at me and asked "what is it for"?.

I am not here talking about stuff that you will argue "not being used in real life" like math or quantum physics. But the basic concepts and senses of daily technological devices. People seems know nothing despite owing and using them everyday.

What do you think about this topic?
>whoever coded that really was deep into the tail end of a caffeine, coding and sleep deprivation binge ;)

That's most indie game devs of the period, but more so at id Software which splintered the team during Quake's development due to internal squabbles, causing John Romero and others to leave id.

You can even tell that from the quality of Quake's levels which start with beautifully crafted and intricate levels, and as you approach the end, progress into "whatever, let's just ship it, this is gonna sell" kind of levels that were mostly just boring repetitive filler to pad the play time.
You never forget your first.
Also, if you’re not bound to using Vim without plugins, then the CleverF plugin lets you repeat with f/F instead of ;/,

It’s IMO easier to hit f again than to reach for the semicolon, and moreover this frees ; and , for usage in your own mappings (e.g. leader and localleader)
Ethereum, the chain this bot runs on, no longer has any connection to GPUs.
Make them liable and their insurer will tell them to upgrade their trucks. As soon as you make this about money, the problem goes away. Right now the issue is "oops I did it again" style accidents where everybody just shrugs "what can you do?!" and "that's just the way things work". As soon as people are on the spot for millions in damages, they'll start getting very pro-active about preventing that from happening. And in the business world that means insurers start paying attention because it's them that pay these damages.

That's also what has driven safety changes in passenger cars. Cars have all sorts of technology on board to keep drivers and other traffic participants safe. Liability insurance is not optional so insurers are on the spot when things go badly wrong. So, technology that saves lives saves them money. So, they apply pressure and incentives to make sure vehicle owners buy vehicles where they can get favorable insurance rates.

The reason that so far hasn't happened with trucks is because police and judges go easy on the truckers when bad stuff happens. So they aren't on the spot financially and their insurers aren't either. It's not their problem. Making it their problem is the fix.

It does use some parts of libavformat, libavfilters, libavcodec. But HandBrake it's not an FFmpeg cli UI and it's quite different.
> Do you prefer navigating files like a startled hamster, jabbing "alt-left" incessantly? Or like a ninja, swift and accurate?

Easy: I must prefer anything that lets me work while remembering about three or four different keys. So anything that replaces a complex shortcut with "hit an easily remembered key ten times" will win hands down.

Because the alternative to whacking the key ten times isn't doing some elegant chord, it's going through a six level context menu or googling for how to do it. Yes I have programmed for 20 years and mostly in the same editors and I still don't know anything beyond the smallest handful of shortcuts for any of them.
What is the test though? Can you make it big before the tests matter? Would you be punished if the tests eventually fail?

If you do really well with life sciences, you'll convince people that you've got a miracle cure, while convincing regulators that you aren't selling a miracle cure. Like an ivermectin
FWIW, I've seen issues with that type too. Specifically, I once watched a user trying to scroll across a very large model. When the scrollbar moved by just one pixel, the model moved by more than half a screenful. It was painful.
That would look bad diplomatically. It’s one thing to make up an excuse before going. It’s another thing to cancel in the middle and leave. Not sure what would be accomplished by this.
But we can quite easily feel the difference between these ChatGPT messages which are too much and a genuine message.

We know corporate BS when we see it.

And in the example in this post I think the doctor said more or less the same thing to the relatives as the ChatGPT message, the biggest difference was that with the ChatGPT message he sat down with everyone around and reading it out load. Had he stopped and given a few seconds/minutes with all relatives around him and talked with his own words he would reached the same effect.

The other effect is that it was written down. Written texts seems more authoritative than words that just come out of a mouth. So reading from a paper sounds more fact like than just speaking. He could have taken any paper. Or have prepared papers for the most common questions.

What are the odds that exactly three years ago, your response to the same question was "The experts told us that this was definitely, positively not a lab leak, and anyone who says otherwise is a racist"?
The movement? It was just dull but they fixed it with QuakeWorld.

Bunny hopping is fun until you encounter stairs. They fixed that mechanic in Quake 2 but then everything else about this game is crap. Q3 was OMG, simply amazing

Movement wise, CPM/CQ3 or QuakeLive is where things became fun again
Most of the people working on a film aren’t Keanu Reeves spending four months learning to fight. Most of them are very similar to the distracted, fungible office workers mentioned in the article and nobody would have seen these films without them juggling their inboxes.

As Marxist as I tend to be, I view banning media outright is counterproductive. It lifts that work up an ideological martyr and encourages seeking it. If you disagree with an ideology, then dissect it intellectually and reveal the full history of why it is suboptimal.

2 books worth reading:

1. "The People's History of the United States" by Howard Zinn

2. Brevísima relación de la destrucción de las Indias (A Short Account of the Destruction of the Indies) 1552 by Bartolomé de las Casas. If you thought the slave trade in the British Colonies was brutal, the Heart of Darkness-like massacre of indigenous peoples by the Spanish was akin to the Cambodian genocide multiplied by 10: ~30 million deaths from imported diseases and brutal mass murder, exclude ~11 million African slaves.

Few of the specific dirty deeds done in the name of Manifest Destiny and white supremacy are taught in school. Garrison Mob of 1835, Detroit 1863, Washington and Norfolk 1919, Chicago 1919, Garfield Park 1919, Jenkins County GA 1919, Charleston 1919, Texas 1919, Arizona 1919, Tulsa 1921, Washington DC 1925 (KKK march), and on it goes.
"You can't trust anything" (with an implied "But you can trust me.") is, however, the battle cry of the charlatan.

Part of the exasperation of "Team Science" is that so many from "Team Other" are not acting in good faith. Most of "Team Other" doesn't actually care about getting to truth--they only care about winning (for some value of that--the leaders grifting and the followers "sticking it" to the other team).
I just don't think it's realistic to completely remove risk of other people's actions while driving down a high speed road. You can't slow down to a crawl every time a vehicle is at the side of the road, or turning across your lane from the other side. Yes, you can drive defensively - but at some point if you're driving at 60mph you have to have some level of trust that other people won't pull out suddenly.
Same for me, learned to properly touch type with my language layout and with the help of notches on 'f' and 'j' to help me find home row. Being able to keep my eyes on the screen while typing catches a lot of mistakes.

The earliest strains of Covid were by far the most severe ones. It's not that surprising to me that the very first patients contracted a strain more likely to put them in the hospital.

The severity also depends a lot on viral load.

Maybe. One place I was at the CEO said everyone needed to be reachable on Slack within 15 minutes during work time. Nevertheless I would go offline for an hour or two at a time (which is as long as I can do deep work anyway) and it never seemed to be a problem. But directly disobeying the CEO always felt like something that was one unanswered Slack message away from disaster.
It's only a major cost due to the need to manage media headlines, NIMBYism and an uninformed public. You actually could just dump it into the ocean to join the billion tons of Uranium already there...

It's great for learning the muscle memory of basic motions.
The most amazing thing about vim is that, even as a fairly basic user, I can read an article like this, learn a ton, and still realize that I have an easier way of doing something than the author (why use 100gg when :100 exists?).

It seems no matter how much you know about vim, there's always more.
Depends on the signal. There is lots of complexity in a 4G LTE or 5G signal. Take a look at the waterfall of this 4G base station.

I don't think one can look at this as an either or thing but a spectrum of levels too.

Almost nothing in life is 100% black and white, quite literally everything you study has more and more edge cases the more you study, even math breaks itself if you try and prove it. But we have reliable levels of math that function as we need it. And generally most things are good enough you can use it reliably. Just because something may break doesn't mean it's useless or anything.

Free will is also a spectrum and we all have different levels and different experiences of it. We all have choices we make but we might not be even aware of them. Our body influences our choices and our thinking influences our body. A double edged sword.

I remember reading an inspirational tale based on a real author who had to save himself because of his medical bills. He was completely disabled and would write blog posts with his eyes and eventually became such a good writer he was able to publish books and move to Mexico and get nurses to help care for him etc. This guy who has literally only a brain and functional eyes became some millionaire though sheer determination to save himself. Then you might find some rich well off person kill themselves because they can't find a reason to live. Two extremes. One with everything another with basically nothing, I mean would really want to live with that your whole life? Is the natural thought to reverse that?

Then you have cats able to communicate quite well with in various ways. I could go on and on about my cat informing me when he is sick etc.

I never even got into the whole thing about how your trillion of cells right now are making their own decisions in your body. I mean what even are you but a million things you'll never see or think about unless you get cancer or something when your cells decide not to die. What are you without their death?

Also could go into how memories are stored outside the brain with worm studies etc, and how fungus solves mazes, how plants communicate by smell and sound, there is a lot of werid stuff the more you look.

Nice website...

A cookie nag for no reason and then pop up for signing up that doesn't close with the "x" or "No Thanks". Man we need some form of great purge on the web to get rid of all of these awful shit websites.
Can confirm - just adding msleep(1) there causes the same failure. I'm also unclear if sleeping here is valid or not.
While I believe in equal value of human life, I don't think we are in any way equal in abilities both inborn and acquired. People like Aurelius are rare and dismissing him and his accomplishments as "rich people have it easy" doesn't do justice to both his skills and rather significant sacrifices. More importantly, it absolves us from taking a look at ourselves and the state of our lives.

He seems to have resisted, or rather, his particular ethical framework provided the power to resist two very big and very real problems:

"Mo money mo problems" (~Socrates)

"Power corrupts; absolute power corrupts absolutely" (~Shania Twain)
And it's possible that "more resourceful" will try to "work" this way in a few full-time jobs at once.
When I moved to the US, I was flabbergasted at the number of traffic-related fatalities. Granted, I live in Texas and it seems to be above average, but I kind of miss the days when I still thought that Portuguese drivers were insane because of the way they overtake other vehicles.

When I drive, I try to avoid nearby trucks in every possible way. For some reason, “right of way” doesn’t seem to apply to them while changing lanes. As a result, a handful of my friends and relatives have been hit by trucks, none of these ever stopping to check for damages.

I don’t know if it’s the same everywhere but it definitely is an issue around where I live.
Removing a book from a school library is not banning it. But even if it were, why does posting a bunch of examples of people banning things contradict someone saying "I don’t think there can ever be a legitimate case for banning a piece of media". Are you trying to say that banning things is obviously done and therefore it is good, or...?
On the flip side, Europe does have more tedious liquid regulations (all small bottles fitting within a clear 1L bag with hat must be outside your luggage). Security lines at massive airports (CDG, LHR) are still pretty long and not that much different from non-precheck US security. At least if you’re connecting through many EU airports, you don’t have to go through security again! (Unlike you, LHR…) I’ve also only ever been swabbed at European airports.

There are fees. The $3 in this case was the profit left over for the trader after all fees where paid.
The Australia case is a clear example of misspent money because headlines rule the world.

Those millions of dollars could have saved a dozen lives, while odds are very high that capsule would have not been found by a civilian until after decaying to a harmless level. In the very unlikely event of being found it would likely have killed only one or two people.
Not sure, I left quite a while ago, haven't really kept up with them. I doubt it though, the CEO didn't care too much about infinite growth and just wanted to build a helpful app for the handful of people who would appreciate a service like that
It happens but it is rare. Given the COVID outbreak, it is definitely circumstancial evidence.
Well, it seems pretty comprehensive, and includes home automation. And Matter/Thread is what all the cool kids are using.
Separate primary energy from useful energy. An ICE car is 20-25% thermally efficient while BEVs are 90%.
A phase transition can store lots of energy without the inconvenience of changing temperature.

Melting water ice into liquid water at 0°C takes approximately as much energy as heating the same amount of water from 0°C (assuming that it is already/still liquid) to 80°C.

With a material that has a transition temperature of e.g. 21°C, a room could be kept at a very pleasant temperature even when energy is flowing into or out of it.
The book is also filled with anecdata instead of hard data.
If I could have my time again I'd focus on enablement of the broader engineering group through an incident management process, readiness exercises, some aggregate incident analyses for the org to learn from and leaning into observability.

Infrastructure is kind of a solved problem for common use cases today, just requires the expertise.

With our ducks in a row I'd next have look to a GRC function for the compliance bits whilst splitting the platform engineers time between embedding engagements and tooling investments.

You're on the right path man, I'd love to know what I know now back then but unfortunately time doesn't work like that.
> why oh why do we prioritise deadlines over productivity

I feel this is a tradeoff between latency and bandwidth.

Hitting a tight deadline (or Sprint goal) by creating a bunch of technical debt delivers the feature we need today faster (lower latency). But at the expense of making features tomorrow more difficult to create (lower long-term bandwidth).

I think it's OK to prioritize one over the other based on the business needs.

But I think it needs to be an explicit decision and tradeoff, and I worry that too often managers choose low latency because they can feel it and see the results, and don't understand the tradeoff they're making.
I wouldn't define it "slow" productivity rather than "focused".

Office workers too are often at their best productivity when they are focused on a specific task.
Thanks for the clarification, it took me rereading the article a couple more times to fully sink-in lol

Great write-up! I'm eager to test a few of these methods out in the lab
