I see where you're coming from. FWIW, I've been using Neovim for an odd 7 years or so and only use plugins where absolutely necessary. I'll usually just add an appropriate BufWritePost (trigger after saving the buffer) autocommand for the language's file extension that does what I want. Or I'll add a keybind in .config/nvim/ftplugin/<lang>.vim (or <lang>.lua). You can do fancier stuff with plugins but I find that I just don't need it (and you probably don't either, by the looks of it).

The default LSP client config at https://github.com/neovim/nvim-lspconfig#suggested-configura... sets everything up for you, if you're using an LSP server. I'm not sure why it hasn't been merged into the Neovim repo; possibly because they want to keep the editor core fast and minimal.

All this means you have to do a little more configuring than with something like VSCode, but to be honest, I haven't legitimately needed to make big changes to my config in a few years. There's stuff I add for fun (like little lua scripts to manage my clipboard and to layout tabs the way I want), but to maintain a 'VSCode' level of functionality none of it's needed. The advantage of spending a little extra time, for me, has been that my editor 'fits like a glove', so to speak :)

Isn’t this the ‘problem’ that AI is trying to solve?
I use a pile of paper and pen next to my desk. It’s my TODO and also my random idea dump. Sometimes all of the tasks get finished and the ideas executed and checked off. Other times they languish. Eventually I crumple up the ones that have been collecting dust too long and toss them in the recycling bin. If it sat around forgotten for that long it wasn’t important. My goal is to augment the information filtering and prioritization neural network that sits behind my forehead, not fight against it by imposing artificial constraints, categories or rigidity on it. Just as important as retaining and acquiring information is letting go of useless info.

To a great extent I feel the same about working in a team. I’ve found that a team of 3-8 people with a well aligned vision doesn’t need to track tasks or assign priorities. Especially when there is good guidance from above on the longer term vision. I’ve seen these tools used as duck tape for the wrong team, team size, product vision, etc.

We've tried this sort of thing before. Trying to be "race blind" does not result in a post-racism world, it casts a pall on the discourse that makes racism harder to acknowledge and address. Anytime you need to discuss it you have to run a gambit of people arguing that acknowledging issues related to race is the "real" racism.

Trying to be "gender blind" will result in much the same. The world is complex; we need to account for that complexity, not ignore it.
Having AI kill humans on their own without any supervision is an extremely controversial move. It will result in friendly fire sooner or later, and the resulting controversy is pretty much guaranteed to terminate the program.

Canada has one unified criminal code nation wide. For instance a province can't make weed legal or enact laws banning certain guns that are ok in others.

I've been using Leap extensively for personal projects, and I really like the philosophy of the distro, but it feels very different from CentOS (which I use at work).

A lot of the tooling that has been built for SLES is included in OpenSuSE (yast, snapper, etc.) and it makes a world of difference for managing servers.

I understand why they want to cater to the CentOS sysadmins looking for an alternative, but without the brand recognition of RHEL behind it, it's an uphill battle -despite being a very good distro in its own right.

Setting up vim with IDE features takes an hour maximum + 2 minutes per additional language.

If that is too much for you, you could have used any of the various vim/nvim distributions with the features already there. You could have even used Doom Emacs with vim keys.

If you don't want to use vim, I do not mind whatsoever, but if you put in a bit of effort the solution to your problems would appear.
No, it's not clunky. The plugin community is just a lot more active, imo. I personally avoid plugins wherever I can, since I prefer to write my own little Lua scripts that do stuff the way I like. (And I quite like the Lua API-- the lua plugins I use seem be a lot faster/less janky than the vimscript ones, as well? not sure)

The real equivalent of a kei truck in the US I think is a minivan. I see a lot of blue collar workers that use an old beater minivan as a work truck basically. Its an easy engine and platform to work on; something like a honda odyssey shares parts with a civic and most anything else they made in the same era. There is a ton of space when you take out the seats, that locks up unlike a truck bed. The floor is a lot lower than a truck bed which makes it easy to load stuff in and out. You get much better gas mileage than most commercial van platforms. They sell for a few thousand dollars in decent shape used and hold their value.

Unfortunately weight _is_ generally a predictor of occupant safety.

IIHS says:

“Frontal crash test results can't be used to compare vehicle performance across weight classes.… Given equivalent frontal ratings, the heavier of two vehicles usually offers better protection in real-world crashes.”

"FTA:
they would involve placing aluminum AM-2 mats along a strip of highway, up to 1,500 feet long. This will be sufficient for the stealth jets to carry out short takeoffs and vertical landings while protecting the road beneath them."

"AM-2 matting consists of 1 1/2" x 2' steel rectangles coated with a epoxy nonskid material, available in both 6 and 12 foot lengths, and are assembled in a brickwork pattern to form runways, taxiways, parking and other areas required for aircraft operations and maintenance. Thirty ISO containers can be constructed to form a 1,500 square foot vertical, short landing and take off airfield and can accommodate up to a total of eleven CH53, UH1, AH1 and AV8B aircraft. " [1]

I wonder about FOD. i.e. all the crap in and around a highway that could damage the engines..

> What they're really listening for now are reactor plant noises.

Which is why old timey diesel electric submarines still sometimes have the edge over modern subs. No plant noises at all if they are running silent.

This leads to some hilarity in joint naval exercises every now and then. e.g. when HNLMS Walrus managed to "sink" among others the USS Theodore Roosevelt before getting away, to great consternation of the Americans.
> What if we're the new kid on the interstellar space-travel block?

An appealing story. Like, you could write a science fiction novel or show or something.

But such narratives don't really mean much except for their appeal to evolved monkeys. So if we live in a galaxy full of rubber-forehead aliens, that works just fine. They're keeping secret so as to not violate the prime directive!

There's no way to game this. Humans aren't interesting in any way, shape, or form. Dreaming up ways that I'm wrong doesn't make me wrong, it just means you're dreaming up new stories.

If I'm wrong, then I get to maybe read something interesting in a few years.

If you're wrong, then you're emotionally devastated because your super-narcissism just isn't being satisfied.

> and they want to start trading?

Trading what? Are our atoms better than their atoms? The universe doesn't work like that. There's nothing to trade. It costs thousands of dollars to lift a kilo to orbit... what do you think a kilo of Earth's finest Colombian coffee costs to send 15 light years away? And does it even taste the same after making the journey? All those weird volatiles and organic molecules do weird things after decades of storage, no matter how cold. After getting zapped with radiation on the trip.

If they wanted to trade data, maybe... but why come? Long distance calls are cheaper than the Intergalactic Uber Data thing. And it's a big maybe. None of our data is interesting, though maybe they won't know that until they've seen it I guess. Again, long distance not delivery.

> What if we are actually headed towards a worse climate catastrophe than we think, and they are desperate to warn us?

I'd expect more of a 4chan "lulz" response. But either way, that's a little expensive. When's the last time you saw someone broken down at the side of the road and spent $90 trillion to help them?

Evolutionary pressures caused their minds to develop in such a way that they feel intellectual kinships with gibbering alien horrors they've never met before, from the other side of the universe?

Because the author and the team keep setting unachievable timeframes.

Five-ish years ago they were aiming for a 1.0 within a year while still having major milestones like adding actors (and re-writing half of internals to support actors) on the roadmap.
> I find that any IDE-type setup in vim causes vim to lose the most important thing, speed. If your movements slow down because of too many plugins, the experience is far worse than in a normal non-modal IDE.

Um… the word any is doing a lot of work in this sentence. I never had this problem on a 7 year-old iMac. I tried using VS Code on the same machine with just a few plugins on small projects and because it's an Electron app, I'd get frustrated and switch back to Neovim. VS Code has come a long way but it's no Neovim.

The beauty of new plugin managers like Lazy.nvim [1] is you could have 30 plugins configured but Lazy doesn't load all of them at once. In fact, it doesn't load any of ones you don't need and when they do load, it's asynchronous.

Plugins on Neovim run on separate threads from the editor itself, another reason we don't get those slowdowns you spoke of.
I used vim for a long time and now use Emacs doom/evil over top for most of my daily work. I’d say the part of the key bindings that I find hard to live without is the modal editing side of it which helps me really think about the macros I use when moving around or editing.

The other thing I really love is the integration with the old ed editor so you can quickly do several really flexible edits with regex and get what you want. I’m sure emac’s built in functionality can do some/most of the stuff but it’s no where near as concise and other editors have no such built in functionality to speak of.
The problem is the method of prioritisation. I propose a method I call "task shortlisting", the only tool I've found capable of achieiving it from an interface perspective is Trello:

> You could get the same benefit just by adding the class to the high school curriculum.

This doesn't contribute to the upkeep of roads in the same manner as a yearly tax on those that use them.

So no, not the same benefit at all.
The ones that don't die or get permanently maimed in an accident live long and healthy lives, you mean. Which is still a very large majority, sure, but dying from a road accident is still a way more common way to die in those countries (7-15 times more likely than where I live), and it's a sudden death that can happen to anyone of any age. A kid needlessly dying because his parent irresponsibly carried her on their lap is such a waste of a life.
It’s going to birth an empty fad, where every island is a silly hat island, but most people don’t wear one.

But anyways, why does it matter? Will my silly hat experience not be as good if other people aren’t wearing one? I’m wearing for myself.

Nobody gives a toss about the use of hand grenades or mines, and yet the recent chip shortage due to covid has highlighted some irrefutable facts.

One drone with a cpu, toroidal props for increased range, speed and silence, and a range of onboard sensors are far better at attacking target objects than SAS soldiers dug into a ditch for several days trying to remain down wind of a dog.

In other words, lithium ion batteries mean drones can be dug in for longer observing or waiting to assassinate than biological robots aka the military.

That changes the window of opportunity despite all the current surveillance methods in place today, like our computers, mobile phones, bank accounts, payment cards and loyalty cards, whilst also pleasing some of the animal rights group, who havent bought the so called free press lies through omission.

> I don't really want to think about the mechanism by which talc induces weight loss along with the active ingredient.

Since you’re referring to my parallel comment, I figured I’d let you know that your comment seemed to imply that talc was an active ingredient used for weight loss.
It does in the same way that talc causes weight loss

The libertarianism the article speaks of at the end gave way to right-wing populism, while Silicon Valley moved into mixture of hard capitalism and social justice (dodging taxes and monopolizing while showing pride flags)

NvChad[1]is the first vim/neovim config that worked for me for coding. What I also like in NvChad is that all my custom configs can be placed under a `custom` directory, leaving the provided config as is and easing upgrades of NvChad itself. This doesn't seem to be the case with LazyVim.

This could be true if it wasn't Russia using a bigger and bigger fraction of pre-1991 weapons as the war goes on.

If anything, Western precision artillery and rocketry became more and more useful in disrupting Russian logistics.
The nature of the jobs change too though. Do you believe jobs will become more or less skilled/autonomous and connect people more or less with their fellow man? Some of us are pessimistic about those questions.
You're thinking of car tax and fuel tax.

But also, the value of roads scales poorly with any of these things. The ability to have a package delivered to your front door is valuable regardless of whether or not you even have a car, and the value of it depends on what's in it rather than how much the truck cost. The most sensible way to fund any kind of basic infrastructure is from general revenues.
It's not a problem in Safari, Edge, or Chrome either. What is the security issue that's being checked?
Helix is interesting but I don't really gel with its editing language (subject + verb instead of verb + subject like (n)vim's). Happy to discuss what I think is lacking in more detail, but basically: the premise of 'you can see what you're about to operate on before you do the action' is satisfied for me by visual mode, and I like macros better than multiple cursors. So I don't want a (subjectively) less efficient editing language for these features. I think I generally agree with the complaints in [1], with the addition that I don't want to have to chord (press shift in the case of Kakoune, I forget what helix does here) to extend a selection.

I wish they'd add a Vi mode. ;)
