I spent years and years enjoying using vim for the same purpose when I was a sysadmin. I was absolutely disgusted beyond belief to find out people actually used it as their daily IDE when I became a developer.

Minor tip: “cease to exist” is the phrase you almost surely intended.
The problem is that Vim can be used to create config files and source code files among other things. VS Code can be used for very much the same things.

The output of both tools is practically the same thing.

The niche of things Vim can do and VS Code can't is tiny and constantly decreasing.

> and at least as fast as owning a car

No it doesn't. If it takes an hour by bus or 30 minutes by car, that 1 hour is more useful to me and way less stress. Until I didn't have to drive every day due to Covid, I didn't realize how costly driving, especially in traffic or long distances, was to my mental health.

It sounds like you're not able to take advantage of the Internet on your smartphone to the same degree as I am. Between the web browser, and all the apps, especially Gmail, there's enough there that I can take care of some chores/errands. I'm not talking about burning time on social media, though that's certainly available. With hotspot functionality, I'm able to do real work on my laptop, anywhere there's cellphone service and also some company shuttles have wifi.

Look, cars are luxuriously convenient but having to drive isn't. We have Stockholm syndrome with it, and think it's a good deal. But we're commenting on an article about self driving cars because it isn't.

Have you forgotten how slow 56k dial-up was? A high-quality 1MP JPEG would take the best part of a minute to load under ideal conditions. Firefox lets you simulate this in the responsive design mode. You can view the website at a resolution of the day (like 1025x768) and throttle the speed to GPRS, which is similar to 56k speed. You can easily see why they used small images. Having the larger images available was just them being nice, but it wasn't at all practical to have them by default.

Amazing to think that today we expect videos to start playing instantly.

This is the correct solution with auto insurance in America. You should never stay with the same company more than 3-5 years, just like you should never stay at the same job longer than that. Loyalty is penalized in America, and you can get a better deal by jumping ship. Always shop around for better rates when your auto insurance policy is due for renewal.

I have the same strategy of exploration except I do it by running. I recently moved to Prague and my way of learning the city layout is to look at a map and plan a rough route that connects certain landmarks and then I go out and try to run it by memory. Rinse and repeat and pretty quickly and I quickly end up knowing the city layout better than almost everyone including the locals. The only issue with this approach is that you naturally end up knowing your are much better than the rest of the city, but even that can be helped by starting out with a tram ride to some other part of the city and then running back.

That said I like doing this both by bike, tram/metro, _and_ by car as well. By bike it's the same process, but you see everything faster and take different routes. Riding the tram/metro connects you to places in other ways and kind of teaches you those routes. By car it's the same thing, but another level. For me the important part is to basically not look at any map throughout the process and find your way around by landmarks, signs, etc. Looking at a map before/after is fine, but during you should just be navigating own your own.
D3D11, Metal and WebGPU are all pretty good in that they are much less brittle than the OpenGL programming model while still being usable by mere humans without 20 years experience of writing GPU drivers - which is pretty much what's expected to make any sense of Vulkan ;)

I think the world is in chaos, caused by the aftermath of what we did to the economy during COVID, and the upcoming AI takeover, which is happening very gently, not Hollywood style, although you see Hollywood went to strike because of it, basically. It's just taking jobs, and it's coming for whole companies and industries too, as we quietly whisper to one another that it's just making us more productive, and if we learn to use AI all will be well (as if there's anything to learn). The new equilibrium is something none of us can foresee. In fact I'm sure it's something none of us have foreseen. But it'll be weird.

There is different motivations, for one my website at the moment just hosts some of my photographic work. So instead of messing with frameworks and/or apps I prefer to make more photos, easiest way to avoid some kiddie taking it over because I forgot to update Wordpress or something is to have just html.

One thing I noticed while messing with it tho is that the effort to do the basics today is much bigger than 10 years ago. Not because things are more convoluted but because the standards are much higher. You have to work on mobile and desktop, expectation of behaviour is also much higher. Animations are expected, etc.

I also solve this problems everyday for work, last thing I want is to do it for me I guess. Funny is that Im also doing way more than I needed, because I could pay for squarespace or something and be done with it but I also want to control it too much?

> drunk instead of water because the alcohol sterilized it.

No it didn’t. Just think about it, beer is what? 4-10% ABV? That’s not even remotely enough to sterilize anything.

Boiling which is part of the beer making process obviously helped and beer could be stored for longer than some other beverages but people obviously drank water and understood that boiling it made it safer to drink.

For practical purposes you don't have to know what the monad "is". You need some good practical examples how to wield them.

Knowing some prehistory about doesn't affect usage. And metaphors are very tricky and personal.

The personal part is where the "monad tutorials" fall flat. They assume shared context which may or not may not be actually shared by a random reader on the internet. Yes, some monads are really about "wrapping a value" or whatever.

Reading a post using this metaphor when you want such a wrapping and/or deal with chaining wrappers regularly can bootstrap your understanding in no time. But if you're reading "wrapper"-flavored tutorial while dealing with "pipes" then the spell breaks, you end up confused, and another one joins the "monads are uncomprehensible" group.

Teaching is hard enough. Writing good tutorials is even harder. Successfully giving an universally good drive-by explanation is next to zero probability.

I suspect this is a knowledge variant of "XY problem" and you have to establish more context before answering.

And another problem that "what is a monad" is already a meme. Everyone has the burning desire to ask it, but usually there's no practical need for the answer. Without that confusion ensues. Or, even worse, a false understanding gets locked in and starts to proliferate, sustaining the memetic chain reaction.
>Imagine Europe and Russia aligned, such that Schengen stretched from The Hague to Anadyr.
>Russia and Europe getting along would be great for the world.

Russia has _no_ interest in getting along with anybody else in the world and seek to dominate. When their insidious plans started to fail in Ukraine they resorted to force.

Why on earth would European counties _ever_ align with such a despotic collection of peoples? They're completely unable to form even a semi-functioning democracy for any period of time and soon descend into despotism the moment you take your eye off them for 2 minutes. Hard lessons are being re-learned in European capitals after our failure to deter the laughably ambitious megalomania of current Russian leaders.

Now Ukraine and Europe aligned, I get that. I believe they have the possibility to be an excellent political and economic partner in the EU.

Hard to tell.

Relatively easy to get rid of consultants and contractors. A lot harder to get rid of permanent staff even if they don't perform well. This means you may need 2-3x the headcount in comparison.

You save some. You lose some.
IME it almost always makes sense to wrap system APIs with your own wrapper which 'massages' the low level APIs into a (usually) much smaller API that's specialized for your use case. Gives you more wiggle room to experiment and optimize without having to rewrite large parts of your higher level code.
I think this is one of those options you use after some of your airfields have been rendered inoperable. Then you transition the remaining personnel to your highways with a stack of containers from a random storage location.

Again though, you have not answered the question.

I am not particularly opposed to a paper only process for the tiny number of people who have some legitimate reason they cannot use the main process. But that isn't what is demanded so why should we go beyond the bare minimum to allow those users access?

Very informative summary. A stupid question follows though, so request your patience. Did Michael Ventris really ask the question 'what if Linear B encoded some form of Greek'? Didn't Alice Kober already ask and answer this question, without seeming to do so. The fact that the underlying language was an inflected one and that it seemed to have singular, dual and plural forms for nouns etc - wasn't that enough? Was it academic carefulness that prevented Kober from proclaiming it was ancient Greek?
Yeah, but the problem specifically with GL is that it is almost unpredictable what actually happens at 'draw time', because small GL state changes can be amplified into big GPU state changs.

FWIW, I just needed to install the default nvim-lspconfig plugin (it's provided by the Neovim maintainers, and it doesn't do anything besides provide default LSP server configs for a lot of languages to the builtin Neovim LSP client), paste in the keybinds recommended by the README, and call lspconfig.rust_analyzer.setup in init.lua. Configures itself to start whenever rust_analyzer is in PATH. Seems to work well enough! I don't think it's missing any functionality.
"reached" vs "colonized". We ourselves reached the moon and will soon reach Mars, but we have no intention of leaving more than a couple of buildings in Antarctica, or deep in the oceans.

Brian Kernighan's book, "Unix: A History and a Memoir" paints a compelling picture of just how open-ended research at Bell Labs can be.

I totally agree that copy-pasting examples from random websites is a bad idea, because there is a very high likelihood that those examples use it wrong.

Regarding the CMake documentation, though, I have been relying on it forever (that's pretty much how I learned CMake), and I personally find it pretty good. That is where I believe there may be some kind of cultural change: I am fine reading the manual (`$ man <command>`) and RFCs and documentation like the CMake one. It feels like "the modern way" is to find an example that does what you need and mimic it (hence the success of stuff like Copilot).

I just feel like my way is more powerful: I can both leverage official documentation (and RFCs, etc) and examples, and I can actually use them together (e.g. read the example, see new stuff there, and go read the official docs about those new things). IMHO, only being able to rely on examples that do almost exactly what one needs is a bit of a loss; people should learn to read actual manuals.

I’m sure Finland’s current F/A-18s also need tons of support infrastructure if you go by ~the book~a google search. That hasn’t stopped us from developing and drilling the capacity to routinely operate them from these highway bases with much lighter logistics if need be. As stated in the article, the RAF is coming to Finland to learn and conduct tests. And because we’re in the process of replacing the Hornets with (non-B) F-35s, the experiments will benefit us as well.

Maybe tangential.

I learned English specifically to read electronic programming manuals and references (mostly txt’s and ng’s, infinite respect to Ralf Brown and co). My school only taught German, so I just took a thick dictionary and started translating, word by word, all the files I had. Here I am now, never learned it at any official institution. Discovered most rules and idioms naturally much later and only maybe 10 years ago began to understand songs and speech in general (youtube helped immensely).

Was it worth it?

The current WebGPU spec is basically the common feature subset across desktop and mobile GPUs, and what of those hardware features are actually exposed by D3D12, Metal and Vulkan. If something is missing then it's most likely the fault of some random mobile GPU.

Such missing features might be added later via optional extensions, but the focus was to get the thing out of the door first.
In essence, every social media platform leads to political echo-chambers in the long run. People build their own social networks consisting of people they know personally or admire, this easily leads to being surrounded with people that share the same political bias as you.

I don't believe that healthy political discourse is even possible on social media in the first place. Especially not if the political posters are anonymous.

The advantage with Fediverse and Lemmy in particular, is the fact that creating multiple accounts on left-wing/right-wing/neutral instances is pretty easy. You can add all your Lemmy accounts to a (web) app like vger.app and voila you can now join every political discussion on Lemmy in an almost seemless experience.

Political control is thus harder in the fediverse than on centralized platforms like reddit or Twitter. But even if the platform managed to discourage political segregation, the people will still look for every possible to segregate themselves.
