Agree with you on the cultural events, but the NYC subway is definitely dirty compared to the systems of the two other cities I've lived in (Toronto and London).

I was mostly in LIC and Manhattan though. Maybe it's not so dirty in the other boroughs?

> today he finally issued a public statement condemning the war

Would you issue such a statement in his position? Think carefully. If you don't, you will probably have twitter brigades trying to smear your name. If you do, your family back home might be at risk, and you will probably never be able to visit them again.

Personally, I cannot in good faith demand anyone condemn the war, if to do so, they are putting family and friends freedoms at risk.

>Do we want, at a time when Russia is considering the UK as an enemy, to be providing all our personal details to a server in Moscow?

(answering to the OP) Yes, there is nothing the Russians can do with my data that my government hasn't done.

>Depends how good the search is. Google doesn’t seem to want to provide me proper results anymore, even very basic image search tasks on google now net you only about 20 results all of which are wrong or useless. Yandex image search actually works.

Same, google is either doing this on purpose to then launch the "saving" LLM or they're just forgetting how to do it, google images is unusable and when it is everything is a .webp. And google search is a pay to win, you type "official python documentation" and the whole first page is full of geekforgeeks and other sponsored websited, and don't even get me started on facts/news where it just shamelessly turns into a propaganda machine.

Yandex is at least gives you 5 or 6 good results before it starts showing things in Russian.
The SiteMap, which was invented by Google and designed to give information to crawlers, already includes last-updated info.

No need to invent a new system based on RSS/Atom, there is already an actually existing and in-use system based on SiteMap.

So, what you suggest is already happening -- or at least, the system is already there for it to happen. It's possible Google does not trust the last modified info given by site owners enough, or for other reasons does not use your suggested approach, I can't say.

I had a similar situation where I lost my brother very unexpectedly. I ended up having to run a password cracker on his windows account because nobody had a recovery email. Thankfully his windows credentials were not very strong and his gaming GPU was able to crack the password in a few days using a Linux livecd, and I was able to expand from there into his 1Password account. Like you, I realized that having a trusted second party with the keys to my digital kingdom would be a wise choice in case of a disaster.
In my experience, Nvim and Vim are similar enough that I don't have any trouble SSHing into any server with Vim and using it after using Nvim all day for development. So far Nvim has been a purely opt-in experience for me.

This is still “median rent” not “the lowest rent you can find.”

You can live in a prime location in Manhattan for about $1000 a month if you’re willing to live in a single room apartment with a shared bathroom and a kitchen that consists of a sink, mini fridge, and microwave.

There’s also the reality that people get roommates or otherwise share the cost of rent.

And you also don’t have to be in prime Manhattan to have a reasonable commuting distance. If you take the subway from The Bronx to Penn Station you can do it in 40 minutes. NYC also has the country’s best commuter rail situation meaning that a whole bunch of people take commuter rail from suburban locations like New Jersey and Long Island.

But the point is that Institutional Science and Meme Science can reach the same end through different routes: a claim is made, it is evaluated empirically, and a conclusion is finally drawn.

From what I remember, NeoVim drops vi compatibility mode.

Sounds like someone doesn't understand what the Linux Foundation does

The 3.4% to 3.2% "drop" was for the kernel

Plus, compare this to 2020 when the Kernel got 3.4% of spend[0], yet revenue was only $148 million

3.2% of $243 million is a lot more than 3.4% of $148 million ($~7.7m vs ~$5m)

They're spending 59.2% on "Project Support" - which later in this screed is correctly identified as "986 open source communities"

Linux is more than the kernel - anyone who thinks it's not does not understand Linux

> So it works as intended

It’s literally spelled out in the article that a spokesperson for the company said this is not as they intended.
We lived in midtown Manhattan for 5 years. To get to the interesting (non tourist trap) 'cultural events' usually took a subway, or for underserved areas, took taxi (via hail, and pay with Curb app) to a borough off Manhattan island. Return to midtown took Lyft/Uber. Commuting by car is an extraordinary waste of time with high opportunity cost unless you use a driver.

Yes, the mega events are at Lincoln Center, Broadway, the Met, but that's very much like saying cultural TV is only on ABC, NBC, CBS, and FOX.
They would but they didn't. It's not about intentions.
Unfortunately, the value to society is not the main factor in compensation. If the incentives were to be aligned that way, we'd live in a very different world.
Another consideration, when my dad passed we had his passwords but not his phone or tablet pins/patterns.

Both devices are encrypted, and the samsung I believe is set to wipe after a number of failed attempts. While there probably isn't anything on them, it's always been a pain to not know.

Depends on what is in that index. If it's full of noise and spam then its results won't be very useful. Garbage in - garbage out.
Maybe. I'm of two minds. Valuable things stand the test of time, they get retold and reused and remembered and kept alive. It's always been like that. On the other hand this could be construed as a defense of oral tradition above writing, but writing has had immense impact on our capabilities and technological progress historically, including the preservation of ancient texts. But I'm not sure we'd be so much better off if we had access to all the gossip news of the time of Plato. Not to mention that forgetting, retelling, rediscovering, discussing stuff anew allows for a kind of evolution and mutation that can regularize and robustify the knowledge.

So we need some preservation, but indiscriminate blind hoarding of all info isn't necessarily the best.
That's why I still keep vim updated on my mac system.

No, I'm saying that dumping a ton of rubbish outside someone's house is not something that a well adjusted person does regardless of whether someone tells them to do it.

But if you must - it's even less of a defense now, because in WW2 Germany there was a significant amount of social pressure to fall in line. In the modern day no-one cares if you just refuse, or get a different job.
> tons of hackers will want to contribute because it's cool

It's one thing to contribute a couple of PRs/patches, a very different thing to spend a large part of your free time on the project for years (which is what Bram did to make vim what it is).

These projects are no joke and a few hurray contributors not lasting more than a couple of months won't cut it.

The sample size is small enough that the correlation vs causation question still goes strong. You're arguing causation, the FDA argues correlation. Is it because they're taking the drugs, or because they're the type of person who would be taking those drugs and therefore have some kind of issue that needed help? It can be hard to know. Did they have these ideas or desires before taking the medication, or only after? If they are young, is it because of the meds, or because they're an angsty and hormonal teenager who has mental issues, or did the drugs exacerbate that?

It's easy to say "look at all these very public cases where this bad thing happened, and they all have this in common!", but that doesn't tip the needle for correlation vs causation at all imo.
> cheaply bought up state assets

In the west, we call that "privatization", and it happens pretty frequently, and it's common for the process to be technically open, but practically exclude all but a handful of buyers.

It's also common for those buyers to make a lot of money from the assets before returning them to the state 20 years later, unmaintained and debt laden.
Correct.

The "America bad" crowd is so eager to say they're all the same that they intentionally look away from any nuance.

There is a reasonable argument that, as a minor nobody, we should rather use services from hostile countries. It isn't feasible for Russia to to compel someone in an English-speaking country to do something unpleasant. That is a lot more than can be said for the local police or politicians. Russian corruption doesn't generally touch Western governments - the atmosphere is too hostile to it.
> Gig work is available to immigrants super fast as well. Go to any major city in Europe and see migrants and refugees making a living delivering food. Do you think they are dumb and choose the worst job they can get?

Frequently it's their only option, the only job the have access to, so in a way, you're right.

They're not dumb, just constrained.

I've known someone close who is affected their whole life. I'm talking extreme hoarding, cramming junk into any space available.

It led me to spend a lot of time considering what causes their behavior.

Not only do they hoard, but the process of hoarding also inflicts psychological damage against their close family.

I think it is a combination of self delusion and obsessive control.

Self delusion:
The hoarder tends to believe each item they have kept has value or will be valuable someday. Almost as if for each item kept, it is the equivalent of having an unclaimed lottery ticket that will win eventually. Now, try convincing someone to throw away a lottery ticket before the date of the draw.

The interesting part is the hoarder would not sell the item, even if it was found to be very valuable (most 99.9% is junk). It is about the items perceived value.

Strangely I've seen many instances of hoarders have something of real value only stashed amongst a heap of junk and not stored appropriately (damaging the item in the process through neglect over time)

Control:
This aspect is about controlling the situation and those around them. They are not interested in anyone else have a say in the matter.

There is a complete lack of empathy toward those affected by the consequences of hoarding (family etc)

The hoarders I've met tend to be very intelligent and manipulative (and verbally abusive) if they suspect someone is going to try impress change upon them. (A situation they perceive to not be in control)

I was surprised to see how high the NYC income tax is on top of the state income tax. 1099’s pay even more, I got ~47% on $75K. The federal, state, and city income tax is progressive so the effective tax rate is a bit lower.

Time will tell, but I think vim is likely to fade away with slow development pace. People are all sentimental right now, but we'll see how many of them will remain in a couple of years still committing to vim daily.

Looking at the commit history, vim was largely a one-man show, I'm a bit skeptical about that changing basically overnight.

What’s sad is when things don’t fail, they just perform adequately and so get the ax. If it cost the company $500k to make $600k, that’s a decent small business, but for a large multinational that is a rounding error and the people may be redeployed in search of some C level’s bonus.

> "cheaply bought up state assets'

If they were 'proper investors' they would cheaply buy up UK water companies, load them with debt, pay out 40 billion of dividends, and then enter talks with the government about insolvency.
Couple things to note here:

* As the numbers here show, the high end of Manhattan rentals is very, very high. ~10%[0] of listed rentals at the moment are >$10k/mo. >$100k rentals are not unheard of. Looks like the highest market rental right now is asking $175k/mo.

* ~50%[1] of Manhattan's rental stock is rent stabilized, meaning the rent adjustment rates are set by the city. These units rent for considerably less than market-rate rentals.

* For a variety of reasons, rent-stabilized units often stay in the informal housing market (i.e. not on real estate listing services), which AFAIK these reports do not measure.

* There are a variety of cultural factors here that are a bit unusual for the US, including:

- It's fairly normal here for people with 'good' jobs to have roommates into their 30s+

- The informal housing market here is massive (e.g. I've lived here for 10+ years and have very few friends who've ended up in market-rate rentals)

- Manhattan builds very little new housing (e.g. zero units approved last month)

- It's Manhattan, so there's a LOT of money floating around here.

So yes, Manhattan is getting more expensive, but these market-rate rental reports are not the entire story.

>And if you do need a manned platform, the deep sea oil industry now operates hundreds of them. It might be cheaper for scientists to simply piggy-back on those.

Not that much cheaper. At least in the US based oil companies I have worked with, the cost of sending even one person to an offshore platform can easily exceed 20k USD. Everyone on the platform has to have extensive safety training. Only a few training facilities are setup to do things like Helicopter Underwater Escape Training [1] so the cost is pretty high.
