It is objectively bad based on value, and it’s objectively bad on the equality of the care.

US healthcare is great if you’re in the top 50% of earners who have employer-sponsored healthcare and you can keep your job while you go through major care events. People like knowledge workers tend to fit this bill. Doesn’t hurt that they aren’t messing up their back doing construction or something.

Obviously the USA has a ton of excellent care available including some of the top technology, doctors, and hospitals in the world.

It’s not so great if you’re one of the double digit millions of people who have no health insurance at all. It’s not so great if you can’t afford anything except the yearly check-up.

Did you know that over 40% or people who get cancer in America lose their life savings within two years?

It’s very common for CDN URLs to be public, but to be signed and only work for a limited amount of time. This is because it’s very hard to scale authorisation to edge CDN scale while keeping the performance benefits. This is a security tradeoff, sure, but a very common one.

I use both in vim - if the selection is tricky use v or V to define the selection first, but most of the time "verb object" makes sense to me since that's how english works (tho could see it being unintuitive for non-SVO languages).

Some people like working in an office to escape home distractions.

Open plan offices tend to be productivity-destroying for technical work that requires concentration. I assume they were largely adopted to save money, as a status indicator vs. managers with private offices, for surveillance, and for appearance.

The only open plan approach that I have seen work is a library where noise is forbidden and private work carrels are provided.
This article is mostly about macro systems. Those are usually troublesome. But they are independent of run-time safety issues.

Macros tend to be hard to read. LISP macros and C++ templates are the usual bad examples. As the article points out, Rust procedural macros are not all that great. They do, though, power Rust's "derive" facility and the serialize/deserialize functions. Those have a simple user interface which hides the internal complexity.

Yep 4am—1pm was my sleep schedule when I was in high school outside of school. During school it was 1am—5am during the winter due to sports conditioning and 1am-6:00am spring/fall. That was the earliest I could push my bedtime and still fall asleep.

I used to fall asleep standing in the shower. Do not miss it in the slightest. Every day is a good day to not be in high school.

I remember thinking roughly the same thing when I was a regular vim user. This was a long time ago now, so I forget the details, but from memory I used to use visual mode quite a lot, meaning I'd get to use the motion commands to select the region of interest first and then choose the operation to perform on it.

The typical vim model is a bit weird, but once I got practised with it it was actually quite surprising how much complicated stuff I could do purely by sight. But while the muscle memory aspect got me further than I'd have expected, it did only get me so far. Selecting the region first always seemed like it'd be the better way in general, being no worse when your fingers can do it automatically, while being better in the case where you're having to think about what you're doing.
Learning Vim early on had a high return on investment for this reason. Years later, I'm still able to benefit from the same muscle memory in modern tools, e.g. Obsidian.

It should be said, though, that most implementations are simplified rewrites of Vim's core functionality. When you use a tool to achieve a sense of "flow", it can be grating for the editor to behave in subtly different ways from expectation, or discover an important feature does not work at all. Also, there tends to be limited, if any, support for Vim plugins.

In the modern era of Vim and NeoVim, it's possible for such tools to use the real version via network protocol, but integration is easier said than done. So far it's mostly been Vim GUI wrappers that leverage the capability rather than independent editors.

I still use Vim mode where I can even if it's a shadow of the real Vim experience. It makes life easier to use the same muscle memory on every shell, editor, and command-line, and not have to worry about learning every new app's idiosyncracies.
Fair point. I was reacting to the Smithsonian article going like "preferred food source of these early humans: woolly mammoth protein." and how that tracks with other diet talk elsewhere. Hunting higher-fat meats doesn't indicate a preference for protein.

> There's a Vim mode in every single mainstream code editor out there.

And they’re always frustratingly incomplete and/or buggy. Some motions will be unimplemented, or will behave incorrectly, especially with regards to boundaries around whitespace inclusion or exclusion in a motion. Things you added to Vim and got used to are unavailable, and so your ysa") to put parentheses around the string your cursor is on just doesn’t work. (Lack of vim-surround definitely gets me frequently.)

In VS Code, it maintains its own undo stack, and the interactions between the two undo stacks are terrible and terribly frustrating—yet doing without might be even worse, because they behave very differently.

And too often in a browser context, ^W will close your tab, losing data, rather then being inhibited and erasing the last word, as it should. That one is practically unforgivable in a Vim mode, yet common. That, more than anything else, will make me avoid a Vim mode.
That was true, I believe though that they also didn’t have to do as much certification, but were also often better pedigreed (e.g. the math teacher may not have done a teacher prep program or been certified, but held a masters degree in math from a prestigious university)
> Like, what difference does it make anyway if the kid can or cannot text the parent? Not like the parent can alter the situation in any way.

Yea this is what I don’t get. How is a cell phone actually going to help when there’s a school shooter? I guess you can throw the phone at his head. There’s pretty much no reason a kid needs a phone in school. If the parent needs to get in touch with him they can call the office like in the 70s, 80s, 90s, and 2000s.
It's true that, as a pre-1.0 language, choosing Zig means taking on the implementation burden of changing code to keep up with language changes. But it's already being used in production in a surprising number of places.

Wanting to wait until 1.0 to get started is a respectable choice. I prefer to get a head start, compile against master every few weeks, and change what needs changing.

Abstracting away from the problems with supports and standards and encodings which will invariably evolve, preserving information in time requires error correction, which in turn requires redundancy of some kind.
Agree that Vim is a language to talk to your computer, but it's not necessarily efficient. Vim is famously an imperative editor: You have to tell Vim the sequence of steps to perform. Clicking your mouse on a position on the screen is declarative: You declare you want the cursor here. With Vim you have to imperatively walk the cursor to where you want to go, or god forbid use something like easymotion.

By this I assume you mean “dangle an Arduino off the side”. Other than PI, what PC actually drives its own GPIO?
To achieve something similar in vim one could use visual selection first and then run the verb on it. Helps with spotting mistakes or just tweaking selections in general. It is a tad bit tedious but a small bonus is `gv` which invokes the previous visual selection at a later point. That said selecting first isn't perfect because large selections often move the viewport around especially on small screens and that's really annoying but ahh that's life, always with the compromises.

These costs would depend on the nature of the target, the nature of the country you live in and the requirements of the murder.

High profile, protected target? You probably couldn't find a random low-life to do it, much less successfully. And no matter what jurisdiction you want to commit the murder in, it will be more expensive than if your target was a random average joe, or jane.

Country is a place where the rule of law and legal enforcement are strongly applied and taken seriously? It will become harder and more expensive. Criminals are often stupid, but even stupid criminals in countries that take legal matters seriously are rarely freewheeling about contract murder that they actually mean to commit. The pool of willing potential killers would be smaller in such countries.

And finally, the nature of the murder: Need to kill someone in a way that looks like suicide or accident? That won't be something you hire a low-life to do on the cheap.

On the other hand, if you just need someone with modest to poor protection dead and you live in a country with weak legal mechanisms, then the situation becomes as favorable as you could want given your murderous needs. Assuming you have the right connections, a random gangbanger or would-be gangbanger on a motorbike can do the job for very cheap indeed. In the country I live in this is common and the people (often just teenagers) paid to do it will go for broke if offered as little as a couple grand or sometimes much less.
Long ago, I learned video editing on a CMX tape based system. The key bindings on that system remain in place in pretty much every video application today. (Spacebar => play/pause, j/k/l => reverse/stop/forward, i/o => in/out) Sometimes, keybindings just make sense and for them to not do it definitely as you say feels disturbing. For new apps that don't, it's like did you live under a rock in a cave and never see any other preceding program that you are making, or do you honestly think yours is better. I can assure, they aren't.
This is neat work, but I also love the (presumably intentional?) backronym of BLT.

That's like telling some small child they are lesser because they can't walk because they're still learning to crawl. The systems that vim worked on didn't even know what a mouse was.
Yeah I'm currently using Gemini 2 Flash (exp) free quota for a premium hosted model, it's a surprisingly great model, IMO Google has caught up with the leaders with their latest experimental models. I've also tested Nova's models, which are pretty high quality and exception value (lite/micro) for their performance.

Also worth shouting out you can get Meta's latest llama-3.3:70b (comparable to llama3.1:405b but must faster and cheaper) within GroqCloud's free quotas running at an impressive 276 tok/s.

"moving your hand back and forth between the mouse and the keyboard gets very tiring, pull you out of the zone and just takes up precious time "

This is a really good point. There is little advantage to taking more time ("working more") to produce the same output. (Not to mention other wasted time such as commute time.)

Unfortunately some managers seem willing to accept a productivity loss if it allows them to feel more important.
Was that based on anything? An hour of sleep is a big benefit. You’ll feel a big difference if you give yourself six instead of five hours of sleep, or seven instead of six. Sleeping too late in the day isn’t as high quality; sleep until 7am still is for most people. Students stay up late, but many aren’t regularly staying up past 12. Plus, we do have to compromise with teachers who’d like to have dinner.
Right, but there's nothing new in that statement. I've been hearing that we're running out of data for training AIs for two years at least.
I love this take. I was a die-hard Vim/Neovim zealot... but these days I absolutely love the ecosystem of tools that support normal mode. For so long hand-cramping emacs keybindings were sort-of-standard-in-a-few-places.

If you're not convinced vimming is the best way to interact with your editor, you probably haven't seen a really proficient vimmer.
This was kinda cool once I got it working! It reminds me of the terminal learn to type games.

I made an app to help learn chords and keys too: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/bloopkeys/id6689494178

Mine doesn't require MIDI (although it supports MIDI out as an option), but I can see why you went with that for yours.

Some notes/thoughts:
1. It didn't work on my iPhone (either with Firefox or Safari).
2. A helpful sentence or two would be useful. For example, it wasn't obvious that what you were looking for was midi in and not midi out.
3. Ignore the folks on here talking about monetization (it won't compete with something like Melodics). You made a fun little thing and that's great.

That's been my experience as well. I tried a few times to make my regular vim bindings + plugins to work in Rider and there's always that last 5% that seems to not work quite the way you'd expect, even for supported plugins. Bummer.
I'm completely the opposite here. I'm easily 2x more productive at home than in an office simply because of the lack of distractions. Honestly, I've started asking my spouse to start occasionally interrupting me so I remember to take a break occasionally and drink water.

I think the quality of wfh really depends on the person and if they have enough integrity with their obligations to begin with. Sure it would be simple to get away with barely doing anything, but the people who do this are probably not who you would want to hire anyway.

You can't program safely in an unsafe language. You can program correctly so nothing bad happens, but it's still unsafe code. Just like a tightrope walk between two buildings without a safety net is unsafe even if you're very good at it and never fall down.

A programming language has multiple safety modes and is safe by default could be used as a tool for teaching a range of concepts.
You know a lot of device drivers that store and process arbitrary data?
If you really want to try it, you can use a virtual MIDI keyboard. I made one (BloopKeys for iPhone) but there are others around.
I buy "high end" eggs not because they're better for me, but because there were fewer or less toxic pesticides put into the environment to produce feed for it, and there's less chance the chicken spent its entire life in a cage so small it can barely move (or on the floor of a barn so packed that, again, it can barely move.)

That's the straw-man people who attack organic food buyers with. "You silly libtard, buying organics because you think it's better for you!"

Nope. It's only partially about my health. In the case of a lot of organic produce, it's more about my not wanting to support industry growers whose field workers are exposed to incredible levels of pesticides.

There are exceptions. Canadian grain for example, which farmers drench in pesticides using them as a drying agent to reduce spoilage rates. They take advantage of reduced regulations around pesticide residue that was pushed through by lobbyists hired by Canadian grain producers.

So, I will not buy any grain based products that aren't organic.

I also won't buy non-organic spices or teas. Turns out that a lot of non-organic spices - like cinnamon - have very high levels of lead, but the organic versions have much less, or none: https://www.consumerreports.org/health/food-contaminants/hig...

What is particularly scary: a producer who sells in bulk targeting the restaurant industry (Badia) was one of the higher levels tested.

Anything made with central/south american fruit puree? Organic only. Why? Producers used to spike the weight of their shipments with lead in the bottom of the containers. The lead would then go through the processing machinery. Result? Huge numbers of latino kids getting extreme lead poisoning.

I won't buy any central/south american produced candy period, because manufacturers like to print the labels with lead-containing inks among other problems, and they repeatedly test high for lead, have for decades, because those governments don't care or are being bribed: https://www.nmhealth.org/publication/view/help/2154/
