It's really hard for me to understand how you can so clearly understand how unethical all this is, and still choose to participate. You frame it as not having a choice, because there's no Wagyu/organic/"happy"

You've not actually answered the relevant question: Why care about species, but not about individual suffering? There is no sensible answer, because your emotional attachment to the consumption of dead animals, and the very understanda

I think their point is that a species cannot suffer, only individuals can. Under that consideration, it seems downright hilarious to keep individuals perpetually suffering just to keep a species that didn't occur naturally anyway alive

Perchance they will not need us for sustenance, and still breed, imprison and kill us, because "hmmm, human bacon". There'll probably also be some weirdos campaigning the idea of not harming humans unnecessarily, but that&#x2

In that very definition, it is rape. Look at any thread on any social media platform featuring bestiality, esp. regarding dogs or cats. The vast majority of people will explicitly use the word rape, and also call for all kinds of horrible p

To me, one thing missing from most popular web languages is the single best part of Rust: A well-defined handling of the non-happy path. I'm talking about things like exhaustive "switches", built-in, ENFORCED handling of &quo

If you've played any open world game, it's pretty much the same, just a little more formulaic. Characters, story, world are all incredibly basic and predictable. You'll stop finding truly new things after a few hours, making

I was SHOCKED reading BOTW reviews. So, so, sooooo many of it's supposed "strengths" had been touted as failings of other open world games. Like the big but empty world, or the grindiness, or the "sameness" of the d

Do you exclusively work on remote servers? I love tmux, but I have the issue that I also use it locally, and to my knowledge, you can't have local and remote sessions in one tmux daemon. So I either have to open tmux in tmux, or open i

We elect the people with the nukes (in theory). Don't remember electing OpenAI. Dito for the sewage/water system or other critical infrastructure. Not saying OpenAI needs to be elected or not, just expanding on what (I think) they

Have you stopped using Vim keybindings entirely? That seems far more masochistic to me. Personally, most vim emulations in most editors are "good enough", so I generally use Intellij (Java) or VSCode (everything else) with Vim mod

To me, it seems more like favoring composition of small parts over inheritance of everything. That's what CSS is, a HUGE inheritance graph, just even more convoluted, because absolutely every "class" is part of the same graph

To possibly answer your question, think about conveniences that every editor gives you: Editing per (UFT8) character, instead of code points, or bytes or even bits. Would that make you less efficient? I'm sure it would. Conversely, say

by LinXitoW 4y ago
I think one good analogy to why vim is great is to examine other tools everyone already uses. Imagine instead of pressing backspace to delete a character, you would have to delete the individual bits that make up the character. A character

Categorically? Absolutely! But as humans we can't read every study for every ingredient. We have to use heuristics to guesstimate a healthy diet. Reducing (not eliminating) processed foods is a decent one. Same goes for including prote

Well, carbon sequestration, for example. Or habitat restoration. Or more suburbs, or whatever. It's not just land use, it's every single vector of comparison, like water use, energy use, human labor (ab)use, habitat destruction, e

The beauty of the whichkey/space menu is that you can both learn shortcuts AND find new ones (they're grouped by domain) AND find old shortcuts you rarely use. It's the antidote to most sophisticated editors worst problem, th

Using a VPN is a HUGE barrier for the general public, esp. considering that TikToks biggest selling point is quick and easy tailored videos. Having to pay for a VPN and activating it just to watch a few TikToks means barely any non-tech peo

Damn do I with there was Rust with GC. Rust has so many wonderful high level features I'm missing even in "hip" languages (compare error handling with Kotlin), but I don't really care that much about the systems programm

I mean, you could just search for the method called, if you're REAAALLLLLYYY averse to using any IDE or editor of the last 10 years. Which would be an odd choice to base language decisions on.

Keep in mind, you can use Kotlin in any JDK8 project and instantly get all those features. What you're proposing requires upgrading to a new JDK.

While I also love many things about Kotlin, the one thing that always sticks out like a sour thumb is error handling. While Javas checked exceptions had a lot of problems, at least there was a way to declare the output (errors are ouput) of

I'm sure you're aware it exists, but the Vim plugin for IntelliJ is actually good enough, imho. Might be worth a try.

Considering that many people willingly work with languages like Python and JavaScript, which make ANY IDE/Editors job of completion horribly difficult, the worst case is you end up with an editing experience on par with other languages

It's not just the tooling. Having tried to work with Python in Intellij, the lack of typing means you literally have to GUESS what any non-primitive object can do. It might also be an unhappy coincidence, but the library I was playing

You absolutely can, the DRM part of Steam is optional choice by the developer. It can just be a Game Downloader. You can even sell codes in your own store, WITHOUT STEAM GETTING MONEY. That's incredibly generous. I don't understan

I remember that. While it might not have been clear at the time, Valve definitely made Steam a value add. Friends lists, cloud saves, etc. I think we can get a clearer picture if we compare it to Epics launch: No cloud saves at all, shoddy

You're talking about features that were all developed extra (aka they weren't gated), all of them using some kind of AI. And none of which are even close to necessary. The problem with selling convenience in F2P games is that the
