   How common are the keybindings used in existing editors? I must admit I haven't ever really noticed the hotkeys/keybindings in editors - until I started using Vim bindings instead. There's likely a large crossover between peo

   I think it's rarely a productivity bottleneck, but that doesn't mean that Vim keybindings and navigation aren't superior in the vast majority of cases to what most people are doing - which is scrolling, mousing about, etc. Vi

   That's what financial hedging and the like do - users and producers can sell power at guaranteed prices in exchange for missing out on price volatility. Ultimately, it's probably fairest that the wholsesale power market works the

   Weight is not that important for highway driving especially, where the vast majority of resistance comes from air and not rolling resistance. It’s mostly bad for ICE stop and go, where you have to get the whole car moving again from a dead

   Travelling a few thousand km is probably harder than just running a wire around the moon ;)

   What’s wrong with operating half the day? I guess it’s space, so it’s worth a lot of effort, but I’d think if they can avoid RTGs and just use solar they would.

   I’m not sure any such study exists for any editors, so it’s hard to argue this. However, anecdotally, Vim’s basic navigation (hjkl) and a few common shortcuts (delete entire line dd, new line and type o, change word ciw) are so useful it’s

   I guess vim keybinds are so ubiquitous it’s probably more valuable to stick with them. If you are truly offended by a particular choice, you can always change them.

   Economically speaking, why bother producing the steel in Australia? The vast majority of it is mined nowhere near the normal population centres, so there’s not really any convenience in refining it on site. By the time you’ve gotten it to a

    I guess the main concern with its use as a learning tool is what happens if it's wrong? It might be helpful for boilerplate when you already know what you want, but if you don't even know that it'll blow up in your face when

    And this is why rent control is bad for society - very beneficial for those who have it, prevents anyone else from finding cheap land nearby (because the remaining non-controlled housing is in higher demand :/)

    Seems like its going to be a bit late - what better way to promote your competition than acknowledging it and banning it? Just streisanded himself.

    But nuclear is a terrible complement to intermittent power sources. Nuclear wants to run 24/7 - not intermittently. IMO, gas is going to be around for quite a while as a peaker for renewables - and the more renewables come online, the

    I'm not sure I agree with that assessment. Many environmentalists (those primarily concerned with global warming) are all for nuclear, but realistically nuclear does not play very well with renewables (nuclear wants 100% output all the

    I'm doubtful - There's a pretty big difference between writing a basic function and even a small program, and that's all I've seen out of these kinds of AIs thus far, and it still gets those wrong regularly because it do

    Right - but in this case the steel box is 1000 ton and going straight through the wall, so it's not going to be stopping - in this case you want the steel box to protect the eggs, rather than splattering them by using a cardboard box (

    I'd imagine there's a huge problem in that FTX did not declare bankruptcy until the vast majority of their liquid assets had been removed by the bank run. If they had declared bankruptcy before the run, most people might have gott

    Seems like there'd be a big difference between a train with a thousand tons of carriages pushing it along (ie. Not Going To Stop) and a car that will stop, necessitating a crumple zone to drag that stop over the longest possible period

    I don't believe that at all. I can believe an initial loss of some amount of money, but there's no way everyone completely ignored it for years . Like, how hard do you have to try to lose 8 Billion dollars and not know how? I&#x2

    That seems very large - I can’t imagine plain farm owners could reach that kind of wind capacity, are you sure that’s accurate?

    I feel like the bigger issue would be lack of feedback, since presumably an inverter can maintain perfect frequency under any load right up until it can supply Lo more power; I suppose voltage measurement might become more relevant than fre

    The phone battery is bigger. For perspective, an 18650 battery is substantially bigger than a AA, but the best they can do is ~3500mAh. Iirc AA lithium batteries are barely more dense than alkaline or nickel, and are awkwardly high voltage

    You’d need a buck converter for discharging the battery, and they aren’t much better than NiMH batteries at it. So it’s cheaper to just buy Eneloops if you want AA/AAA batteries

    The issue is we were already down to 3 different plugs - micro-usb, usb-c and lightning. Most android phones are already usb-c, so it's a pretty blatantly targeted measure. I'm mostly concerned about it locking out the development

    This isn't really accurate. Homeowners get the enormous PPOR CGT exemption, which means they pay no capital gains on their primary home when they sell - This can be a massive amount of money in an up market (the past two decades, espec

    Is that true? My understanding is lower hoods roll pedestrians over, whereas tall, solid hoods basically bring them to full speed immediately, doing a bunch of damage in the process.
