   In my experience, direct words and direct action are much more effective than sensitive hand-holding. Your experience is different. I have no problem with that, and I encourage you to do what works best for you.

   What don't you get about 'in my experience'? I read lexicalsope as trying to control my speech, and to deny my own true experience.

   Tone policing and speech repression are what contribue to stigma. Are your feelings hurt because I won't phrase things in a way that pleases you? Too bad. Oversensitivity makes things worse, not better.

   I've had quite a bit of experience with therapy, and from my experience it is mostly a quack profession. In my experience mood stabilizers and therapists are a band-aid that is mostly about getting you hooked and dependent and complia

    I went to a forum the other day in Mtn View where HS kids talked about their experience and the pressures they felt. Takeaways include: talk to your kids, don't be a helicopter parent, don't expect that your kids will want what y

    Technical skills: vim, bash, postgresql, git, redis, ansible, docker But the most important skills: domain expertise, marketing, being able to go independent. Most future-proof: be the one who hires, not the one who is hired.

    I agree. Paper is wonderful and this new whiteboard app looks fantastic. IMHO the work of 53 is as good as it gets. Yeah the video seems overblown - but try the products they are great.

    True that Neovim won't be preinstalled, but for ops all I need is basic editing and the ability to leverage my vim muscle-memory.

    Emacs is great and I know lots of people who love evil mode. I prefer vim because it comes pre-installed - good for ops. Many of my tools have embedded Lua, so it's great that I can exercise my Lua skills with Neovim. None of my othe

    Yeah but - I like Neovim's msgpack-api, and the built-in terminal emulation. On the Neovim roadmap: attach/detach from a background session, multiple screens with different sizes.

    I'm looking forward to the combination of Tmux and Neovim. Both (will) support detached/shared sessions, both are scriptable/configurable, both can be driven by a remote process. I believe with Tmux and Neovim you could put

    I've worked EMS in lots of urban and rural areas. Have never experienced conflict between EMS and LE. Would not want provide EMS without Police involvement - the two roles go hand-in-hand.
