Oh, vim's keybindings are fine. But vim is missing LSP, completion, file pickers / fuzzy finding, surround operations, easymotion jumps, and displaying buffers in the tab line. Those need to be added with plugins. That's what

> And the way out is the same as with vim - just pick someone else who has done it I think the crucial thing here is that most people don't do it, because it works out of the box. You can change any of the keybindings and any of

> However, DDD has a strong object-oriented core The original 2003 DDD book is very 2003 in that it is mired in object orientation to the point of frequently referencing object databases¹ as a state-of-the-art storage layer. However, t

I think the "generic core" is often a SQL database or other such generic storage/analytics layer, while the "functional core" is the business logic that operates on the specific domain objects.

There's nothing procedural about binding return values to variables, so long as you aren't mutating them. Every functional language lets you do that. That's `let ... in` in Haskell.

Running a website that distributes information is not the same as selling drugs. That's why free speech is a right and free drugs are not. And, yes, there are some types of speech (libel, for instance) that merit special scrutiny. A we

Real-time GCs can only guarantee a certain number of deallocations per second. Even with a very well-designed GC, there's no free lunch. A system which manages its memory explicitly will not need to risk overloading its GC.

Human lives often depend on processes that can afford to be quite slow. You can have a real time system requiring only sub-hour latency; the "realness" of a real-time deadline is quite distinct from the duration of that deadline.

I thought protobuf didn't expose any canonical binary encoding. Who's been using protobuf as a cryptographic protocol primitive?

Are math and physics objectively provable? Hollywood celebrity Terrence Howard infamously thinks that 1×1=2. He's a math crackpot—someone with an irrational amateur theory about math or physics. Another famous example is the Time Cub

Interesting example! What role would you say clothing and housing play in "objective" survival? Humans can survive in space, given a space suit or capsule, and a small contingent of humans live in Antarctica by way of warm clothes

How do you know they aren't defocused, relative to other comparable private schools? Anyway, when people say screens affect focus, they don't mean that it's an inherent property of LCD displays. They mean the things people do

That it's being framed as "raising expectations" at all is very silly to me. "Raising expectations" costs nothing and requires no external support, yet we see no success stories about schools which raised expectatio

If you draw your test sample from private schools and $500/month apps, your conclusions are going to be pretty skewed.

Scaling to a lot of reads is relatively easy, but you get into weird architectural territory once you hit a certain volume of writes. Anything involving monitoring or real-time event analysis can get hairy. That's when stuff like kafka

I don't know. It's a classic LLM-ism. "Traumatically over-X" is probably a common enough phrase. The prmpt says, "I don't know what labs are doing to these poor LLMs during RL," so the model connects that

"Demonstrated ability or achievement" is not highly hereditable. The word "demonstrated" should make that obvious. If I learn to play guitar and then have a kid, that kid will not know how to play guitar. Aptitudes may b
