> Seeing a former coworker use Magit in Emacs is what got me to look into the Vim version What you should have done is use magit and looked into the emacs version of vim: https://github.com/emacs-evil/evil

> I think that's why VSCode has gained so much traction. For coding it's got easily 90% of the same features as both vim and Emacs Is that a joke? How can you possibly know this if you haven't used emacs for a start. Do yo

Yes, emacs GUI is more fit for purpose. If you use a terminal emulator you have to choose one or the other (assuming you even can) while emacs allows you to mix and match at will, even within the same file. I fully expect nobody will try em

I've done exactly the same thing with and without a lifting routine. When I didn't lift I was skinny with abs, now I'm muscly with abs.

One way is to use emacs and use evil-mode for vi behaviour. I use proportional fonts for a few things in emacs. It's really nice.

> The entire goal is to look busy, so people create work and don't accomplish a whole lot. That's been my experience working for a large financial company. Except the part about 10 hour days. That wasn't expected.

Yeah, you're probably right. We've used soap for centuries and it works very well.

Unfortunately not. The behaviour at the poles suggests that the whole thing is merely a hack.

Hand sanitisers in offices etc. should be outlawed. There's simply no reason for their existence and using them probably weakens your immune system anyway. They are useful for situations like camping but that is all.

There is also ledger which already has an emacs mode. I'm not sure what the advantages of hledger are.

Life expectancy has increased mostly thanks to modern medicine and in particular drastically reducing infant mortality. Keeping food in the fridge at all times has no effect other than reducing your enjoyment of the food and making it less

Yet somehow people survived for a very long time without refrigeration. In fact, we evolved to live without it, so those bacteria are probably good for us if anything. Personally I don't even like to eat cold food as it diminishes the

Why does it need to be hot? I eat room temperature food for lunch (not cold. I don't understand why people put their lunch in a fridge).

I grew up in the UK and we just called them "pants". Pants are far superior to boxer shorts but totally unfashionable for some reason. Now people wear "boxer briefs" which are like more fashionable pants that look a bit

I read the introduction to this and thoroughly disagree with it on multiple points. I'm someone who used to be obese but I've been in excellent shape (six pack etc) for more than eight years now. For a start, you should not be aim

When I started to cook I actually gained a huge amount of weight. I've no idea what you mean by being hard to get high calorie numbers. It's as easy as any other way: you eat too much food. It was only when I actually learnt what

Who cares? It looks all flat and fashionable which is what you really care about.

Very true. And the most mind blowing thing? CLOS is implemented in Lisp itself using macros. So as a Lisp user, you are able to extend the language to include the best implementation of any particular paradigm that exists.

Who said anything about energy usage. People don't care about their energy usage, they only care about what they get from it. Every time we make something more efficient we don't save energy, people just take more.

I have seen changesets for Atom before that include something like "make typing faster and more responsive".

In French it's called compote de pommes which I would say is correct. It's a compote, not a sauce. The runny stuff is a sauce. Salad really just means adding salt to it. In Italy they don't use a sauce as such, but rather j

It's nice to see that people still remember OiNK and what.cd. Of course, I know I can't be the only one who remembers, but I've never met someone in real life who does. Both shut down thanks to corruption in British and Frenc

No it doesn't. You might think it does but you've never made a sausage. The tube shape comes from the natural casing used. But you can make sausage into any shape you want and it's still sausage.

by cup-of-tea 8y ago
I don't think so. If you remove salt or sauce from salad then it's just cut up vegetables. And a sauce without salt won't be very popular too say the least.

No, I can't imagine any other version of history because salt is the entire point of sausage. Prior to refrigeration it was the only way to preserve meat. Grinding meat might have been done if it was to be eaten immediately but otherwi

by cup-of-tea 8y ago
So are you actually claiming that ground meat is sausage or that anyone would think it's a sausage upon cooking and tasting it, regardless of how it looks?

> if you remove the salt from one, it becomes crumbly and dry If you remove the salt it is not a sausage. The word sausage comes from Latin salsus meaning "salted". Salad and sauce also come from this root (more obviously in

I was blown away by two very similar things. The first was microfilm in my local library. The second was putting the needle on a record and hearing the music without the amplifier being on. In both cases it's just so obvious how it wor

This reminded me of a thought I had the other day. I was watching a documentary with a terminally ill person and they had a small set of plastic drawers on their dresser. It was ghastly. Then I realised just how much more plastic is going t
