I think I missed part of the story. Is there something wrong with Vim 9? Is it heavily LLM-driven now? That's the only hint I could find on the Vim Classic site.

I love Unicomp and fully support their goal of keeping these switches alive, but I had a similar experience. The controller on the keyboard died after about a year. Meanwhile all of my 30+ year old IBM Model M's continue to work flawle

Progress! When I was in school we weren't allowed to leave class OR have a water bottle. If you had food... good luck, that was like the worst school crime for some reason.

Good. I'm sure this is a controversial take in our brave new world, but not everything has to be aimed at the lowest common denominator. It's refreshing to have something that isn't dumbed down for "the average user&quot

I'm not sure this is the type of depression being talked about here. It's unfortunate that we have conflated periods of being sad / down with clinical depression. I have no doubt that reading a book or cleaning the kitchen or

I use menus all the time... I much prefer text to inscrutable icons.

That may not be because they like it but because they're required to use it. The teachers in my area, at least, are mandated to use AI themselves and integrate it into their curriculum.

It also doesn't help when we have programs like Accelerated Reader. The original goal of the program, from what I understand, was to encourage reading by rewarding kids for succeeding at reaching goals. Unfortunately, schools decided r

I see, sorry to waste your time. I thought the list was meant to be informational for people to assess which applications were problematic. I didn't realize it was more of a call to action.

I'm trying to give it a chance but it's kind of rough. - File save dialog has a massively reduced width sidebar. It has a resize handle. But the resize handle does nothing. This is the most infuriating thing for me because all of

It's important to conceal your identity because the internet is forever. Your comments, opinions, beliefs, embarrassing moments... all recorded (essentially) for life. This happens through administration changes, different jobs, life c

It was a thing, yeah. The schools around here didn't care. Kids were all on their phones during class, walking through the halls, during lunch, etc. Teachers gave up telling them to put them away because the students ignored them and t

Why would you enjoy making worker's lives just a little more difficult? :\

I was sort of on board until the Tandy 1000. It's disingenuous at best to assume that your phone can replace it because it 'does games and word processing'. A phone, no matter how much you like it or how much you can do with

Thank you for mentioning this. You often see comments like the OC that are dismissive of articles and seem to think people doing one thing know everything about that thing. I guess when people get to a certain level themselves, they forget

The Gemini CLI tool is atrocious. It might work sometimes for analyzing code, but for modifying files, never. The inevitable conclusion of every session I've ever tried has been an infinite loop. Sometimes it's an infinite loop of

I would say cost is a factor. Maybe not for OP, but many people aren't able to spend $135 a month on AI services.

Man, things had character back then. Everything is so flat and boring now. More importantly, though, Raymond Chen is an absolute treasure. I love these posts.

I don't really have anything to add to the conversation at hand, but Photopea looks pretty cool. Thanks for sharing!

I, for one, appreciate a simple design. "Modern" tends to end up being bloated and slow.

To add to this, MOO is just an interpreter and very basic network manager. All of the logic for controlling the actual game or environment is inside the database in interpreted MOO code. (You also have control over the network from inside.

Kind of off topic, but I don't think it necessarily makes one a robot. Some people enjoy quiet moments and spend time organizing their thoughts, imagining things, thinking through problems, or just enjoying a relatively calm and though

Even if the price is the same, "old" distribution models have benefits. If you're satisfied with your current version and it still works, no need to continue paying. If you maintain older systems, your software still works wi

MOOs have been around forever and are like more-easily programmable MUSHes. Educational institutions loved them back in the day. There's even still development of the MOO server, active social MOOs, websites running MOO as the webserve

It's kind of like Valgrind and was (is? I'm not sure.) used for finding memory leaks.
