I recently hit the fold level limit, which is hard coded into Vim at 20. I was disappointed that it's the same in neovim. I tried changing the Vim code and compiling from source but apparently it's not that simple because it still

There's nothing stopping a company from creating products based on these, and having them certified, assuming they satisfy the requirements for certification (which if they don't you probably don't want to put it in your hous

I don't really understand the first episode. The idea as far as I can tell is that it's illegal to use employees who reverse engineered the BIOS to clone the BIOS, but it's legal to hire someone new, who presumably is also go

It almost makes me feel like using likes, karma, etc, isn't a good way to measure something's quality.

I'm interested in the laws around these cameras. Is it illegal to record eg parts of your neighbor's private property? Are you liable or is Amazon?

1. Is plaster and lath gypsum based? In my experience plaster is basically identical to stucco, which is basically just mortar with increasingly fine sand. It is very hard and completely unlike drywall. 2) Why emphasize asbestos when talkin

That sounds right. I looked through the terms of the offer and it looked pretty onerous. I almost get the feeling they're trying to use my own hatred of the banks and desire to screw them out of $45 to trick me

Capital One just offered me $45 to install a Firefox extension. I declined, though I'm sort of tempted to get paid for getting spied on which I assume is happening anyway. And who knows, maybe I could get a couple more bucks later in t

There was a big long article in the Atlantic recently called "what happened to Pam Bondi?" The answer is obviously corruption, and you probably don't need to read a big long article to see it. https://www.theatlant

This problem has already been solved. The legislature creates the laws, the executive executes the laws, and the judiciary interprets the laws. But now we're in a situation where the executive does whatever it wants including illegally

My advice is to use paracord for shoelaces. It's cheap, lasts forever, can be cut to any length, ties well, etc. It lasts so long you can take it off your old worn shoes and put it on your new shoes. I find that the shoelaces that come

I don't know what consciousness is or how to talk about it. But at a basic level I don't believe there is a category of phenomena separate from the physical world or inaccessible to the scientific method; and if there were I don&

Obvious problem - stock market could keep going down. Obvious improvement - stop limit sell orders. Obvious flaw in the story - many common stocks like Google have doubled in the past year.

I'm not sure this is unique to consciousness (whatever that is). What would it even mean to directly interact with the physical world? Even the most precise scientific experiments are a series of indirect measurements of something that

It's hard to have a universal philosophy for puzzles - or depends a lot on how much you trust the designer. There are lots of tedious or unfair puzzles, which ruins the experience or expectations when you encounter a well designed puzz

Gas taxes go down when people use EVs. The government raises the yearly tax for EVs and hybrids, though not based on distance driven (where I am). I can imagine they do it in places with more EVs or where there are more controls like smog t
