Hmm. It looks like I forgot a pointer to the actual tutorial. I wasn't talking about vimtutor, which only covers very basic topics, but about the much more extensive user manual: :help user-manual.

Forget cheatsheets, tweets, videos, books, etc. Vim comes with a very well made built-in tutorial that will gently pull you toward maximum efficiency.

You can have the core things you mention in other political systems and you can have democracy without them. Those are characteristics of the particular form(s) of democracy currently in place in most of "the west", not of democra

Democracy can have many forms, some more authoritarian than others. And it being able to morph into a different form as the conditions change is very much a feature, not a bug.

Very satisfied owner of a (smaller) PRW-30Y, here (with a matching after market "oyster" bracelet). Always on time, always charged, always precise, highly readable, packed with useful features… that thing went through a lot withou

The ones you can find online are sold by people who know the market all too well so the prices are high. Plus it's online so there's no guarantee about anything. Pawn shops, thrift stores, or their "modern" equivalents (

I would stay away from vimgolf if I were you because it focuses too heavily on a useless metric, number of keystrokes. The so-called "Vim language" is about expressiveness, intuitiveness, composability, etc., so performing a task

Vim comes with everything you need. The journey starts by running the following command: $ vimutor in your shell to learn the absolute basics in about 20 minutes, which is largely enough to be able to perform quick edits on config

You can catch glimpses of that generic Europe in recent American movies filmed in Budapest, Vienna, Paris, or other capitals. In Netflix "local" productions, also, and local TV shows meant for international distribution, where a l

Browsers can handle conversions just fine but they need some context. If that context is somehow tampered with, then the results might be weird. In this case, SpaceX seems to be using UNIX timestamps(1) which is probably fed to a combinatio

This is done in an effort to comply with what is commonly called "cookie law" (GDPR + ePrivacy directive). Those texts don't say anything about cookie banners, though, only that users should be informed and have the possibili

We actually have the same pressure, but we have built ourselves a world where dealing with it has become somewhat optional. Why bust your ass when you know that you will be given a second/third/fourth/tenth/etc. chance a

Hmm… that's the U.S. Secret Service, not the CIA, and they found lots of interesting stuff except an actual plot to "attack" anything, in NY or elsewhere: > Officials said they haven’t uncovered a direct plot to disrupt th

Speaking of WebGL, after a recent Chrome update I am not able to open Figma files anymore because webgl is supposedly not supported or enabled. I have gone through all the recommended tweaks with no effect. Possibly related: janky playback

You know what has been grind my gears for a while? It's the protruding camera lenses being off-center. I don't mind the "protruding" part but, every time I interact with my phone lying onto a table or countertop or whate

I tried all the DD alternatives (on macOS) and I think OrbStack is the easiest to use and least invasive of them all. But it is not cross-platform, so we settled on Podman instead, which came (distant) second in my tests. The UI is horrible

I find the way the amount fluctuates over time mildly funny. It reminds me of the joke where the police makes a bust and the total weight of drug seized diminishes at each report.

Interesting for sure but videos of the OS in use for actual work and of the hardware would be even more interesting. Also choice of keyboard.

First, the obvious: legal ways to stop anything have never succeeded in stopping anything. Second, what would you loose from your book being used to train LLMs and what would you gain from preventing that? Are you afraid of loost sales? Or

Democracy is when people get to decide how the nation will be run for the n next years without a gun pointed at their head, not when a party with " democrat " in its name gets the majority of the votes.

Those places all have ticketing systems and operate at capacity to maximize money flow. Rising prices won't change much I'm afraid, but forcing those places to run at a fraction of their capacity, possibly with some subsidy, would
