On the bright side, this is actually a demonstration of the extensive work the neovim team has done cleaning up the UI layers. justinmk's comment above goes into more detail, but basically vim has gone from having a single array of cha

It also exists because the vim BDFL refused to merge some patches, notably async (vim did get async after it was proven a success in neovim). Since the fork neovim has modernized and cleaned up the codebase, and has an ambitious feature roa

Dockless and docked bikeshare programs both mitigate this issue, with trade-offs on the inconvenience of finding bikes/parking them.

They're probably rolling out an update to the app now. If you're already fully up to date, check back in a day or two.

How does the market price falling for someone's house lead to them getting evicted? It's not going to make their mortgage payments go up, nor their taxes. I guess if they stop paying their mortgage because it's underwater, th

TL;DR: OpenContainers are a specification for containers. There have been a few iterations of the container concept. First there were things like Solaris Zones and FreeBSD Jails. Then Google added CGroups to the Linux kernel, which are a ba

Configuring a firewall correctly is much easier than configuring NAT correctly: Block all incoming connections by default. Have your apps/OSes on firewalled machines prompt users to allow incoming connections, and use uPnP to talk to t

Mass transit is much more efficient to scale up because people are taking up less space and moving in a frequent coordinated pattern. Cars have a huge footprint: they take up extra space on the highway around a single occupant, they take ex

But the density is being suppressed by zoning limits on building heights, parking requirements, mandated road improvements to handle additional traffic, and a building permit process that is heavily influenced by NIMBYs. Pass SB50 and watch

The shuttle had to make tons of major design compromises in order to get funding, and that basically reduced its utility, limited its launch rate and capacity, and blew out the operational costs. Critically, the shuttle dumped its engines i

Sure, but rocket launch costs are orders of magnitude higher than the cost of fuel to launch payloads. Once we nail down reusability, then we'll see space access become much more affordable. And once we have ships that only operate in

That doesn't disagree with what I said. The majority is still in the East (the mean is East of the geographic center), and you don't want to optimize for average latency anyway. You'll get the best median latency with two dat
