Is there somewhere that describes what this.. does? I love music discovery and am very excited to try this, but I'm very unclear if I should be excited.. what does it do different than Spotify, and how does it achieve this? Ie, I can c

Federated GitLab would be a cool leap for me to trust it, and a strong counter to what I'm about to say... But man, I wish there was just an accepted, good UX federated system for hosting issues/etc. The solutions exploiting git m

Any thoughts on strategy's for not "if your young" people? My wife and I (early 30s) have been getting her school debt settled but with little retirement outside of a small 401k, we've started looking at aggressive retir

As an aside, I love the color design of this site. It's dark, which I prefer, but it has a lot of color. The colors might be a bit.. awkward, but for some reason I still love them.

Well I imagine what OP meant was that the testing phase in this "science" is not verifiable/repeatable/etc. Perception is an awful way to perform tests, and is very frequently wrong.

Does it matter though? If the ISP is responsible for the "last mile", does it matter if they screw up the last meter of it? It's one thing if customer supplied boxes are causing problems in the last meter, but if the last mil

Not sure, I've not used selection mode all the time lol. You're the one who (due to my interpretation) implied Kakoune and Vim were similar on the text selection mode. Ie, even ignore advanced features, Kakoune fundamentally is

Out of curiosity, how well did the Qt frontend for Neovim work for you? I've been wanting to try and make a frontend for Kakoune, but for times sake, I wanted to leverage existing frameworks. If it's possible to write an editor in

by notheguyouthink 8y ago
I don't think visual selections in vim work the same as in kakoune though, do they? It's a powerful primitive in Kakoune, from regex to multiple cursors. My vim knowledge on selection mode is quite limited however, so I can't

Sure, but that's just one aspect. For me, it's the most meaningful one though.

Is this project trying to do anything to solve/improve manipulation / disinformation by large entities? That's my largest concern in the modern era - information is very difficult to ingest not due to discovery, but trust. On

As an aside, there are GUIs coming out for Neovim that give you features of IDEs with 100% real backing of Vim/Neovim. Ie, it's actually Neovim, but the GUI is just a frontend with IDE bells and whistles. Most are pretty young I b

Man I wish I could switch back to Vim. GUI frontends for Neovim has made me want Vim so bad, but I just can't get away from Kakoune. The model of select first, action after (reverse of vim) is so so much better for me. Kakoune just giv

Wife and I decided ages ago to not have children. I had a vascetomy when I was ~25. I think our reasons differ, and mine are confused, but it's very clear to both of us that we never want children. Oddly, she liked being an aunt though

Hard to say what that culture is exactly, though. It could simply be a culture where the employees feel safe enough to express concern with the company. Ie, both employee groups have the same numbers of people who care about ethics, but one

They had green threads, but removed it. To my knowledge, there are multiple libraries that effectively implement green threads, but it's still a work in progress. Might be production ready, not sure, but I believe at the very least the

Sidenote, appending to that list, my NodeJS "brain load" was insane. When I switched from Node -> Go ages ago it was night and day. Funnily, in some scenarios, I find Rust to be less of a brain load than Go. In others, Rust is

Isn't one of those impossible? Ie, there's only one reasonable interpretation of that sentence? Not saying being explicit isn't important, just trying to understand you.

Yea, I agree. I guess it's just that I can sympathize with their position (again, for the sake of argument assuming they are good actors..) . I was also way too vague. A better thing to talk around would have been warrants, and how ou

I completely agree. However, crypto doesn't abide by warrants. So many people read into my comment thinking that I'm supporting a surveillance state. I am not. I simply am talking about how it is, indeed, complicated. Crypto doesn

I suppose I should have said "anyones" vs "everyones", but that's an implementation issue isn't it? The problem I was talking about was proper encryption being impossible to monitor. Meaning that a well meaning

Eh, I mean, it's complicated - isn't it? If anyone inside US borders is off limits, wouldn't it be a great place for terrorists to set up shop? Completely no surveillance in US borders, win win! I agree completely that our ri
