A government committing to emissions reduction is like your deadbeat sibling committing to pay you back next Tuesday.

Actually it might require the gitlens extension. It's very well integrated and I've been using it for so long I don't know where one ends and the other begins. Regardless, if you open the diff view, the right hand side is edi

Also the Baroque Cycle by Neal Stephenson. Sabotage of gunpowder stocks, exploding cannons (and cannon operators), and brewing red phosphorus from urine (and subsequently getting run out of town by an angry mob because of the stench).

Still not good enough, unfortunately. Anything below 18-ish point type is too difficult to read.

Decades of cold war propaganda have confused the issue in the US. When you say socialism, they think you are talking about USSR-style authoritarian communism. It's asurd and exasperating, but it won't go away until the boomer gene

Yes, in the same way that you can set up a video content channel on a site other than YouTube. It's not the hosting, it's the massive amount of traffic and exposure that can't be replicated by another service.

Are you talking about vim? I thought this article was about programming languages.

In this context, sexier is used interchangeably with cool. It’s a common phrasing.

Flailing about seemingly randomly is a good description of how I learn complex software. Blender, Ableton, etc. After a few days I'll reach for the structured educational resources.

Cutting steak with a fork is a pretty good metaphor for working with a spreadsheet heavy enterprise team.

The true killer application is being able to take a dump without pausing your game.

That's great to hear. I am always interested in learning new languages that are vastly different to mainstream languages to see if there are any hidden gems that I can incorporate into my day job.

This is my first encounter with K, and it looks absolutely bonkers. The amount of logic you can express in a few characters is mind boggling. However, it makes my brain hurt. Is this a paradigm that becomes intuitive once you learn it, or i

What industry do you work in? Is it a common stack there?

Incidents of voter fraud, and side effects from vaccines, etc are quantifiable, therefore not subject to opinion. Interpretation yes, but interpretation must be supported by evidence.

It depends, running less than 90 fps is borderline and anything under 60 is a vomit comet. Most people have some issues with motion sickness at first but after a few days your brain adapts to it (so called “VR legs”). I regularly play games

I know it sounds snarky, but at some point of vimrc complexity it’s worth considering just switching to vscode with the vim extension. It can use neovim as a back end and you get mountains of features out of the box. I created vim-idiomatic

It's not as if you're obligated to buy their products, therefore need to find a less expensive workaround. If you don't like the people producing them and think they're overpriced, play dwarf fortress or watch TV. There

Do you have any recommendations? :) I've been trying to find a big town or small city with lots of natural beauty and nice weather. I grew up in Seattle and refuse to live anywhere with more than 90 days of cloudy weather per year. One

I always thought of TDD as a way to exercise your code while writing it, not a set in stone spec of your product. I consider unit tests disposable and basically noise; they're only useful when you're writing code. They are by natu

You should take a look at satisfactory[0] if you haven't already. It's not (quite) as deep as factorio, but the game world is absolutely beautiful and immersive, and it's still in early access so new content is constantly arr

Do you think this has something to do with traditional Spanish culture? Ex-Spanish colonies are also notoriously led from the top down, and I read an interesting theory that the reason the Aztecs were so easily assimilated vs indigenous Nor

I encourage everyone to take an extended trip to a country with a different culture if they can afford it by any means. The greatest effect it has on you is making it obvious which aspects of your personality and values are just picked up f
