I spent four weeks trying to order a genuine replacement keyboard for for my X1 after Lenovo Service tried to charge me $400 for a user-replaceable part. The parts order line was only open a few hours a day and hold times tended to go past

Yeah. It's really not too bad. It's certainly a little bit better if you take the ~4-10 lines to reconfigure a couple of keys. I map dhtn to hjkl and move d to j, n to l. It's pretty natural after that.

No. I have it install the manager. Literally all I need is the .vimrc and to start vim.

by phlyingpenguin 8y ago
All depends on your taste. My .vimrc handles ensuring that I have a plugin manager installed and that it installs those plugins on my behalf if they aren't there. And I do all of that in ~10 lines of vimL config. It's totally reas

The plugins you need to make Atom/VSCode great (no experience with modern Sublime) definitely count as configuration in my book, and often come with their own configuration load. If I sit down at a new machine, they won't be there

That's not really what I was doubting (I could see that). I just doubt that it's likely to not need a configuration file if I were to replace vim with it. In GP's assertion that this is the best reason to use Amp over vim, th

> it works out of the box with no configuration (batteries included). You don't really believe that, do you? Competent users tend to have preferences. There's no need to worry about installing plugins if you have to have a .vim

Surprisingly enough, they have a data export on the account page. I'm not sure when this was added but it was always a pain point for me and a reason I stopped paying any attention to my Flickr account. All it took was a drastic change

In the case of Gas Buddy (and larger, Cuebiq), I've seen two family members have their entire data plan used up on their behalf by the location services being overused. I'm guessing a bug in a recent version of their library. It m

I’m confused. Are we supposed to be bandwagon mad that Apple took steps to fix their busted keyboard?

No, that's why I put it in quotes. They will often keep in incessant contact and try to escalate matters within the department or school. This is still somewhat rare, but happens often enough to complain about.

I teach. I can say that I have never had direct pressure to pass students or raise grades, but there are two issues that I run into related to grades. First is the ever-growing methods of academic dishonesty. I do not have enough hours in m

This. I wish my MS granting university provided a template. We had guidelines that were in conflict with one another and some previous graduate's hobbled together template that matched "close enough". Every two or three stude

Many of the scientific antiquities and papers of the UK end up at the Royal Society Library. Brady Haran has a nice video series named Objectivity[1] about objects in the archives done with their head librarian, Keith Moore[2]. [1]: https:

Here are my first impressions. This has some pretty serious usability issues when compared to pocket, and I'm not 100% convinced it does more, even digging into the blog notes. Let's start at folders. The folders appear to just be

Nope. This touchbar Mac is actually the best machine I've ever had.

Can you find the source that they're using or are they getting it from other students? If you can find the source, just ask why they didn't give attribution, then how he's going to approach understanding the code that they co

Though they are not representative of the whole, if there's 1 ML job for every ~10 java/javascript jobs (are those really related?), that doesn't sound too bad to me as far as demand for ML. Many of those other jobs are proba

To be fair, I've had http://roguelike.club on my to-revisit list for a while and it doesn't obviously mention the twitch stream in big bold letters on the front page so I had missed that option. I'm quite glad to

Thank you. I use the sorting-algorithms visualization and it is usually a great hook for getting students to grok the rest of the content. It'll be great to have more resources.
