Anecdotal evidence: Ever experienced that a bus is braking (near-constant deacceleration), and people seem fine; but then the bus comes to a halt and thus stops deaccelerating, and people suddenly fall on the floor? I think at least the der

The only others I’ve heard of are AmVim and VSCode-NeoVim, both of which are still active. Are any of the others still in development? Any of them still worth picking over VSCodeVim?

From this perspective, the next effect that might be relevant is the moons orbit, which should be at a frequency 1.5 orders of magnitude below the Earth spin.

Might be worth pointing out that quaternions themselves are often represented as matrices as well: That’s the Pauli matrices, widely used to model quantum spin. One advantage of quaternions is that it’s (IMO) easier to calculate things with

CuPy is also great – makes it trivial to port existing numerical code from NumPy/SciPy to CUDA, or to write code than can run either on CPU or on GPU. I recently saw a 2-3 orders of magnitude speed-up of some physics code when I got a

On the contrary, it’s a backport of the (IMO) most useful notebook feature to work also for regular scripts. It’s been ported to most code editors by now (VSCode “Interactive Python”, Vim “hydrogen”, Emacs “code-cells.el”, Sublime “Send Cod

An alternative here is to make a script with `# %%` code cells, so you can send one cell at a time to a REPL while developing the script.

There’s also a hybrid version that I like: Write proper scripts (which are easier to e.g. push to HPC servers or deploy later), and explore them using something like Quarto (neé RMarkdown, renamed now that it supports Python). Then you stil

Or use cw, and then use a plugin like e.g. junegunn/vim-easy-align.

I’ve used Vim for ~2 decades, and never use R. I use r daily though.

XLWings – the product made by the author of this post – lets you do exactly that. You can make a Python script that connects to a live Microsoft Excel process, iterates over sheets and cells, reads/writes data to them, etc. I’ve used i

I believe iTerm2 has been GPU accelerated for some years now which probably helps. I’ve only been using it for 3-4 years and haven’t had this issue.

The `tmux -CC` is pretty dope. I’m still surprised that not more terminals have picked it up yet. Most GUI features (new tab, new split, scroll, search, copy/paste, etc.) just work, and it all syncs with `tmux`. Be aware though that it

Not a huge fan either – mainly because it’s hard to interact with it purely via the keyboard. Depending on the implementation, I am however looking forward to this. I need to use some systems that only provide 2FA via a mobile app (i.e. Pus

iPhone XR was released in 2018, and I got mine in 2019. It will still be supported by iOS 18, which is being released in 2024. 5-6 years of fully functioning hardware with official OS updates is much better than the Android phones I had be

Sure. Another option is semicolon-delimited files which are also in use in Europe, and Pandas handles that fine too. I was responding to your comment that you had never seen commas in data fields in CSV files, and wanted to point out that t

Comma is the decimal separator in many European languages. It’s also not uncommon in strings.

It is also the original purpose of TAB: the tabulation key, used to delimit tabular data. I also like that TSV files are both readable in plain text and easy to manipulate directly in editors like Vim and Emacs via rectangle operations or m

Currently, whether multiple language servers can be active in one buffer is up to the language client. In Emacs for example, Eglot (built-in) doesn’t support this but LSP-mode (bolt-on) does.

Apple and Google could provide devices or OS versions that disable these features, which could be issued as work phones to military and security personnel. Not saying it’s a perfect solution, but they might consider it a “95% good enough” s

To be fair, it really depends how you use them. Vim has a better TUI while Emacs has a better GUI. Vim is generally easier to configure while Emacs is easier to extend . Vim has more packages that extend the modal editing itself (e.g. ex
