Very good point, actually - Vim keybindings are absolutely the thing to learn, we will forever discuss which editor/guitar is great, but as long as the muscle memory stays the same, you can compare...

I love a new editor. But I long ago realized that a text editor was a massive long-term investment and after two editor companies abandoned me, I switched (back) to Vim and doubled down. Had I stuck with Vim in 1992, I could have saved a lo

I can only really comment on a few of those. The Paris Review and New Criterion are very US-centric and very much stick to literature and arts, much narrower in scope. Granta I remember from being a teenager and I don’t know if much has cha

Would not give up my LRB subscription for the world. Has made me somehow feel smarter after reading it every time over the last fifteen or so years.

I got that - but George wasn’t “just” the rhythm guitarist, he was the lead. On top of that, playing rhythm guitar is far more important than lead :)

Only today did my other half say that her two day-old AP Pros were the cause of a complaint on her call where the other side could not hear her well. There's plenty of similar experiences available to read - these expensive little thin

The late Studs Terkel showed us all - 50 years ago - how work was a search for both "daily meaning and daily bread". The speed and efficiency credo of the modern age has restricted independence and creativity almost out of existen

So you’re saying that you think John Lennon was the last one to be considered a musical genius?

Ed Hamrick has been saving my arse since 2001, and my full licence from then is still honoured to this day. For real. Currently powering a Minolta Dimage 5400 II from the early 2000s and I really ought to find a way of giving the guy more m

I once saw a FoF playing in the Sydney Symphony and then met them at the bar in the harbour for a messy evening of drinking. They were joined by many colleagues. The conversations I eavesdropped on were quite epic: “No I don’t think it was

This is a literal attack on democracy, so that would be an apt punishment to add on.

This is how we were taught at university on my (photo)journalism course, it's used by newspapers very effectively, e.g. "Dad, 42, saved a four-year-old on Haberdashery High Street this afternoon by pulling him out of the way of an

Minolta were ok, occasional leaps of cool tech punctuated by utter nonsense like inserting cards for different modes. Someone mentioned the T90 - superlative camera, multi-spot metering a complete game-changer for anyone using the Zone Sys

How are they silencing him? He can publish anywhere he likes, they just paid him to work for them and now he's bringing their brand into disrepute.

Word of mouth - they find me. I'm not on LinkedIn, my hatred of it is well-known, but I have met enough people over the years that keep me busy with work.

Sure, but there's no mention of actual working hours, other people are saying that you just have to put in longer days on the other four. In the EU it's pretty clear the hours a full-time job takes so this - even in a US context -

When will they just fly an umbrella drone to me that follows directly overhead to keep me dry? I like my umbrella and I always have it with me in the special umbrella pocket of my bag.

Silver-based photographs have lasted over a hundred years (as have actual books) so I think we're probably ok for archival media. There was a process I knew of years ago that replaced the silver in photos with gold or other metals, so

I work as a senior contractor, and yet I am happy to take more junior roles in teams and let others be the tech lead while playing down my own experience. It’s easy street. It is a bit boring, but it’s not mentally tiring or taxing and I fi

A labour of love by the poor man rather than an exhaustively-researched magnum opus, and clearly the interesting focal point is how resilient complete nonsense can be.
