The interface is modal editing, which, yes, takes some getting used to. The payoff is that you get a kind of programming language for text editing. Rather than memorizing ctrl+shift+alt-style keybinds, you decompose stuff into chainable actions.

Have you ever played a video game, be it with kbd+mouse or gamepad, and realize you’re doing a bunch of stuff without actually consciously thinking about what buttons you’re pressing? That’s what working in editors like Vim or (my fav) Helix feels like.

Belgian here. Their wording is confusing and I’ve been trying to figure out how much of it is meaningful.

They tacked on a precondition to them recognizing Palestine: Hamas must give up power. I don’t see that condition being met faster than Israel can flatten what remains of Gaza and force its population out – which in turn only creates more suffering and anger for the militant recruit pipeline.

The sanctions mostly concern boycotts on products produced in occupied regions. Fuck that – boycott all trade with Israel.

Our rightwing prime minister is on record saying that the whole debate was annoyingly motivated by ‘morality’ and that he’s glad the government (an uneasy coalition) can move on to more important matters. Downright shameful.

Come protest this Sunday in Brussels. Last one was attended by 100k demonstrators. Was a fun afternoon. More info at 11.be

Broke: file names have a max character length.

Woke: split b64-encoded data into numbered parts and add .part-1..n suffix to each file name.

Do not – and I really cannot stress this enough – give any of those bears cocaine

I’m OOTL. Are these actual issues people have with the project?

C++ might not be as memory-safe as Rust, but let’s not pretend a Rust code base wouldn’t be riddled with raw pointers.

BSD tells me the team probably wants Ladybird to become not just a standalone browser but also a new competing base for others to build a browser on top of – a Chromium competitor. Even though BSD wouldn’t force downstream projects to contribute back upstream, they probably would, since that’s far less resource-intensive than maintaining a fork. (Source: me, who works on proprietary software, can’t use GPL stuff, but contributes back to my open-source dependencies.)

Holy shit, I wasn’t expecting it to be word for word the same. Wow…

Points for honesty… I guess?

And they’ve got an entire diagnostics team working on a single patient multiple days in a row, breaking into their house, running lab tests, and doing basically every single task a hospital has an entire staff for.

Would love to see the hospital bill

One of the points the article makes is that people boost such content despite knowing it’s fake because it confirms what they’re ’feeling’. Want to feel outrage? Here’s an image that will let you and others feel that. Truth? Irrelevant.

In short: it’s the ‘facts don’t care about your feelings’ crowd doing what they do best: recasting reality as a jumble of vague feelings.

You forgot Quora. That site used to be semi-useful. These days I can never tell whether I’m reading an actual answer to the question or just some random recommended post that’s been shoved in in between.
