They're just gonna vote for the politicians most friendly to these CEOs while still yelling about AI.

Imagine if they were instead hostile to the CEOs/business class fantasizing about millions of layoffs rather than focused on a non-sentient technology.

Yes because there's always legacy code to delete and that's one of the best feelings in programming.

Came to that decision long ago and gave up wordle and the crossword. People say "well NYT still does good work, good reporters" but at this point that seems more like cover for the real goal.

For a long time I would've said Speaker for the Dead was my fave book before learning about Orson Scott Card. Then Neil Gaiman was my fave author... Being able to move on is a good thing, there's a lot of better people worth supporting.

I review when I forget the mapping or command but still remember the functionality. But I don't have a system to regularly refresh my knowledge.

I update plugins only occasionally and one at a time so I can see if there are new features I care about and then update my notes.

I just have a notes file that keeps track of what plugins are installed. Lists the goal of the plugin and commands and mappings to remember organized by functionality like git, note-taking, lsp.

folke/which-key.nvim is a popular option to help browse through and remember all those bindings.

these are all choices that newspapers make and it's interesting to see which politicians they make one choice for and which they make other choices for.

"I'd like to share a story from a local paper in Coldwater, Michigan dated to the 9th of April, 1945. It tells how the US Army, under General Patton--the US 3rd Army--came onto what you might call a detention center just outside the village of Ohrdruf, Germany. The US Army brought the leading citizens of Ohrdruf to tour the facility, which turned out to be part of the Buchenwald network of concentration camps. A US Army colonel told the German civilians who viewed the scenes, without muttering a word, that they were to blame. One of the Germans replied that what happened in the camp was (quote) 'done by a few people, and you cannot blame us all.' And the American, who could have been any one of our grandfathers, said, 'this was done by those that the German people chose to lead them, and all are responsible.' The morning after the tour, the Mayor of Ohrdruf killed himself. And maybe he did not know the full extent of the outrages that were committed in his community, but he knew enough. And we don't know exactly how ICE will use this warehouse. But we know enough. I ask you to consider what the Mayor of Ohrdruf might have thought before he died. Maybe he felt like a victim. He might have thought, 'how is this my fault? I have no jurisdiction over this.' Maybe he would have said, 'this site was not subject to local zoning, what could I do?' But I think, when he reflected on the suffering that occurred at this camp, just outside of town, that those words would have sounded hollow even to him. Because in his heart he knew--as we do--that we are all responsible for what happens in our community. I urge the council to take action to stop, or stall, or at the barest minimum to think creatively about how to exercise oversight over this proposed ICE facility. Thank you."

This is brilliant. I'm so grateful for this testimony. I've transcribed it to use in letters I'm writing. Sharing the full transcription here (see alt text to copy/paste it):

I've been sent video from the end of the ICE raid at the Zipps on 32nd and Shea.

It shows protesters -- on the sidewalk, impeding no one -- getting drive-by maced by an ICE agent from a truck as it rolls away down the road.

Hard to see how such tactics are justifiable.

Now imagine increased accessibility and scale, everyone able to access anybody's address at will, and it's now a nightmare.

Reminds me of this Privacy paper I read in grad school. crypto.stanford.edu/portia/paper.... Looking up property records at your courthouse is legal but limited to county and might have a small fee...

I half believe a lot of these bluesky posters that can't get jokes or take everything the worst way are just an army of bots financed by Musk to degrade other sites.

I'll open a tab and just type chores like "dishes" as a reminder.

I know I can do a lot more with Raycast

It's pattern recognition. Journalists could try using actual correct terminology? LLMs are one of many techniques of AI, an area of computer science that has existed for almost 70 years. AI didn't magically appear 5 years ago when they saw it for the first time.

If the Dark Souls games interest you, then you shouldn't let parrying stop you. I've played them all with all sorts of different characters without parrying once.

As a middle aged dude, I saw the cover of Starter Villain in the library and immediately grabbed it. It's great fun!

This is actually quite brilliant, up to and including the final sentence 🔥

I quit the former Twitter two years ago this week, and I am here to tell you that my online life got a lot better for having left it. In two years I've not been tempted to go back, and I haven't felt any penalty in either career or community for not being there. It's nice to be here and not there.

Pizzagate: If you replace the word “hot dog” with “little boy” and “pizza party” with “child sex orgy,” you will see the lengths these elites go to cover up their crimes.

Real elite emails: Send me nude pictures of those 8th graders we abused last weekend post-haste! I am the Ambassador to Turkey.

I hope it becomes more clear to everyone that ALL corporate media is Republican biased.

Discoverability (/r/neovim or other sites) is a big part. If 100 different people have their own git flows and write their own plugins to adapt, at least a few might resonate with me and improve my workflows. Usually glancing through the Readme is enough to see if worth trying.

Outside of my personal-notes taking setup I haven't written my own plugins much but I've tried tons of options, many of which have greatly improved my workflows. Some people use the term PDE (personal dev environment) as opposed to IDE. Enjoying tinkering with things is a big part.

Peak liberal ”resistance”. Spread around a picture calling Trump triumphant... wow got him! A few people laugh at his hair and much more people who weren't even aware of this cover now see he's "the leader Israel needs".
