> It became clear from conversations with potential COO recruits that few would take the job if Mr. Kalanick stayed, they said.

Aha. Now I think this makes more sense.


I've written something similar myself in C++ before, but I'm curious if people actually have interest in using something like this regularly. I had thought I would do something like configure lynx to use it but the novelty quickly wore off and instead I went and started playing with the Mandelbrot set in the terminal and forgot all about it.


Cool!

I think that playing YouTube in the terminal today is just a fun idea because the videos look so goofy. But like people say... Sixel... Everything is apparently possible!

Someday, somebody will make the whole YouTube platform.


Interesting. I had not heard the term "glass cliff" before and I think I quite like it.


So, outside of giving your data to government agencies, you're saying the worst thing Google can do is use ML to turn you into a consumer-zombie? While I mostly share your stance on this, that argument just seems completely ineffective (in part to the sense of exceptionalism you mention). Unless there's some poster child case of this that I'm unaware of, I'm not sure why "big scary ML-injected ads" keep getting brought up when there are potentially more valid concerns out there.

Moving on, the remainder of the argument relies on the assumption of an antagonistic state, which if true, means you have a much bigger and immediate problem in the first place. Google or not, China seems to be doing pretty well as a surveillance state so that doesn't seem too convincing either.

So I don't think that opinions will change without a string of high profile incidents that substantiate both of the concerns you mention.

Or a political zombie. Did everyone forget ad-tech's role in the 2016 election?


I think if someone is going to use something like SpaceVim, it would be best to start early and just learn that instead of vanilla vim. The initial cognitive load will be high for learning both anyways.

I personally do not have the patience for it even after giving it a try. But in my case, my 3yo laptop might just be too slow to handle all that bloat.


Many of them will be lost when editing something in vim on a completely clean remote server or anything other... Like how to explore files without NERDTree?

You can learn basic Vim commands in 30min with vimtutor. One thing to keep in mind is this: https://danielmiessler.com/study/vim/#language and this https://www.vi-improved.org/recommendations/


I used to run more commands from vim, but now I personally find Ctrl-Z is usually more convenient for all the one-off commands. If I do run stuff from inside of vim, it's now usually ":w !" or ":r !" (or some custom command wrapper around those).


Oh! Ctrl-Z! I've been calling !zsh all these years, for quick shell access, and never thought of suspending vim.

Thanks for the nugget.


Put this in your zshrc, and Ctrl-Z will also resume the most recently suspended process. Really handy to just Ctrl-Z in and out of Vim.

  # Make Ctrl-z also resume background process
  fancy-ctrl-z () {
      if [[ $#BUFFER -eq 0 ]]; then
          BUFFER="fg"
          zle accept-line
      else
          zleush-input
          zle clear-screen
      fi
  }
  zle -N fancy-ctrl-z
  bindkey '^Z' fancy-ctrl-z


I don't really know zsh, but that looks like it should be

  zle flush-input


To be fair, a number of those operators are

> This is an infix alias for cons. > This is an infix alias for snoc. > A convenient infix (flipped) version of toListOf. > An infix version of itoListOf.

And a lot of them are (<+~) and friends.


Indeed. Especially in such a simple scheme, e.g. if they find people aren't giving away enough money and try to incentivize it, people will just form cycles. If you start doing triangle-detection on the graph (as a stand-in for some arbitrary regulatory measure), they'll just make longer ones.

And beyond pure greed and the political aspect, there are professors that also have pointless grudges.


I don't think you can call the STG an IL...


We can test that. Is it the target, machine code? If not, are there any optimizations that can happen between the two? If it's not machine code & can be improved, then it's probably safe to classify it as an IL. Or common sense variant: it's not the final language so it's an intermediate language. :)


I use Discord exclusively for text and I'm also not sure why there's hype about it in terms of VOIP.

Also fwiw, on desktop you can open up Developer Tools with Ctrl-Shift-I and mess with the styles.


You can mess with the styles, but its non-portable and will get removed on a reinstall or some updates. I like to be able to just make a theme and install it.
