- IANAD I am not a developer.
I got into vim because it made total sense to me as a way to transfer thoughts to words, I loved it , I lived it and I love it and live it. Then I heard about emacs org-mode – after trying for ages to find the "software to organise my life" (pick your poison).
I found it to be totally workable, initially, via doom-emacs.
Then they said "You won't believe Magit".
I didn't leave my wife, instead I invited everyone into my world.
True, I had been fooling around looking for a wife. I hit on vim. She was perfect. In her world there were people who knew all about perfection – no surprise – until I met her beautiful sister. I fell in love with her. Then I met a relation of hers (her name was Magic, also beautiful) and I invited them all back to what became their place where I am now welcome too.
- May I interject with my pathetic attempt at a Classification of Intelligences ala Linnaeus
Pre-AI :: Examples :: Timeline
---------------------------------------------------------------------
NHI Non-human Intelligence :: e.g. dolphins, apes, crows etc. :: millions of years
HI Human Intelligence :: e.g. Einstein, Trump, Confuscius, Homer :: thousands of years
Post-AI
---------------------------------------------------------------------
AI Artificial Intelligence :: ChatGTP, Gemini, many others :: countable months
AGI :: Artificial General Intelligence ; not there yet; :: zero
AIApHI AI Assisted/Approved/Audited Human Intelligence :: See AI :: countable months
HIApAI Human Intelligence Assisted/Approved/Audited AI :: The Future? :: zero
I have mentioned no individuals here to avoid legal action. My point on AI is ... wait and see. Chill.
- Here's an idea that might work for you. Rename ~/src/linux_/ or something like that.
- I'd say that gephyrophobia is a legitimate one. I mean, I for one would be terrified to have to cross it.
- pure.md proves that it is possible maybe even straightforward by prefixing a URL with pure.md/. No affiliation whatsoever and IANAJSD.
- What a good article.
This is not my area of expertise but I think Klass makes some very interesting points that affect all of us eventually. He calls out the BS in his field and is even prepared for the backlash. How is progress supposed to happen if sincerely held opinions have to be defended that way? One very minor criticism I have of the article is that when he says "Don’t get me wrong: there’s a lot of astonishingly good social science research" he doesn't provide any examples. I would have liked if he'd had.
- Interesting the link was dead when I tried it. Then when I googled "You'll never think again" all I got was "You'll never walk alone". I thought: "I'll never search again".
- This means something to me that one dev recognizes another and gives them kudos. I applaud this positive behaviour. You'd never get that from the AI monsters. But of course, now you probably will. Sorry, everyone.
- I wish you well. And I clicked you a star on github. Keep up the good work.
- Too late to edit. Here's a better clickable: https://pypi.org/project/beautify-http-server/
- Sorry I rushed the URL. I was focused on presenting the name of the package. I have no idea what libraries.io is.
- My goto is https://libraries.io/pypi/beautify-http-server; upload files and everything. I have it running on my Raspberry Pi.

I've been looking for a Linux clipboard manager to use over SSH but they all error out with for example (on running SSH in Windows Warp to access a LAN Linux box):
Here I am trying to copy to the X-11 clipboard in order to paste elsewhere inside the Linux box -- hope that's not too confusing!echo "doodah" | xclip -selection c Error: Can't open display: (null)Will your (eventual) clipboard manager work over SSH for this use case?
- FYI
yack n 1: noisy talk [syn: {yak}, {yack}, {yakety-yak}, {chatter}, {cackle}]
v 1: talk incessantly and tiresomely [syn: {yack}, {jaw}, {yack away}, {rattle on}, {yap away}] - I'm no expert regarding the shell. I guess I've only spent 0.01% of my life in it. But I want to say "Hear the guy out". IMHO, there's _got_ to be room for incorporating new stuff, however good the old stuff is. The horse and cart were great, but the car, the automobile wow!
- Slight correction: m-dash `Ctrl+k -M` or, for n-dash `Ctrl+k -N`.
What also works (though more cumbersome) are:
For m-dash: Ctrl+q u2014 and for n-dash: Ctrl+q u2013
My vim set up requires Ctrl+q but probably it's normally Ctrl+v, may need to check.
- Having reading the posts thus far and having listening to, say, Indians speak English I can't help saluting thus:
Awe Kaiser
Languages are a hodge-podge.
- Is this a deliberate replacement for Trevelyan?
- Hey, trying to help here, ok.
I added today's date (in the format 2025-02-25) into the input box and expected it to at least give me the option to convert to epoch time or something. But it returned:
Local: Invalid Date UTC: Invalid Date
It's not as intuitive as I thought it would be. Best of luck.
- In the west of Ireland there are two lakes: Lough Yganavan and Lough Nambrackdarrig.
The spellings come from the anglicisation of
1. Sandy Lake and
2. Red Trout Lake
so the namers kept things simple in their native tongue but now the names are almost indecipherable.
That seems common enough.
- Since when did gentlemen pull rugs? It seems antithetical to the behaviour of what I understand by 'gentleman'.
- I found that SEARCH returns the file # that the search pattern is in. Hope that helps.
- Odd that. My auto correct doesn't suggest even for envy.
- But I think mainly in the direction of demotion. Offhand I can't think of examples of someone ... oh, wait Van Gogh.
- I assume you are referring to "Endurance: Shackleton's Incredible Voyage" by Alfred Lansing. There is also a very good account in "The Endurance: Shackleton's Legendary Antarctic Expedition" by Caroline Alexander. Amazing tale of fortitude and integrity.
Regarding the journey across Elephant Island, that too was incredible. I note that there are tour companies providing opportunities to do this, though I haven't managed to do it yet.
- For a waxing moon the circular arc is on the right hand side and for a waning moon the circular arc is on the left hand side [Here in the Northern Hemisphere]. It would have been nice if the mnemonics Decreasing & Cresting worked but they don't. I personally use Developing & Collapsing to refer, respectively, to the waxing and waning moon. Has anyone a better couple of words than these?
- Murder in the Crooked House by Soji Shimada According to some, one of the great locked room mysteries. Recommended but I am guessing it's better in the original.
The Marriage Portrait by Maggie O'Farrell Not as amazing as I thought it would be but memorable nonetheless.
Strange Sally Diamond by Liz Nugent Something nice about this book. Not for everyone. What is?
- I feel your use of the "ides of October" somehow reflects well on me. And "daren't" is so quaint. Perhaps we are kindred spirits.
- Wait, what are you doing in a store at Christmas? :-)
I recommend looking also at the THOG problem. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/THOG_problem.
