Absolutely with you on the last point, but the Subway Surfers mentioned in this Article is a mobile game which has been around since 2012 - they don't splice in videos with actual …

Try this in your local vim: set rnu Really handy for relative movements like 5j or 12k :)

FYI the fingerprint sensor problem has since been fixed and I can now use it again without trouble for banking apps and the like. (Although I'm on a Fairphone 3+) Still holding up …

DCSS = Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup ADoM = Ancient Domains of Mystery Cataclysm DDA = Cataclysm Dark Days Ahead I swear I didn't make the first one up ;) Edit: ah well, you got your an…

That was probably supposed to be a pun - you're both on the same side here :)

Skateboarding! It's a bit hard to find time for it during a workday, but sometimes I just have the urge to get moving and trade lunch with my colleagues for some time on the board.…

It's never too late to start. At the beginning you should really focus on trying some things that keep your attention. (For me that was programming games - incredibly crufty ones, …

This is the same type of screen used as in the pebble smartwatches[0], right? Honestly, I wonder why that technology hasn't been used for anything like the Thinkpad in the video - …

To add to that - if you prefer writing the body of the post itself in markdown, and write in VIM, here's a little snippet that might help: :%!markdown_py where markdown_py is your …

I highly recommend messing around with yabasic[0] a bit, runs on windows and (probably) most unix-likes, and even offers graphics capabilities right out of the box! I feel like thi…

A related thing to consider: I've been thoroughly enjoying sites built on the gemini protocol[0] They're all written in a sort of restricted markdown, and the community seems to be…

I know it's not what you asked for, but these articles helped me a lot with linear algebra - which you will most probably need in any case: http://blog.wolfire.com/2009/07/linear-a…

Then again, shows like One Punch Man work because you know all of those tropes, and doesn't seem to work nearly half as well if you don't know what they're referring to. (I've trie…

Why would you not just set the location of the backup and swapfiles to a fixed place in your system? Try this: set backupdir=~/.vim/backups,. set directory=~/.vim/swapfiles,. It wi…

Infiniminer is something that comes to mind - which was the base used for Minecraft, I think. While we're in the Realm of voxel-based games, there's Minetest, which is open Source …

You remember correctly - it's from the second book, "The restaurant at the end of the universe", and the animal in question had been genetically altered to strive for its own consu…

Hehe^^ Try: ,p or: ,n in ed and you'll print the whole file to the screen - although you'll be at the end of the file with everything that didn't fit on screen cut off. I guess the…

In all honesty, I think I had a harder time exiting ED (the standard editor), although vim and ED are quite similar in spirit ;)

Maybe it's just your use case - but I've just switched someone over to Linux and it seems to be suiting them much better than Windows - granted they're running older hardware, but …
