Thank you for saying this. I've been saying this for years. No one listens.

It's GNU Readline[0] or similar. It's all over the place, on Linux at least. Being GNU it defaults to emacs, but the vi support is also excellent. The first thing I type in any for…

I generally agree with you about UIs (if by shit you mean they've thrown away a ton of utility), but I don't think his video was bs, maybe just moved too far from it's original con…

For some reason your reply immediately caused me to imagine Ross Geller shouting into the phone, "Operator", like the, "Pivot" scene from friends.

This is a good and useful breakdown. There are lots of ways to get an education and continue learning.

DB engine appears to be sqlite. It's in the tags on the main page and there's a file full of sql to create what looks like a sample db in the data/ dir.

Choosing to name variables with a single character has nothing to do with syntax. At most it could be considered idiomatic, but there's no reason to slavishly follow every idiomati…

Ah, good eye, ty.

I appreciate your write-up, it was well done. How long did you spend on this? I'd be most interested to know how long, not counting writing the blog post.

See response to sibling comment.

I think I just responded too hastily. I am working in Go. There is file IO going on in addition to the calculation (which because of a NAS or whatever could also be network IO). As…

You've misunderstood how go routines work. You need to put the "go" keyword before the function call in order for it to be run concurrently.

This isn't true. I have use cases that don't require cancellations or timeout. The tasks I'm running don't involve the network, they either succeed or error after an expensive calc…

To me this is proof that doing a good visualization is really an art. I saw this on hn for a couple hours, but really didn't think much of it. As soon as I clicked through the funn…

I never said I stopped reading anything.

Manipulators frequently admit their manipulations, knowing that they work on you anyway. There's nothing novel there.

From the linked post: > I cheated a bit there, I admit. I changed one of the words. The name that the saint used in that passage was not ‘Ahriman’. It was ‘Antichrist.’ That's mani…

This was an excellent summary, ty.

Surprised, none of the more functionally minded have jumped in. Looks interesting, I'll be taking a look, when it ships.

lol, the nuclear option. You don't mess around, but really, I think the answer is, never quit Vim.

That's the spirit! (but I can't help it if you've mistaken a cleverly disguised web browser for a text editor.)

...but then the difficulty of quitting Vim becomes a feature. Can't crash the system by exiting, if you can't exit (taps head meaningfully). /s
