    There might be a better way but this bind works well for me in normal and select modes. C-n = ["search_selection", "extend_search_next"]

    Great post. There is definitely something hard to articulate but absolutely life-changing about my mental state moving from the US to Taiwan. The complete lack of worry about all t…

    This is satire, right? It's too good.

    I was specifically trying to contrast programming interfaces against the large universe of applications that don’t expose any. You bring up an interesting point about external depe…

    The yes I saw at the time has been deleted or edited I believe

    The first two responses to you were a solid yes and a solid no. I think that just demonstrates how the concept does not apply to application versioning.

    Hey folks, I noticed pre-covid that businesses tend to make internal decisions such as spending and hiring, that even when not directly related to my department, ultimately affecte…

    Everyone derides Apple for not listening to the demands of users and then, when Apple finally does give in they... continue to deride them. I'm just happy with +magsafe -touchbar. …

    This hardly makes a case at all. Only one section in the middle is actually dedicated to why syntax highlight is bad and it boils down to a baseless assertion about "biasing" the d…

    > in the US it is not true That is patently false. You can divide Americans into any number of segments which they are born into and reliably determine that segment's success. E.g.…

    It's absurd but you have to first perform a search while in r/yoursubreddit and then on the results page click "Show results from r/yoursubreddit"

    I'm just looking for a helpful, actionable response. All I've seen so far is "X is bad" (not actionable) and "Let's ban X" (not helpful). What good will it do you that there's an i…

    I'm not talking about taking random samples off a sidewalk. I'm saying if you follow a person you know and collect something they've discarded, now they're in the database. Do that…

    I'm a little confused about what exactly the point of debate is here. * Is your DNA a secret? I think the fact that you leave it everywhere means no. * Should people be allowed to …

    I think this is somewhat analogous to the privacy issues around Google Street View. Almost nobody thought the image of the front of their house was really private, but the idea of …

    Those were dangerous in general sense to the establishment's position of power. The type of speech being argued against here is immediately dangerous to the physical person of spec…

    Logically, if isolation is keeping the curve flat and you still have patients to "burn" through then won't ending isolation make the curve pop back up potentially back over capacit…

    Would something like paperspace be a good platform for software development? My slow computer doesn't handle IntelliJ that well. Instead of buying a new PC I could rent this for a …

    I thought that was the point of the section- that you may be able to tell something is wrong with the example, but the compiler can't. Thus by programming in that fashion you're no…

    It seems pretty obvious to me in context what the word means. You could play that game with literally every word in the sentence. What does "achieve" mean? It's that way out of the…

    You can write JS functionally but to get the benefits from the video like modeling your data as sum & product types as well as static type checking, you need to use a language with…

    A password isn't a good analogy for a DNA, imo. DNA only identifies you-- it doesn't unlock additional information about what you've done in the past like a password might. So a cl…

    The real lesson is that your DNA was never a secret at all. Almost the entirety of it is shared with many people (your family) and you literally leave it everywhere you go. Don't a…
