Doubt it was the thinkpad's fault. Sleep and bluetooth is still a shitshow on linux.

I always see people remark "wow look how snappy old computers were" when they're essentially built like $10,000 machines if you were to actually have those specs at that time.

But the question is that, if you were to spend $10,000 or more today will you experience the same snappiness.

I would argue that it's impossible to replicate the low-latency experience of "retro" systems today with the overhead of modern software; no matter how much you are willing to spend.

Anyone considering to switch should keep in mind that these are projects with very different philosophies.

Neovim is always chasing the shiny new things; while that's exiting it comes with breaking changes, general instability and the possibility of changes that you might not like.

Vim is the exact opposite. You can drop in a .vimrc from 20 years ago it will most likely work fine. It should be noted that this focus on stability does not necessarily constrain innovation (eg. vim9script), it just sets a conservative pace of improvements.

Anyone claiming to exist in this middle space is in practice a republican, just without the conviction that's typical to that party's base.

So it's basically, "If you're not with us, you're against us?"

Wii U Architecture 4 years ago

Every game that's available for the Wii U digitally, is available for a pirated download. Straight from Nintendo.

Oh wow, how did Nintendo manage to be this stupid?

It's fascinating that I can just click and run a game compiled in 1996 (WINQUAKE) in Windows 11; but my ubuntu installation breaks after not touching it for two months.

I didn't know about Zola. I guess i just deemed Hugo "good enough" :)

Zola is basically a stripped down Hugo. I don't see any reason choose it over hugo other than it's obligatory "written in rust" advantage.

Neovim's Lua support can't yet do a lot of this stuff natively

That's the reason a DSL is usually better in these cases; I've used lua for scripting game engines before but I don't think it's a good choice for a text editor, especially an established one like vim.

If you use anything more complicated than toggling settings and autocmd's in your vimrc, I suggest you take a look at `vim9script`, it really is an enormous improvement.

Vim 9.0 4 years ago

Well, Bram is the author of the parent project, he doesn't have any obligation to make it compatible with the derivative.
