I'm also a vimwiki fan. Used to use emacs just for org mode but didn't find the extra effort worthwhile for the returns. I haven't used calendar.vim ... I will tomorrow, thanks!

I have a MBP Mid 2014; it has always had a freeze problem. During 2016 probably twice a week. Drove me nuts. I forget the 2015 rate. The second half of this year, approx, has been really good to the point that I'd forgotten about freezes until a recent "your computer restarted 'cos it had a problem".

Well, I'm honoured to be in the presence of "a true, educated critic". Late twenties, so I can see how you consider yourself to be an expert on wisdom too. Alas, being considerably older I only see old hat (as suggested in the comment, but you didn't seem to manage to pick up on, despite your quintessential hallmarks). Damned eyes. I see that "K.Dot" is not much older than you (I assume "K.Dot" is the intellectual's name for Kendrick Lamar). Anyway, I'll let you get back to your yourself.

I don't know; I'm afraid it bored me and I didn't finish. I did read the lyrics of a few of the tracks recommended in other comments, but didn't see anything special. Maybe because I grew up in South Africa, the theme of "How much does a dollar cost" (but remove the grammar), although you might then suggest I might then be able to relate - that doesn't make it special. Maybe because rap does nothing for me. I usually can't stand it. The vocabulary alone is dire - "fuck, shit, nigga" all over the place. Each to their own I guess.

Well... if you read up to that point you would also have read "is the key to the future for both children and adults alike" - and you've only addressed the kids bit. I think the silly craze has died down a bit in the UK, but a few years ago we were subjected to such excitement as the news highlighting activities like c level execs doing coding classes in their lunchbreaks - 10 o'clock news?! This may have been about the same time as the BBC microbit was produced - I've heard nothing of that recently either. Easiest way to confirm it was a silly craze is to watch peak daft hysteria disappear into the distance.

It was the lack of basic keybindings that resulted in me never getting going with it. Everytime I wanted to do "trivial thing" I was expected to write a script. Too much yak shaving.

Western countries talking about the benefits of immigration and multiculturalism - but when those immigrants are educated or skilled the west is robbing the poor countries of their only hope. This is why visas are better than residency/citizenship - the poor country person spends a few years in the advanced country then returns to the poor country with improved skills and knowledge.
