Best unexpected use of the tool. I'm less impressed by the achievement than by the time and energy you used towards it. Well done!

Thanks for the effort to package together what is otherwise a pretty standard combination of tools and services.

I would have switched Emby for Jellyfin but everyone has their opinion on the matter I guess...

A company I have visited had, for some obscure reason, decided that teams should have their own fun/memorable names. Almost 2 years after implementation, every new hire's first comment was: "it's impossible to navigate the org with those names, we have no idea of what each team is doing".

I could live with funny+descriptive, but for all that is good, funny only just does not work.

HR that are completely oblivious to the idea that people have about them.

I can't imagine that's the typical HR pattern. That's certainly not better but I tend to think that they appear oblivious by design, or rather, by education.

Since HR must keep their smiling poker face and their never-promising aleays-optimistic discourse no matter what, they fake this seemingly oblivious character. I guess.

Everything has to be spoon fed and if it isn't they are paralyzed.

Fixed it for you: [...] and WHEN it isn't they LEARN.

What's so wrong about easy mode?

For me, it's hard to make good software today because the bar is actually higher, in the sense that it must be usable by a much wider audience and I can't be lazy about usability or even worse, let it unnecessarily complicated because "people should know about it or learn".

Because developer tools are increasingly polished and easily accessible without in-depth knowledge of the arcanes of the command line. And that's great to welcome more people in our field.

The downside is that once they're welcome, the climb of the learning curve is barely started.

I don't speak English natively, I am much more used to roaming when referred to telco usage abroad than when referred to its original meaning.

I doubt it's just me, but I'll be quite happy it is.

To clear out the possible confusion: it's not about cellular network roaming.

It's about the freedom to navigate freely on private land because most of Scotland is privately owned.

That's a surprising statement to read. All your examples allow for statically significant unique identification (of a person).

I think that's where the threat actually lies. I'm equally worried about traces I leave with my Visa/MasterCard than those I leave with my uncovered face or fingerprints.

The main difference being that I can easily control the traces I leave with my cards, less so the traces I leave with my ohone, and it takes a significant effort to lkit traces from my face or fingers.

Excellent. This goes straight into my list of nice APIs for student work and coding exercises. If there's any way to contribute or support, you should advertise it.

LunarVim 4 years ago

Where were you ten years ago when I asked Google for my first tutorials?

Messi or any other pro player doesn't really make a difference if it's against the average person.

Average Joe/Jane just doesn't get to touch the ball. Period.

LunarVim 4 years ago

I'm having a different perspective here. I've been using vim for 10+ years and followed closely the explosion of new plugins and the emergence of neovim.

After spending way too much time configuring my own vimrc and reading others', I'm happy I've found this community a driven package. It's better, smarter and more polished than what I could have built myself, and I like the defaults.

So, in fact, it also suits the not-so newbies who want good dedaults and openness for configuration.

I really like seeing how others use Obsidian. As an Obsidian user and a (neo)vim user, I think there's a lot of overlap in why you should invest just-enough-time to make it work for you.

Disclaimer: after 10+ years of vim and too much time customizing it, I ended up with LunarVim an I'm very happy with it.

VSCode over mRNA vaccines?

That's too obvious of a troll, please, stop here for a second, take a deep breath and reconsider. It's okay, you can let go of your past mistake, nobody will blame you.

It's cool if it drags more people into vim, but as a vim user, I'm not very impressed.

I mean, he knows some useful commands (:read, mostly) but the most time saving fraction (repeat xxx times a motion) is very basic and nnot very cleverly executed as he splits it in 2 actions.

Using a macro would have helped introduce a new concept to the new users, while completing the task in one step.

Would be an interesting vimgolf exercise though
