If you own your business you likely own some of the means of production, and in some fields you can own effectively all. Anyway, that’s what “profit” means: what’s left over after you pay operating expenses.

Probably because you’re trying to claim their identity doesn’t exist?

Yeah let’s all go back to X it was so much better 🫠

Nano/micro are great for people who need a terminal text editor but don’t want to learn anything to use it.

If you do want to put some time into learning, it really doesn’t take long to get to a point of base competency in emacs or vim – less than an hour for sure to just be able to move around in the document and have a basic understanding of the editing controls.

Both are hugely deep systems that you can keep learning for years, but only at the pace that you need; most tasks can be accomplished pretty easily with a bunch of inputs, but there’s usually a much faster way if you know the shortcuts.

As for the difference, vim is more modal – you switch to editing mode, do some editing, then switch to typing mode and type. Most commands are one to three sequential button presses. For some more exotic functionality you use the command line to type a command, which has auto-complete.

On the other hand emacs is chorded, meaning you use multiple simultaneous keys to do functions, usually a modifier key like ctrl + something else. This gives you more direct power while actually typing, but IMO has a bit steeper of a learning curve, and I just personally don’t love the chorded inputs, I think they’re more work to input than the sequences in vim. But either editor will give you unprecedented power over text with minimal fuss.

I personally use Helix, which is basically just a slightly different take on Vim, as well as taking inspiration from Kakoune which is another competitor. It’s got really nice modern defaults and I like the way that Kakoune treats selections in contrast to Vim.

I like humans and human creativity and human intelligence and I think everyone using a technology that actively makes you bad at those things while spitting out crappy jumbled regurgitations of someone else’s work is not a good thing.

Make sure it has at least a few inches of clearance at the back. Also many cases/PSUs have fans on the bottom, if yours does then raising it up on some feet can really help.

OpenTTD!!!

Also Satisfactory.

Try multiplying or raising to a power. Addition works too but is slower.

All the things you mention are a thing in all three dialects lol. Gaol is just the archaic spelling, thongs does also mean flip-flops, and cunt is more and more socially acceptable in both the US & UK, though nowhere near the casual usage in AUS.

Team vim, but I’ve been using Helix instead for a year or two – it’s like if Neovim and Kakoune had a baby.

Yeah I think anyone who thinks John Wick got worse over time was probably a teenager when the first one came out. They’re all schlocky action films. The fourth one at least has some unique set pieces

For personal projects you can either just use git locally or make them source-available with a restrictive license. If you don’t even want the source to be available then why use a public repo?

It’s a tool for the owners, it’s a trap for the users. The sycophancy and malleability of the chatbots makes them not just unsuitable as replacements for therapists, they can be and often are actively harmful, validating problematic, spiraling or psychotic thought patterns.

I know that therapy isn’t accessible for everyone, but any actual human you can talk to is better than a chat bot in this context.

I would rather someone vibe code critical infrastructure with a chat bot than use it for mental health.

No one should be using a corporate chat bot to “figure out who they are”.

Chatbots? Basically nothing. Any interaction I have with one leads to spending more time verifying its output, inevitably finding many mistakes, and eventually finding a primary source for what I’m actually looking for. The best actual impact it has is forcing me to narrow down my nebulous question into what I actually specifically want, but the bot itself is contributing very little to that.

Neutral nets in general have limited real usefulness in analyzing large batches of data when other purpose-built analysis software doesn’t exist.

“AI” is a misnomer and there is absolutely zero evidence to suggest that we’re even on a path toward actual AI, sometimes called AGI, though they’re also changing that to just mean a profitable LLM which is fucking hilarious.

Any task you use a bot to do, you will become worse at that task. For mass data analysis, that’s fine, poring over reams of data is already a skill that other technology has largely obsoleted. But using it to do research, to read or write for you, or god forbid to make actual decisions and think for you, are very slippery slopes that are already causing a lot of the general public to seriously erode their basic mental capabilities.

Wow no one’s said emacs yet

Have you ever used Linux?

You seem very misinformed so I’m just providing you with resources.
