I had to check I wasn’t on The Onion.

“I know what will break our law professor strike! I’ll hire the students who did poorly in their class to take them to court! That’ll show em!”

…and…

“I’ve got a great idea boys. Let’s get even with Prof. Smith for giving us bad grades in law classes. We will take them all to court to prove we deserved an A+!” (Narrator: They did not.)

…and…

”Let’s see who can last in court longer, us with no access to new legal talent due to the strike, or them with their combined centuries of legal experience!”

I love this. This is so rich.

Wow. Fuck everything about this. Clean water is a human right.

You know it’s not that easy right.

It absolutely is. The “how” is hard. The “what” is something we all should have learned in kindergarten.

what is the government supposed to do?

Spend money on getting clean water to living humans. Ask for help. Spend more money. Ask for more help. Focus on the problem until it is solved.

Python is dynamically typed by default, but lots of Python is statically typed.

But that’s not compiled, not to binary at least.

Well…sort of.

• Python ByteCode
• Can Python be compiled?

(Everything is weirder than it seems at first glance.)

Lol. The people downvoting your comment need to get good.

Python with MyPy.

(Almost any language can meet those criteria, with enough shenanigans.)

Exciting stuff!

I’m particularly happy to hear about the progress toward saving in multiple sizes at once.

I say supposedly because I think 95% of users don’t have a threat model that justifies the extra security really.

Does street cred with my Cybersecurity peers count as a threat model?

I’m definitely one of the users of GrapheneOS that you’re talking about. My threat model is “this is fucking cool!”

Also, the grass is always greener on the other side. I want a Fair phone.

Another way to read a lot of adversarial code is digging into the Metasploit payloads.

There’s no easy answers.

Your instinct to keep the streams uncrossed is good.

I find that it at least got easier after I started to think about this as I created things.

Incidentally, this is a perfect example, because the automotive industry ran a series of ad campaigns to change public sentiment after cars got more common and children and elderly citizens started dying in the streets.

Nintendo is working equally hard to change public sentiment against the innocent.

Shit. I didn’t think this through well enough. Can I change my answer to yours?

But if ctrl+f doesn’t let me type a search term then I’m going to scream

It’s been awhile since I’ve bothered to remap a key in Vim, but adding this to .vimrc should do it for you:

nnoremap <C-f> /

I started with a bunch of these to let me keep using existing muscle memory while training new.

Exactly. So there’s no way to measure the exact egg that was first born to a species we would not recognize as a chicken.

(Edit: Warning: Only bullshit meant to amuse and fascinate follows. I’ve been watching too much “SmartyPants” on DropOut.tv, where they try to make each-other laugh with serious sounding silly presenations.)

Further, we might each choose a different arbitrary egg and declare that eggs parent “not a chicken”.

But for this question, that doesn’t have to matter.

If we can all agree that something in the ancestry of the modern chicken was not a chicken, and agree that it was likely still birthed from an egg, then we can conclude that that egg came first.

Even if we cannot agree about which exact egg hatched into the first chicken, or which exact animal was the first chicken, we can agree on their relationship such that we can agree that any selected “first chicken egg” came before any selected “first chicken” to be born from it.

The hardest part of this proposition is whether we can agree that the first chicken was born inside an egg. I propose that it must have been, by our own definitioms, because we widely agree that chickens are born from eggs. Not by any intrinsic property, but simply by our accepted definition of the word “chicken”.

So any hypothetical chicken-ancestor we choose as the “first chicken”, but not born from an egg, we should not be willing to call “first chicken”, after all.

So we must proceed forward in time from that failed choice of “first chicken” until something sufficiently chicken-like is born from an egg. Then we can call that animal our “first chicken”, and examine it’s relationship to “chicken eggs”. We will, by our method of searching, always then find that the “chicken egg” that our “first chicken” hatched from, came first.

Yeah. After that everything can be done with !sh.

They really knew. All of their advertising materials are a hilarious delight.

The mayor of Uranus has a huge (statue of a male chicken) cock. They’re fond of doing television bits to talk about how visitors should experience it.

I think I get what you are intending to imply by the word “intuitively”; it’s that it eventually becomes as reflexive and fluid as touch-typing itself.

Exactly like that!

It’s also another source of the many “I can’t exit Vim” jokes, because it is now genuinely disorienting for me to try to edit text without Vim key bindings.

Gosh you make it sound almost like you play Vim like an instrument more than use it…!

That’s a great analogy. It does very much feel that way.

Honestly that sounds cool ^_

It is pretty cool.

Wether it’s really worth the learning curve is probably unique to each person that tries it. But for folks who need to edit a lot of text a lot of the time, it’s pretty great.

It’s intuitive if your previous editor was ed(1) and you’re using an ADM-3A-like keyboard.

Exactly! Ha!

Nice.

I’ve been using Vim daily for about 20 years, it saves me 30 minutes at a time regularly.

I’m approaching break-even on the learning curve!

I’m kidding…mostly.
