_blz2··on [dead]
First they say healthcare is expensive because of the research costs involved, why does healthcare research also require govt funding too?

You're right, censorship is same as lack of censorship.

_blz2··on Git cheat sheet [pdf]
Read once here, the best cheat sheet is one you create yourself. In my case, with fish shell or bash history search with fzf, I've effectively created a cheat sheet of commands I frequently tend to use with working examples. Seems to be working for me so far.
_blz2··on Zellij: A terminal workspace with batteries included
No, it shouldn't.

_blz2··on Zellij: A terminal workspace with batteries included
Most of the problems with zellij people have initially can be fixed if they write the config file from bottom up..just comment everything out and you'll get to your desired config in 15 minutes.

Use the 'clear-defaults=true' option for each mode and build the config.

E.g.resize mode for me looks like this

  resize clear-defaults=true {
        bind "Esc" { SwitchToMode "Normal"; }
        bind "h" { Resize "Increase Left"; }
        bind "j" { Resize "Increase Down"; }
        bind "k" { Resize "Increase Up"; }
        bind "l" { Resize "Increase Right"; }
    }

Normal mode:

  normal clear-defaults=true {

        // Quit/detach
        bind "Alt x" { Quit; }
        bind "Alt d" { Detach; }

        // Switch modes
        bind "Alt p" { SwitchToMode "pane"; }
        bind "Alt r" { SwitchToMode "resize"; }
        bind "Alt t" { SwitchToMode "tab"; }
        bind "Alt s" { SwitchToMode "scroll"; }
        bind "Alt m" { SwitchToMode "move"; }

        // new pane or resize pane
        bind "Alt n" { NewPane; }
        bind "Alt >" { Resize "Increase"; }
        bind "Alt <" { Resize "Decrease"; }

        // move between panes (moves tabs if at the last pane)
        bind "Alt h" { MoveFocusOrTab "Left"; }
        bind "Alt j" { MoveFocus "Down"; }
        bind "Alt k" { MoveFocus "Up"; }
        bind "Alt l" { MoveFocusOrTab "Right"; }

        // swap layouts
        bind "Alt {" { PreviousSwapLayout; }
        bind "Alt }" { NextSwapLayout; }

        bind "Alt 1" { GoToTab 1; }
        bind "Alt 2" { GoToTab 2; }
        bind "Alt 3" { GoToTab 3; }
        bind "Alt 4" { GoToTab 4; }
        bind "Alt 5" { GoToTab 5; }
    }
_blz2··on Tmux is worse-is-better
Zellij is an order of magnitude better than tmux. Main issue with tmux was that it always messed up my TERM.
_blz2··on Alacritty – A fast, cross-platform, OpenGL terminal emulator
wezterm + ssh + zellij on remote machine has been working like a charm for me.
_blz2··on 30% of Children Ages 5-7 Are on TikTok
The question was, in all earnestness, do you really believe children reading books has the same detrimental effect on a child's development as social media and phones do?
_blz2··on 30% of Children Ages 5-7 Are on TikTok
In all earnestness, do you think reading books has the same effect as doom scrolling on tiktok?
_blz2··on 30% of Children Ages 5-7 Are on TikTok
just maybe 5-6 years ago, attempts to regulate the time spent online by ones kids was met (on forums like *eddit and hackernews) with a sarcasm filled 'WiLl nO oNe tHinK oF tHe Kids' mockery and then pointing to the advent of books/newspapers/ipods etc having similar effects on society. Lol, techies are probably worse than the average person when it comes to figuring out how a society should function

_blz2··on Violent crime is dropping fast in the U.S. – even if Americans don't believe it
Good to see this article flagged. Next time I see someone getting beat up, will make sure to remind him NPR says he should change his beliefs.

_blz2··on SEC has not approved Bitcoin ETFs [fixed]
it wasn't hacked I think, more like another blue check account impersonating it tweeted that out. This is the official account @SECGov tweeting out fake news.
_blz2··on Wealthiest Californians are leaving the state. It's bad news for the economy
Yes it's quite worrisome indeed. highest state tax, most mismanaged budget, welfare black hole, high living expenses aren't enough to remind an average californian how futile their existence is. More property taxes will build some character.
_blz2··on Effective Neovim: An Instant IDE [video]
LazyVim the distro is different from lazy.nvim the package manager. Both are written by folke and are excellent. Not sure why parent comment says these are extra layers of complexity. LazyVim is written in a way you can selectively disable or enable the plug-ins it uses. I can't imagine why 80% of these plug-ins would ever make their way into neovim core.
_blz2··on Home schooling's rise from fringe to fastest-growing form of education
People are making a choice for their kids, whether they want the after effects of religious or public school 'brainwashing'. For many, its a clear cut choice, one way or the other.

_blz2··on Tech workers now doubting decision to move from California to Texas
Calling someone else a dickhead for your mental issues ironically makes you a dickhead.
_blz2··on Tech workers now doubting decision to move from California to Texas
Why are they dickheads?
