There is a note on the linked video page about `set hidden`, but it doesn't spend much time explaining it. If we open Vim and type `:help hidden`, we get the following:
'hidden' 'hid' boolean (default off)
global
{not in Vi}
When off a buffer is unloaded when it is abandoned. When on a
buffer becomes hidden when it is abandoned. If the buffer is still
displayed in another window, it does not become hidden, of course.
The commands that move through the buffer list sometimes make a buffer
hidden although the 'hidden' option is off: When the buffer is
modified, 'autowrite' is off or writing is not possible, and the '!'
flag was used. See also windows.txt.
To only make one buffer hidden use the 'bufhidden' option.
This option is set for one command with ":hide {command}" :hide.
WARNING: It's easy to forget that you have changes in hidden buffers.
Think twice when using ":q!" or ":qa!".
Turning `hidden` on would remove the warning, you could switch away from an unsaved buffer with `:bn`.
So if you want to always work with unsaved hidden buffers floating around (view them with `:ls`!), you could add `set hidden` to your .vimrc. Alternatively, you could set up a command to automatically execute a save action every time you tried to switch away from an unsaved buffer. Notice that `autowrite` is mentioned in the help text above. Running `:help autowrite` shows:
'autowrite' 'aw' boolean (default off)
global
Write the contents of the file, if it has been modified, on each
:next, :rewind, :last, :first, :previous, :stop, :suspend, :tag, :!,
:make, CTRL-] and CTRL-^ command; and when a :buffer, CTRL-O, CTRL-I,
'{A-Z0-9}, or `{A-Z0-9} command takes one to another file.
Note that for some commands the 'autowrite' option is not used, see
'autowriteall' for that.
Hope this helps! One of the pain points of vim is that many of the defaults end up being somewhat unexpected choices. Many people get over that by just looking up someone's post online and copying in a bunch of settings. When you do that, you don't end up learning much about navigating vim and understanding the configuration process. You just end up with a new set of defaults that might also not quite be what you want. I try to keep my .vimrc pretty plain until I realize something could be better, then spend a moment to figure out how to do that and add it in.

> You can quickly jump between the active buffer and the alternate buffer using the command <CTRL-^>. Pressing it again takes you back to where you were before.
If you don't like the <CTRL-^> command for this, you could map it to something else, such as the tab key, with a line in your .vimrc:
nnoremap <TAB> <C-^>
> There's no single de-facto manager that's used by 90% of all vimmers.
Most recently updated plugins work with each of the managers. I use a handful of plugins with Pathogen, but the same plugins could be used with another manager.
However, the latest release of Vim now includes a built in plugin system, does that satisfy your need to have one blessed version?

> 20 different buffer navigations
Keep in mind, all these commands can be shortened to the smallest unique prefix. So with `:bn` and `:bp` you can go forward and backward. But if you don't like typing three characters, just sacrifice something else by remapping it in your .vimrc!

> toggling between two open files, a pretty common use case
When I am working on two files at once, I'll usually put them both up at the same time. If I have "a.txt" open and I also want to work on "b.txt" I can type `:vsp b.txt" and now I have them up side-by-side. I can switch between them with whatever command I have set up to do that.
Not really.
The protocol specifies that annotations are shared over HTTP, you can have them behind whatever kind of locks you want.
> How much private data about my browser and my host am I leaving when an annotation is created?
The specification doesn't store anything like this. But since everything happens over HTTP, the client/server you use may include things like that. Since it's a standard, you should be able to use whatever programs you wish.
There are fields specified to include things like author name, creation date, etc. It will depend on your client how they are used. They aren't required.
I can see this becoming one of those canonical pages that is still being referenced 10 years later. Being short enough to share and simple enough to understand makes this a great resource. I have tried to convey similar feelings to people who love the applications you've used as examples. Maybe this will help.
Great use of images to demonstrate your points. Many articles lately seem to just add in unrelated images for no reason.
> HTML and CSS gave developers perfect visual control over what their interfaces looked like, allowing them to brand them and build experiences that were pixel-perfect according to their own ends
I'm not sure this is quite right. It takes a ton of work to get an HTML/CSS page to display properly in every browser. I think my response is specifically related to the use of the word "perfect" -- maybe something else like "total" would be more appropriate.
All I could think of while watching the clip from Minority Report was how tired my arms would get from all that full-range motion.
I like the submitted title better than the title on the actual page. You should consider revising it!

That's just how I read it.
I'm assuming I need to change my passwords on a significant number of sites. So far none of them have alerted me to a potential breach. Would love to have a head start.

Am I upset that all that "wealth" is gone, at least until the stock bounces back? Well...yes and no. As a member of VA's Board, it's my job to worry about our stock price, on behalf of all of our stockholders. So I care about that.

I had some exposure to several of the top listed faculty at one of the higher ranked schools. It seemed like at least a couple of them genuinely cared more about how many papers their name was on in DBLP than what the papers were about.
I mainly have a hard time believing someone who is a co-author on over 40 submissions per year has time to comprehend and fully understand them all. I was also unconvinced that many of the papers were even moderately significant. It seemed like they knew exactly what to do to get a paper accepted and optimized for that.
The end result was I decided to steer away from the academic track because it did not seem like an environment I would be comfortable in.
I use tarsnap to keep daily backups of a web server with a handful of sites. I send over their content, configuration, and database backups. This isn't $$$-critical stuff so I just make a once-daily database backup and I'm fine with that. Every few months I verify one of the backups to make sure everything is still working, but it is extremely hands-off. I just don't have to think about it.
It is currently costing me about 3 cents per day. I could probably reduce that a bit with some pruning. It was 2 cents per day for a while.

I don't like the tab-to-search version in Chrome very much by comparison. There is a service called Shortmarks that aims to emulate this behavior in Chrome, but I'm not sure how I feel about using it.

I switched to Chrome about 5 years ago because Firefox was getting slow for me. Recently I am strongly considering switching back. My biggest continual annoyance with Chrome is poor searching of previous visited pages when typing partial URLs into the address bar. The main thing holding me back right now is I am wondering how this will impact me when using a Chromebook.
I'm normally a huge map fan, but I actually like it the way it is, without a map. I had this cool moment where I thought, "It doesn't matter where in the world it is, as long as it is under your budget."
I haven't figured out how to pass all the menus after clicking a destination. I typed in an airport and clicked Search Flights, but it complains that I haven't entered dates. Can't find a place to enter them.
Can I download the full transcript of a channel for safekeeping in case things are deleted in the future?
I read the abstract and found they quote their key statistic at P = 0.01. The "NHANES III" study that their data comes from has over 1000 variables. Can't you just cherry-pick a handful of "significant" variables at the P = 0.01 level, when there are 1000 variables to choose from?

Edit: About 75% of respondents at this point are from green accounts. I wonder if that will sink it off the front page quickly.
To the creator of this site:
Take into consideration the commonality between all of these:
Each of these language homepages clearly explains that they are introducing a programming language. This new racket-lang.org page doesn't. It has a huge impact on what users will think when they load the page.
The PLT Scheme homepage is leagues better than the new Racket one because it tells me exactly what it is for. Don't let yourselves go backwards.
From what I saw, it looks like a site that helps you make a variety of line drawings. Next time I need to make some line graphs, I'll check it out.
The main parts I've used in both are creating Issues and Merge Requests, and in GitLab I've accepted them and managed teams/projects.
Simple commands can be accomplished by adding a git alias. More complex commands can be just a shell script. Put it on PATH with a name like `git-something` and now you can run `git something`.
Dell Computer Ultrasharp U2415 24.0-Inch Screen LED Monitor
I purchased them from Amazon.com:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00NZTKOQI
This is a 24 inch screen in the 16:10 ratio, at a resolution of 1900x1200. It has four inputs (2x HDMI, 1x Mini Display Port, 1x Display Port). I am very happy with these monitors. I like the 16:10 ratio as it gives some extra height compared to 16:9 screens.
