Yep. I do that same key remapping too. IIRC original suggestion was from Xah Lee

Ya I am a fan of Doom Emacs too. It is the world of Vim wrapped in world of Emacs. Best of both worlds.

How the pendulum has swung!

Rust doesn't even sport 'Class'

One reason:

Perl community spent most/all of its capital on the Perl6 debacle.

People waited for years (decades?) for Perl6 to come out. Most moved on (to Python). Perl6 turned out to be a totally different language when it did come out.

Mind you, I love Raku and use it daily but its development did cost Perl mindshare and marketshare.

Perl is a progression of that particular environment. It is a superset of shell/grep/awk/sed.

A shell command works exactly as you would expect copied literally inside a backquote. With all the other goodies of a real programming langauge.

Doing this in Python (to me atleast) seems unnatural.

Back when I smoked, a morning cigarette is a surefire way to make you want to 'go'.

Not sure what that means here..

> GNU Parallel is also based on perl

Time to rewrite it in Rust /s

:p

Perl6/Raku is my personal choice (when I can).

Python to me, is too far away from shell/unix. It is a programming language for writing applications. For the use case of writing shell scripts but in a more powerful language, perl is still the king here (or it should be. Sadly it doesn't appear to be the case. No one is using it except for die hard gray beards.)

Raku is a modern (still a big) language with kitchen sink. Again doesn't appear to be much uptake.

That is accurate even if it sounds mildly derogatory. Any kind of confrontation is very difficult for some people while it means nothing to others.

Simple example, when somebody cuts into a line in a super market, how many people actually speak up? Most of the time I see eye-rolls, angry shrugs but people just move on.

As a (suffering) guesser myself, when I have to ask something I always phrase it like 'would you be interested in doing this?' so that they can say 'no' without stress.

Instead of asking 'Would you do this for me? etc.' which I know would cause a mild-natured guesser stress.

It is also true that for some (many?) people it is very hard to say 'No'. I don't know any psychological/technical name for this but it is simply true and it is in their nature.

When asked directly, they will give in even if they don't like doing what is being asked.

'Asking' in these cases is actually exploitation (if done with prior knowledge).

Indeed.

>"Do you not have X?"

In my head it sounds belligerent and accusatory. While the other form sounds polite.

This negative phrasing to induce a positive response, may be a Japan only thing?

Seems to be fixed now :-)

Now the top result is a blurb about Kenya.

Guilty as charged :-)

Like many others (I am sure) I read the comments first and read article later (if I read).

I was responding to the informative comment about the rigorousness of Controller training. As a nervous flier myself, that made me feel a bit better.

What is amazing to me is how do Pilots stay calm when their own lives are under imminent threat?

Good to know. I am glad it is such a strenuous training/testing. It has to be, given the price of failure.

Hmm.. Are there incidents that were caused by Controller's error? (most common seem to be equipment failures, pilot errors, bad weather and bad luck with bird strikes etc.)

My thoughts as well.

I think commands could have progress but only as explicit option. I wish curl and 'docker pull' didnt spew so much text by default, filling up so many jenkins server's disks.

I use multiple mac desktops to somewhat mitigate this.

In each desktop I have a Chrome Window open with required tabs (Jira, github other required tools).

One Emacs Frame

On iTerm2 window.

I use Rectangle to quickly arranged windows. (I wish a tool existed that can recreate the desktops and all the windows exactly , after a reboot)

Ofcourse, upon a reboot, need to set this all up again :-(

Atleast Chrome remembers the windows/tabs and which desktops they belong to... That helps a lot.

So you type a few more characters and narrow it down. Space separated snippets will match any part of the path.

Intrigued by local-directory-first feature of McFly (It brings up commands you previously executed in that folder first). I tried it for a bit. But there was noticeable lag compared to FZF and also the UI was a bit shaky.

Went back to FZF (in Zsh).

I have a seven year zsh history. That may be a contributing factor for the issues ?

I sometime use a #a-text-comment at the end of long/complex command line incantation. Easy to find using fzf at a later date. Also can provide you with a quick context.

Same thing with Emacs with Projectile.

I can't believe people still using a tree view of a deeply nested project and clicking though directories and finally finding a file.

I am not willing to type more than a few characters for any file in the project. Fuzzy finding with quick narrowing FTW.

I use a trick to improve this. I too have a 7 year Shell history with Fzf and love using it as my second brain.

I put #tags at the end of long, opaque, reusable commands so that I can FZF search it quicker.

Emacs/Magit can do that sort of things easily. You can mark a region in a diff and add that to staging if you want.

Magit is probably the best chrome for Git I personally think.

I still miss my Google Desktop!

Oh.. Why _did_ I click on that ? :-(

I have tried Amythyst.

Yabai, didn't try since it wants to disable system integrity protection. Not sure if will work in locked down corporate machines.

Now back to Rectangle and arranging the windows myself in multiple desktops.

Thats cold.

Tangential: It enabled gangsters and made them rich and powerful.

Agreed. Lobbies won't let the current system go for a very long time.

If Tobacco industry can hang on, Meat industry is not going away any time soon. Also a change of this kind can come only gradually, if at all.

We can't just tell all the farmers to go and take a Python bootcamp.
