Personally I think some people just go too far with that kind of /efficient movement/ thinking. There's nothing wrong with pressing j or k a few times, and I agree it's a waste of brain energy to think hard about how to get wherever. (I also think hjkl vs arrow keys is overrated, though I've learned to use hjkl)

The only commands I use to move vertically in vim are j, k, /, ?, ctrl-d, ctrl-u. And sometimes I just get the mouse and click.

Correlation vs causation. Does protestantism improve productivity, or did the cultures where productivity is valued highly more easily convert to protestantism?

I agree Facebook is a bad place for placing public content. Note though that it's currently a lot more bearable if you disable JavaScript for Facebook. As someone who doesn't use Facebook at all it's easy for me to keep it disabled with NoScript. Then I just see content, no popups.

Looks very useful. But it's not really procedural world generation, right? I'd call this geographical data visualisation instead. Generation would be creating new worlds with just a seed and an RNG. Was kind of hoping to see that because that was actually an idea I had for my graduation project. I eventually killed that idea because I just couldn't get a good design of how such a library would work (that would be useful in real games). It's a funny coincidence that I also wanted to make the library with a C++ core and a Unity interface.

I wonder how much the negatives of being short are caused by lower self esteem due to simply what people say and think about heights.

I'm one of the shortest people in the country with the tallest people in the world, the Netherlands. My height is 164 cm (aside: why do people tend to give their heights in imperial units? Does anyone get that?). I actually never had a problem with my height or felt bad about it when I was younger. I felt bad about plenty of other things about myself. I remember in elementary school a medical inspection where the inspector told me I'll always be short, and asked me what I thought of it, as if I'd be depressed about it. I didn't get her at all. But whenever there's discussion about it online, it's things like people saying women prefer taller men, or people who are 10 cm taller than me saying they hate being short, and people like that inspection woman that do trigger the insecurity part of my brain.

I think it's completely irrational though. As other people have posted, I think the link between health, intelligence and height is one of correlation instead of causation. And I know women's preferences are often much more diverse and different than what people tend to say and think. But still it triggers that insecurity. And I know that can really be a bad thing in itself. Maybe that's the real "shortness" problem people tend to have?
