can you elaborate? Heavy vim user here, have considered using emacs in vim mode to quell a decades long nagging curiosity. Just need a compelling nudge.
I don't know how much this applies to everyone else, but the ability to display images inline is really nice for notetaking. I cannot write properly, so org-mode (a notetaking tool that can export to a variety of formats) with embedded rendered latex equations makes it really easy to take notes and write things up in a plaintext format without needing to export every 30 seconds to view equations. The ability to embed code that can actually run is also very nice.
I hate USB-C. Hi. I do a lot of woodworking and the port easily clogs with sawdust and lint. It was very easy to clean it each day when I had a lightning connector, a common toothpick would suffice.
Now I have to purchase specialized non-marring micro tool scrapers to clean the port without damaging it. The scrapers break after a few cleanings, so this is an ongoing monthly recurring cost. Yeah I can charge wirelessly, but I still don’t want sawdust in my phone hole after a day of ripping wood.
Finally someone with an argument. I do hear why you dislike it, most people seems to do it without any reason... As it was said by someone else you might be able to cover it up somehow, either a rubber plug, or 3d print a small strip of plastic and put it in your case.
I do ranch work in a place with a lot of iron in the soil. I often have these sand sized grains of dirt in my port. But I had it in a lightning days as well. I just hate ports.
Before MagSafe, this used to kill phones. Now my son has a phone without a port, but it’s not dead.
Those ports are most of the time, at least in the android land IDK about iphone, on daughter boards and easy to replace. Even though in a perfect world this should not happen, still it is possible to do without too much of a hastle
Most of phone repair parts available to consumers are factory leaks. They are scraps and/or stolen stocks. They only exist because law enforcement in China is still, sort of strategically left, lacking. They are destined to go away as time goes by and/or parts are standardized and/or parts supply are legalized and/or mandated.
This seems like the ideal use case for those 'rugged' phone cases with flaps over the ports, no? Not ideal, but certainly a lot easier than having to clean gunk out of the port constantly.
Yep that is annoying. There are USB-C magnetic charge adapters. It will prevent shit from getting into the slot, and easy to charge magsafe style. And of course you can easily take it out temporarily to use a standard USBC charging cable.
But America is a big place. Americans living in cities probably know a first or second gen Persian, there’s lots of them everywhere. They even have a reality TV show.
Outside the urban archipelago the average person couldn’t
tell you the difference from India, Turkey. and everything in between.
Why stop with traditionally published works? Before dead-internet-day, very-nearly all forms of writing were guaranteed to be hand crafted, organic, and made with 100% Natural Intelligence.
The artificial stuff often has an odd taste, but boy it sure is quick and convenient.
You joke, but I bet every person in this forum, when presented the choice between a bot-filled forum and a guaranteed human-only* forum, they'd go with the latter.
* this is a hypothetical scenario. I don't know any guaranteed human-only digital forums.
I converse enough with LLMs for research at this point where I feel I have a good enough structure to hop on/off them to primary sources and stuff, so I don't get annoyed with them too easily.
Whereas I haven't seriously reflected on my social media consumption habits for over 15 years, and over the years I'm getting more and more annoyed at social media.
Not to be a bit misanthropic, but there's something seriously wrong with my social media usage, especially when I know there's a real human on the other side, combined with ever increasing annoyance towards commenters and just the feelings I get after reading social media.
It may be dopamine / self-help related, but no actually, I think all of that is part of the issue (discovered that in high school when it was taking off). Something about the way I'm fundamentally interacting with the medium seems so horrible and icky the more I mature.
Niche hobbyist forums are still safe, for now. There's just not enough commercial interest in petroleum lantern restoration to make it worth anyone's time to poison this particular well.
Even some larger niche hobbies like the saltwater aquarium community seemspretty safe for now (though it also helps that many forums have members who visit each other to trade corals and admire each others tanks).
On the contrary! The dead-day theorem established earlier states that an 11/22 date filter is a necessary condition for verifiable human-only content, when filtered by content-creation date.
A weaker theorem can be postulated that any such filter provides a second order sufficient condition.
This means we can filter content by account creation date, for example, by hiding all posts and comments from accounts created after the digital death event. This won’t always guarantee human-only content but certainly more than otherwise.
But then we wouldn’t be having this most definitively human-to-human conversation, right?
Yes, But an iOS app requires a helluva lot more than just the Swift language. For example, Metal has zero support so you have to use ft=cpp and disable lsp diagnostics. And you can completely forget Xcode’s wonderful Metal debugger entirely.
Otherwise swift works just like any other clang/llvm project and the tooling is basically the same.
Yes but most people are not dropping down to Metal support unless they're doing custom effects or developing a game engine. Most apps could be developed outside of Xcode just fine.
Sometimes people add to the discussion by sharing esoteric knowledge because the uncommon aberrations are interesting.
That aside, there was a larger point I was making that was lost in the forest because you poking at a tree. iOS apps are more than Swift. Metal was one example, there are plenty of other tooling components that absolutely suck to use in vim, or just missing support entirely. Bundle management, plist files, custom build phases, code signing, asset previews, canvas previews, interface builder, profiling, and unit testing UI is a bunch of stuff that has nothing to do with swift, sucks in vim, and integral to application development.
The hilarious side effect of this is that Intune/Defender on MacOS flags the multiple copies of edge for non-compliance. Maybe this is just something that happens to MSFT employees, not sure, but I’ve had to waste many hours filing for false positive exceptions because not a single Microsoft product can figure how to use a Mach-o shared dylib path
tcp_now’s maximum cannot physically reach 2^32 because the trailing zeros of that number exceeds the bit width of data type.
Therefore, tcp_now + 30000 will wrap when tcp_now is equal to 2^32 - 3000.
Your inequality sign should be strict <, otherwise the result does not follow.
It should be that if tcp_now gets stuck before (<) (2^32 - 30000) ms from boot, it would cause deadline timers for reaping TCP_WAIT would always be greater than tcp_now because it wouldn't wrap. If stuck at or after (>=) (2^32 - 30000), it would cause them to potentially be reaped faster they should be.
Actually looking at the code a bit more, it looks like calculate_tcp_clock() is run at least once per hour even when there's no TCP traffic or sockets open, so getting into the state where it never reaps TIME_WAIT sockets which would be hard to predict if this would happen.
It also looks like if tcp_now gets stuck, other tcp timers may have problems as well.
I recently switched to LazyVim and the default config in their tutorial included all the “extras”. It transformed vim into some kind of hallucinogenic kaleidoscope of an IDE with all sorts of telescoping overlays and pop-ups with a color scheme that fits well with an 8 year old girl’s princess themed birthday party. I actually screamed a little.
Not sure about the "tutorial", but I use lazyvim as base for LSPs, snacks, neo-tree and a theme matching the rest of my desktop and it seems to be fine?
nvim has a lot of "fun" plugins that you wouldn't actually use so I think you might have ran into that.
