Franky it's irrelevant. Penrose's insistence that the human mind isn't algorithmic in the Turing sense is born from his human insecurities. But if the human mind isn't bound in such a way, than any man-made computer ne

Changing the subject? Oh, I'm sorry. I could have sworn I was replying to you saying: > Many of us get dropped into vim by accident. >> It's not just for programmers, though. Vim is perfect for all kinds of text editin

That's your distro's problem, not vim's. There is no reason to fuck up vim just because distros are poorly configured.

If you took the modal interface away from vim, you wouldn't have vim anymore. If you don't want a modal interface, don't use vim. You may as well expect Porsche to move the 911's engine to the front.

What interactive terminal programs exit using ^C? Nano doesn't, top doesn't. There is no standard for interactive terminal programs. Furthermore ^C doesn't fit with the rest of vim's control schema, so you wouldn&#x27

Why solve a "problem" that no actual user of the software has? It's not an iphone, it isn't meant for use by the general public. Use nano if that's what you want. There's no reason to fuck up vim for people

Zuck lacks more than just charisma. He lacks social competence. He'd be more like Jeb than Carson. He falls to pieces when he gets flustered, worse than most awkward autistic teenagers in front of a crowd of judgmental peers. Shit,

>it'd be wrong to hire a dude to clip out all the ads >hire Well I'm not paying for my adblocker. What if this dude volunteers ? What if I'm doing it for my family members? This isn't a hypothetical.

Here's a digital analogy for you. Suppose I: 1) Disable my ad blocker. 2) "Open Link in New Tab" 3) Wait for my browser to finish requesting that data from the server 4) Close the tab without ever looking at it. Is that unet

When I was a kid, my dad used to rip the advertisements out of magazines as soon as they came in the mail. That's a practice I've carried on, despite getting far few magazines these days... My family also used to mute the advert

TTS is what I use. I picked up a used old kindle keyboard, one of the versions that still had the feature. I slip that into my jacket pocket when I go on walks. It's nice because you're not limited on selection. The robotic na

Unless you're an unskilled driver, driving becomes "automatic" in much the same way that riding a bike does. When you ride a bike, are you concentrating on not falling over? Maybe for the first week or so that you're l

That's a form of institutionalized hazing. Probably unethical, but I've seen behavioral science defenses of it.

"Planet" refers to points of light that have complex motion in the night sky throughout the year. Earth is below the sky, therefore Earth cannot possibly be a planet. This is just common sense people.

Doing it for profit is hardly a better excuse than following orders. Should we not hold it against Trump that he ran casinos which preyed on the intellectually and financially disadvantaged?
