Give it some spin with your index finger. Imagine putting a coin between your index finger and thumb, heads side up, resting on your middle finger below — not too different than how most people start a coin flip. With your index finger, ro

I'm not sure if avoiding Home Manager is the right choice for everyone, but it worked well for me. Home Manager isn't necessary for declarative management of the user environment -- Nix flakes can do this, too. A long time ago, I

I think the idea is that California has plenty of solar generation during the day (or is on track to have plenty); what it needs is storage for when the sun isn’t shining. The new NEM (the Net Billing Tariff) shifts the incentives away from

Not quite. Right now, (most) California residential electric bills are entirely volumetric, meaning that you pay for what you use — if you use zero, you pay (close to) zero. Under the new system, everyone’s bill will instead have a sizable

My claim wasn't that an Income Graduated Fixed Charge would make your electric bill go down from what it currently is -- it could very well go up. My claim is that, assuming an IGFC is implemented and the marginal cost of electricity g

California is moving towards a system which would introduce a monthly fixed cost based on your income, while simultaneously decreasing the cost of electricity per kWh (see: AB 205). Heat pumps become more attractive after such a change.

I think what you're referring to in your last paragraph is a CEREC crown, but it's not always cheaper. In my case, my insurance covers a lab-made crown with a $100 copay. It takes a few days to be made, so it's slightly incon

Indeed, and this leads to another important interpretation: matrix multiplication is function evaluation. Arbitrary functions which take in vectors and output vectors can be very complex and thus difficult to reason about. A useful simplify

As a counterpoint to your example of Seattle, Republican-led Fort Worth saw it's homicide numbers increase by 59% in 2020 (even more than Seattle) despite increasing their police budget over the same period: https://www.star

It should be pointed out that you can install the nix package manager in Arch (or whatever other Linux, or macOS, etc.), so you can try out nix's declarative package management without actually switching to NixOS.

In my opinion the real downside of using <count>j and <count>k to move isn't the counting part, it's the fact that <count>k isn't a jump. That means it doesn't go into the jump list.

Sure, you can make a hotkey to launch any editor, but not every editor is as "pathologically configurable" as vim. The combination of vim being terminal-based, highly-configurable, and lightweight makes it nice to use in a varie

No galaxy brain here ;) I generally don't use counts. If I want to go down a few lines, I don't count the number of lines and use 4j or whatever, I instead use / to search for the exact place I want to move to. This feels mor

There are, but they usually rely on regex or other brittle approaches, making it difficult to write well. And currently you'll need to use different plugins for different languages (e.g., jedi for python). Treesitter builds the AST, ma

It's a good question. I'm very critical of my tools and I'm a 10+ year vim user, so I've thought a lot about this. vim's "killer feature" is its text editing language and modality. But plenty of other edit

I'm most excited for the treesitter integration and its potential to amplify Vim's "killer feature": text editing as a language. Vim's editing language feels most powerful when I'm using its text objects: &quot

There's also something ritualistic about in-person lectures -- in a good way, like having a morning cup of coffee. We know that humans are not good at multi-tasking, so there is tremendous value in a dedicated time and place to think a
