This could be worse, too. With more machines being identical, the same security hole reliably shows up everywhere (albeit not necessarily at the same time). Sometimes the heterogeny impedes attackers.


I switched to Helix 2 years ago after 28 years of emacs and didn't look back. My emacs config was huge, and I didn't enjoy all the tweaking I was doing to get LSPs to work the way I wanted. I had tried evil mode (and vile before that) without really getting comfortable. I think the Kakoune-style order clicked much better for me than vi descendants. Also, the multiple cursors in Helix work so much better than the equivalent emacs plug-ins. The only thing I really miss is tramp. I liked magit a lot, but jujutsu obsoleted that for me.


The US defense budget, as a percentage of GDP, has been cut a huge amount! https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/ms.mil.xpnd.gd.zs?locat...

If you don't think it makes sense to scale it by GDP (though I do), then in real terms it has gone through cycles since 1965, with definite periods of decrease, even though the overall trend is upward: https://www.johnstonsarchive.net/policy/edgraph.html


This sounds similar to Horton Hears a Who.


They exist in the same cinematic universe.


I think you can fix this with the setting "Click items to autofill on Vault view".


I think it's because Android very aggressively swaps out third-party background apps. https://dontkillmyapp.com/


I never understood why calories in == calories out was relevant when we can't know how many unprocessed calories are remaining undigested. Here's what the bots had to say: https://www.perplexity.ai/search/weight-loss-gurus-often-say...

(FYI - I stay thin by limiting calories, so I don't disagree that fewer calories causes weight loss)


This theory is not scientific (food is not energy, the body is not a machine, measurements are not precise etc.) so there is nothing rationale you can say that will convince people who believe in it to switch to something else


cico is true, but you can't measure calories in accurately and you can't be sure of calories out accurately. isn't that fun?

(in practice as you know, you just kinda do it on feel and end up restricting calories enough to lose weight. but my own intuition is that I had to aim for 100 or 200 less than my estimated BMR so the math is very fuzzy isn't it?)


I clicked once and closed the page because you can't tell me what to do (more than once).


I've been using it for a month or two on top of my work git repos. It's great, but I have a few complaints. It doesn't support creating git tags, it doesn't support git submodules, and if you ever drop a big file in your working directory that isn't already git ignored, it will be absorbed into the "index repo." Despite that stuff, it's still a better experience than git.


I had a boss who was pretty excited about CueCat. It's funny that it took another 15 years to catch on as smartphones and QR codes!
