Philip K. Dick: Ubik, Flow My Tears The Policeman Said, A Scanner Darkly, etc. too many to count (many more than twice)
William Gibson: everything at least twice
Neal Stephenson: Snow crash (three times, I think)
Clifford D. Simak: City
H. P. Lovecraft: everything at least twice. There is a French compilation of The Dream-Quest of Unknown Kadath, The Silver Key, and Through the Gates of the Silver Key that I've read countless times. I've used two editions and I'm at my third.
Maurice G. Dantec: Babylon Babies (three times)
Possibly many others.
- The split view is a special looking tab you can come too easily. - You can have several split views in the same window. - Selecting what tab you want in the split view is much cleaner than tearing off tabs into windows. - No conceptual switch between "tab" and "window".
Filtering out the negativity only leaves you with useless positivity.
It's probably a good thing that you build this but there definitely are deeper issues at play, here.
> Or is it deliberately done because it is cheaper?
Well, of course it is.
> Why not have these in France proper giving jobs to French people?
Because you would have to pay them French wages, which would make no economical sense. If anything, the fact that most of that industry is abroad probably makes it easier to pass such a law.
The call centers themselves are in Morocco but the calls never come from +212.
I've been logged out of my personal GitHub account for months, actually… and that's probably a good thing: more outdoors, more photography, more drawing, more reading, etc.
To each their own, I guess.
jjjllllljjh is just as bad as <Down><Down><Down><Right><Right><Right><Right><Right><Down><Down><Left>. There are much better ways to move around and touch-typists and non-touch-typists would be better off learning them instead of obsessing over hjkl: :help motion.txt.
Insisting so much on hjkl is silly. No one is using an ADM-3A in 2026, so the official documentation should let users use the more intuitive cursor keys and downgrade hjkl to what they have always been since vi: __ham-fisted alternatives to the cursor keys__.
I think that's more or less when I lost faith in humanity.
It can somehow be excused in cheap models because new versions are generally incremental evolutions, which would make proper integration of the touchscreen harder/more expensive. But not in a brand new model of a luxury brand.
