Run through the tutorial a couple times, so you learn the basics. Once you've internalized them, then start exploring the plugin ecosystem. A lot of people dive right in to customizing their vim, completely reinventing the wheel or copy/pasting configs without understanding what they do.

https://vimways.org/ is also a great resource. 'Death by a Thousand Files' in the 2018 edition is one of my favorite vim articles.

I want to clarify that I don’t think drew is being dishonest here. I’ve never heard this requirement nor been asked my party affiliation in a general election. Primaries - yes.

> The voter approaches their table, and gives their name and party affiliation.

I’ve voted in PA for 20 years and have never once been asked my party affiliation. This is all in Philadelphia, so maybe other counties are different? This seems sketchy. Even more so than the cop, who likely didn’t expect anyone to challenge him.

Portacle worked really well for me on Windows 10, while learning Common Lisp. It's a nice base of settings that can be esiliy expanded upon. Vanilla Emacs was a nightmare. Once I got comfortable with Portacle, I swapped out the emacs folder with the a v28 build for much better performance. Much better than Space/Doom Emacs (on Windows).

Not necessarily related, but I’m subscriptioned and incremental-purchased out. Any time I see “In-App purchase”, I immediately skip the app.

Growing up in Philly, we had the golden voice of Harry Kalas and his booth partner, Ritchie Ashburn. They made it feel like you were watching the game with your favorite uncles.

They’re both gone now, and the new TV crew is ok, but their radio announcers, Scott Franzke and Larry Andersen are great. They’re funny, have a deep knowledge of the game, and they know when to let the game breath a little. Baseball and radio are such a great combination, when done well.

And yet he attended Harvard, until acting picked up. You also kind of reinforced the actual point he was making - the preppy douchebag didn’t actually understand the material he was quoting. Rather, he had just memorized a bunch of stuff, which without comprehension, provides little value.

A cult of personality. https://mobile.twitter.com/MJB_SF/status/1298113027737231360

I'm a (neo)vim user that's been playing around with various Lisps lately. CL and Scheme interaction is worlds ahead in Emacs, but even with evil-mode, I'm having a hard time. There's lots of places where it just stops working, and I have to remember Emacs bindings. Emacs 27 and 28 are more responsive, especially on Windows, but vim actions are near instantaneous.

A cool project I stumbled across is Aniseed[0], which thanks to Neovim's Lua bindings, lets you control neovim with Fennel. I haven't done anything noteworthy yet, but for the first time it actually seems like it would be fun to write my own plugins.

Exactly! It’s very, very difficult to focus for extended periods of time when your kid gets up and tries to walk away from their class every 10 minutes. Or wants a snack, to talk or play, because you now encompass the entirety of their social life.

My freshman exposure to VMS was for an assembly class. The course also seemed to double as a history of computing. This was back in the early 00’s, for reference.

> I could telnet and have a REPL, which could be used to replace functions on the fly

I thought you had to restart a scheme’s REPL. Is that just a limitation of Racket?
