What freaks me out is how the hands are depicted on the statue. It’s eerily similar to the Moai statues of Easter Island [1]. I’m not sure what to make of it.

You can always use `gj`/`gk` instead of `j`/`k` to move down/up a visual (soft-wrapped) line. If you find it inconvenient, you can always remap bindings to work however you like [0]. You can even limit the mapping to specific file type (e.g. markdown).

As for copying to other formats, I stick to 80-character line length limit, so when I need to copy markdown text somewhere else I simply copy it from a rendered markdown document.

Dude, that's a beautiful summary not only of the video but of the entire productivity cult.


In Fastmail you can choose to only display images for emails that are in your contacts. Proxy is just another layer of protection for when you actually want to see the images.


For the last few years I've been trying to switch to DDG since I have already stopped using all Google services except search and maps. Until recently I was more often satisfied with Google results than DDG. Something has drastically changed in the Google's search algorithms in the last year or so and now I'm fully switched to DDG, as it gives me better results than Google, even for the basic search.

Sometimes I still try Google when I don't find useful results in the DDG but more often than not, there are no useful results in Google either.

Still, I don't know what should I do with Google maps, as I use it to find local businesses and when they are open. I don't use it for navigation at all, it's more like an address book for me. Haven't found a viable alternative yet. It's especially hard since I'm in a country that doesn't have good coverage in either Apple maps nor OSM.


Slack seems to have some issues because of that - I'm not sure if anyone is receiving messages, as it became completely silent for the last 15 minutes or so.


Sending and receiving messages works here, but editing them does not, it throws an error. Statuses such as "calling" also do not seem to be updated any longer.

Edit: Restarting Slack does update the edited messages.

Edit 15:24 CET: Slack is back up.


Same: only normal text seems kinda working

- edits failing or working with big lag;

- "Threads" view slow;

- can't emoji-react;

- can't upload images;

- people also say they can't join new channels.


I fail to understand how a big player like Slack can be impacted this way by a failure in a single AZ in a specific AWS region. But at least the main feature (sending and displaying messages) is still working.

Uploading images doesn't work for me.


New messages seem to be ok for me, but editing old ones and uploading images both seem to be broken right now.


I can't edit messages, nor create channels. Messages are only received with a several minute delay.


Seems like a great improvement over the latest models (since 2015). Still, I'll wait until they fix issues with virtualization. I don't know how virtual machines will perform on the M1 but I doubt it will match performance on PC Linux machines.


I'm a software engineer and use UML (specifically PlantUML) to produce diagrams for complex algorithms but I treat it more as a diagram tool than anything else.


Not an expert, but as far as I understand it, both, i.e. atoms are ("physical") manifestations of (probabilistic) quantum fluctuations.

If I'm wrong, it would be great if someone could ELI5.


I hope somebody weighs in because ever since I read that matter is just quantum field excitations I've lost all intuition about what reality is. Everything seems to be nothing.


Learn about the quantum eraser experiments and your jaw will drop.

Oh wow. It's weirder than I thought.


I'm going to lean towards everything being nothing, with everything together being a giant illusion.

But, well, I'm having one of those days. :(


This scene from The Sopranos addresses this idea beautifully: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QFDq985HvPk

"Everything is everything."


It looks like a simple tagging system with extra steps. Pretty much all modern blogs and social networks have tags/hashtags. You can also refer to other posts with links.

Here the same idea is applied to notes, and I'm pretty sure it's already been explored before (e.g. Bear app).

I feel like someone is trying to give a fancy name to an ordinary thing, so it would look like a fancy, innovative thing.
