Sometimes life just throws you a curveball that means you have to relocate/not relocate/give up work entirely to look after a family member

"My apologies, but I won't be able to start this position due to personal issues." And congrats. I'd do exactly the same thing. Employers won't hesitate to burn bridges so why should you try to keep them built?

Spent the last few hours working with someone to get this cash advance/point of sale machine working. Last one just up and died, so the company sent a new one out, from a much newer series. We've been trying a few ports, different switch port and nothing from it. I can see the port light up, but no mac address. User mentions that the machine looked different, and sends me a picture of it. The device ONLY has a setting for wireless. It ships with a usb dongle for wired, but nothing.

First company deserves nothing from you, go after what you want.

A password reset ticket came in this evening. From some Russian. For the email address connected to my long abandoned World of Tanks account. That he popped the lovely password on. Hope he enjoyed the hour or so of tier 8 fun he got from it before I booted him.

Almost had to put in a ticket this morning. I was having some weirdness on my work MacBook and decided to reboot to clear up anything. On the login screen, the input lag was HORRENDOUS. Stalling and dropping characters, pointer getting hung up, etc. Makes it difficult to login at least. Gave it a bunch of time to settle and it never did, so I did the "remove everything attached one by one" troubleshooting path and as soon as I unplugged the USB-C hub that was connected everything smoothed out. Welp, right to the trash with you, piece of poo poo. I'll use something else to charge my touchpad.

lol the other day I had a long compile fail because somehow inside of vscode I had a typed a random :wq. In my defense I had multiple embedded terminals also running, but that one was annoying.

I'm not sure how someone would liken using vim keybindings to limiting yourself. Unless they've never used vim before.

Sywert of Thieves posted:I'm not sure how someone would liken using vim keybindings to limiting yourself.  I am not using this. You are almost certainly also not using this. If you're a keyboard nerd you might be using a 60% board that resembles this at a distance, but almost every key outside of the basic QWERTY set is in a different place, a few symbol pairings are changed, and most of the special keys are just plain different. I'm not arguing against the efficiency of a keyboard-based interface, but one could easily make a case that a specific set of bindings that were designed around this keyboard would not necessarily be ideal for anything with a modern layout. I have never heard someone make a case for using vim bindings outside of vim that didn't boil down to "well I had to learn vim for $reason, and since I already knew it..." which isn't a bad reason for that person but also isn't a good reason for anyone else to start using them. Personally find modal editors frustrating and prefer the way GUI OSes handle keyboard shortcuts using modifier keys, but that's another argument. For those who like the modal style I can understand the appeal in a vim-like interface, just don't understand why so many people act like the exact vim bindings are the best possible way to operate an editor.

I agree with all those points, but I also like how I can move the cursor without grabbing the mouse, or moving my hand over to the cursor keys and pressing ➡️ three dozen times. Learning vim certainly isn't for everyone, but if you're already (forced to be) using it, you might as well learn to use it well.

I had a professor for a programming class that used vim (or vi, not sure which) instead of slides, to do his lectures (and I mean he coded in real time, not just navigating around existing files). He absolutely flew around the editor, it was a sight to behold. If most of my time coding were spent typing, I might bother to learn.

A friend of mine used to tell tales of an ancient keyboard that has a magical COKE BOTTLE key on it.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space-cadet_keyboardquote:Many keys had three symbols on them, accessible by means of the shift keys: a letter and a symbol on the top, and a Greek letter on the front. For example, the G key had a "G" and an up-arrow ("↑") on the top, and the Greek letter gamma ("γ") on the front. By pressing this key with one hand while playing an appropriate "chord" with the other hand on the shift keys, the user could get the following results:
