  • Vim makes it easy to edit text in complicated ways, once you’ve learned it.

    Vim is not easy to learn nor intuitive.

    It is simple and compounding.

    You might not ever edit enough text to ever need to learn a new skillset to edit text. If that’s the case, use nano.

    But if you do find yourself editing a lot of text, consider trying vimtutor.

    It takes 20 minutes and you’ll be proficient enough to match nano’s efficiency ceiling.

    You haven’t lived until some needs a knife to open something on christmas and 5 of the 6 adult males in your family are just standing there holding their pockets knives for you to choose from.







  • Dark Roasted coffee is the only way Starbucks can be Starbucks.

    Lighter-roasted coffee emphasizes origin flavors and i agree with you --generally tastes better and is more interesting.

    But you can’t sell coffee like that in tens of thousands of coffee shops and have it remotely consistent.

    Coffee growing from the same plot but on one side of a hill will taste different from the other side due to getting different quantities of sunlight. Complex origin flavors will always be the domain of small specialty coffee shops.

    Starbucks has McDonalds-like consistency serving millions of customers a day and that’s only because they emphasize the flavors they can get consistently–roast flavors.

    TL;DR The bigger the chain, the darker you have to roast. That’s just how coffee works.

    So, research shows that everyone’s voice inside their head, no matter who they are or where they’re at, is profoundly negative.

    Also, you don’t have to believe it–which is oversimplifying, but that’s the jist of it.

    It’s not at all unusual.

    The sword was a sidearm. It was a trusty companion you had on you everyday to demonstrate your wealth and power and to be drawn in your defense if need be.

    When it was time for battle, your sword would still be at your side, but in your hands would be some sort of polearm or perhaps an axe.

    Also, commonly used but often forgotten about is a falchion. It was a sidearm that looked like a sword but did not require all the training in swordsmanship to be effective. Instead of being balanced like a sword to enhance the point control, a falchion was point heavy (like a machete) and swung like a hatchet.
