Yup! I was thinking basketball where once the shot clock no longer matters you stand at the top of the key dribbling and if anyone tries to steal it you pass to the corner

I don’t understand this sports metaphor but that’s on me for chiming in on a British community discussion of a British celebrity that I do in fact no a little bit about. The good news is you can tell me its from basically any sport y’all like on the isles and I’ll be like “wow so fascinating”

After all these years any time a company with a poor product buys a company with a good product, I’ve stopped assuming the poor product will become more like the good product

Did I do it? Or did I fundamentally misunderstand the question

How do we rewild academia? Like I feel like this sounds like me being a JAQ off, but like, actually. I want academia to be rewilded. I don’t know how to do that. I want to talk to someone about how to do that

I get my best results with either Duckduckgo or with Searx. Neither run their own index but the independent index searches I’ve tried have been straight up ass. It seems right now the best thing you can do is simply escape the curated personalized results bubbles

I’m going to give what I’ve realized newer folks to Vim think is a scorching hot take: VimL is nice. Theyre the same editor commands you use in your day to day life, even if you’re using NeoVim + Lua, just all written out in a file.
That said, using NeoVim + Lua makes it far easier to organize your config, which also makes it easier to write more complex configs. It’s like the difference between building a shed around back for your home office vs building a cathedral. Its fine to work in a shed, but once you know you can build a cathedral, you’re kinda tempted to just up and do it

VS Code + vim plugin is sooo slooow. I’m happy it works for you but I can’t wait to finish on boarding my onboarding buddy so I can go back to vim where I belong

- Comment on Let your dreams be memes 8 months ago:
Academia is a scam and in a lot of ways the only reward for locking yourself into it is the opportunity to tell young people to just follow your narrow path to success. And I’m not saying everyone in academia is a trying to scam students, I mainly mean that PhDs lack objectivity on how the world works because they’re so locked into their weird little corner of the world and view of as fine and normal

Celebrate the things you have and enjoy more than the pursuit of new possessions. It is an excellent fountain pen
- Comment on What is your job interview ritual? 9 months ago:
Hackerrank is a huge joke for so many reasons. I would rather hire a Dev whose biggest project thus far is an arduino project with 6 stars on github than looking at someone’s hacker rank

I mean don’t bother with jobs that ask you about esoteric programming challenges or nonsense brain teasers

- Comment on Signal is Flawed, Why XMPP is Amazing! (new animated video) 9 months ago:
In addition to what inaccuracies people here have pointed out, remember how hard it was to get people to adopt Signal when it was easy? How are you going to get people to adopt XMPP. I love XMPP, but I’m never gonna get my girlfriend or parents to get on board for that

- Comment on [VERGE] Microsoft is unbundling Teams from Office in Europe to address regulator concerns 9 months ago:
Good. We have teams on our work machines because its company policy everyone have MS Office installed (regardless of whether their work function demands its usage) and as a result everyone at our company is forced to have teams installed despite us paying for an enterprise Zoom license

- Comment on A quarter of Brits want a ban on fake grass 11 months ago:
The only arguments against fake grass are that it doesn’t look nice, and it isn’t made from sustainable materials. The arguments for fake grass include that it is low maintenance (negating some of the environmental impact), and that it is much better for people with accessibility needs.
Meanwhile, grass lawns require lots if maintenance (not good at all for the environment), aren’t good for people with accessibility needs, and look boring and unvaried. Meanwhile the upside for a grass lawn is it looks traditional. To that I say, screw tradition. Grow clover, wildflowers, moss, and edible plants in your yard. These NIMBY brit-karens fan fuck off

- Comment on New rules for bots on lemm.ee & Lemmy programming stream 11 months ago:
The bots that duplicate over every single comment also aren’t useful, IMO. The comment sections for those posts are so full of bot comments that a human user won’t see any opportunity to create an engagement hook. And if another human DID comment, its so lost in the noise that no one will probably see it or respond. Further, since votes aren’t replicated over, horrible odious comments that got voted into oblivion get copied over with equal weight as good comments
