Uhh wait, but Vader is younger than Padme!

Organized religion.

Nothing comes even remotely close.

Well, to be honest the ruble has been sucking for a while:

However, it now sucks more.

I'd recommend a new launcher. Lawnchair is totally free. I personally use Nova Launcher (paid). Both give you the option to have the buttons back.

Holy shit, came here to say that. Nothing compares to the pain of having a tube inserted in your urethra all the way down to the bladder, and as the tube is turned (it's a camera) it hits the sides of the bladder and it starts to bleed, and it burns like nothing I've felt before.

Go

It's like C with better syntax and without memory management annoyances. It also comes with a decent standard library and making concurrent programs is a breeze. As a bonus it generates static binaries which, granted, are big but in most cases can be copied to any other Linux workstation and executed directly.

Unfortunately, I only had limited interactions with him. I was the lead on a project that needed a few things from his team, and we had a number of meetings due to that.

From my limited contact, he seemed like a chill guy. Never made any unreasonable assumptions and had a technical view on how to solve problems.

I'm not a Biden superfan either but I think people need to be aware of the reality. I have kids that don't feel like voting because "Biden does not excite them". While he doesn't excite me either, it's important to understand that not voting for Biden is essentially a step in the direction of the "other guy", which happens to me MUCH MUCH WORSE than Biden.

It's naive to think that you can go from a to z without going through b, c, d, etc... We don't vote for the ideal candidate, we vote for one that at least seems to be pointing in the right direction and has a chance to win.

Also remember that this whole "both sides are the same shit, so why vote" idea was spread around exactly to discourage people from voting. It's key to be mindful of that.

Man, I'm sad 😔.

I knew him personally (we worked for the same company at a point in time, although very different departments). I'm also a heavy vim user.

We once were in the same meeting where the unsuspecting meeting chair was taking nodes in emacs org-mode. Most of other meeting members were not geeks, so nobody knew who Bram was. I said "Bram, look at this, they're taking notes in emacs just to piss you off", to which he responded "yeah, and it is horrible...." 😁

Farewell and :wq

Ask around the table who has fast reflexes. Get a $10 bill, scrunch it a bit and put it on the table (a bit like a ball). Ask the person to position their hand some 4 inches above the bill, palm down. Then, position your hand much higher (1.5ft) also face down and bet that person that you can grab that bill before they do.

It's misleading because of the distance but if you're just normal fast by the time they react you'll already have the bill in your hands.

Even worse: the nonsense of alfalfa in California. All the residential use accounts for only 15% in this state and most of it does not come from aquifers.

Now, Alfalfa is cultivated to be sold as cattle/horse feed to foreign countries and wastes a ton of water. Same for almonds and other "boutique" crops that don't contribute in any way to the end of hunger and fill the pockets of few with money at the expense of public water.

For command line sync to the cloud you can use rclone. It's FOSS and works with many different cloud providers.

For a constant sync experience you can use insync. It's closed source and requires a license though, but works reasonably well.

Sorry for the lack of direct links since I'm on the phone.
