I used to use Pragmata, but have since switched to Iosevka. It's similar in width and also supports ligatures.


xcape in Linux for this.


I assume it's because 1) it's not really needed, and 2) it prevents shady packages from executing scripts as root.


Is this from experience? I've switched back to regular vim from neovim because of platform support, but I've never had stability issues when I did use neovim.


Yes, it's from experience. I'm maintainer of https://github.com/SirVer/ultisnips snippet plugin for vim, and I'm often see issues when people can't get it work under nvim due nvim internal issues.


Available in Canada too.


FYI, the display size filter is wonky. Filtering up to 13" ignores 13.3" when it should probably include it.


> Filtering up to 13" ignores 13.3" when it should probably include it

Your definition of "up to 13", includes the higher number 13.3? I hope you aren't a programmer.


You think that users always want clear, mathematically valid filtering criteria on searches? I hope you aren't a programmer.


    Filtering up to 13" ignores 13.3" when it should probably include it.
Hmm... should it? Im not sure. Would love to see a poll on this.


Poor GP post is going gray, but I kinda agree. 13.3 should probably make the <13 cut, just as 14.9 should make the >15 cut. The slider is limited to whole numbers, so it might make sense to round the display's actual diagonal to the nearest integer before applying the user's criteria.


I think it is better to change the interface so that the choice is labelled <13.3 rather than <13.


I'm assuming "high DPI screens" was the intention.


Yes, sorry.


I don't disagree, but burden of proof.


Also adds Powerline symbols, which is great. Some of the patched ones don't work well. I'll try this new one alongside Input Mono which is my current monospace font of choice.


The costs include TWO new cars and a ton of other miscellaneous fees. I'm sure that the point being made is valid to some extent, but the calculations are way out of proportion.


This entire thing shows just how terrible people are at figuring out the math.

1. All told, he calculates $12,000 in depreciation costs him $30,500, because he inexplicably adds a new car at the end of the year to his costs.

2. If the manufacturer recommends an oil change every 5,000 miles, they also recommend one every six months regardless of mileage. So two of those oil changes are "free", but he still gets to deduct them from taxes I would guess.

3. He figured out he forgot to include insurance, but then didn't take the time to include it. He has to pay for insurance anyway, but will now get to deduct from taxes. The only real cost here will be the increase in his premiums when his insurance company figures out what he's doing.

4. People chiming in that you should only drive for Uber part time. The profit per mile is probably worse for part time driving, but it certainly isn't better.

5. One guy seems really upset that he used 94,900 miles to do the calculations, since this is nearly an impossible number of miles to drive in a year. It doesn't matter. If it takes him two or three years, the numbers work out basically the same because he is really basing them all on mileage, not time.


>4. People chiming in that you should only drive for Uber part time. The profit per mile is probably worse for part time driving, but it certainly isn't better.

Some times of day are much more profitable than others because there are a lot more people taking rides, so there's less time spent waiting and shorter distance between each ride.


He's putting 95k miles a year on the vehicle with his assumption (which tends to be conservative for the transportation industry, a car service guy mentioned to me once his black cars tend to accrue 150k/200k miles a year, since "you don't make much money by keeping it parked").

There aren't a lot of vehicles which you can buy used, put 95k miles a year, and end up with reliable vehicle 12 months later. You basically trade up initial investment cost vs subsequent maintenance cost.

Also, if he has good credit, I could see how automakers' aggressive 0% financing could result in a lower monthly payment for a new car than a used vehicle (since no one will finance a used car at 0%).


The OP also fails to take into account the utility of having a vehicle. It's not like you will not be using your car for personal errands.


The cost needs to be decomposed into two pieces: consumption and investment. These two are very often conflated when discussing home ownership.
