I still remember the hiatus around the pirate bay . org going down back in the day. They updated the landing page on the alternative domains to include a hydra above the pirate ship where above each hydra head there was a domain name[1]. I thought that was a great comeback by the maintainers.
Those guys should get a prize for resilience alone, they put many government run services to shame. The only thing all this legal stuff seems to have done is to harden them even further.
I love that show! Jack has an infectious take on all the criminal antics! He is able to, for the most part, interview them in a non judgemental way. I fine his style clear and well produced!
Do not go there without ublock! The ads on there, especially porn ads, have gotten out of control. Who is it that's making money off of thepiratebay these days?
I would urge people to not go there at all. Their moderation is imo pretty lacking, and malware sometimes slips by. There are much safer pirate websites out there (although you should still only visit them with uBlock Origin installed)
I'm curious about something a bit different. Given a vim buffer, and picking two caret locations in it, I'd like a tool that shows only the paths to getting there with my current Vim setup (including all the plugins).
After 10 years of using vim, I rarely use L and H. For horizontal moving it's almost always F or S (vim-sneak).
More often than L and H, I use { and }, which jumps across paragraphs (i.e. blocks of lines separated by blank lines).
I've found that most of my code consists of 3-5 line blocks, and { and } feel like a nice medium-range navigation tool, because oftentimes CTRL+D jumps too far.
The downside is that both of these jumps go into the jump table, so they will clutter your CTRL+O history a bit.
When I experimented with scrolling, I found it hard not to lose understanding where I just scrolled from. What helped immensely was defining a top and bottom margin and using vim-smoothie.
> It becomes even less true once one gets to space. There height is a function of speed which means that to "catch up" something in front of you, you need to slow down.
Can you expand on this? My brain is not connecting the dots.
He is talking about orbital mechanics, rather than free space. When you are in an orbit, the shape of the orbit is determined by your speed. At every distance from the center of the object you are orbiting (such as the Earth), there is a speed that makes your orbit a circle. If you are going at any other speed then your orbit will be an ellipse instead. Too fast and your orbit rises higher above the Earth. Too slow and it dips back down closer to it. If you try to “catch up” with an object ahead of you in your orbit by speeding up you will only turn your orbit into an ellipse that gets further away from the Earth, and thus further away from the object you were trying to catch. Instead of catching it you’ll go up and over it. As Niven wrote, “forward is up, up is back, back is down, and down is forward”. It’s rather counterintuitive at first. Playing KSP can help you get a feel for it, especially once you start docking multiple craft together.
It’s even worse than that. By speeding up you end up actually getting further behind your target because in your new higher orbit you actually move slower on average, and as your average orbital radius gets longer, so does the circumference, so you end up on a "detour" trajectory compared to your target!
Whereas if you slow down, you drop to a lower, shorter, higher-speed orbit.
Just to point out here what's different between "space" and "not space": "Space" assumes no "height control",i.e. ways to exert force "down or up" along the earth-object direction. That's obviously not true for a plane. If you can exert force in that direction, you can change speed and keep the shape of the trajectory around earth constant.
They could. The point is that if you allow for that (and it they would need to be constant on), the more speed -> either higher orbit or more elliptic orbit doesn't hold. But no satellite has enough fuel to keep its thrusters on indefinitely.
What the article seems to be highlighting is _affirming the consequent_ fallacy whereby people deem you as evil when they observe you doing something they deem as wrong. Instead they should actually confirm that you too deem the act as wrong before they label you as evil.
It is an extreme case of realism. I have no issue deeming you evil for performing human sacrifice even though several religions throughout history have done this.
By the measure, you propose no one could be considered evil if they were a psychopath.
I don't know man? Kind of depends on what you're doing.
Going to the extreme cases..
You may be a person from one religion who doesn't feel it is evil to off people en masse if they believe in any religion not your own. I don't really care that you don't think it's evil, I'm still pretty comfy calling you evil.
Obviously no one's talking about things like killing people, (I hope?), but I think the example shows what I'm talking about.
This surprised me too. I am from Croatia, and while there is a fair bit of discrimination against anyone that's different in the country, I am very surprised about this magnitude of it. I'm curious about the route he took. Some road types are illegal to run along, and coincidentally the one going from south to north along the coast is illegal to be on for pedestrians to my knowledge. I wouldn't be surprised if any pedestrian was stopped on that road, it's dangerous to run where the speed limit is over 100 km/h.
I was surprised but apparently I was dumb, and people see a black person and think "criminal migrant" all the time and that it's somehow not racist to think that, lol. Very many comments in this thread saying exactly that.
I gave firenvim a shot a few times in the past. The pain points for me were competing shortcuts between extensions (e.g. vimium) and too small realestate in most text area prompts where firenvim activated. I believe the messaging then was that you could just copy paste your nvim config over, and firenvim would use it in the browser. While I think that's true, what makes a good config in the terminal is not the same as what makes a good config in small text area prompts on most websites.
EDIT: I remembered another issue. I'm not able to use it at work because my employer doesn't allow extensions that access all data on a website.
The extension withExEditor[1] can open the editor of your choice in its own window, optionally with a different editor config file. Your editor writes to a file in /tmp and on each write, the text in the input field or area in your browser is updated with the contents of the file. This is an advantage over Tridactyl, by the way, since in Tridactyl you have to close the editor in order to update the text inside the browser.
While the effort for creating an overlay that's painted on top of the original textbox is well intended, a simpler approach would be to open a fixed size window on a fixed position that the user can configure. This way you could set it to your preference and it would work for all kinds of box sizes.
Or maybe give the option to only fall back to this fixed size, fixed position textbox if the box dimensions are smaller than a predefined size.
Yes, that's why I tried tridactyl instead in the end because I was tired to configure firenvim to look and behave like usefully. It combines vimium and firenvim in just one extension and supports having a vim-like config file in your home directory.
The documentation[1] shows examples of how to wrap configuration code and if then block so that section will only run when being triggered from the browser. You can also use this same technique to make config from your terminal that doesn't fit in the extension not appear.
