We may have a different record on a moving objective at a similarly bonkers range.

That's very American. How's that working out?

Didn't the country's government get a little dark for a term? How's that working?

Double taxation; an employer comfortable with it; new culture; national economic issues: I agree it's a tall order for the vast majority of Americans. And, it also seemed the most viable option.

Every H1B worker has this. This is normal; and was for me personally for years.

Having obtained a green card and come home, some of my family still owe American taxes every year for that 1% more they pay, without them or us getting anything for that higher tax, and despite not setting foot on American soil since before Trump. Maybe never again, given the human rights issues, but that's another thing. We pay a pro who knows both countries, and that's a few bucks each year on top.

You're worried about treading a Very familiar path.

If you're seeing Nazis everywhere, then definitely move.

But be careful. In my country, anti-authoritarism dog whistling has made Nazis out of anyone who gives out a parking ticket or tells ya not to drink on that section of the park with your glass bottles. Every fire marshall is a fascist, every doctor a Mengele, every cop a thug.

But this isn't TV. They're not. Maybe everyone you see isn't a Nazi but a misguided voter who's fallen for some populist grift. Stay and help limit the spread of that taint; even if it's just by laughing at the racists and alpha chads.

And if you're going to have an overstuffed gathering for the indoor fireworks show at your apartment, make sure you're not sick and also don't park there.

Is this late-state enshittification? Didn't they super cheap-out on some/all of their products to appeal to the 'single' use crowd?

Stating a sad truth.

MicroEmacs

In testing, to settle a bet by a rabid cult-of-vi peer, I opened a given set of files in each editor, each a day apart because I couldn't be arsed to clear caches. This guy, otherwise a prince, was railing about emacs, but otherwise suffered days of waiting.

10/10 the memory usage by his precious vi was same-or-more than emacs.

There's so many shared libs pulled in by the shell that all the fuddy doomsaying about bloat is now just noise.

I avoid vi because even in 1992 it was crusty and wrong-headed. 30 years on the hard-headed cult and the app haven't changed.

I don't see how microEmacs can improve on what we have by default, and I worry that the more niche the product is the harder it will be to find answers online. But I'm willing to be swayed if anyone can pitch its virtues.

vi versus emacs

You write "vi versus the world" funny.
