You don't have to reinvent a thing, just use some ffi (foreign function interface) implementation and call into whatever you want.

Iinteresting.. Lynx/Curl gave me the page straight away, Chrome though keeps redirecting me to the "register or login" page.

edit --

It's some Javascript based redirect, I can see this in curl: ... "baseRedirect":"https://www.linkedin.com/uas/login?session_redirect="}--> ...

I'm not investigating further.

Linkedin demanded me to log in to read.. I'd be happy to read this w/o logging in / registering. Are you aware of a non-Linkedin link?

Wrt search, I guess it's seen as an orthogonal problem and meant to be dealt with by indexing / search services..

I'd expect to see something like this in the FAQ section: How is it possible to diff/merge Skov program soucre trees?

Just asking, it's definitely possible. I used to work at a CAD company, they did some dev work to do these with building models...

I'd be in favor of having some standard "code review markup language", which could contain review comments and workflows. Then you would be able to put these in files and make those files part of your repository (ie commit/push).

Then, you could build various frontends to handle these in a user friendly way if you like. But also, would be accessible and editable in your favorite text editor.

Personally, I NOP-ed all arrow keys _and_ hjkl also, after I found myself keeping j pressed to get to an area at the bottom of the window. Which would be an L. Then NOP-ed, bit by bit, many other things which could be done faster. 90% of my movements are search, BWtf{} and some scrolling with zt zz zb. The only case I found the lack of hjkl problematic so far is in block visual mode.

Another anti-pattern I did was Da and dWi, NOP-ed them and forced myself to start using C and cW respectively. Not much of an achievement, but feels better :) Same for x, I deleted whole words with x, then pressed i, I removed the mapping of x.

Conclusion: in case you think you have an anti-pattern, just NOP the mappings. In case one or two turns out to be too much of restriction, you could always remove the NOP mapping later.

I started combining {} with zt zz zb. I feel like it mimics physical handling of a scroll. This requires some empty lines though. In case I work with dense text, I usually switch to H/M/L also (combined with zt zz zb).

I have to mention that for navigation purposes, f/F is only useful with ;, otherwise you could find yourself looking through the line for a suitable character which slows you down. With ; it's enough to pick a "rare" character on the line which is near to/in the desired object.

Next to c2f, ci" (and ci) etc) could be really useful when you end up being in the middle of a string literal and just want to change the whole thing. Or in the middle of an expression in parens - http://fuckyeahvim.tumblr.com/image/122373002741

ct" or even ci" (or ci) ci] etc) is really useful to reset the inner contents of text delimited by ")] etc.. I use these a lot - http://fuckyeahvim.tumblr.com/image/122372862496

In FastMail you could already search based on some of the email headers, like from:thatpurplecompany.com (or has:attachment, https://www.fastmail.fm/help/receive/search.html) and then you could save the search.. It's visually not that rich, but it solves your problem.

Tagging (for me) is more about ad-hoc grouping. As giving it a thought right now it's even hard for me to come up with a realistic use case.

I've been using it for 1.5 yrs now, they're pretty good. Switched from Gmail. They don't have a calendar yet (it's on their stack though).

Makes sense. It could be difficult to raise money for prevention and rehabilitation purposes from the tax approach. Although maybe wealthy recreational users would happily "fund" the education / rehabilitation of the poor. Or maybe I'm just completely wrong here :D

I agree with the other points you've discussed.

My idea would be: make them legal, tax them high (or make them accessible only after certain educational exams), from that money educate people, help them recovering. Teach them basic game theory and the term what trap is, what is it like to be the frog in the boiling water, etc.

I'm confident I missed many aspects here, although really interested in: What are the problems with this model?

I'm still interested in something which tracks "moves" well. Moving a big block of text/code into a different file is still lacks the easy-to-see guarantee that the disappearing and appearing two blocks are the same. Do you know any techniques for this?

Maybe the bid-ask spread in that area for USD is that wide :D You might see something like this

        BUY       SELL
  USD   6.1538    13.3636

And it makes sense immediately. You have USD3.25, you buy 20元 for that. Pay for various resources, get back 150元. Well, you can get only USD11 for that.

Hereby I report that it started working on that post! Yeeha.

Edit: it seems to work in general.
