For those who want a very similar setup but don't mind the risk of a vim-plugin going unmaintained, I can highly recommend vimwiki. Its a very simple markdown based wiki all within vim. A few features that I find particularly good:
- a 'diary' function that allows you to make a page per day. Vimwiki then produces an index page of all diary entries.
- you can go to your wiki anytime from within vim with a command ( <leader>ww )
- vimwiki can generate html files from yout wiki files
- the coolest thing in my opinon: since the whole thing is just markdown, I actually just use vimwiki as my personal website hosted on github pages. You just have to add some Jekyll related files and github can process everything else as is.
A small note on obselescence: I actually don't even know if vimwiki is in active development anymore. Haven't bothered updating it in maybe 4 years and it works fine. So maybe its fine to not roll your own.
It basically comes to it looking like Lazarus Group
The WannaCry attacks used the same command-and-control server used in the North Korean hack of Sony Pictures Entertainment in 2014, which wiped out nearly half of the company’s personal computers and servers.
...
Other digital crumbs linking the North Korean group to WannaCry include a tool that deletes data that had been used in other Lazarus attacks. The hackers behind WannaCry also used a rare encryption method and an equally unusual technique to cover their tracks.
I always assumed the breakfast phrase had its origin in Kafka's Metamorphosis:
> The washing up from breakfast lay on the table; there was so much of it because, for Gregor's father, breakfast was the most important meal of the day and he would stretch it out for several hours as he sat reading a number of different newspapers.
But then again, I guess it would have never become such a common phrase through Kafka alone. Funny would be if the above formulation only appeared in post 1944 translations.
Yep, that's what I did on my Dell 11 (wolf) with Xubuntu and almost everything working out of the box.I just created a vanilla Xubuntu USB, turned on developer mode and made a bios patch (the Dell has a bug, other Chromebooks don't require it), and installed.
After installation, I had to run something like two scripts to get the trackpad and suspend working.
Battery life is not 10+ hours as it is with chromeOS, probably closer to 7/8.
I feel like science fiction is somehow singled out in society as a special kind of crap.
Yeah, I think this is quite a common battle that many mediums/subjects have to fight. For this case, it seems like a combination a lack of interest in the themes explored in serious science fiction (the ones that get me and you excited), meaning that it does not get as much air-time in "serious" discussions; and the baseline exposure to the genre which does not grow into anything for most . For example, this is the case for me and high fantasy: I know nothing about what the genre has to offer.
I mean, I'm guessing that if I never transitioned into things like Gundam, Xenogears, Ghost in the Shell (can you tell I liked Japanese thigns as a teenager?) and onwards I would still think of sci-fi as cars with guns.
Or maybe I'm unaware of romance novels dealing with game theory and metaethics.
You are right, you probably won't find romance novels dealing with those issues, but that is not something to be surprised or annoyed by.
Each genre has some things that it is, through the tropes of the genre, naturally good at exploring. Science fiction and cyberpunk are really good at speculating about the future (and, of course, by extension, the present: everything is a mirror), because of the setting that they take place in. On the other hand, Romance novels they tend to make good mediators for dealing with different issues, such as sexuality, taboos, class, etc. Just look at Jayne Eyre.
At the time, the PhD was not seen very highly in the department, and in the report on the defence of the PhD Moore famously said:
"It is my personal opinion that Mr. Wittgenstein’s thesis is a work of genius; but, be that as it may, it is certainly well up to the standard required for the Cambridge degree of Doctor of Philosophy’
In the work that pretty much started the discipline of suicidology and one of the most important books in sociology, Émile Durkheim's 1897 "Suicide", it is made clear that the environment you are in does matter. Alghough the text is highly flawed (biases, sexism, logical faults here and there), but the basic idea prevails.
Up till that point, it didn't occur to people (as it does not seem to occur to you) that something as intimate as committing suicide might be deeply linked to more social factors.
People are right to point fingers, the context that one is in influences the decisions they make, the options that they think they have.
Just to be sure that it is clear, Neimaier was the architect of most of the buildings in Brasilia, but not the man who made the urban plan. That was Lucio Costa.
I'm not trying to defend him, he approaches architecture with the intent to create his own brand of ‘beauty’ which results in buildings like you experienced, but he should not be blamed for Brasilia's possible failure as a city.
Actually, that would be Chandigarh[1], a city that was designed by Corbu himself. There is a lot to be said about the city, but it is probably not what people would expect from him (I've heard from people who have been that it is actually quite humanistic). This is quite common with Corbu, since he is the favourite scapegoat in architecture.
I've got the unicomp 122 that I use at work, and the HHKB Pro Silence∂ that I use at home.
I only got the 122 because they were out of stock of of all the Classic and Space Saver when I was ordering, and truth be told I can't think of any intrinsic advantages that the 122 brings. I do love the layout of the arrow keys (with Home in their middle), but the singe best feature of the board is the BS switches.
Back when I bought mine there were a few more configuration options for the 122, one where the additional F keys (13 - 14) would send a "normal" F13 signal, and one where it sends shift + the F key below it. For example, F13 would send Shift-F1. Seeing how unicomp does not give you options any more, you might want to check what the default is.
Also, if you like the Natural, you might be in to ergo boards? You might like the Truly Ergonimic[1] with MX browns. Watch out of the placement of the important programming keys though, since they are a bit off (~ [ ] { } ; : / \ etc.)
When most people refer to a place, they refer to it by it's common name. You fly to JFK, Heathrow, Charles de Gaule, Gatwick, Luton, O'Hare, etc. There is no need to add "airport" to something which so obviously is one in the context.
CO2 in atmosphere -> CO2 in water -> Ocean acidification[1] -> Change in ocean ecosystem
The oceans absorb OC2 from the atmosphere, which you could argue is good, but it is not without consequences. Putting CO2 in the water moves the problem from having it in the atmosphere elsewhere, but it's still a problem. In some ways then, this can be seen as a good thing, because it is undoing the effects that increased CO2 in the atmosphere has on the oceans. Obviously though, I doubt that its effects would be at all noticeable.
The wiki article already linked has a chapter called 'Possible Impact'.
There is a nice scene in the film Before Sunset where the two main characters are discussing the fact that the female lead, Celine, is working for an NGO. Speaking about what she sees around her:
I see it in the people that do the real work, and what's sad in a way is that the people that are the most giving, hardworking, and capable of making this world better, usually don't have the ego and ambition to be a leader.
I was expecting Graves's article to be some form of luddism judged by the title, but after reading it I assume that it is linkbait that was added by the editors. In fact, I don't see anything overly negative that Graves said. He correctly points out the reality: that there are certain parts of a ‘creative’ work flow that are not addressed by any software at this moment. CAD has it's place and has made drafting easier, but honestly drafting is not where the value or enjoyment lies in an architect's day-to-day. The term "CAD monkey" exists for a reason.
There is a very important distinction that Graves points out: “referential sketch”, “preparatory study” and “definitive drawing”. Each of these is very different and has different requirements.
I used to dream of something like a unified work flow for this stuff, where you could do everything in one, well integrated (digital) ecosystem. It does not exist, not for architecture, and I suspect it's mainly because an architects requirements at the first stages are almost the inverse of what they are at last stages. Compare the properties of a sketch to construction documents: in the former you don't want any friction and keep things abstract and detached from technical requirements, whereas the latter has to stand up. An analogy would be going from a fashion designer's ‘inspiration board’ to instructions for making the clothes.
The first stages are rough, contradictory, abstract, idiosyncratic. Things that software is not very good at being. I feel that especially the last word on that list is crucial, since there are some people (like me) who don't even draw that much, I much prefer to work with text and more abstract references in the stage that Graves described as "referential sketch".
CAD has addressed the points where communication standards exist, but nobody brainstorms and researches in the same way so it's difficult to build a tool around that. As an example: another architect, Steven Holl, travels frequently. He does small (A5-ish) watercolours with a pocket set, takes a picture of it with his iPhone and sends it to his studio in NY. His staff knows him enough now to understand them and can use them to develop their projects.
Note that the use case of PlanGrid is different from anything that the article addresses. The article is actually addressing the things that architects do up until the point that a building goes into being constructed, while PlanGrid is about distributing/sharing _finished_ construction documents to a construction site.
Graves points out the weaknesses that exist in software content creation tools.
