Peterson has said way more bullshit and its all on YouTube.

Rogan supposedly being neutral with everyone is problematic since it puts crazy people on equal footing with experts, and it causes confusion for people who may not know better. As an extreme example, being neutral means you should spend the time and effort to hear out a flat earther as much as an astronomer. Everyone is entitled to an opinion, but not everyone is entitled to a platform to spew bullshit.

I make it a point to drive exactly at the speed limit in front of these assholes.

More like someone put some skittles on the bat'leth and now the handles are all sticky.

Same.

I use Bortmatic to manage my repos and I pay a little bit to BorgBase for offsite backup of my important stuff.

That video!! Yeah, I don't believe it either. Sort of reminds me of doing Kung Fu as a kid. We'd do public demonstrations and would sometimes ham it up a bit for the audience. I wonder if that's what's going on.

Have you practiced push hands? There's a neat effect I can only describe as sort of being able to bounce off the other person. You can get some decent air with it! I also wonder if there's a bit of that going on with a lot of exaggeration.

I agree with you about the "weird stuff". I teach Tai Chi and I'm very careful about the words I use, especially when it comes to describing mechanical forces. I'll often mention that I don't mean some notion of "life force" but rather the physical Newtonian force that your body is subject to while performing the movements.

I find Tai Chi to be deceptively complicated with deep physical and psychological components. I have a hard time articulating what it is to others since it's not really a martial art, and it's not really meditation, and it's not just a bunch of movements or calisthenics. But it does have very real effects and I love it!

It sounds like your experience is quite similar to mine and I'm happy you found a good teacher and are enjoying the practice! 😀

Helix also, but aren't ~~Zed~~ and Helix both modal?

edit: Huh. I just tried out Zed and looks like modal editing is optional.

Looks like jEdit just had a new release! I actually used it as my main editor 15 years ago before I sat down to learn Emacs. I thought it was pretty good back then.

Lapce is a newer one that looks interesting, though I haven't tried it. The page says modal editing can be toggled.

The software will likely work, but keep in mind that you'll have to add VM startup time when you want to use the software. I have occasionally seen software behave strangely in a VM as well, so best to just try it.

Can you share the software you went to use? Maybe there's a good Linux alternative or someone knows how to get it working in wine.

Whose turn is it next?

Is this the one using the open source kernel module?

 

Looks like it's out of beta.
