  • I'm one of those nano weirdos. I mean, I get why people use vi/vim, but I'm a lazy man who has the nano shortcuts hardwired into my muscle memory. It's definitely not as full-featured as vim, but it does what I need it to do quickly and easily. If I need to just quickly drop into a file and do a find/replace, takes me maybe 3 seconds.

    Also, to share an ancient joke from the dawn of computing: emacs is a great OS, I just hope someone makes a decent text editor for it eventually.

  • Nor should you be. Some of the best food is rooted in fusion food, tacos al pastor is no exception. Hell, practically everywhere across eastern Europe has their own variant of shawarma/gyros, which is arguably fusion food as well.

  • Republicans vow to block Trump from seizing Greenland by force

  • There's no deal. Anybody who tells you there's a deal is lying to you. Any danish politician who would even consider a deal at this moment would get lynched in the street by their citizenry.

    What the US has is what they had before: as much military presence as they want and the ability to negotiate with the local Greenlanders over minerals (who will likely not want to deal with the people threatening to invade them for weeks). They've had that deal since 1951.

    Alberta has always been full of crazy people threatening to leave Canada as far as I understand, would be surprising to me if they actually do it.

  • Greenland is part of Denmark, which is in turn part of the EU. This is about as ridiculous as saying that Russia could walk into Alaska and claim it because it's sparsely populated.

  • Here's an absolute classic unix koan about the terminal:

    One evening, Master Foo and Nubi attended a gathering of programmers who had met to learn from each other. One of the programmers asked Nubi to what school he and his master belonged. Upon being told they were followers of the Great Way of Unix, the programmer grew scornful.

    “The command-line tools of Unix are crude and backward,” he scoffed. “Modern, properly designed operating systems do everything through a graphical user interface.”

    Master Foo said nothing, but pointed at the moon. A nearby dog began to bark at the master's hand.

    “I don't understand you!” said the programmer.

    Master Foo remained silent, and pointed at an image of the Buddha. Then he pointed at a window.

    “What are you trying to tell me?” asked the programmer.

    Master Foo pointed at the programmer's head. Then he pointed at a rock.

    “Why can't you make yourself clear?” demanded the programmer.

    Master Foo frowned thoughtfully, tapped the programmer twice on the nose, and dropped him in a nearby trashcan.

    As the programmer was attempting to extricate himself from the garbage, the dog wandered over and piddled on him.

    At that moment, the programmer achieved enlightenment

  • You know what would have helped denuclearization? Giving the Budapest Memorandum teeth. Obama and every subsequent president made some mealy-mouthed "We'll send a few old guns" to Ukraine, despite the deal being Ukraine gives up their nukes and Russia (lol), the US and UK defend them.

    Every other country's leadership looking at that has reached the obvious conclusion: nothing but nukes that you yourself control will save you against a nuclear power.
