Someone at twitter has clearly never heard of the buttbuttination of Lincoln.

That's really neat, but I don't think I do that often enough to really make the performance hit of learning a whole new thing and memorizing keyboard shortcuts and commands worth it. I don't find myself refactoring code a ton, especially after moving to a more TDD-like model.

You can set your default editor (maybe in .bashrc or .bash_profile? I forget), but I'm far too lazy.

As someone who's been a software developer for over a decade and in IT even longer, I still don't use vi/vim for anything other than when crontabs have it set as the editor.

I don't know that I dislike it necessarily, but I'm definitely not into it. I used to watch some stuff on Adult Swim on Cartoon Network when I still lived in the US. I don't think I've actively watched anything since I lived in Japan. I think all I've watched has been sitting next to my wife when she as watching something (jujutsu kaisen or something like that, IIRC).

I tried to read manga for Japanese practice, but I generally got bored with anything I could mostly read and put off by anything I actually wanted or needed to as it meant so much dictionary time (for day-to-day stuff, I can mostly read what I need and I speak Japanese at home, so my level in that regard is decent). An example is wanting to get my HAM license in Japan. So much legal stuff is required for study as well as all the various terms for voltage, frequency, etc. in Japanese. I had a bit more success reading a textbook to get my hunter license for trapping, but it was still quite tough (and I didn't finish since, as it turns out, the place I moved to doesn't have as many critters eating my fields as I thought it might).

Not that I've found, actually. Certainly not on any that I set by default. Also, if I don't know how long the washer will run, I can't just set an alarm for it, now can I?

My phone can send alerts to my watch up to like 30m away, so I would still get notifications anywhere inside and many places outside my house.

  1. I rarely carry my phone at home unless I'm also going to be outside.
  2. Washer can be variable on time and such (and mine's not even an IoT/"smart" one)

Kinda bummed I'm on the wrong side of the planet for this. I guess Japan is a pretty small target to hit. It was neat watching the last one in the US on TV here. I remember as a kid in either the late '80s or early '90s we got to see one during school hours.

those people are also listening to your music without paying.

True, but that doesn't grant them a copy they can play anytime. This is also why I've always been fine with listening before buying.

I used to make music with a band. We had studio rent, transportation costs, etc. We would mostly break even on gigs between all our expenses. In the rare event we profited from a gig, it went back into the band. As a whole, we were losing money.

If someone pirated the music that I spent hours working on in the space I paid rent for, I am absolutely losing a sale that could really have helped me out and, with enough of them, even let us maybe do it full time. I was always fine with people wanting to try before buying, but liking and listening to the music we spent a ton of time and money to make and not paying me anything is shitty as a small band. Your argument basically ends with "BuT WE'rE PaYinG You In ExPOSure!!!!" which is always shit.

It's not necessarily in parts of Asia, either. Most people in Japan use LINE. China obviously has its own domestic apps. I think South Korea generally uses kakaotalk
