All I wanna do is have some fun …

I thought emacs was all about ctrl + ?.

https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/

I use vim, but considered emacs. I thought the plugins like organisers and such seemed a cool idea.

Interesting, I didn’t know that about VSCode.I’ve used it briefly and I must have always installed some default plugins to make it work with python!

The only query I’d have on that definition of IDE is that they all require an external compiler or JIT interpreter to execute code, because the versions of the compilers changes so frequently it’d be crazy to release an ‘all included’ IDE. (The old MS Visual Basic is an example of ‘all included’)

But yeah, pycharm or phpstorm are “ready to run” bar the code compiler or interpreter, I don’t have to open a terminal or something to run code I’ve written.

Vim and emacs usually run in the terminal and require keyboard commands to complete actions.

A GUI IDE like vscode or pycharm has mouse driven menus and buttons, although of course it’s possible to use keyboard commands.

That to me is the difference. Personally, I use vim mod with pycharm and some messy hybrid combination of vim commands and ctrl + ?

Anecdotally, I remember using it for answers to things about probably business, government, and certain how-to’s. I also remember when the pop-over banner started covering up half the answers and that’s around the time I stopped.

Here’s a post discussing quora from Dec 2018.

all philosophical views aside, there are some really core issues that got me to stop using Quora and unfortunately the case to stop using it is made by the site itself:

• The content quality has deteriorated significantly since the site’s inception. The content is far cheaper than before and far less interesting in very obvious ways.

• Moderation systems have not done a good job of growing the site as a community. The site has lost the character that drew many people to it in the first place.

• The machine learning models terribly over-fit to user signals, creating a frustrating experience.

These 3 core issues with the site are what got me to gradually stop using it as someone who was initially an early adopter.

Quora did it. I don’t go there anymore.

There’s a white paper with the social security logo on it https://www.mysql.com/industry/government/

I’d add (in no particular order) Al Jazeera, DW (Deutsche Welle) Le Monde, Financial Times.

I was also taught to read the same article from 2 somewhat opposing sources, that way you’ll likely find the truth in the middle somewhere.

It’s a great meme, story behind the painting less so.

Surely it’s possible to query the outcome and re-analyse the data?

You can’t tell us about a great water bottle that keeps it’s cool without telling us which one you recommend!

I use AI to apply for job. The recruiter uses AI to sift the applications.

Who needs humans.

They do mention there’s lots of guides. I couldn’t find a wikihow, but here’s a forum link https://www.thewatchsite.com/threads/superlative-oil-filled-f-91wthe-making-of-the-superlative-oil-filled-casio-f-91.8273/

I’ve switched to eBay. The delivery time is often the same and the returns are ok too

Another pay-off for Elon?

It won’t be Zuch because he isn’t doing enough ass kissing.

Perhaps Bezos will be given a social media empire to compliment his other businesses.

It’s nice to see meta have learned from their own mistakes and are now trying to protect democracy profits.

I think it’s consumer-electronics show, as opposed to an industrial-electronics show… Though I get your point.

many engines do not require this procedure. It depends on whether the engine is equipped with hydro-compensators: these are devices designed for automatic adjustment of the thermal gap. They work at the expense of the oil entering them from the engine (that is why, actually, and are called “hydro-compensators”) and completely exclude the necessity of periodic manual adjustment of valves.

My apologies, I didn’t know about this. https://hir.harvard.edu/true-sovereignty-the-cfa-franc-and-french-influence-in-west-and-central-africa/

The Macron-Ouattara announcement represents a needed reform. But it is just one of many that needs to happen. Going forward, the challenge will be to keep the benefits of the CFA franc monetary zone, namely a stable currency and low inflation, while transitioning to a new institutional system away from France. A monetary system that holds a former colonial power as the guarantor, regardless of announcements or agreements, will always ultimately fail to eradicate neocolonialism.

Are you talking about Overseas France? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overseas_France

Overseas regions have exactly the same status as France’s mainland regions.

Seems similar to Puerto Rico, Samoa and the others https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Territories_of_the_United_States
