Vim has had mouse support for a long time.

In the software biz, where one day--Allah willing--we may find ourselves in direct/indirect competition with Microsoft, integrating one of their data probes into the heart of the business does not seem like the best move.

VSCode! It has electrolytes!

M-x, C-x, M-Shift-x is emacs, not vim.

It's :q in vim.

and to suction: because vi pre-dated those paradigms

Here's $0.00. Take it, and buy yourself a real editor. Anything you choose to pay above that goes to needy children in Uganda.

> eventually every operating system is just going to support x86_64-linux-gnu

Whether it's batteries included, or batteries sold separately, we'll still be stuck with batteries. If I want to run Linux on my Mac, that's what UTM is for.

Despite my reservations, nothing but respect, & enjoyed your Feross presentation.

In the world where a windows binary is not expected to run on a mac, and vice versa, they still have the option to change things on an as-needed basis (like the golang breakage on osx). In a world filled with APEs, you will have canonized all of the present OS idiosyncrasies that made APE possible in the first place, & we will be stuck with them forever.

This thing of yours is quite an accomplishment. Even so, I hope it goes no further. If it does (& it probably will, because it is convenient), most of the computing world will have stacked yet another sub-optimal low-level mono-culture on top of the one that was already there.

From the robustness/survivability perspective, the mono-cultures we have are bad enough.

& from what I gather, APE is tightly-bound to x86_64, & depends on an embedded emulator for other architectures:

> All we have to do embed an ARM build of the emulator above within our x86 executables, and have them morph and re-exec appropriately, similar to how Cosmopolitan is already doing doing with qemu-x86_64, except that this wouldn't need to be installed beforehand. The tradeoff is that, if we do this, binaries will only be 10x smaller than Go's Hello World, instead of 100x smaller.

could still be useful as an optional build target though... (i.e. GOOS=cosmopolitan)

Law enforcement blew him off. That's a civil suit. Filing a motion to quash on a subpoena is within their legal rights.

The FBI won't do its job, so cloudflare should do it for them?

Source please. They are still a US company, and must comply with all lawful requests.

Good. A utility shouldn't be in the thought-policing business. If something illegal is going on, that's what law enforcement is for.

The existence of personal shortcomings vs having one's entire social arrangement built upon a lie are very different things.

They failed because they were heresies--elevating the material above the spiritual & dragging the Gospel down into the muck of economics & policy.

> Then saith one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, which should betray him, "Why was not this ointment sold for three-hundred pence, and given to the poor?" The he said, not that he cared for the poor; but because he was a thief, and had the bag, and bare what was put therein.

money is downstream of power. far, far downstream. shuffle the money around, they'll win it all back +interest in less than a generation. eliminate the money entirely, they will change their operations over to a different status marker, which will become the de-facto currency in-turn. contrary to the marxist lie, there is no political answer--especially in a democracy. the only effective counter is the personal one: self-control, self-denial, the way of the boycott & doing more with less. of the thousands of talking heads we have today, cathy fitts is the only one smart enough to understand this.

1. fly from one of my 4+ seaside mansions to davos in personal private jet

2. discuss with my fellow swells how many bolotnikovas i'll have to pay-off to point the finger at bubba & the soccer moms

3. get dumb proles to pass carbon credit legislation

4. sell my allotment (in finance/media/advertising/mgmt consulting; didn't need them anyway)

5. +brokerage fees transacting carbon credits for other industries that have to actually produce things.

6. mansion += 1; bonus = not as many filthy proles clogging up the airports, highways, beaches;

7. life is good
