I wonder if you could somehow get this to work with some form of passive wifi, maybe slowly harvest energy from available radio signal to trigger a screen update. Maybe someone knows if this is theoretically possible?

From personal experience a few months ago: Firefox works for the essentials, but anything more than webcam video failed. Sharing/synchronised watching of youtube videos or screen sharing only worked on Chrome..

I find Gregory Hay's translation much more readable, here's the same passage:

Fatal necessity, and inescapable order. Or benevolent Providence. Or confusion—random and undirected. If it’s an inescapable necessity, why resist it? If it’s Providence, and admits of being worshipped, then try to be worthy of God’s aid. If it’s confusion and anarchy, then be grateful that on this raging sea you have a mind to guide you. And if the storm should carry you away, let it carry off flesh, breath and all the rest, but not the mind. Which can’t be swept away.

For me, the advantage of vim no longer lies within the original vim editor, but in its ubiquity -- I can have all the advantages of Sublime Text, VS Code or whatever and still use (mostly) the same keybindings thanks to various vim plugins.

I'd consider switching if there was a viable plugin for my current main editor or, better yet, something similar that NeoVim is trying to achieve (i.e. running actual vim as background process for these plugins instead of emulating).

> We have put a lot of effort into making this library useful to you. To help us make this library even better, it collects ANONYMOUS error messages and usage statistics. See d6tcollect for details including how to disable collection. Collection is asynchronous and doesn't impact your code in any way.

That seems really out of place. I'm somewhat used to automatic data collection from applications, but automatic data collection from programming libraries / frameworks? Really?

You can hide the scrollbar with ConEmu, not sure about unlimited buffer though

Article aside - repeating (what feels like) every other sentence as big heading is incredibly annoying and makes it hard to focus on the content. Who thought that would be a good idea??

I did try conemu when bash for windows was first released, but ran into some problems. Will definitely try again, thanks! Though the wsltty linked below looks promising as well
