The article doesn't make it clear whether it's 83% of biomass that went extinct, 83% of individual animals, or 73% of species.

I'd love to see you swap the implementation two methods efficiently without vim. For me, just a few keystrokes: dim]mvimp2[mP and about 3 seconds. For you: a bunch of clicking and selecting, I imagine.

This is just one example of many I could come up with. Code is text, and vim can easily be made to understand that text well.

Use real vim, not emulators. Emulators all suck, and won't teach you the right habits.

Vim is also extremely powerful when customized to your needs. Build your own setup over time. Start with vanilla vim and add to it over time. If anything annoys you and requires too much manual repetition, it can probably be automated and streamlined.

Force yourself to use Vim for everything, and soon enough it'll be second nature.

Also — consider Neovim. It's real vim, but better.

Because the user experience sucks. I hate copying a URL and have a bunch of meaningless garbage included in wherever I paste it, as happens with pages that leaves UTM artifacts in the query string.

I don't care at all about the tracking aspect of removing UTM, I care about how it makes the internet shittier to use.

Re-posting old things that are interesting is not OK? It was tagged as being from Jan 2017

This type of cheap humor doesn't really add much to the conversation. I presume you don't actually believe that to be true, and are just trying to bring up Facebook's entirely unrelated privacy issues (which have already been discussed on HN ad nauseam).

How about discussing interesting AI tooling and research instead?

If your plane flies the shortest great-circle path, you'll fly over the arctic sea, which is definitely water, though sometimes solidified. IAH or DFW would be better examples :).

There is no world in which the government should be able to force a private company to give something hugely valuable to, of all possible options, Comcast (one of the worst companies in America).

My main problem with these DNS services is that they often break gated wifi networks that require a login page to access. It's horrible that it has become standard practice to take over DNS to redirect to a access gate — but as users, your choices are either: suck it up, or no internet.

Does anyone have a better solution for this?

(Also — why no IPv6 DNS?)

The rational and nice thing to do for Marriott is to fire the guy, give him a nice severance and a wink-wink apology, and hook him up with a gig at Starwood Hotel & Resorts.

That only works when it's mandatory for everyone.
