Absolutely with you on the last point, but the Subway Surfers mentioned in this Article is a mobile game which has been around since 2012 - they don't splice in videos with actual subway surfing. Not that that changes much about the article in general^^

Try this in your local vim: set rnu

Really handy for relative movements like 5j or 12k :)

FYI the fingerprint sensor problem has since been fixed and I can now use it again without trouble for banking apps and the like. (Although I'm on a Fairphone 3+) Still holding up fairly well in 2024, even if it's a bit slow at times.

DCSS = Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup

ADoM = Ancient Domains of Mystery

Cataclysm DDA = Cataclysm Dark Days Ahead

I swear I didn't make the first one up ;) Edit: ah well, you got your answer already^^

That was probably supposed to be a pun - you're both on the same side here :)

Skateboarding!

It's a bit hard to find time for it during a workday, but sometimes I just have the urge to get moving and trade lunch with my colleagues for some time on the board. A really nice change of pace, and I can usually think much better after getting some movement in, even if it's just some light cruising.

I'd still like to have another hobby which I can do during the winter, and maybe even while commuting. Maybe I should take up something like knitting, or any other craft which can be done during short downtimes.

To add to that - if you prefer writing the body of the post itself in markdown, and write in VIM, here's a little snippet that might help:

:%!markdown_py

where markdown_py is your markdown-to-html tool of choice. This will take the whole buffer and turn it into HTML; Otherwise, just select what you want transformed in visual mode, press : and go use it like this:

:'<,'>!markdown_py

Just felt the need to share - any command line utility can be used in VIM :)

(Emacs, VSCode and other editor-using people feel free to chime in, I'm sure there's lots of cool approaches to this)

I just gave this a try, and I would honestly love to have a traditional cad software that is so intuitive and easy to use. (Except for the stuff with the rotation, that was a little hiccup for me)

I could just get into it, drag, drop rotate and make some stuff - it's actually _fun_ to use!

Does anyone know of a cad program which uses a similar approach? I'd love to be able to build smooth models with such a software...
