I still vividly remember a peer watching me carefully record a vim macro, thinking I was just editing. Right as he said "Why are you so slow?!?", I ran `100@q` to apply the edit to the whole file. Just "oh." after that.

No, you cannot. You can license them temporarily.

The housings are not sealed. At least not on the older Aura H2O models. That model's water proofing achieved by a coating on the PCB. I googled this in a panic when a significant amount of water came flowing from the USB port as I removed it from the bath.

I believe that the top-level comment you replied to is making the point that there should not be any authority that either allows or disallows what a user can do with the device they own. Purchasing a device should make one that authority, free to decide how much security to trade for how much privilege.

I still use it regularly in 2024 to load data onto embedded devices running U-Boot. It saves me a network cable if one is not otherwise required.

As another paying user of Kagi I wonder what prevented you from using another search engine for the six hours that Kagi was unavailable. Search engines are not like your email provider or ISP in that you're locked in.

I'd argue @ is more suitable for a dereference operation than an "address of" one. It functions that way in an email address too.

Would you say that the Linux kernel is written by mostly "100% subpar C programmers"? Because it's an extremely common pattern to have multiple goto labels at the end of a function.

How are they possibly not the victims after the distributor orders a vast quantity of product, goes MIA for months, and then proceeds to go "whoops, just kidding, here's your stale product back"?

Whats the actual difference between sending ten identical low-effort auto-generated emails and ten unique low-effort auto-generated emails?

> So FreeSoftware/OSS people don't work hard?

That's not a fair conclusion from the parent comment at all. Software developers _do_ have the right to prevent their work from being given away for free. Them _choosing_ to develop FOSS is them voluntarily waiving that right.

Using software in accordance with the terms of its licence is not shameful.

That's exactly what a lot of users that do development on a beefy remote machine from a light machine they use as a terminal want. Ssh+vim+tmux is a pretty common setup. That network request might add 20ms of lag, but means that anything that requires CPU power will be an order of magnitude faster. The unhappy path (a bad or absent connection) is bad, but the happy path is pretty damn happy.
