Uhh wait, but Vader is younger than Padme!

Organized religion.

Nothing comes even remotely close.

I’d recommend a new launcher. Lawnchair is totally free. I personally use Nova Launcher (paid). Both give you the option to have the buttons back.

Holy shit, came here to say that. Nothing compares to the pain of having a tube inserted in your urethra all the way down to the bladder, and as the tube is turned (it’s a camera) it hits the sides of the bladder and it starts to bleed, and it burns like nothing I’ve felt before.

Go

It’s like C with better syntax and without memory management annoyances. It also comes with a decent standard library and making concurrent programs is a breeze. As a bonus it generates static binaries which, granted, are big but in most cases can be copied to any other Linux workstation and executed directly.

Unfortunately, I only had limited interactions with him. I was the lead on a project that needed a few things from his team, and we had a number of meetings due to that.

From my limited contact, he seemed like a chill guy. Never made any unreasonable assumptions and had a technical view on how to solve problems.

Man, I’m sad 😔.

I knew him personally (we worked for the same company at a point in time, although very different departments). I’m also a heavy vim user.

We once were in the same meeting where the unsuspecting meeting chair was taking nodes in emacs org-mode. Most of other meeting members were not geeks, so nobody knew who Bram was. I said “Bram, look at this, they’re taking notes in emacs just to piss you off”, to which he responded “yeah, and it is horrible…” 😁

Farewell and :wq

Ask around the table who has fast reflexes. Get a $10 bill, scrunch it a bit and put it on the table (a bit like a ball). Ask the person to position their hand some 4 inches above the bill, palm down. Then, position your hand much higher (1.5ft) also face down and bet that person that you can grab that bill before they do.

It’s misleading because of the distance but if you’re just normal fast by the time they react you’ll already have the bill in your hands.

For command line sync to the cloud you can use rclone. It’s FOSS and works with many different cloud providers.

For a constant sync experience you can use insync. It’s closed source and requires a license though, but works reasonably well.

Sorry for the lack of direct links since I’m on the phone.

Mate desktop with i3 as the window manager. Killer lightweight combo and massive boost to productivity.
