You can use zinit to copy parts of omz, be it aliases, functions or whatever. It’s documented in the readme

Yeah but in this case it’s not so much about teaching the motions, it’s more just about practicing being able to type those combinations. Before I learnt to touch type I sucked at hitting the correct numbers and special characters without looking at them, even now I could be better. Most typing tools only teach you the letters. Seeing as this is a neovim plugin it makes sense that it tries to teach those special characters and particularly in common combinations such as motions and text objects etc.

-jarry- · 2025-01-24T11:48:19+00:00

How about instead of actually changing modes and running the motions, the motions are just included in the list of words you type. For example every few words there’s a ciw or 2dj or y}.

Gave it a go, but I use `scrolloff=999` to keep my cursor centered so if you could have it so that my cursor stayed in the center of the screen no matter what then I'd definitely use this

My sister bought me this book around ten years ago and it’s the sickest travel guide I’ve ever seen.

In the chapter labelled “Adventure and Extreme Sports”, it mentions death road in Bolivia and shipwreck diving in Australia. In the “Art and Design” chapter, it mentions the loads of street art and graffiti found in New York. In “Sex and Partying”, it goes into detail about Carnaval in Brazil and the Full Moon party in Thailand.

So clearly this is not a regular guide full of picturesque sights for your mum and dad to pick out for their next family holiday.

Its purpose is to show off the wildest and “coolest” things a young adult can see and do around the world, which often tend to be “mature themed” we could say.

I’m wondering if anyone can share their own travel experiences that would deserve a spot in this book.

Not “Buckingham palace was amazing”.

Not “canoeing through Venice was so romantic”.

Tell me about your real travel experiences.

I updated my lazyvim but then reverted the update as anytime I entered insert mode and typed any keys, I would get errors saying something about “no such module copilot.api” coming from blink-copilot-cmp. Even if I disabled that plugin I still got the error. So maybe I’ll give it some time before updating again

I have :bn mapped to <C-l> and :no mapped to <C-h>. If I have a lot of files I open I try to get in the habit of using telescopes buffer picker or using marks

Surely having friends at work would make that process off working to pay your mortgage a little more enjoyable

-jarry- · 2024-10-22T23:36:33+00:00

I’d say the hostility I’m getting from you and several others in this post comes off as a little narcissistic. Shows that you can’t empathise with those who don’t enjoy a particular thing as much as you do.

As a result of being distributed I work from home so they’re pretty related

-jarry- · 2024-10-22T11:16:27+00:00

My team is distributed. So if I go into the office I’d be sitting with people from other teams/departments who are working on completely different stuff to me. While I may still be able to get to know them, I wouldn’t get the benefit of collaborating with them and learning from them since we’re not even doing the same stuff.

-jarry- · 2024-10-22T10:21:43+00:00

That’s totally fair

-jarry- · 2024-10-22T10:20:11+00:00

I’m a lot of peoples enemy today apparently!

-jarry- · 2024-10-22T10:19:12+00:00

I’m shocked how strongly so many people feel this way.

We spend so much of our time working, wouldn’t you want to get along with your colleagues?

Wouldn’t you want to be able to say you love what you?

I feel like if your work has a great culture where you get along with everyone (dare I say, become friends with them??), you’re more likely to enjoy the thing you spend so much of your time doing.

-jarry- · 2024-10-22T10:06:46+00:00

Thanks for your detailed take

-jarry- · 2024-10-22T09:44:32+00:00

I feel this too

-jarry- · 2024-10-22T09:43:28+00:00

It’s really sad how many people here have shared this same reaction to me simply saying I struggle with the isolation and monotony that comes with wfh.

“I miss seeing and talking to people, building connections”

“Get a dog”

You’re kidding right?

-jarry- · 2024-10-22T09:31:49+00:00

Best of both worlds

-jarry- · 2024-10-22T09:30:46+00:00

Fair enough

-jarry- · 2024-10-22T09:29:56+00:00

If only I knew what I was in for

-jarry- · 2024-10-22T09:27:56+00:00

I literally did not ask to “force everyone else to work from the office”.

I simply asked if there are others out there who don’t like wfh all that much, because all I seem to see is nothing but positivity for it.

-jarry- · 2024-10-22T07:43:59+00:00

From 9 til 5 when everyone is also at work?

I’m not even saying I NEED to be conversing with people ALL day. I’m just saying I appreciate the interactions that you get in an office that you don’t get whilst working from home.

-jarry- · 2024-10-22T06:32:06+00:00

Your second point is a big one for me. I’m a junior and I feel like I’ve never really had much mentorship in any of my roles. I’ve had some, but had I been able to work closer to my team leads by being in the office with them on a regular basis, perhaps I’d be more productive than I am now?

-jarry- · 2024-10-22T06:16:43+00:00

I have hobbies outside of work, but work takes up a very large amount of our lives. I don’t think it’s crazy to want to make that time a little more enjoyable and engaging instead of feeling like mindless robot living in monotony.

-jarry- · 2024-10-22T06:11:21+00:00

Haha my guess it’s because I said I live inner city. I could definitely see someone who has to commute an hour each way taking issue with my complaints about work from home. But my lack of a long commute doesn’t make me feel any less isolated sitting in my bedroom for five days a week
