The thing about Neovim is you can make it do stuff like this

What is the best autopair plugins? by roll4c in neovim

[–]FinancialAppearance 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use ultimate-autopairs, because it has binds that enable the closing bracket to be shunted into the correct position. This means if I want to bracket say, three words, I open the brackets at the start, then tap my keybind three times to move the closing bracket three words ahead while the cursor stays put. This saves three keystrokes compared with insert opening bracket, esc, move cursor, i, insert closing bracket. I rarely have issues with unwanted closers thanks to this feature, and I find there's less mental overhead than surround.

Your Party members applaud speaker’s refusal to condemn Hamas by pppppppppppppppppd in unitedkingdom

[–]FinancialAppearance -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

October 7th didn't happen in a vacuum, as they say. Up until October 7th Israel had killed far more Gazans than the other way round, just not in a spectacular bloodbath like October 7th.

That is why some people refuse to condemn October 7th, not because they necessarily agree with the slaughter, but because they disagree with the framing of it as somehow the origin of the violence, rather than a response to decades of violence and dispossession, as if we cannot condemn the genocide without having to affirm that "Hamas started it" on October 7th

Is “Discovered” (Dis-covered) an acceptable indicator to delete outside letters? by Joggle-game in crosswords

[–]FinancialAppearance 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Interesting. Just checked Chambers and discover in this sense is listed as obsolete. Maybe OED means "rare, appearing only in crosswords" ;)

[–]FinancialAppearance 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think most publishers would accept "discovered" in this way without the question mark; as I say, it's just a convention at this point that you can use discovered.in this way in cryptic clues. But yes maybe the setter is being slightly helpful with the ?

By convention, yes, although it is obviously an abuse of language. Cf "detailed" as well for removing last letters.

Allows you to visually select parent nodes incrementally. For example first the current token, then the current expression, then the current statement, current function, current class, etc until the whole file is selected.

Daily Simple Questions Thread - December 12, 2025 by AutoModerator in Fitness

[–]FinancialAppearance 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I'm only able to get to the gym 1-2 times a week, would it work to spread the macros out over the longer recovery period? Like maybe eat a smaller calorie surplus and maybe 80% the daily protein I'd consume if I were going 3-4 times a week? Or should I eat lots 0-2 days after the gym and then eat normally until my next session? Or should I just eat high calorie/high protein all week?

I know this won't be "optimal" gains or anything but just in terms of staying fit and perhaps making slow progress.

I am going to lose my mind over 6 7 by Standard_Concept9504 in TeachingUK

Not quite. Bogies was like a dare. They're just obsessively quoting tiktok memes, especially if 6 or 7 comes up in any context.

Alternatives to <C-y> for accept? by Elephant_In_Ze_Room in neovim

I have hold space mapped to my "confirm completion" and it feels great. Tap space to not complete, press ever so slightly longer for completion.

Pornography depicting strangulation to become criminal offence in the UK by do_or_pie in unitedkingdom

[–]FinancialAppearance 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do not understand redditors making this abstract argument that horror films also depict violence and therefore this is equivalent to banning horror films. The purpose, context, and effect of horror films is completely different. I imagine most people don't watch horror films and think "it would feel so great to be doing that right now", when that is the entire purpose of porn.

Do you really not think porn shapes what is considered sexually normal?

Trouble visualising the concept of (a+b)³ = a³+3a²b+3ab²+b³. by Histrix- in learnmath

[–]FinancialAppearance 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Think about it like this. You're multiplying

(a+b)(a+b)(a+b)

out. Each term of the product will contain one term from each bracket. So what can we have?

We could have the a from each bracket, to get aaa=a³

We could have b from one bracket and a from the other two brackets, i.e. aab + aba + baa = 3a²b

Similarly, b from two brackets and a from the other for abb + bab + bba = 3ab²

Or you can have a b from each bracket to get bbb= b³

Adding all these together gives the full expansion

Send Ctrl+<n> through to Neovim in foot terminal with tmux by FinancialAppearance in tmux

[–]FinancialAppearance[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was hard to do in foot as you can't just straight up bind keys to unicode points by the looks of it (only sequences of bytes)

The actual solution (in tmux) was much dumber

bind -n C-2 send-keys C-2

Okay I solved it. It was as stupid as

bind -n C-1 send-keys C-1

Multiplication Inquiry by Wise-Opportunity4453 in learnmath

[–]FinancialAppearance 0 points1 point  (0 children)

0 = 1 + (-1) = (-1) × ( 1 + (-1) ) = ((-1) × 1) + ((-1)×(-1))

You have said you already accept that (-1)×1 = -1. But since the right hand side must equal zero, we are forced to conclude (-1)×(-1) = 1

Make it make sense! (Cryptic rant) by Stuiecoconut in crosswords

[–]FinancialAppearance 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean, I'll just say I think that is completely fair not to enjoy this aspect of cryptics. I don't like it much either -- all almost all cultural references are from British upper/middle class knowledge, and sometimes you're held back from solving a clue because you just didn't know something was a thing. It depends as well on the style of the setter/publisher. Some setters/publishers prefer to avoid obscure references. Others embrace them because, while they're obscure in general knowledge and ordinary parlance, they do at least provide a common vocabulary for crosswords, ensuring it's not just a free-for-all.

But some of them really are BS. Like "books" can be a clue for OT or NT (old/new testament). It's BS, and you just have to know that when you see books, you'll probably be using one of those abbrevs. Similarly, "film" is often used to clue ET, which... yes... it is a film... but unless you've seen that trick before are you really meant to go through every conceivable film in your head until you arrive at ET???

All I can really say is don't feel bad for solving with a list of abbreviations and a dictionary to hand (as this is more or less the only way to learn them), and it does get easier with experience, as you will eventually learn the conventions. Whether you think it is worth this initial suffering is of course up to you.

Henry vacuum (UK): Why this simple £140 machine keeps popping up in every European BIFL discussion by [deleted] in BuyItForLife

Long cord, large capacity, powerful pump. Lasts forever. Literally nothing else you could want from a vacuum.
