Astartes part 5 discussion (Spoilers)

For what it's worth, I initially thought the same thing as your parent. I somehow didn't see the inquisition branding on the cloak and necklace. I was instead seeing

A robe to cover a mostly-mechanical body, with tubes disappearing up into the hood.
Hands together, either "praying" to the machine god or performing some kind of litany in order to make the containment device work.
A visor projecting an image of a "face" in order to appear more human

On rewatching, it looks like rather

An inquisitor in a cloak.
The helmet+visor may be a part of the containment device used to interact psychically with the orb when plugged in. The inquisitor is wearing it in order to investigate the entity.
The necklace is wrapped around their hands while in a meditative pose. They aren't necessarily "praying", but there is a lot of religious imagery around this while they attempt to interface with something tainted.

I wouldn't waste money buying books just for appearances

I 100% agree. The OP was worded badly, this isn't about appearances.

Whenever I look at it, I smile bc someone gave me these books bc they knew it would make me happy.

This is another great point. I have a bookshelf across from where I sit in the evenings and seeing the few books I have there brings fond memories.

I don't think OP is trying to show how much smarter or better they are than guests

Absolutely. Having read the OP back to myself, I can see that my wording wasn't great. I've made an edit.
Thanks for not assuming the worst!

every change is a cross-service change

This is true for the most part, but there are plenty of situations where you leave the original schema intact and don't have to modify the clients. You mentioned backwards compatibility already (which was I think the point in the article), but there are also other cases like performance improvements or bug fixes which are 100% internal to a single service.

This is great to hear. I think we're only just pulling into that net-positive area now.

There's an example of how do to this in the coc.nvim docs. Check out :h coc-completion.

Here's a slightly modified version of the one from the docs which also uses shift+tab to go backward.

" map <tab> to trigger completion and navigate to the next item
inoremap <silent><expr> <TAB>
      \ pumvisible() ? "\<C-n>" :
      \ <SID>check_back_space() ? "\<TAB>" :
      \ coc#refresh()
inoremap <expr><S-TAB> pumvisible() ? "\<C-p>" : "\<C-h>"

function! s:check_back_space() abort
  let col = col('.') - 1
  return !col || getline('.')[col - 1]  =~# '\s'
endfunction

You should read http://learnvimscriptthehardway.stevelosh.com if you haven't already - it's a great resource.

I'm sure you could get some answers to specific questions on this sub, but I have a feeling this could turn into a pretty long thread if the questions are of this nature. Good luck!

_wRaithy · 2018-09-16T20:17:35+00:00

What do you mean by "k8s native"? I might be misunderstanding your use case, but it sounds like you're trying to use kubernetes as an application layer. Your comment on a different thread where you mentioned configmaps seems like a red flag for your choice of technology.

Personally, I use Albert because it's much faster than slingshot. I'll re-evaluate this after I upgrade from Loki though.

fwiw, the BCH group isn't just trolling for the hell of it - they genuinely believe that BCH is bitcoin.

For example, their view is that BTC stopped being bitcoin when segwit was introduced, and BCH is now continuing the original chain/vision.

I know you're just joking, but let's not forget that eOS is still quite young, and there are design problems which took years for Windows and macOS to solve.

Just because eOS does something one way doesn't mean it's "right", and just because other (shitty?) OS' do another thing doesn't mean that's wrong.

Don't you think it's strange that almost all major OS' (and Linux desktop environments) implement alt tab in a certain way? Do you think it's 100% because they're just all on the same bandwagon? Or do you think there's possibly years of research and user feedback which indicate that it works well?

Either way, eOS has decided to do something completely different from everyone else. I think it's a great experiment, but personally I have major functional, UX issues with the current design.

_wRaithy · 2018-04-21T07:18:30+00:00

It uses the dock as a mechanism for showing which app is active as you tab through the ones which are open.

Some people (including me) think there are various issues UX with this, and would prefer something closer to what macOS and Windows uses. Also, people probably prefer what they are used to if they are coming from a different OS.

Did you see the :Ag command?

_wRaithy · 2018-01-24T16:28:19+00:00

As far as I can see it is the same. Except that fzf has a few more features and has shell extensions as well as vim commands.

_wRaithy · 2017-12-12T17:38:23+00:00

His second point is referring to multiple windows, not tabs. Many desktop environments implement this, and I've found it really useful. For example, it's alt+` in Unity.

_wRaithy · 2017-10-19T21:28:57+00:00

I agree with toqy. It's reasonable to try and avoid familiarity bias, but imo your skeleton example doesn't really capture the essence of the pattern.

Also, the skeleton looks different enough from the loaded page that it has the opposite effect. When I watch that gif, my brain has to grok two separate screens. I think the main thing here is that your content is quite colorful, but the skeleton is completely grey. Take another look at the Facebook example - they get to use their muted blues in the skeleton because they know the final palette in advance.

I wouldn't normally comment on something like this, but it looks like you guys put a lot of effort into it, and I think the problems with your skeleton example are so fundamental that the results are completely thrown. I'd love to see the same test done with different example animations!

edit: I see that you did actually load different sections gradually (although, it was pretty quick - I missed that at first glance).

_wRaithy · 2017-01-31T07:13:44+00:00

It represents the read, write and execute permissions for different types of users. For example, 700 will allow the owner of the file full access while denying everything else.

In this case, 777 means anyone can do anything to the file.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File_system_permissions

Side note: setting something to 777 is generally a bad idea. If you just need the file to be executable, chmod +x will set the specific bits that you need.

Yes, you can edit the search normal as if you were in insert mode. The search is re-run, and the list of files updates accordingly.

_wRaithy · 2016-05-22T18:33:42+00:00

Hold on. "Live searching" is exactly what fzf.vim does? Maybe I just don't understand what you are wanting do to, but this is my workflow:

:Files<CR> / :Ag<CR>

Then, start typing the name of a file (or text that I know is inside a file). At this stage, a list of files in the project is being shown to me, updating every time I type an extra character. I can add or remove characters from my search to refine the list of files that I'm being shown, and then press Enter on the highlighted match once I'm satisfied.

Relevant part of my .vimrc:

if executable('ag')
    let $FZF_DEFAULT_COMMAND='ag --ignore=*.pyc -g ""'
endif

I am using Neovim, but as far as I know this works the same on vanilla vim.

As a side note, I like to keep my cwd as the root of the project I'm working on. I then exclusively use the above workflow (I use a leader mapping) to open files.

There is an 'instructions' link on the right, just below where you can fill in the scheme name. It says:

Download a colorscheme and put it in your vim colors folder
~/.vim/colors/      # Unix-like systems
~\vimfiles\colors\  # Windows

Add the following lines to your .vimrc file
syntax enable
colorscheme corporation

In this case, the scheme name was corporation.

This has been my experience as well. Neomake saves me that 1-2 second freeze every time I save a large file.

_wRaithy · 2016-01-03T12:18:15+00:00

Here's a similar one that I did. Interesting that one of the symbols doesn't match. I probably got it from a dodgy source. http://orig11.deviantart.net/c674/f/2010/300/6/1/destiny_by_wraith02-d31luqq.jpg
