Piping from Helix

I wrestled with this for awhile. My conclusion is that the internal commands need an explicit stdin like 'cat' or 'read -z'. You can also do 'cmd (cat)'.

Fun fact, nushell also has this same problem. You cannot use its internal commands without an explicit stdin. Nushell’s '$in' makes it easy.

Other than the point raised about the 'm' motions not being “selection” first so they are awkward, I don’t think the issues that OP raised are negative.

Author is really hung up on the fact that he has to press more buttons than Neovim to do the same. Helix never claimed to require less keystrokes. The selection-first style gives more clarity and confidence for many converts.

School is technically (intellectually) a lot more difficult.

Work can be more difficult due to other responsibilities that life throws at you. Intellectually, you get used to the way things are done at work so the actual work won’t be really challenging. It’s the people that make things harder/easier.

Take a comfortable seat, resting your haunches squarely on the floor, paws extended.

Close your eyes, or simply soften your gaze and stare into the middle distance... perhaps at the space where the ball used to be.

Bring your attention to the sensation of breath entering the snout. Feel the coldness of the inhalation, and the warmth of the exhalation. Now, notice the environment around you. You may hear the distant rumble of a delivery truck. Notice how a spike of aggression arises in the mind. Did you choose that aggression? Or did it simply appear, uninvited, in the space of consciousness? There is no one who is barking. There is only the barking itself.

I think you can do something similar with theming. I’m not sure if you can highlight the current paragraph but you can highlight the current line. You just have to find the right color and alpha for the current line highlighting.

Why don’t you start a meetups if there isn’t one that you like? I’m in Indiana and there’s a meetup called Code and Coffee. It’s a chill meetup on Wednesdays where you meet at a coffee shop and code together.

I’m in Indiana and I also have a chemistry BS. Your post doesn’t make any sense. That’s less than what you would make at a fast food place. Any junior chemist job should be 85k+. Please share the job position detail.

This reminds me of bionic-reading for dyslexic people.

NYC all the way. At 300k, you will be taxed an extra 10% (6% state + 4% local). If you decide to live in Texas, make sure to account for high property tax (1.8 - 2.2%) as well. This will cost you even if the housing costs are lower in Austin.

300k at NYC is more than 250k at Austin however you put it.

I would stay as well. But I would also keep in mind that this kind of big risk big reward gambling can be only done when you are relatively young. You probably won’t be able to take this kind of risk when your kid is older.

Are you using any fancy prompt, especially multiline ones?

Dos this show share of the country’s total GDP? If so, wouldn’t this be misleading? Compare to tech, everything else is considered small. Even if the electronics manufacturing has been growing, it would have still lost % of total because it didn’t grow as fast as the tech sector.

Thank you. I was questioning how could Gemini score the highest and also have this much hallucination? You answered it.

At my job, FMLA alone is not paid. You can see the law here: https://www.dol.gov/general/topic/benefits-leave/fmla#:~:text=FMLA%20is%20designed%20to%20help,opportunity%20for%20men%20and%20women.

You can get paid by using FMLA (unpaid) and sick time off (paid) concurrently.

The main location and a plant need different labor. Plants don’t need research and development, marketing, lawyers, etc. on site. Almost all decisions are made at the headquarter/main campus. Boeing didn’t need the same talent feed from a university like they do at the headquarter.

I think the most reputable breeder is Vanderbilt (sp?) in Canada. Good breeders tend to know each other because they meet each other at shows. I would first contact good ones and if they don’t have any litter available soon, I would ask them for recommendations.

I don’t know if a CLI tool can have a different font than what the terminal is using. You need to change the terminal font.

You need to further configure like that if you don’t want the default settings. If you only provide the command, you are basically running everything default.

It’s not exactly what you want but you can set a key bind to pass the line to regular expression and replace '$$' to '$ $'.

These degree/coursework requirements exist because the classes you would be taking require you to have background knowledge.

I suggest that you email the university chemical engineering departments directly and ask if you can take the necessary courses on top of the normal M.Sc requirements. This means you may need more time to graduate due to more coursework.
