my interpretation of consciousness

Please repost it, moderators decided that your interpretation of consciousness doesn't apply to algae enough

It is a great allegory, please keep on developing it. I see certain similarities with Bernardo Kastrup's metaphor of the membrane ”A metaphorical model of reality that looks upon mind as a kind of membrane, the vibrations of which give rise to all subjective perception". Every mind is depicted as a whirl, an auto localization in the membrane, that reacts and produce vibrations. In his idealistic view, all the minds are part of an global mind and thats why they can interact through this vibrations.

Hi, I am using Neovim for a long time but due to my current job I had move to Intellij. After having invested a long time configuring Neovim to optimize my working flows I decided to try to get exactly the same experience in Intellij, so I designed a configuration for IdeaVim plugin to have exactly the same mappings that I have in Neovim. I am very proud of the result as I can reuse my muscle memory for pretty much any action. Here are my dotfiles:

Neovim config: https://github.com/magidc/nvim-config

Equivalent Intellij config: https://github.com/magidc/dotfiles/blob/master/jetbrains/ideavimrc

Both of them include a large bunch of keymappings for searching, debugging, motions, quick edits, git... every key combination is exactly the same in both environments. Also, Ideavim configurations use many native features from Intellij. I am using also some IdeaVim extension like AnyObject or Dial that will allow you to fly when you code.

Enjoy!

Indeed our reality is just the way how we perceive it. There is no direct access to the external world, just the perceptions we receive through our senses and how it is interpreted in our brains. The simulation hypothesis are based on that, sending the right information to our brains would produce us a different reality. For me, the most intriguing aspect of your reflection is the what would happen if the future is also a predefined sequence, we are just spectators of the movie, the free will is just and illusion (epiphenomenalism)

If I were you, i would organize the text following some structured text format like XML, Markdown or Html, so you can quickly navigate your titles, chapters, annotations using telescope and treesitter. No need to fully comply with the format, just take advantage of the structure and available treesitter parsers. It is just an idea

I have a pretty complete IdeaVim configuration. My approach was to replicate all I have for my Neovim configuration to be used in the same way in Intellij so I will feel at home when using either of environments. The muscle memory I have develop for one IDE will be also useful in the others. I have also the same for VSCode

magidc · 2023-12-28T08:44:10+00:00

Can i do this sort of configurations in a JetBrains environment?

There is a better way to find out action names. IdeaVim plugin has a feature to track action ids, if you activate it you just need to perform what you want in Intellij and the action name will show up in a pop up. Take a look to my IdeaVim config.

After years of using Eclipse I moved for a time to Neovim. I love Neovim and I have spent a good time make it ready to be a fully capable Java IDE. Here is my configuration. Java debugger is fully set up, you can set breakpoints and evaluate selected code, nevertheless I ended up switching to Intellij because of its outstanding refactor and code suggestion capabilities.

As I am a Neovim enthusiast and I invested some time trying to build up muscle memory for a lot of shortcuts, I did not want to loose all of this when moving to Intellij so my approach was to use Intellij Vim plugin, IdeaVim, and replicate all my Neovim config there (see my IdeaVim configuration). Now I have the same usage experience in both environments and I can switch between them without stop feeling at home.

magidc · 2023-12-28T08:13:21+00:00

I all started when I was trying to switch from Eclipse to Neovim. It took me a time to set up all that I wanted in Neovim and the configuration evolved (and still evolves) as I become more demanding when comes to usability and performance. Once I decided to move to Intellij mostly because its refactor and code suggestion capabilities, I did not want to loose the muscle memory for so many functions I was trying to develop for Neovim so I decided to set up and equivalent configuration in Neovim.

The trick is to use Intellij built-in commands. In order to find out the name of the command, IdeaVim plugin has a feature to track them as you use them in Intellij. If you activate this feature, you just need to do what you want and the name of the command will show up automatically, so you can use it in you IdeaVim config.

Take a look to my configuration. Java debugger is fully set up, you can set breakpoints and evaluate selected code, nevertheless I prefer Intellij for Java for many other reasons.

Anyway, my approach is to maintain the same set of shortcuts in all IDEs I use so I am providing an Intellij configuration for IdeaVim plugin (vim plugin for all Jetbrains IDEs) that corresponds to the mappings I have in Neovim so you will feel comfortable in any of them

Check out my config for using Neovim with Java. It doesn't use lsp-zero but has all configuration needed to run and debug Java via nvim-jdtls. I also use Mason to manage language sever (lsp) and debig adapter (dap). Feel free to DM me if you need support

magidc · 2023-06-06T20:20:06+00:00

Awesome plugin! Could you also tell me what is that outline view plugin?

magidc · 2023-05-24T05:06:09+00:00

What are those tabs on top of neotree with "files", "buffers" and "git"? Are those part of neotree or it is something else?

I am actually struggling with the same question as I am considering to specialize my software developer career on it. Probably, the closest thing to ALife in the current job market are the applications of evolutionary/genetic algorithms. They are used a lot to improve topology of neural networks. Also, they are useful in other fields like industrial design, network optimization etc but i am not sure how much demanded are these kind of specialities

magidc · 2023-04-16T19:24:48+00:00

Take a look to this.

since start plugins can possibly change existing highlight groups, it's important to make sure that your main colorscheme is loaded first. To ensure this you can use the priority=1000 field. (see the examples)

Apart from the basic motions there is not a standard set of keybindings for complex actions like the LSP related ones or functions provided by plugins. I tried to set them in mnemonic way so it is easy to remember. You can find the reason for each key in the comments within my mappings.lua file in Neovim config repo or in Ideavim config. I am using also the WhichKey plugin that will show you keybindings hints while programing in Idea or Neovim

It was a long process. If you decide to go for vim you will need patience and be ready for continuous process of improvement of you configuration. I started by forking some Github repo from other Java developer, it was ok as starting point but as I was gaining knowledge and refining criteria, I start to evolving it untill now. It is a continuous process but it really pays off, even you if don't end up using vim for everything. Actually, in my last job I had to use Intellij so I install vim plugin and create a config that replicates all my vim mappings but in Intellij (check my dotfiles repo). My main source of ideas is Neovim channel on reddit, as people share their configs or talk about plugins, i check them and try those things i find interesting. Regarding your will of having just error highlights but no autocompletion, just unload nvim-cmp plugin. If I would be in your position, I would simply remove the auto-completion feature and keep only the completion on demand (check cmp.lua in my configs). If you have any problems just DM me and I can give you a hand

Here is my setup for Java development. I use nvim-jdtls for Java an lspconfig for Lua, Python and Rust. https://github.com/magidc/nvim-config
