Can you give an example how that would happen?

If you happened to like one of your test bakings particularly then you couldn’t reproduce it as accurately unless your method is consistent enough. So you wouldn’t benefit that much if the test was success, I suppose. But I don’t really do much baking so I don’t know how difficult it is to get it right and how much it matters.

I think he meant having the 3,5 mm jack in a phone.

The latter part sounds like PC speaker but the first part doesn’t. How does the first part work? Pulse width modulation to play samples or something like that?

I’ve always thought that macros in vim are slow and clumsy to use. You have to think about getting back to initial state as you record if your intent is to repeat the macro several times. If you make a mistake you have to either record an action that corrects the mistake or edit the macro later after recording. You have to know beforehand how many times you want to repeat the macro or run it one at a time which is clumsy at least with Finnish keyboard layout.

Norm command is much faster to use for my purposes because I can use it for several lines at a time without thinking about the state. I can use it with ranges or with g/re/ and v/re/ commands. If I make a mistake I just delete it. Only thing on the plus side I can think of for macros is it’s WYSIWYG approach. You have to have a visual editor in your mind when you write long norm commands.

Here’s a tip for you: use :%norm @a to run the macro in register a for every line of the file.

I’ve heard of it too. You would need an analytical balance to get accurate measurements weighing a piece of paper. Just cut out the part you want to take an integral of, then cut out a piece of paper with known size (or cut several pieces with different sizes to get more accurate results) and weigh each of them. I guess this used to be cheaper and faster than using computers when computers were big and expensive.

That Thumby thing seems interesting but holy hell… How am I supposed to play that? I Guess it’s a great birthday present for a pet ant indeed.

I also had a GP2x. Would be nice to play with it still but unfortunately it doesn’t turn on anymore. No idea what’s wrong with it. Though it also had a rubbish joystick so would need to fix that too in order to make it playable.

I don’t know if it’s better because I haven’t tried vimium c. I had only heard about vimperator and when I looked it up on firefox add-ons it redirected to tridactyl page. Tridactyl is inspired of pentadactyl which is a fork of vimperator.
