That's why I use "AI Agents"

If you take this to ILM's The Volume, you can prove that The Mandolorian is real.
I tried something similar to this, but I didn't like it. After using it for a bit, I realized I often use commands other than i to get into insert mode. For example, I may use ci" to edit everything inside a pair of quotation marks. I wrote a bit more about my setup here: https://jeffamcgee.com/using-a-vim-clutch.html

I don't think the IRB would take too kindly to running Jepsen-style tests on human brains.
Re:Bringing Wide Color to Instagram on Monday January 09, 2017 @04:37PM (#13360025)
I have a 2016 MBP w/ touchbar, and depending on which color display profile I select in System Preferences, sometimes I can see it, and other times I can't.
If you use es5-shim (https://github.com/kriskowal/es5-shim), you can say movePlayer.bind(this, "north") on older browsers.
Re:JSON API on Saturday May 04, 2013 @02:15AM (#5654215)
The twitter API originally used pages, but they realized it was a mistake: https://dev.twitter.com/docs/working-with-timelines . The way the facebook API does it is a lot more sane: http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/api/pagination... .

I think that you should specify the format for cursor based paging of resource collections. One way to do it would be to require a url to get more results:

    {
      "posts": [...]
      "meta": {
        "next":"/posts/search?q=baseball&after=1234"
      }
    }
Another option would be for it to be a key/value pair that must be added to the url:

    {
      "posts": [...]
      "meta": {
        "next":"after=1234"
      }
    }
Either way, rest clients should treat it as a meaningless string.

That's actually already been done: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shape_note . The hymnals at my grandparent's church actually have shaped notes.
