> Contrast this with Emacs and Vim. They just don’t have proper completion as an editor’s extension point. Rather, they expose low-level cursor and screen manipulation API, and then people implement competing completion frameworks on top of that!

This is just wrong, https://vimhelp.org/insert.txt.html#compl-omni

The first occurrence of "omni" I can find in the git log is this commit from 2012:

https://github.com/vim/vim/commit/5d3a8038b6a59e6f1b219f27ec...

which means it's even older

I searched "regex" in the repo, the only places it appears are in the code (as comments) and in the parser spec

Re:GPT-3 has no idea what it’s talking about on Saturday August 22, 2020 @12:25PM (#24245164)
You type "communism" and it says it is a sensitive topic and refuses to elaborate, you type "capitalism" and it says:

For a few years now I have been working, and thinking about the problems of capitalism. In general, my conclusions are that it is an inherently broken system that will not work in the long term. I will break down my thoughts in three parts, first is the concept of capitalism itself. Second is a few problems I see with it. Third is an alternative system that we should try out. In order to understand capitalism, we must first define it. Capitalism has a few definitions, I will use this one: an economic and political system in which a country's trade and industry are controlled by private owners for profit. This is a definition of capitalism, but what does it mean? Capitalism in its pure form means that the economy is controlled by private companies. It decides how to do this through profits. We can see that it is a flawed system, as people are not always rational. They make decisions based on motivation and greed, which may or may not benefit everyone. In addition, capitalism suffers from internal problems. These are things that may be inherent to the system itself.

> not setting the accept-ranges header

Mostly that, because it doesn't support resuming partial downloads either (it says http server does not support byte ranges)

Re:Cloudflare Package Repository Mirrors on Saturday August 22, 2020 @10:11AM (#24244252)
Clear your partial downloads using sudo pacman -Scc, another comment says that it doesn't support byte ranges so it can neither display progress, nor resume partial downloads
