That's what I wondered.
visidata is vim influenced.

This is why John MacFarlane designed djot https://djot.net/
On github, I see an asciinema tag, but no explanation of the differences?
So they were the baddies?
This could be a nice pre-filter for VisiData…?

To extend your Lego metaphor to the question of “is a lot of this irrelevant?“ Does your Lego model of a city need to have interior floors, furniture, and fixtures in order to satisfy your requirements? Perhaps in some cases, but not in most.
What's so complicated about his legacy? I read the article and don't see it.
Re:Defensive Communication (1961) on Thursday November 14, 2024 @11:15AM (#42137662)
I provide this because it was the basis of this paper: "”Be Nice”: Wikipedia Norms for Supportive Communication" https://reagle.org/joseph/2010/06/reagle-nrhm-special-collab...

> Wikipedia is acknowledged to have been home to “some bitter disputes”. Indeed, conflict at Wikipedia is said to be “as addictive as cocaine”. Yet, such observations are not cynical commentary but motivation for a collection of social norms. These norms speak to the intentional stance and communicative behaviors Wikipedians should adopt when interacting with one another. In the following pages, I provide a survey of these norms on the English Wikipedia and argue they can be characterized as supportive based on Jack Gibb’s classic communication article “Defensive Communication”.

I’ve been waiting for them to release a standalone markdown editor, but it’s been a couple years already now.

You might want to check out perplexity.AI. It has access to many of these models, and it’s trivial to switch models mid conversation and ask it to repeat itself, so that you can see the differences.

I had to abandon MC on Mac because it didn’t work with zsh. https://midnight-commander.org/ticket/4198
Sethi did something like this in 2012 and his minder could slap him if he got distracted.

I can’t see what this offers over pandoc markdown or it’s successor:

pandoc has great citation support, not sure what you mean by macros.

when I wrote about exit in open communities ("410 Gone - Infocide in Open Content Communities") 10 years ago, I included the _why case, and here his work is restored a decade later!

Re:I'm retiring from the engineering profession on Sunday May 29, 2022 @12:20AM (#31546343)
Read his excellent book Confessions. Because he criticizes unethical/corrupt engineering practices his enemies say he is bringing ill repute upon the profession and violating the terms of his license.

The Maestral client does the trick for me: stays silent and works.
It is perhaps a false dichotomy to say that you cannot give formative and summarize feedback.
Re:How to work with me on Tuesday March 29, 2022 @08:22PM (#30850100)
Huh! I’ve had something like this since the 90s, working with smart tech folk. I haven’t shared it with anyone in over a decade because I know how weird it would appear to normals.

Sadly, I’m still stuck with 68 so I can keep using the external editor plugin.
