Maybe in certain anti-intellectual crowds. But not here.

Reddit behavior shouldn't restrict you elsewhere.

> LSP just worked

Hi, just browsing. Where are you usually having issues with LSP these days? Is it a vim issue specifically, or related to your setup?

I believe LSP works across a multitude of editors by now.

What helix gives you is opinionated LSP support. With vim you first have to add some configuration and choose key bindings. I have used LSPs with vim before, but I wasn't sure which configuration makes the most sense. In addition, helix is optimized for discoverability: You get context menus for basic editing commands and LSP commands. This really helps with learning how to take advantage of the editor and the LSP features.

I'm currently discovering Helix because I'm creating an LSP. I had tried to do the work in Zed, but Zed requires compilation with each update. It's for the sake of sandboxing, but it slows everything down immensely.

> in-situ

I believe you mean ex situ:

> By contrast, ex situ methods involve the removal or displacement of materials, specimens, or processes for study, preservation, or modification in a controlled setting, often at the cost of contextual integrity.

Might as well use the correct words if you want to talk above people's heads.

First: No need to be rude, "in situ" is a very commonly used phrase among English speakers, as should be evident from the Wikipedia article [1] you yourself cited

Second: The normal Firefox translate feature replaces the text in the page with the translated text - retaining its styling, position, context w/ images, etc. The right click menu, does not. I described the right click menu as "not in situ" which is correct.

> "in situ" is a very commonly used phrase among English speakers

I would challenge the "very common" claim.

But sure, the phrase is in use. Mostly not in tech, though.

And you are using it wrong.

If you wanted to express "in-place translation", you could have done so using your native tongue.

You're welcome.

Must be tough for those managers running macOS.

ftp support wasn't dropped from firefox until 2021.

Having used whisper and noticed the useless quality due to their 30-second chunks, I would stay far away from software working on even a shorter duration.

The short duration effectively means that the transcription will start producing nonsense as soon as a sentence is cut up in the middle.

> I would want such information accessible without having to go hunt for it.

Where exactly, if not in the FM?

I like the idea of questioning status quo, but not so sure this makes a whole lot of sense in 2025.

Meerkartor was developed to project a 3D GLOBE onto a flat surface.

We already have non-meerkartor projections such as the classic globe that should be found in every class-room, and modern digital variations such as Google Earth.

And the meerkartor projections we do use:

In USA, the meerkartor projection centers on the USA.

In europe, the meerkartor projection centers on Europe.

And in asia, guess where the center is?

Why can't Africa just start using their own projection too, with their preferences?

Very cool project from the early rust game-dev era, I used to follow it while it was in development. Seems to have been dead for 5 years now, tho.
