I never asked for this!

It really depends on the role you are looking for. If working with data and doing analysis, you need some knowledge in stats and probability. If you are working on simulations, you will need basic calculus and algebra. If you are looking at game development, you will need basic trigonometry and vector arithmetic. The one thing you don’t need is mental arithmetic because you have a computer.

That being said, you can get by without these skills, it just becomes harder to see what you need to do, even if you would know how to implement it. This is alleviated if you are working in a team however.

Depends how much time you spend in a text editor. If it is just for a few config edits and stuff, honestly there is little reason to learn. The real benefit is if you spend a lot of time editing text due to the time saved using more powerful commands. There is the additional benefit that vi/vim is installed on practically any Linux box, so you will almost always have a familiar editor to hand in an unfamiliar environment.

Go through the tutorial. It is quite good and teaches things incrementally with real world examples. Just run vimtutor to start.

There are 3 states: just about to kill, killing, and just killed.

I hate it so much I can’t even put it into words.

I think children go in dictionaries so you can look them to via name (key).

Thanks for the suggestions. Starting with Blackshirts and reds now.

Thanks, that is a lot to sink my teeth into!

Do you have a good starting point? I have a rudimentary understanding of Marxism, but not much in the way of details.

Also, you should know that complaining about Opportunity’s laws is considered verbal littering!

Fusion is effectively renewable. Use a small portion of energy to do electrolysis and you got your fuel. We won’t be running out of water any time soon.

FYI, you have 3 clipboards in X11. You have your standard clipboard usually used with Ctrl-C, Ctrl-V, like in Windows. You also have your primary clipboard, which copies any text you highlight and can be pasted with middle mouse button. The secondary clipboard is typically not used. If you don’t like the middle mouse paste, stick to the way you are used to. I learnt to make use of the primary clipboard and find that I always realise just how much I miss it when I need to use a windows system.

Same, I thought it was used commonly too.

To be fair there is so much JPEG compression on the image, you can’t see much of anything.

It isn’t misusing metric, it just simply isn’t metric at all.

Phrod?
