@matigo The company paid for most of it as they perceived my relocation as beneficial to business development.
Otherwise yes the visa and shipping costs of something like USD 10k would have been quite a burden.
Exactly one week until, once again, I move to another part of the world. And this time I'm taking the desk with me.
@matigo Hopefully not. Everything else has been stable so far and nvim hasn't crashed since.
@peemee I can't remember the last time I used a microwave, though I was delighted when I learnt it's the quickest way to get a baked potato (15 minutes in the microwave vs 1 hour in the oven).

For some unknown reason I managed to make neovim segfault on a 4kb Markdown file. How strange.
Somehow vim et al. were always, in my mind, in that category of apps that didn't crash.
@matigo My mentions have only been showing up to 2018-02-02 for the last week.

@matigo Something I've observed to varying extents across UI design is the tendency to assume that things will happen immediately.
In this case I'd downloaded a video from Twitch — 4GB — and the transfer was not instantaneous (and no one would expect it to be). Some UI confirmation was essential.
It's increasingly not an entirely unfair assumption to make given the progress in hardware and software — a great deal of videos would transfer near-instantly — but it's a dangerous one, in my opinion, and I would happily not go in that direction.
That said, my general perspective on (non-touch) UI design is that we peaked somewhere around the Windows 2000 era and that flat design has been a curse all around.
Update: it turns out there was a transfer happening in the background. Just no progress bar or other indication of life.
The iPad has a great screen but that's really all it has going for it at the moment…
The MacOS/iPadOS file transfer process is embarrassingly bad. I've been trying to drag and drop a mp4 into the VLC section of "Files" for 5 minutes with no results.
When did file transfer by USB become so hard?
