vidir allows editing of the contents of a directory in a text editor.
A slightly eccentric way to remove or rename files, admittedly, but I quite like it.
This is super-useful. Back when I used Emacs, I’d use `dired-mode`’s ability to edit directories when I need to do some fancy renaming stuff, but now that I’m using Vim, this is a life-saver.
A thought experiment: Assume that we have some metric of human quality — whatever you desire, be it IQ, kindness, creativity, or some more nebulous construction of what you think makes people “good”. If there was some method which would kill off half of humanity, but double this quantity value in all of the survivors, would it be worth it? What if it were 30% dead and the survivor quality sextupled? Is there any point were this tradeoff starts becoming worth it/not worth it?
(Personally, I’d be okay with 99% gone for epsilon increase, but that’s probably just the exhausted frustration talking).
Small Demons “Welcome to the Storyverse”
This was a fun one to make and to be a part of, and it all starts with a really powerful idea—that there’s value in connecting the details in all the stories in all the books in the world. Say you’re reading High Fidelity and want to listen to every piece of music. And some of those songs are mentioned in other stories, too. Small Demons. Not bad, right?
A million thanks to the Small Demons team (great people) and everyone who helped make this.
Wow, this is amazing! We are totally living in the future, you guys.

Second pull LIKE A BOSS
This is from yesterday.
I wasn’t going to post photos of myself on this Tumblr, especially not in underwear, but I felt this was too good not to share. Besides, nothing you wouldn’t see at a beach.
Not pictured: ripped up thumb, bashed up shins, bruised knees, shoulders, collarbone, and pervasive DOMS.
Worth it. Next time, though, no heavy deadlifts the day before practice.
PAIN IS WEAKNESS LEAVING THE BODY.
Nice job! That looks bad as hell
