vimscript/viml, which is the basis of extending vim, regularly shows up as one of the worst languages to work with. http://geeksta.net/geeklog/exploring-expressions-emotions-github-commi… vim is great, but most of its great features are at the end of a very difficult (but necessary) learning curve. The learning curve for developing plugins is even steeper (and unnecessarily so). In contrast, most people can pick up and use textmate instantly. They can alter the extensions easily, since everything is done in a sane script environment (python/ruby). They can also share/alter/manage their extensions more easily without causing conflicts. Pathogen/vundle are recent vim plugins that finally make this easier for vimmers. In a sense, textmate changed the nature of what an editor was about. I think extensions are a large part of an editor's value now. ST2, vim, and others are now following textmate's approach, and I admit, they're doing a better job of it than textmate. However, you still have to give credit to the originator.

Both "Privacy Police" (perhaps it should be "Policy"?) and "Terms of Service" links at the bottom of https://www.chatgptexporter.com/en return simply "not found". It also appears that an account is required? For something like this, a privacy policy and clear ToS are critical, especially when there are other private options like this ChatGPT to Markdown bookmarklet: https://geeksta.net/tools/chatgpt-to-markdown/ .

Exactly. The idea that carbohydrates, which have been the staple of most human diets for millennia, are somehow suddenly toxic makes no sense. Complex carbohydrates are fine. What's gone wrong in the US is that we are eating more processed carbohydrates along with way more chicken and cheese and our portion sizes and overall calorie intake have gone up significantly: http://geeksta.net/visualizations/calories-us/ Excess consumption leads to obesity, which correlates strongly with just about every major chronic illness. Portion sizes are a big part of the problem. Every time I come back to the US after living in Asia I'm shocked at how ridiculously large restaurant serving sizes are.

The article is here: http://geeksta.net/geeklog/exploring-expressions-emotions-github-commi… The article has more graphs, satisfying some curiosities.

I feel like I've seen this recently on HN Eh, cannot find it - I guess we just talk a lot about commit messages. http://www.hnsearch.com/search#request/all&q=commit+messages&s… https://www.google.com/search?q=site%3Aycombinator.com+commit+messages… Maybe it was this one, but I swear it was more recent: http://andrewvos.com/2011/02/21/amount-of-profanity-in-git-commit-mess… http://geeksta.net/geeklog/exploring-expressions-emotions-github-commi…

I wonder how this codebase would rank in the GitHub emotions analysis [1] [1]: http://geeksta.net/geeklog/exploring-expressions-emotions-github-commi…
