• regular Vim has lua?!

  Lua is quite small, encouraging distros to include it. The ubuntu gvim has, and the gvim AppImage linked from vim.org does. The default Makefile from github is set up to not include it, but you can uncomment one line there to get it. Source: over 1 year ago

• is there a way to make highlighted text persistent after quit when using something like [match Search /\%'.line('.').'l/] ?

  I've not used vimwiki locally (tho I'm old enough to remember the Vim wiki on vim.org :), but I think what you are wanting to do is extend vimwiki's syntax file. I presume it installs one at $VIMRUNTIM/syntax or or ~/.vim/syntax. If this sounds right, then create a ~/.vim/after/syntax/vimwiki.vim file and place your match command in there. Then everytime you open a vimwiki file it should apply your... Source: over 1 year ago

• vim.org - Is there a reason for this 1800s-esque design?

  Vim.org has 242k total visitors, tailwindcss.com has 4.4m, planetscale.com has 412k, jpl.nasa.gov has 2.6m, all built with Tailwind, all several years younger than Vim's website. Unnecessary comparison, unnecessary defence.

• OpenAI no longer Open. "We were wrong [...] I fully expect that in a few years it’s going to be completely obvious to everyone that open-sourcing AI is just not wise."

  Open AI's work is based off of Google's research paper. Google believes in open source! https://opensource.google/ Google will save us. Google will make their AI open source. Their motto is "Don't be evil"! ... But I'm still waiting for their source code of YouTube, Gmail, drive, maps, docs, sheets, forms, search, ads, translate, sites, etc. Source: over 1 year ago

• "My Reaction to Dr. Stroustrup’s Recent Memory Safety Comments"

  It's not on google github/their open source git host(for comparison, the canonical go repo is), their readme makes no mention of google, wikipedia says "The language is expected to have a 1.0 release in 2024 or 2025.[4]",. Source: over 1 year ago

• Questions about the controller

  Google would have to open source the controller firmware for people to find a way to make Bluetooth work, but there are no discontinued Google products on opensource.google at all. Source: over 1 year ago

• controller software open source?

  Https://opensource.google/ is not listing any dead Google products my dude. Source: over 1 year ago

• There are no open issues or pull requests on Flask

  And side note, don't bring up both MS and Google when both are well known to make use of FOSS. Google has an entire page about how they both make use of and release OSS. Source: about 2 years ago
