Not Wikipedia Entry

I had an entry at Wikipedia for years, then it was removed in what I think was a 1–1 vote. Big ups for the person opposed to my notability . People have tried in the years since to add an article about me back, but they continue to be challenged on that issue. You’re supposed to be covered by med

Glenn Fleishman interrogates the past

Why does vim keep defaulting to new and more ugly color schemes. And WTF did it decide to switch to dark mode. I use vi because I want the same editing experience I had 30 years ago, not because I want new fangled crap added to it! And yes, get off my damn lawn!

"The government is providing interest free loans of $52.7 million to two companies to boost the number of electric vehicle public chargers around the country.

The zero-interest loans will go to ChargeNet and Meridian Energy, who are investing $60m in capital, and would see 2574 new charge points, 1374 DC fast chargers and 1200 AC chargers.

I enjoyed Project Hail Mary. If you've never read the book, and enjoyed The Martian, I highly recommend the book (excellent) or the movie (very good), and recommend you do not watch the trailer and go in unspoilt as the book/movie is all about the progressive discovery, and from all accounts the trailer gives away far too much.
I remain convinced that Purchases with Paid Upgrades is the best alignment of interests for the developer and customers.
