    1. Bram Moolenaar, Author of the Open Source Vim Code Editor, Has Died
      from Steven J. Vaughan-Nichols
      Vim is one of the most popular programming editors of all time, a simple text editor that still survives in the age of Visual Studio, Emacs and other, fancier, code editors.

    Logan, one of the indoor cats, got outside sometime last week. He's been coming to the door, but if someone comes near to open it, he runs.

    Meanwhile, one of the outdoor cats has started running in when someone opens the door. He doesn't stay long. He just looks around and then he's ready to go back outside. I think he's just trying to establish that the doorway is not the limit of his allowable territory.

    One outdoor cat came up and sniffed my arm hanging down from the chair. Shortly after, another one came up on the other side and started licking my arm. It was hot, and I've been sweating, so this may be their way of telling me I need a bath.

    This seems to implicate some variety of #HPV affecting #D3 processing and also causing #ASD. However, it seems speculative ... more about correlations than proof of causation. However, I do know that some doctors recommend extra vitamin D for patients with ASD, so maybe there is something to it and this just doesn't find the proof.

In addition to his work on Vim, Moolenaar was an advocate for ICCF Holland, a non-governmental organization supporting AIDS victims in Uganda, and used the popularity of Vim to encourage users to donate to the organization. From July 2006 until September 2021, Moolenaar was employed by Google working in the Zürich office. He was able to spend part of his time maintaining Vim. Life and career Early life and education In 1985, Moolenaar graduated from the Delft University of Technology with a degree in electrical engineering.

    I remember a commercial from the early 1970s for a product called gobbledegook. It was some sort of mold that you squeezed in some semi-liquid foodlike substance, put down the top and cooked it for a few minutes.

    When finished, the result was something like a gummy worm.

    I don't recall anyone I knew getting one.

    That was the first time I had heard the word. I did not yet know that its origins go back to the 1940s. https://www.dictionary.com/browse/gobbledegook [www dictionary com]
