export MANPAGER="nvim +Man!"
Using Vim's built in ft-man-plugin [1] as the default man pager seems to go pretty far towards resolving what the author is complaining about.Links work, and it respects the indentation when soft wrapping lines. It isn't doing full reflow or regenerating the page, but it maintains legibility while soft wrapping, and messing up indentation is my main annoyance with less... You can improve less by chopping lines -S by default, but then you have horizontal scrolling so neither is great.
[0] In Vim, you can use K to open a man page for the word under the cursor
I liked the idea of using nvim but i rewrote it with bash function for easier argument handling
nman () {
if [ $# -ne 1 ]; then
echo "Usage: nman <command>"
return 1
fi
command nvim "+hide Man $1"
}Economist what you think central bank does exactly that this is somehow too far?
open -n file.pdf : opens new instance of Preview application which is useful if you want to open the same file twice (for example to look at different pages at once).
caffeinate -d : prevents display turning off, useful if you want to look at display without moving mouse.

This is the opposite of claiming that people should become more moral. This is setting rules. They shouldn't be set around "morality," they should be set around established civil liberties.
1) I don't understand this argument. As if we don't absolutely do this all the time. Theft as a concept is impossible to completely prevent yet we still know it to be illegal. Same with Vandalism. The supreme court just made it legal to prosecute the homeless. Hell there are countries were suicide is illegal.
2) You say this as if a room temp superconductor is something that endless dollars aren't spent on trying to achieve.
> They shouldn't be set around "morality," they should be set around established civil liberties.
These are not whole distinct things. They are two overlapping circles. No one but the most unscrupulous of lawyers conceive of these a 2 wholly distinct entities.
Unethical or "uncivil" behavior is something that happens and to act like we have are hands are tied and shouldn't adapt to address this because our hands are tied because there are unintended consequences is asinine and impractical.
