+EconTalk, Future of Cars and Telecommuting

+(This has been comment on `the episode`_ of EconTalk)
+
+It seems to me that however this interview was awesome (and it
+was) it is still in the danger of being the same kind as the
+prediction about colourful faxes.
+
+I think we are standing on the edge of the end of the Industrial
+(or Modern) age and something new is awaiting us. One particular
+aspect which relates to the transportation and cars is in my
+opinion that employees are moving back from their offices. With
+the advancement of Internet and other higher forms of
+communication it makes less and less sense to commute an hour or
+so to some other building and work there, when everything
+required for work can be at home. Why to build specialized
+expensive buildings just for working?
+
+The idea of “leaving home to work” was completely strange to
+people before year approximately 1800 and I am not sure whether
+we cannot be estranged to it again.
+
+Of course, there is zillion problems with it, but it seems to me
+that this could be as big revolution as was the Industrial
+revolution. And yes, everything will have to change: our homes
+(too small to spend most of our times there), our cities (too
+many now useless office buildings), our way of life (socializing
+won't be done primarily in the context of work). Perhaps we may
+see again rise of deurbanization and people moving out of the
+large metropolis to smaller communities. Who knows?
+
+But certainly, such process would completely change our
+expectations put on cars and transportation.
+
+More on this here_.

+vim v. IDE for Python programming
+#################################
+
+:date: 2017-10-30
+:category: computer
+:tags: blogComment, python, vim, emacs, git, FLOSS
+
+(somebody asked me in email about my opinions on vim v. IDE for
+Python programming, I think it could be worthy of being available
+to others as well)
+
+ Obviously you are interested in Python and Vim. Therefore I'd
+ like to ask you whether you use a Python IDE. If so, is it
+ a Vim-based one or a different tool like Eric or PyCharm (by
+ JetBrains with its headquarters in Prague).
+
+NetBeans was a Czech project, Eclipse and JetBrains just have
+labs here (JetBrains is more a Russian company, headquartered in
+St. Petersburg, as far as I know, although I wonder whether they
+won’t follow all smart Russians and move out of the reach of Mr.
+Putin).
+
+Concerning me and IDE. No, I don't write my emails in my $EDITOR,
+but that's just because I work for Red Hat as a Desktop QA, so
+I am trying to use our products as much as possible (i.e.,
+switching between Thunderbird and Evolution with local mails on
+IMAP server on localhost). Otherwise, everything else (from
+Python to writing a novel) I do in vim.
+
+However, I constantly feel in background that there is something
+wrong with using gqap in Normal mode when it is year 2017, so
+I tried I believe almost all alternatives (with Linux from 2000,
+most of the time having vim as my $EDITOR). From other editors
+(Emacs, gedit … I have even started
+https://gitlab.com/mcepl/gedit-rope, Sublime) to all possible
+IDEs (Eclipse with PyDev, NetBeans … just briefly, PyCharm, VS
+Code, yes, even Eric) and scenario is always the same. First
+moment is enchantment with new opportunities (e.g., I really
+liked Mylyn on Eclipse) and then hard life of trying to survive
+with the new environment. After grinding my teeth over the need
+to learn new stuff I always get to that state of uncontrollable
+rage when I have no clue how to do what I would like to do, but
+I know four keystrokes which would do it for me in vim. So, I am
+back with vim.
+
+Part of my problem is that I really don’t do large Python
+projects with zilion of files, classes, etc. in the Java meaning
+of the word. A colleague from the JBoss team was sitting next to
+me for many years. He was working almost all his hours on one
+project inside of the gigantic cloud of Java classes and symbols.
+For him there never was anything else than his IDE (originally
+Eclipse, now mostly IntelliJ IDEA), it was literally only program
+he run most of the day. He finally learnt how to run his unit
+tests inside of his IDE and then he just didn't use anything else
+(except, for some weird reason, he hated integrated support for
+git, so he used terminal just for that). When he needed that
+weird class in one of the other hundreds of classes it was just
+at his fingertips and love was good. The only other alternative
+of using editor was him using a debugger, which was again in his
+IDE.
+
+That is unfortunately (?) not how I work. I usually write just
+plenty of not so complicated Python scripts and I need to run
+them in bash all the time (or via some other command line utility
+in our testing server on the other side of the world). I don’t
+use complicated weird list of classes (aside from one or two
+external libraries we try to keep ourselves mostly inside of the
+stdlib), I mostly don't use debugger (usually ``logging.debug()``
+is the best debugging tool I can get anyway), so there is really
+not much I can expect from IDE.
+
+I tried some attempts to use some vim plugins for project-like
+organization, but I usually don’t use them in the end. I even use
+too little of vim-snippets (although these could be useful).
+
+In the end I have decided to stay with vim (and I maintain
+https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/mcepl/vim8/), but I think
+that your decision to use one or another depends a lot on the
+style of your work. I can imagine that with complicated large
+Django project you may be closer to my JBoss colleague and use
+good Python IDE (and if using professional PyCharm, you can use
+Django-specific support and/or SQL databases support). PyCharm
+has surprisingly good vim emulation (not just hjkl keys, which
+I don't use anyway, but really nice work with objects, like ci"
+or similar).
+
+The only thing which made me think for a second over VS Code from
+Microsoft was their debugger. Really slick, if you can use it,
+worthy of consideration.
+
+ Some of my colleagues developing big Python/Django projects
+ used PyDev (http://www.pydev.org/) or vim-pydjango
+ (https://github.com/yodiaditya/vim-pydjango) but switched to
+ PyCharm after a while.
+
+Just to note that vim-pydjango looks like one of those poorly
+stitched together collections of „everything I have currently on
+my disc“. I prefer to use original plug-ins themselves (ropevim
+or Jedi for code completion and jumping in the code, UltraSnips
+& vim-snippets, of course everybody has to have vim-fugitive
+installed, etc.). With the packages support now in vim8 (did
+I tell I maintain Fedora/RHEL builds of the latest vim8? ;), it
+is really no trouble to have multiple plug-ins constantly updated
+(put ~/.vim/pack into git repository and all individual modules
+as git submodules), and you get the latest code and the best
+support.
+
+ My younger colleagues say they were much more productive with
+ a good IDE and PyCharm is perhaps the best one, at least the
+ commercial version. I prefer open source tools with the full
+ feature set, so PyCharm would not be my first choice.
+
+There is free (both as in beer and as in free speech) version of
+PyCharm, but it doesn't have those special plugins for
+Django/SQL. Fedora/RHEL packages from one of my colleagues are on
+https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/phracek/PyCharm/ but I am
+sure you get them somewhere for any Linux distribution.
+
+However, as I said, better means different things for different
+people. Try some IDE and you can see how it works for you.
+
+ Do you have a recommendation? In case you use a Vim-based IDE
+ which one do you prefer? If you use Vim as pure text editor
+ and not as IDE: Do you have special plugins and settings for
+ Python?
+
+By the way, vim-based IDE (i.e., those vim-pydjango or
+https://github.com/python-mode/python-mode) are usually horrible
+combination of all worst parts of vim and IDE. Too heavy, not
+well maintained, and not as good as true IDE. Use vim plugins
+directly and sparingly.
+
+https://michiganlabs.com/2014/08/29/vim-python-ide/
+and
+https://blog.jetbrains.com/pycharm/2013/06/vim-as-a-python-ide-or-python-ide-as-vim/
+(yes, it is from marketing guy at JetBrains)
+
+are two articles worthy of consideration. However, the conclusion
+depends on you.
+
+ I myself take the standard Vim distribution maintained by
+ Bram and a small .vimrc with no real Python-specific
+ settings. For me that has been enough so far but I want to
+ find out if there is a better environment I can live with.
+
+I really believe that SOME plug-ins are worthy of installation.
+Below is the output of ``ls -1 -d ~/.vim/pack/*/*/*`` I have too
+many plugins, and there are many I don't use, but some (ALE for
+running pylint/flake8/etc. in background, fugitive for weirder
+aspects of life with git, vim-unimpaired, vim-textobj*,
+ultisnips, ropevim, Ack.vim with ripgrep) are seriously useful.::

+On Bono and art and idols
+#########################
+
+:date: 2017-10-20
+:status: draft
+:category: faith
+:tags: blogComment, celebrity, humility, orthoschesi, centered
+
+So, I was listening to another episode_ of the Blue Ocean Faith
+podcast (and boy, they should get `better URLs`_ for their
+website … anyway, focus!). And it was another of those Dave’s
+podcasts I put on so that I may fall asleep better and it
+completely didn’t work for tha purpose. I just had to get up and
+write what is whirling in my head.
+
+First about idols and to be cool I have to quote_ Martin Luther.
+
+ The First Commandment: Thou shalt have no other gods before Me
+
+ That is: Thou shalt have [and worship] Me alone as thy God.
+ What is the force of this, and how is it to be understood?
+ What does it mean to have a god? or, what is God? Answer: *A
+ god means that from which we are to expect all good and to
+ which we are to take refuge in all distress*, so that to have
+ a God is nothing else than to trust and believe Him from the
+ [whole] heart; as I have often said that the confidence and
+ faith of the heart alone make both God and an idol. If your
+ faith and trust be right, then is your god also true; and, on
+ the other hand, if your trust be false and wrong, then you
+ have not the true God; for these two belong together faith and
+ God. That now, I say, upon which you set your heart and put
+ your trust is properly your god.
+
+ -- Martin Luther: Large Catechism
+
+So, yes of course, all celebrity worshipping is bad, its worst.
+And yes it is so normal, because whenever we are not certain in
+our God, it is so easier to turn to something less we have
+crafted ourselves. However, this is not what I wanted to write
+about. For the next few paragraphs I wanted to finally explain
+with the absolute authority what is art and what art is not.
+Easy, right?
+
+And of course, the idea is not mine. After I have became
+Christian, I discovered whole new world of Christian music. Being
+who I am I was more interested in the non-worship folk Christian
+music. And in that time there was no bigger band in the Czech
+republic for the folk Christian music, than `Učedníci`_. And even
+better, when I was on one of the first Christian retreats with
+the poeple from my new church, they had concert just in the next
+village from us. So, of course, we all went there. I really liked
+their music, my freshly converted a bit puritanical soul was
+a bit easy with the motive of “Jonathan Livingston Seagull“ on
+which whole show was based a bit too ambiguous (years later
+I found that the show was a way better than the book). When the
+front man of the group was closing the evening, he wished us to
+see and enjoy great art. “What? You don’t know how to recognize
+what is art and what isn’t? It is easy. Just look on what the
+artists focuses.” And he mentioned Pink Floyd. They were
+certainly not shy to make the most bombastic show possible
+(arguably, they invented the idea of the most bombastic rock
+concerts on the stadium), but what’s remarkable that musicians
+themselves are obviously the least obvious part of everything.
+They are in the middle of crazy explosions, light, and
+everything, but they were usually in a bit shabby jeans and
+T-shirt.

+
+(Comment to `the article`_ by Dave Schmelzer on a Christian and
+politics)
+
+Hi, Dave,
+
+let me add couple of comments from this side of The Pond.
+
+First of all, of course, I blame completely confused American
+terminology, especially in the political matters. Here Socialists
+are not afraid to call themselves such, so they don't have to
+misuse a label of Liberal, which doesn't belong to them. Liberals
+here are mostly "let us alone" kind of people, mostly middle
+class entrepreneurs; small government, small taxes, but strongly
+anti-monopoly politics … that slogan is targeted both at
+government and at the large supranational business giants. And
+what you are saying is exactly what we would call Conservatism
+here (represented now for example by the German CDU and Frau
+Merkel or in the times when they are not wrecked by the lunacy of
+Brexit by the British Conservatives).
+
+Let me here quote my beloved Conservative thinker `Michael
+Oakshott`_ (he was a professionally philosopher in Oxford, so
+sometimes his writing is a bit heavy, but on the other hand he
+was a don in Oxford so his writing is always perfect): “In
+political activity men sail a boundless and bottomless sea; there
+is neither harbor for shelter nor floor for anchorage, neither
+starting point nor appointed destination.” Which is to say, that
+the most important part of Conservatism for me is that it is not
+ideology, it doesn't have any Communism or any shining ideal for
+which we need to sacrifice today. The biggest goal of politician
+is to deal with the current problems, not to drag his/her nation
+towards his ideal. (Also read “In Defense of Politics” by
+`Bernard Crick`_)
+
+In the same time, it seems to me that people who claim to be this
+kind of original Conservatives, tend to share Christian (or even
+more Reformed) scepticism towards human nature. Particularly from
+the deep distrust of human goodness comes both distrust towards
+government (which is in the end created by sinful humans) and
+certainly towards the great businessmen (greed may be the best
+organizing power of economics, but it is not something to be
+celebrated too much). Of course, here I have to mention `Russel
+Kirk`_ “The Conservative Mind”.

+ že jsou morálně radikální názory dost neuctivé k milionu
+ a půl našich spoluobčanů, tak efektivně dotlačili Bureše
+ k tomu, že v této chvíli jediná oficiální možnost jeho vlády
+ je s komunisty a Okamurou. Dáš přednost takové vládě (a
+ referendu o vystoupení z EU a NATO, např.) nebo třeba vládě
+ Ano, ODS a lidovců?
+
+ Neříkám, že jsem úplně pro tu druhou vládu, ale nežli tu
+ alternativu úplně odmítneš, tak je dobré uvážit všechny
+ důsledky. Berlusconiho (což mi připadne jako mnohem
+ případnější precedent pro Babiše nežli tolikrát omílaný
+ Trump) také nakonec nedostali ti, kteří proti němu bojovali
+ s pěnou u pusy, ale ti, kdo trpělivě nabízeli opravdové
+ řešení problémů, které se on tvářil řešit, a čekali až ho
+ jeho hříchy doženou.
+
+A myslel jsem při tom na Pithartovu Obranu politiky a na Michaela
+Oakeshotta.
+
+ In political activity men sail a boundless and bottomless
+ sea; there is neither harbor for shelter nor floor for
+ anchorage, neither starting point nor appointed destination.
