The Cloverfield Paradox (2018)

Orbiting a planet on the brink of war, scientists test a device to solve an energy crisis, and end up face-to-face with a dark alternate reality.

In the evening Jaiden and I watched The Cloverfield Paradox. Jaiden didn't like the movie and mostly didn't watch. I think the movie is OK, I watched it for the second time, and rate it a 6 out of 10.

Jurassic Park computers in excruciating detail

After I mentioned a Jurassic Park anecdote the other day, I watched the movie again. I must have seen it at least ten times now. This time, I researched every computer/software I spotted.

In the early afternoon I watched photos of hardware used in the Jurassic Park movie. Because I owned SGI hardware in the past it was a little trip down memory lane.

To Fold or Not To Fold in Vim

Each time I open in vim my freeCodeCamp Python course notes, which is a Markdown file, it starts folded. I prefer to see the entire file at start up so I added the following to my vimrc:

autocmd BufRead *.md normal zR

With zR meaning: open all folds in the file. The opposite is zM. While editing I prefer to toggle folding with za.
