The cognitive load of keeping track of all the open delimiters. In my perceived experience, every time a delimiter is opened, it automatically closes, allowing you to move away from it without thinking. Even in places where this is not avai

I have this turned on in my code editors and Obsidian. The main advantage is reducing the cognitive load. You don’t have to double-check whether you remembered to close your string, bracket, or parenthesis — it’s just there.

I’ve never bought from AliExpress, but I’m pretty sure everyone does this. Customers are mostly looking for product reviews, not reviews on sellers. For example, take a mouse from Logitech. Even if five sellers sell the product, it’s better

I went this way as well. I used to try and make all my notes in Notion. But found the lack of offline support and the mobile app very limiting. Then I tried Apple Notes with a framework called "Forever Notes". Obsidian does everyt

I used to have a hybrid setup of paper as an offloading tool + Notion as a knowledge management system. However, since moving to Obsidian, I've never felt the need to use paper. Adding a line item in my daily note is much faster and ef

The camaraderie is amusing! When they banned beef in Bangalore, the entirety of Malayalis there continued to collectively call beef something else and that system worked wonderfully!

What other popular stores exist? And I assume you sideload those books to Kobo afterwards? In that case, is the experience of reading sideloaded books inferior to that of reading store bought books?

What are the prices compared to Amazon's? Books are generally cheaper here in the subcontinent. I did a price comparison of 30 books and found out that Kindle editions cost significantly lesser than Kobo. And Kobo editions cost slightl

Image Playground is available for iPhones too. I haven't used it on the Mac yet. But I've send people their AI generated images and everyone's been pretty impressed by it

There is just one problem. It'd have been good if they asked for your country before the questionnaire. $30,000 salary for a Software Developer seems less in America, but that is huge in some other countries
