   I know little about flying, so I'm not sure if this would be useful, or even if it's done already, but I wonder if it isn't possible to arrange the flight warnings/alarms into some kind of heirarchy or order them by prio

   I'm one who turns them off. When disabled, you can just hit C-down-mouse-3 (i.e., ctrl-right click) anywhere in a buffer to get the global menu in the form of a pop-up. That works well enough for me for the rare occasions when I want

   I'll take a shot (PLUG -- Here's /my/ explanation of Perlin noise: [1]). 1) It's approximately band-limited. In other words, it goes up and down in a somewhat random looking way that is neither too fast nor to slow

   Perhaps "cross-dominant" ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross-dominance ) [which I just came across] is a better term for people like us. I don't view myself as ambidextrous because I'm definitely n

   That's pretty close to how I do things and I've tended to view the dichotomy similarly. To add to the comment, when batting I'm more comfortable right handed and when kicking I prefer my right foot. I've also grown acc

    I had the same thought. To give an example and add some context: just last week I thought of a possible bug and gap in the test coverage for a personal project. Within a Zsh prompt, I pulled the latest revision from Bitbucket using Mercuri

    That is absolutely my experience as a parent as well. Usually when there's just one of us like that its because of an abnormal situation which adds stress as well. Just keeping the household running becomes a feat of endurance. And r

    One style that I've seen that I really like is having the help system be its own first-class subcommand. E.g., just `p4 help` gives you the quick summary with a list of available subcommands, then something like `p4 help filelog` give

    We did -- at least in some places. I remember as a kid sometimes going with my parents to the local brewery. They'd bring back their empty bottles and pick up a fresh pack at a discount.

    I sit next to Per at work. :-) Blocks of primary rays tend to be about 16x16 by default, though this is tunable. MIP maps do greatly help with textures for incoherent rays. But we are also able to use the same trick for geometry; seconda

    "Stargate" was also the name of a 1981 arcade game. [1] It was the sequel to "Defender." On that basis, I wouldn't be shocked if it were named for the game. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S
