Why keep different filesystems outside of specific performance needs? I've experimented with weirder things, like Linux running on NTFS with the new kernel driver.

I like colors ... except when I don't and I've found black and white to be helpful for concentration! So my vim theme has 2 modes: color and monochrome (based on bold/underline/italics)

Colors are surprisingly helpful! Vim+Python might be more popular than Emacs+Lisp, so here's my rainbow mode plugin to help with Tabs: https://github.com/csdvrx/indent-rainbow

Constraint programming (and constraint propagation) is highly underrated. For those not familiar with it yet, this is what's used under the hood by things like systemd: you give a bunch of constraints (ex: service A before service B, s

It's very bizarre, but it points to some oddities and out-of-spec behavior I can't explain myself.

Indeed, it's s simplification. If you want to go down the TPM rabbit hole, read this interesting comment about IEEE 1667: https://github.com/MicrosoftDocs/windows-itpro-docs/issues/5...

by csdvrx 4y ago
There's a huge difference between TPM and IME: with TPM, you can put your own keys, and use the TPM to refuse payloads not signed with your keys (ex: a Windows install thumbdrive) With AMT/IME or BootGuard, you don't get that

Not sure I should have vouched for your comment but it was a funny illustration of the principle being discussed, and therefore relevant.

Do either handle the modifier bits when you remap? So that they are not set unless you want to?

On Windows, you use AHK to do that and way more. You know about Caps being Esc alone and Control when chorded? Likewise, AHK can turn the Alt keys in Home/End when pressed alone, and the Shift keys in PageUp/PageDown. One handed A
