In the last race I saw from the iRacing streamer Dan Suzuki, he had some kind of visual spotter - I think it was from Kapps - where at least you saw the position of the car - how far ahead or behind - on the side. Perhaps that‘s implemented

Do you have any clue how the spotter gets the info of near opponents? So the basis for the „left/right side“ messages. I would really like to have a visual spotter similar to Assetto Corsa Competizione.

I’m using gmail + mutt + isync. Because some people recommend offlineimap, I used it before and isync is better in any regard.

isync doesn’t let the fan of my laptop cpu run. Yes, no joke, I could detect the running of offlineimap by the fan.

I have to say, that I enjoy using the Rust replacements for ‘grep’ and ‘find’ - ‘ripgrep’ and ‘fd’ - quite a bit. The ui of a few old unix programs isn’t the best.

The point isn’t if it’s a good idea, but that a program shouldn’t misbehave.

Having to be aware which character in a path is considered as special by which program, just doesn’t scale very well. It shouldn’t differentiate what an os and a program consider as a valid path.

Feeling sad about it doesn't mean you're going to force your children having children. You can have feelings without acting on them, but just perceive them. When Joscha talks about controlling your emotions this certainly would go

I'm pretty sure that's not what Joscha meant by taking control of your emotions. His point was certainly more in the direction of not unnecessarily suffering or creating harm by following your emotions. Following your emotions reg
