I used to have those elevators where I worked and everybody hated them. I think the algorithm was tuned for efficiency, so you’d be waiting for an elevator for minutes as it tries to batch everyone up, while a dozen other elevators sit idle

That's true, and JSON is probably the best choice as a lowest common denominator given the protocol's intent to be language agnostic. You'd want to implement a language server for language X in X itself, and most languages ha

I wonder if these performance issues apply to all language extensions that rely on a language server (implemented in VSCode or otherwise). From what I understand, since JSON [0] is used over the wire between the editor and the language serv

Along with the keyboard, easy access to the official hardware maintenance manuals are the best aspects of ThinkPads. Lenovo also has a part number lookup [1] tool you can use to find parts that could’ve been optioned with your machine, if y

Can you please report back on your progress? I love to see novel approaches to technical documentation that can make the content more digestible.

Thanks for sharing! I've recently started learning C++ and have had to grapple with the complexities of CMake. I'm only a few pages into the paper but it's already done a great job at distilling the problem domain and the cor

I absolutely love walking. Two walks a day (typically a long ~45 minute one after breakfast, and a shorter ~20 minute walk after lunch) are non-negotiable activities. I feel _so_ much better after a walk; I have better concentration and inc

I don’t think it has tabs —- you might need to have a look at Tmux and handling tabs/split panes using that. It’s 100% worth learning though. Tmux is available almost everywhere and it’s an easy way to increase your productivity!

I used Muse during the private beta and found it to be a refreshing take on free-form note taking. I've yet to figure out how to incorporate it into my workflow, but I'm very, very happy to see a passionate team working on fluid,

That would be awesome, but it would also mean that IFE systems would actually need to be made well! The current ones from Panasonic seem to have caught up to the original iPad: https://www.panasonic.aero/our-offerings/s

I've seen a few attempts at "structure editors" which are keyboard driven but limit what you can type so it's always syntactically correct. Fructure is an example which looked promising! https://www.youtube.co

I guess it's good for distribution. I live in Australia and I'm more inclined to purchase these books since I get free international shipping via Prime. But being the _only_ distribution channel? Probably not the best!

My favourite feature of Pharo (which I believe it inherited from Squeak) from my very limited experience with Smalltalk environments is the ability to search for methods via example. In the Finder window, you can type an example of an input
