I appreciate your attempt to help, but what works for your body may not work for others - I'm looking for general ergonomic principles backed up by sound scientific evidence.

As someone who may slowly be working his way toward RSI, I'd like to try to mitigate it before I get to the point of the author. To that end, I'd like to try to build a maximally ergonomic setup (for the back and neck in addition

I avoid needing to rely on my human memory (recall) when possible - if my phone is around, I make voice notes on it that are automatically synced to desktop which are then transcribed using Whisper[1]. When I do need to recall, I just use t

I would love something like this that just does an HTTP request instead of sending an email so it can integrate more easily with the rest of my infrastructure.

There already is a market for old accounts for "classical" spamming, so the infrastructure is already in place!

I am aware of the formal definition of logic. If this is all that tpxl meant, then it's an extremely pedantic and useless objection.

Sure, you can also say that some language models write like humans - however, even pre-GPT-2, I read several high-schooler's essays that read very much like these ML-generated products, so even if you don't believe that the rela

What prevents Discord from doing a synchronized change of their web client and server APIs and using accesses to the old API to detect Ripcord users, then banning them?

This is a very beautiful and interesting project, and contains some themes that I've been thinking about myself recently (representations of code vs. data, interactive development environments, text markup, wikis). I'm curious as

I really like this idea! You can find it in all sorts of places. Here's one in video games: there are a lot of League of Legends videos by a channel called "Skill Capped" that each claim to have "one neat rule" or &

u801e was advocating for the removal of said features, so this comment is incorrect and irrelevant.

It has fuzzy-filtering and auto-select - does dired have those? I think it's closer to helm-find-file.

This appears to be "helm-find-file" for those who want to use bash, and not Emacs.

I have the "automatically jump to a folder" setting turned on in my editor's file browser (Emacs with Helm), and it works much better than you're predicting - I rarely end up more folders down than I am shooting for, I d

Heh, I implemented almost exactly this same thing several years ago in Python[1], with the main difference just being the amount of polish and feature set. (I was, and continue to be, a very distractible person) Good to see the idea getting
