I googled "Katamari Dama-C++" to see what it was all about and found your post from 2014 [1]. That is impressive commitment. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7315163

So far I've taken trains and the EuroStar... but options are limited there. It's not easy to get to Japan from the UK, for example!

I woke up 13 years ago and decided I could never go on a plane again. Before that, I used to fly often for work. 13 years and I've not been able to visit any countries that I'd love to visit. It's shit. There is no advice tha

With great difficulty... If I'm recovering from burnout, I'm burnt out... likely working at 20%, and then getting home and having no motivation to do anything. Lying on the sofa in some kind of vegetative state.

I recommend expanding your web search just a little farther... 90 WPM is not considered "very, very high"! 90 WPM is ok, certainly above average. But please don't take it personally, I was just scrolling through the comments

My opinion: Use what you know - it doesn't matter. PhD students often end up procrastinating by searching for the right productivity tools or trying to over-organise their "workflow". Focus on the research question, use whate
