I find I'm most productive by postponing heavy browser usage until later in the day. So I start by postponing mindless browsing until then. When trying to avoid distractions, I only open my browser for a specific tasks and close it whe

What do you mean about the images and files, specifically? If embedding images within an org file, it is super easy, just do ‘[[file://image/path.jpg]]’ and run M-x org-toggle-inline-images (i think that’s the command). My or

I use Emacs with Termux on Android. You can use the volume buttons as modifier keys, so it’s not so bad. Other solutions like Orgzly and Beorg exist, but I haven’t tried them personally.

Perhaps you know this, but other curious readers may not: it's worth noting (perhaps in an org-file) that properties such as tags, priorities and timestamps allow you to catalogue and access information without using the tree structure

I hope my pals use my corpse for some cubensis when I'm ripe for it.

I agree. I spend a lot of time trying to develop what I (internally) refer to as 'micro' habits. So, needless to say, thanks for the book rec! Sounds like just what I need.

Was this book your first exposure to Classical Mechanics? Would you recommend it as such?

I too would really enjoy some sort of “Build X in Y” type of resource for this.

Same! I’m actually going through Spivak’s Calculus, since that used to be on there.

If you don't mind me asking, how do you feel going to OU impacted your professional career compared to going to a more traditional university?

I wanted to try the first one but did not feel comfortable entering a phone number (it seemed counterproductive and kind of ironic). As for the second link, it turned up nothing for me. I’m not sure if that says more about my online habits

Vim is a text editor, emacs is more like an IDE for your OS that works best when lived in. So they aren’t exactly directly comparable. But, +1 for emacs.

Well, and I don’t mean to be strictly pebdabtic, but you could read it as “when 0 is greater than x”, but of course it takes more overhead and I see why I was wrong. Thanks, it’s getting late today so I’m glad I managed to learn something b

is there really a naming distinction between ‘>’ and ‘<‘? Is only one really the ‘greater’ than sign? Interesting if so! I always assumed it was context dependent (i.e x < 10 could be said 10 is greater than x, so it’s still acti

Yeah, but most people do that anyway so it should be statistically expected (not that it's not hypocritical of them to say this).

This. Drug dealers don't care if you're 7 or 70. I could get a dimebag in 5 minutes anytime in high school. Alcohol, on the other hand, took weeks of planning to obtain.

I was blown away when I first discovered this. I smoked weed when I was younger and my only gripe about it was the possibility of lung cancer. Luckily my non-weed-smoking friend debunked that for me. Props for spreading interesting info!
