Why is Perell so popular in techie-ish circles? His writing is a cross between the New Yorker and undergrad essays, and reminds me of oratory - it feels substantial and meaningful but peel back the surface and there's little behind it.

Has anyone seen a printable mockup for this keyboard layout yet? I've found (1) invaluable for ruling out which layouts are too large for my hands e.g. the Moonlander. This keyboard looks excellent - but I want to make sure I won'

Thank you, I'll give it a go. Explorer I don't mind but Finder I cannot get on with.

I love Typora. It turns out that I am a visual person and while I can _write_ Markdown easily, my writing flows better when I use a visual editor (but not MS Word. That program gives me writers' block). This is apparently in contrast t

99% of the time no one runs into scaling issues and worrying about it is premature optimisation. I have to remind myself that all the time. And no, same hassle, same money spent. Thought about from the start server-side rendered pages are a
