Anyone here remember LieroM8/Lierokit? Such good times hacking away at this game in year 8 with my mate. There's nothing quite like an automatic bananabomb-blunderbus and low friction/gravity to speed the game up...

I too prefer fizzy history. It's like Sodastream for your shell! Skim [0] is a nice alternative to fzf [1], mainly for the fact you can call additional commands dynamically like so [2]: sk --ansi -i -c 'rg --color=always --l

Architecture is a sub-culture just like anything else. There's plenty of software we love that is buried under a hideous UI, because we understand how the construction and operation of our beloved is unique in concept, function or infl

This is what I've done the past couple weeks and it's going pretty well: Start with plain Emacs. Print/write out the popular cheatsheets. Just make sure you know how to exit, access the documentation, and move around the wind

I've had mental health difficulties for quite a while, life handed me a good tangle to work through. I've had some upward movement in the last few months, and it's coincided with listening to the content produced by this gent

Obligatory mention of emacs+org. I've tried everything and anything, and it seems to be a common pattern that people with a streak of perfectionism go through a long journey of dissatisfaction with tools, a journey which seems to settl

> it's one gigantic imposter syndrome trigger Yes, this was exactly my experience when I first encountered the repo for this project a couple years ago [0]. I actually still remember what it was like to read this for the first time.

I think corporate upper management are the only echelon of business capable of such waste and cynicism, maybe they noticed that traffic was going to the wiki and not the dedicated support pages.

I highly recommend a dive into Wikipedia re: Goethe, all sorts of interesting views and people are connected to or inspired by Goethe and Goethe's view of science; Rudolf Steiner, Francisco Varela, Gregory Bateson and Evan Thompson to

Indeed, and that's exactly the model much of the world uses for adult education. Except that better early-years schooling has at least as large and probably much bigger effect on the future productivity and health of society.

I think talking about cognitive biases in the context of building and understanding complicated/complex systems is the point of 'systems thinking'. Just having a name for that kind of exercise is useful. Just like everything

We don't need any more arms races, thank you. It doesn't take much to work slightly less hard (or less publically), communicate in a way that's efficient with other people's attention and time, and stop humblebragging on

Btw, you might be interested to know that if you activate the Web Clipper service, you can interact with Joplin's REST API on port 41184. I have been using a hairy mess of shell scripts to achieve similar functionality (Joplin-as-CMS).

If I didn't have the "Ikea effect" with my current Void install I'd be using Solus. Straightforward, sensible and clean. Plenty of useful and interesting software in the repos. Good enough UX for developers and your nan.

If you want, you can alias man to call `tldr $1` or `curl -s "cht.sh/tar" 2>&1` first, then call man, then pipe the output into `cat` and again into `less`, like so: man() { (tldr $1 ; man $1) | cat | less

There's a Firefox extension named OneTab, it aggregates all your open tabs into a single page, closing every tab except the OneTab. I have mine pinned. That, or Ctrl+Shift+D in Firefox to bookmark all tabs. I tend to have 10+ tabs open

A minor extension of the idea here and of the GP - I have aliased 'yt' and 'ytm' to target two different config files in the same folder path you gave.

I heard that the convention was to set the duration of the amber stage to something around the time it takes a fast-walking pedestrian to cross, so that you could start crossing near the end of a pedestrian green signal without being on the

Take an hour to sit in a quiet room without any stimulation. You'll learn a lot about your mental situation, and understanding where you are is really helpful for understanding where to go (if anywhere).

FYI you can manually trigger synchronization in both the mobile and desktop browsers, the option isn't buried very deep in either and is the only workaround I've found to avoid delays! Edit: on mobile it's under Hamburger &gt
