And I must agree. I often feel papers are written with an extra 20% over the page budget, then condensed in the last minute to fit the constraints, which hurts the exposition.
One question: How do you properly install things like R on the M1 Macs, then? Do you use a 'backup' package manager?
I'm on the fence between buying a 32GB 24 core GPU Max version, or going for a cheaper 16GB 14 core GPU and using the leftover money to buy a home server with good GPU and RAM.
I'd like the Mac to sustain 95% of my programming, design, and data science needs, but I'd be willing to run the last 5% (gaming, very deep neural networks, or big datasets) remotely. Especially if I could get more bang for my buck buying a home station instead of maxing out the MacBook.
Just out of curiosity, which Dell laptop would you recommend? Ideally a 14", light, and with good battery life. (I'll leave the more technical specs up to you)
Basically, it is a todo manager, but with built-in first-class scheduling. You input your todos, assign time estimates, and Sorted helps you spread them out in your day, keeping your calendar events in mind.
To explain the value in this, let me copy one of my comments in this thread:
[...] Sorted is really great for people like myself who tend to overfill their todo lists, and subsequently feel bad at the end of the day when they don't manage to complete everything. Sorted pushes me to assign time estimates to the task, which helps me to keep my todo-list for the day more realistic and manageable. I like it more than managing my todos directly in the calendar [...].

Apart from the nice privacy policy, Sorted is really great for people like myself who tend to overfill their todo lists, and subsequently feel bad at the end of the day when they don't manage to complete everything.
Sorted pushes me to assign time estimates to the task, which helps me to keep my todo-list for the day more realistic and manageable. I like it more than managing my todos in the calendar, as for example the Make Time people would probably like me to.

> The entire value I got out of this course in undergrad was technical writing. Learning how to actually "write" a proof, and not just nonsensically sling notation at a poor soul. Comparing Jeff's writing with mine, seeing where I tripped up, and trying again.

Hey, you get it! You spent an entire screen trying to pretend that having model solutions is wrong and useless and pointless, but you made a slip up and admitted you've known the value all along! Oopsie.
But yeah, I understand your point (kind of), but you yourself seem to find value in comparing your solutions with the 'correct' ones — not only the contents, but the formulation as well. Do you find it so hard that others, maybe some that aren't from Illinois at all and just like the book, would do the same?
