The most useful shell trick I've used to date is mapping the 'cd' command to 'zoxide', which is a more powerful version of cd that remembers folders you've been to.

I'm the same.

In all honesty, when you start up emacs for the first time with a blank config, it looks terrible. But then you start building it up with plugins and adding code to support your own quirky workflows and slowly it becomes too powerful in your life to ignore. I have not been able to drop it for 13 straight years. With AI taking over the development experience, emacs and neovim have only become even better, because now you can get AI to bake your custom workflows into the config for you.

Emacs/neovim should be the gold standard for all workflow tools.

I use arch linux and have never had an issue with pairing bluetooth with anything. In fact, imho, it works much smoother than Windows because I keybind bluetoothctl to connect to any bluetooth headphones, speakers, keyboard or whatever automatically using their bluetooth device IDs. To do this you must first pair them (I use the blueman-manager gui) and then get their bluetooth device ids and keybind the bluetoothctl command. All of this is easy to do by asking ChatGPT. Hope this helps.

org-mode already has this. Unfortunately, people seem to continue to use the inferior version of org known as Markdown. It is somewhat like how pdf overtook the superior format djvu.

100%. Org-mode is markdown on steroids and already supports everything these markdown note-takers do plus more. The only reason people keep reinventing the wheel is because they don't want to use emacs.

This algorithmic method is a useful addition to the insomniac's toolkit. Please don't berate methodologies based on logic and then describe anecdotes with poor english (wtf is "singlest"?).

When you become a tenured professor, the amount of work you do is far less than the vast majority of other jobs with a similar salary. The only real commitments are the classes you have to teach and if you minimize the amount of teaching you do, you'll barely be working at all. I knew a history professor that would come into the university for his 1 or 2 classes per week and then would go home for the rest of the day(s). He made 100k+. Not to mention that there are some professors at my university who make close to or over 300k/year and do not teach, but they are much more rare and have fat CVs. The other side of the coin is that before you get tenure, you may be working a lot for very little and only when you're close to 40 (on average) will you be granted tenure.
