Is it really a waste if you made enough money to retire?

Another (easier imo) way is to just install Emacs in the standard termux installation and run an X11 server, see https://hadi.timachi.com/posts/emacs_GUI_on_android/emacs_GU...

SpaceX doesn't do scale model testing?

I'm pretty sure it's model predictive control

Great concept! However like many zettelkasten implementations it gives the user too much freedom imo. To me zettelkasten are most useful because of their limitations, like restricting the size of each note, limiting how many notes you can see at a time, or limiting how fast you can traverse through notes. I think it's more important to be able to hold the overall structure of notes in your mind, which zettelkasten facilitates by intentionally making everything harder to do.

I guess you're not a big fan of rubber duck debugging then? Whenever I get stuck I like to ask myself a bunch of questions and thought experiments to get a better understanding of the problem/project, and with LLMs I'm forced to spell out each one of these questions/experiments coherently, which ends up being great documentation later on. I think LLMs are great if you're actually interested in the fundamentals of your problem/project, otherwise it just turns into a sinkhole that sucks you in.

Just from the schematic, it took me longer than necessary to figure out the leftmost symbol was for USB-C

Slight bug: there's no road past about 280m, all cars fall into an endless pit

Anyone using icescrum? I like how it can be self-hosted

Were you able to transfer some of what you learned back to standard tuning or did you never go back?

Probably because old software (e.g. emacs) feels a lot faster than new software (e.g. vscode) on the same hardware, that and nostalgia

Probably not the smartest idea to lead with "we threw most of them away"

there is an open issue that warns about this

The light/dark mode toggle (I think that's what it is) does nothing for me

The fact that you cannot create an arbitrary filled polygon in drawio baffles me.

I seriously tried to use this for documentation at my previous company, but the inability to create these basic custom components really limits this otherwise excellent tool.

Has anyone been able to do custom component libraries in drawio?

org mode ftw

I've been using it to do image processing in opencv, it's saved a lot of time I would've spent figuring out the required transforms and matrix operations

personally Holdsworth is a must, it's some of the most replayable music imo

This is related to minimal realizations of state space models in control theory

what made you move off emacs?

I actually like using "i" to toggle enabling/disabling the extension, more convenient and powerful imo

I bought my Weller soldering iron and all the tips I needed for $200 CAD new on Amazon, not sure where these numbers are coming from.

looks like they have some of that in the advanced theory section

completely anecdotal, but when Diablo 2 resurrected came out I went on a 2-day binge, 16 hours a day. A couple hours into the first day I was already feeling pain in my mouse hand, but after switching to trackpoint I had zero issues grinding for the next 2 days.

The pdf viewer is one of the reasons I won't use FF. on chrome vimium-c has already solved these issues (its pdf viewer is the smoothest I've used in any application)

I guess a workaround for now (until someone designs a trackpoint keyboard that fits in the framework) could be Lenovo's bluetooth trackpoint keyboard, I use it with every laptop and it's been great

In my experience, it's actually pretty common for folks to get massive compensation for land in China. There's even a term (拆二代) that describes a whole generation that suddenly became rich after their parents' land was appropriated by the government.

Have you looked at the Onyx boox series? They have an e-ink tablet in A4 format (though no color yet)
