I’m not sure about default, but you can do that on any chromium based browser I’ve tried as a custom engine, where %s gets replaced with the url encoded version of what you type.

I was diagnosed sometime during my second year of secondary school (which I think was 2010-2011, which would make me 13 at the time as well, although I admit I don't remember much) and I can definitely back up the importance of a good support network.

I don't know anyone else with this condition and it can be incredibly isolating, and as is the case with many chronic conditions it definitely has a negative impact on mental health.

At least in my experience, it's not something that one can just move on with, as it tends to pervade every experience: "Is my blood sugar going to go too low during this exam/interview/event?" is a common thought and there have been many times where I've taken less then an appropriate amount of insulin to ensure that a hypo doesn't occur at the worst possible moment.

Ever since the pandemic began health care has been harder to access and it's been much easier to slip through the cracks, though I can't really blame anyone considering the demand on health services, it's certainly a reminder of the importance of taking an active involvement in your health.

I have an odyssey g9 (pretty much the same thing but the "gaming" version so it has a few additional bells and whistles such as 240hz and G-Sync) and I love it.

I'm not sure if this capability would be available on the model you're looking at, but I typically use the Picture-By-Picture mode (with two DisplayPort cables connected from my GPU to the monitor) for work with custom resolution profiles set to enable each side to run at 120hz. I use Windows and don't have a Mac so I'm not sure if you can do that sort of thing. The PBP options for this monitor allow you to choose the split so if you want to go with an ultrawide and leftover portion, you can do that as well. The main reason I go with this setup is it allows me to go "full screen" with each half of the monitor, or if needed share a half screen over clients like Zoom if necessary.

As a productivity machine, the lack of bezel and increase of screen real-estate is fantastic for multitasking, there's enough room to have the documentation off to the side in addition to the code and any messages.

There's a lot of value in remotely accessible or portable tools. When I was in secondary school I began my experiments with Java using the JXXX compiler service (still available many years later at https://www.innovation.ch/java/java_compile.html). The school didn't allow running executables on the version of Windows used at the time (Windows 7 I believe), but permitted running any kind of JARs (as long as they had the appropriate Manifest to launch without needing access to a command line).

Without access to a service like this it's quite feasible that my entire life path would have changed and I am filled with eternal gratitude that people exist out there who are willing to provide such services.

Exercise and scope creep, the two banes of my existence.

I like the little project idea, it wouldn't hurt for developing a portfolio either.

I definitely need to take a good look at trying to rest properly, I've had far too many sleepless nights.

Are there any books on learning you'd recommend?

That's an interesting idea, I've always been more of a night owl so I never really tried learning at the start of my day. Do you do this before the start of your morning routine, or do you give the coffee time to kick in?

I definitely need to start getting into things like leetcode, building a general repertoire of solutions to problems will certainly help in the future.

I like to imagine that domains are the modern equivalent to land. It certainly seems to fit the criteria of enduring for many years with people buying and building upon them.

If it's working on a closed source code base, I think you're not going to find many other options beyond looking at similar open source projects online, or finding and evaluating the merits of different design patterns.

My experience has been fairly matched towards yours, I'm a recent Computer Science graduate who's been told a fair number of times that a lot of places just aren't sure if they want to be hiring at the moment.
