Humanity.

progfolio··on Any good AI services to replace an Executive Assistant (admin)?
lol
progfolio··on Ask HN: How to transition from non-fiction to fiction reading?
I usually go left to right, top to bottom.
progfolio··on Music and Code: More Similar Than We Think?
Be specific. You don't really give any examples for why or how one would influence the other. If you've got both bouncing around in your skull, of course they do. It's a question of how and to what degree.

It's also interesting that you've framed it as "enjoying music" (consumption) and "coding" (production). Would "enjoying software" make one a better musician or composer?

> They both seem to dance on the fine line of structure and freedom.

This could apply to almost anything.

progfolio··on Ask HN: Are you a bad software engineer if you don't have strong opinions?
100% no. Don't bother replying. I can't be convinced otherwise.

A lot of people don't know how.
progfolio··on Ask HN: What's the weirdest/best thing you've done with Emacs?
Currently working on a speedrun split timer written in elisp:

https://github.com/progfolio/speedo

I've also written a real-time game pad input visualizer (heavily inspired by Chris Wellon's work here:

https://nullprogram.com/blog/2016/11/05/)

I did this for a couple of reasons. I couldn't find a decent split timer that was:

- available on Linux

- not Electron/browser based (These worked well enough, but at the cost of high CPU usage, which caused hiccups when recording gameplay)

I was easily able to set up the timer so that I can feed inputs to anti-micro, which are forwarded to Emacs. This allows me to control everything from the game pad. I also have a feature that allows me to record a mistake during a run. I have commands which can then pull out mistakes for a given range across multiple runs to analyze where I need to practice most.

Still a work in progress, but it's been fun to work on.
