OK, but what about visualizing numbers, words, formulas, graphs etc? Do they count? They have no color, no characteristics other than the text/logic content, yet I visualize words and numbers all the time.

It much depends: if trains are very frequent, train stations easy to reach and you only take one single train, that's one kind of experience. If there's few trains, you have every day the anxiety of risking to loose the train an

I had stayed away from the game for fear of being hooked up, but decided to give it a try when I was confined home, so I downloaded the demo. I really wanted to like it, but I gave up after an hour or so, because I felt that the game devs w

I'm happy that it works for you, but If I started to lock my phone in a safe and throw away the key, next thing I'd learn to pick the safe every five minnutes.

You're right, I just opened a 1.2gb file (obtained with base64 -b 60) in fundamental mode, and it actually works decently enough. I tried the same with Sublime Text: it took a long while to open the file but, once opened, navigating th

I've been a long time Emacs user since ~1997 until ~2011, when I started developing mostly with ruby on rails on a mac, discovered TextMate and falled in love with it, with its slick UI, freshness (at the time) of ideas, ease of use, d

> The final 20% of a project is always the hardest for me. I'd be more than happy to get to the 80%. It seems like I used to be able to do that when I was younger. It could be that I aimed lower.
