That is absolutely not a bad habit, it’s a good one. Research has shown that writing things down can help memory immensely.

I don’t know that that’s true for most people; often the topics being taught aren’t as important as the skills you’re being taught/exposed to. Many people, especially Americans, never attend college. High school is the only chance befo

Reading further down the thread, backblaze responded that they are using Facebook pixel and the concern has been forwarded to the appropriate team.

If an asteroid of sufficient size were to strike Greenland, I think sea levels rising would be pretty far down the “this is definitely going to kill us all” list.

They don’t have to be expensive! More than the $30 Big Box special but often cheaper than a comparable “gaming” keyboard. I’ve built boards for as little as $50 and you can do it for even cheaper if you have access to a 3D printer and don’t

I put all my oft used symbols on the home row on a layer. I have fewer keys than a 60/65% board on my daily driver, but I like it so much that I generally map all my keyboards the same way, even full-size or larger boards.

Super easy if you have homing indicators on the keys (F and J on QWERTY layouts) like you would on other keyboards, only slightly more difficult if you don’t.

It’s a neat idea. If I can make a request... Please make the color themes work through the whole app. A dark sidebar is nifty and all, but when all other text boxes are stark white with black text it sort of defeats the purpose of having sa

But if your government was downplaying the seriousness of licking eyeballs when the whole world knows how bad locking eyeballs is, you can lay at least a little blame on said government, right? The US has over 200k dead from COVID-19. This

If you’re already typing correctly, you’re relying on muscle memory. Adding some layers into the mix isn’t too much of a leap. I would argue that a good split keyboard is much more useful than a standard keyboard; better positioning for erg

Like a dock and menu bar? Tint2 for the dock. I believe Cairo dock is also an option. Polybar for the top bar. Keep in mind that achieving specific looks often requires tons of time in configuration and hunting down specific tools or fixes.

Controlled burns need to come back with much more regularity and aggressive practices. Hard to do when many of these areas are close to suburbs. Even as late as the early 2000's I remember many controlled burns happening in Southern Ca

I'm the same way. Modern UI is often (seemingly) purposely obtuse. It's maddening. It (the UI) doesn't seem to respect people who read the information given to them by actually presenting that information. I shouldn't ha

I’d recommend Doom Emacs over Spacemacs for a few reasons: Spacemacs tries to be everything-for-everyone and it is far too dense for someone trying to learn Emacs. Evil-mode is its “killer feature” but that’s available without Spacemacs. Do

Perseverance is the name of the game, much like it is in everything else we do. I’ve been learning Vim and Emacs concurrently with Doom Emacs. I find that if I don’t use the tools for actual work, where speed/familiarity is necessary,

I took years off from Linux and recently hopped back in. What a convoluted mess it’s all become! I’m currently using a “packaged” version of Arch (arcolinux) and the whole thing is just a hodgepodge of things that might work together but pr
