    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, ne…

    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 f…

    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 …

    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…

    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 gover…

    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…

    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 tim…

    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 …

    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 pre…

    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…

    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 …

    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…
