I can't provide you with numbers but back when I used Windows on my work machine, I recorded my screen + microphone input using OBS to compare they recorded keystroke sound and appearance of the character on my screen. I was able to confirm my suspicion in that WezTerm yielded higher input latency. This was especially noticeable when using helix inside of WSL - movement in normal mode would always sort of lag behind the keystrokes.

EDIT: Just installed in on my Mac and here, I can't notice any difference between kitty (my current input latency baseline) and WezTerm. Good stuff! Not sure how Windows fares nowadays, though.

I tried WezTerm on Windows because I was looking for a terminal with ligature support and lower input latency than Windows Terminal. Unfortunately, it still had higher input latency than cmd.exe. The only terminal with ligature support that comes close in terms of input latency is contour (https://contour-terminal.org/).

I’ve noticed the on search snipits seem to know the exact bit of text on the page that answers my question.

This must be new, right? I noticed this too and to be honest, it immediately improved my search experience, which had gotten very bad.

I'm genuinely curious to know why people get upset about this and what harm it does to them.

Even if the courses were good, you still need to spend a good amount of time with a textbook and practice the subject.

I don't understand why anyone would expect otherwise? This is as close to the university experience as it can get.

"So in the bottom of the ninth, we decided to transliterate our 90k lines of Python directly to Go, line by line."

A question here: Is it always a practical approach to transliterate line by line when transitioning to another language or because "Go [is] semantically very similar to Python"?

Now if you really wanna get that extra motivation, I highly recommend you to watch this introduction by Derek Wyatt. For me, a few minutes into the video were enough to stick to all of his videos, truly amazing guy.

I hope this is not too off-topic in a ST thread.

My recommendation is "One-Variable-Calculus with and introduction to Linear Algebra" by Tom M. Apostol, followed by "Mathematical Analysis". Both books form a great combination!
