probably not worse ergonomic because i type '(' with left pinky and right ring finger and ')' with left pinky and right pinky whereas {} [] etc, i have to use the very same overworked right pinky to distinguish two keys next to each other.

i always have problems with keys that have no obvious dedicated finger position like the middle vertical columns especially 6 and b and of course keys reachable on the right pinky, especially \ and =

i use slimv instead

i think the powerful feature is not (only) merely sending code to repl

but the suggestion for function's parameter as the function is updated to repl

for example: (defun xyz (a &option b &rest c &key d) ) ;then send this with ,d (vim+slimv) to swank server

the next time i type (xyz ... vim status bar conveniently states: (xyz a &optional b &rest c &key d)

both happen whether i start typing (xyz in repl or in vim; that's it, the function parameters show up as suggestions in repl and in editor

open the interview site (parent, not spotify) in browser with dev mode open

click network bar, look for media file that's currently streaming

should be about 45mb mp3 file: right click, copy as curl

then paste it into a terminal, append " -O" then press enter

i write my own typing practice program (just a simple dowhile read loop while spitting out preprogrammed stream of characters)

not counting wpm etc, don't want bloat.

my focus is practicing accuracy on difficult pieces like 4567, $%^& etc

Svelte 4 3 years ago

is there a way to host learn.svelte.dev locally ?

like git clone repo and then npm run dev ?

if programming language were human, what would dumb-smart and lazy-energetic be?

my take:

dumb languages would be ones that have few concepts, can be made smarter thru evolutionary iteration (committee adding new concepts)

energetic languages would be ones that require much typing (assume efforts = typing), can be made 'lazy' internally by macro (code that writes code) and externally by code generation (ai, ide etc)

let's mapreduce search

map search-term to several search engine (using curl, headless browser and whatnot)

then reduce / filter the results, removing ads etc, weighing duplicates more and punish irrelevants

the search-result is then piped to your favorite browser

epson printer has print qty counter where once you hit a threshold, the epson printer stops working (called blinking in the printer parlanche)

you need to send the printer to service center

or download pirated epson counter resetter (windows only)

darlocks can be fun tho, you can win without having any fleet.

just spy, sabotage missile bases to 0 and then send troops.

always.

had i stick to windows 20 years ago, i would have been windows expert and miserable.

but i learned osx, linux, bsd instead.

i'm not windows expert and happier.

OpenBSD 7.1 4 years ago

i tried freebsd and surprised that pf is already included.

that and zfs (no partition, can use whole disk).

i'm considering using freebsd on both server and laptop from now on.

will i miss anything?

not really...

seeing things under sun is not equal to squirting ur eyes to focus the incoming rays

it's just that much light coming, the intensity of light to be exact.

that's why camera, given the same setup, gives sharper image under bright sun light

I never get as tired playing outside as compared to squirting my eyes all the time just to focus in a room. sun light is just that intense, rooms lightings are much less intense.
