"Simple" but not always easy. I have executive function / working memory issues so that cognitive burden you mention can be untenable. My solution is to lower the load/latency of the note-taking. I have a hotkey that pops up a text box where I can jot a note, it shoots that to a file, then I organize it with a TUI at the end of the day (or whenever!)

At this point in history, we can't tell which 90% is absolutely pointless.

How are you determining what is and isn't relevant?

goes to show, lines of code doesn't equal quality.

sit and go meaning sit and go tournaments vs organized tournaments?

Yes.

I have a similar problem but my miss rate is closer to 5% so I empathize, I'm so glad you've found a good solution. truly nothing more inspiring in tech.

I think there's a lot of gains to be made in tailoring UX/UI to the individual. Not just for individuals (this person reading more books) but for societal advancement. (this person reading more books, generalized)

I have a few use cases like this that would go towards replacing my phone. I'm on the lookout for a hackable/linux ereader.

and then as long as we're doing logic on variations, the time between keypresses definitely varies.

obviously something a lisp that had designated itself ultimate and was keen to take over the world would say.

They also have a marvelous youtube channel.

Princeton has had a similar rule since 2001. Their current number is $100k. 25% of students pay nothing to attend. [0]

You have won. Yes, if the thing you love specifically requires the collection of capital then of course, you will have difficulty finding that outside a corporation.

I suspect with analysis this is not the case for the majority of folks.

Hardware is a funny example though, because I feel it's easier than ever to get some interesting hardware stuff going.

Most of the things I love aren't done at home. I already noted there are passions that can't be performed individually.

Probably, but it is healthier.

I'll first say that is a very pretty device that I would be glad to introduce to my workspace.

This might be outside the scope of your work, but I'm considering going more extreme with ergonomics. What if the keyboard was split and mounted on my chair arms? What possibilities are there with a keyboard on a free-floating arm, whether it's full-sized or several smaller ones? I like that you use the word "familiar", I'm not looking to reinvent how keyboards work, I just want to rethink where I hold my arms.

A concurrent project, I'm working on finding a chair that fits my specific dimensions. I'm too tall for the average chair and have been searching for solutions. Currently, I use a $40 Coleman camping chair that lets me sit at a 135-degree angle with my laptop on my lap and a portable monitor to the side. However, it offers very little support for my head and shoulders, so I'm looking for a chair that can adjust from 90 to 135 degrees and support my frame.

I've been working things that could be classified as "a11y for ADHD folks" lately, stuff like this really inspires some of my own projects. thanks for the work! (I am doing something much less robust/featured on my workstation with firefox, but I'm going to try this next time I'm on chrome.)

I'm gearing all my personal tooling stuff towards collecting a ton of data points—screenshots, logs, notes, todos—that I can then pare down over time to make them useful. I've got a similar setup with a central monolith that can handle anything I throw at it from stdout.

Lately, I've been focusing mainly on the collectors because I figure the state-of-the-art in any middleware I write is going to change quickly. I've been playing around with knowledge graphs for visualization and might consider using them as a data store for this kind of thing. I'm still thinking about it. My watchword has been minimalism when it comes to design—no added steps or latency to existing workflows.

What's she up to?

The things I love are broader than "IP controlled by my company." I can see that if the thing you love is massive financial institutions or defense contracting or something?

What line of work are you in now?

Just throwing this out there for someone, "Scruffier Kind of Machinery" is a good name for a book, company or band.

thank you for your service

I’m working on this as a personal project so I’m interested in other’s solutions!

I’m not working on it toooo hard. This is something I think some AI software tool might swoop in and solve before I can build something I’m happy with.

The presently addicted and obese thank you for your service to the future.

The only banter is when the producer offers tea at the end, which seems incredibly necessary to me.

I wonder what country you're in?

Have any reading or publicly available resources on this?

I don't take pictures for the internet, I take them for the memories and to try to add a little artistry to the things in my life.

I also think cameras can be a positive part of "the moment" wherever that is. Photography and dealing with a camera can be a meditative way to see reality.
