Looks like 9term, the Plan 9 terminal emulator.

I would not be surprised. A few years ago I developed disabling inflammation in my wrist, which turned out to be caused by my tendons having grown in an abnormal configuration. A simple surgery that "released" the collar of the sheath holding the tendons provided relief.

My surgeon told me that some segment of the population has the same issue and that they are simply born with it, but he is not sure what percentage it is, and some may go a lifetime without ever knowing.

In addition to the good qualities you listed, they are also good indicators of compacted soil (plants with thick taproots tend to spring up in compacted soil).

They are technically invasive where I am (northeast US) but I have never seen them take over an area so much as to choke out native species. I would argue that they have become naturalized.

Not-native Arabic reader here. To my eyes, it pretty clearly has a "baseline" that, if you tilted the text 45° to the right, would run along the "bottom". With this in mind, the similarity of many characters and ligatures to those in Arabic is striking.

Some people do need it for R&D.

I was like this for a long time, then I got older. That said, you seem to be following your body's instincts well, so good for you.

So are coyotes, beavers, hawks, and even bears.

This is probably a function of human development, but I am only saying this out of instinct. These mammals have probably adapted to us and are following where we go.

Exactly matches my experience.

Yeah, that's what I meant, wish I was clearer.

Sorry, what I mean is that they are obsessed with hating Trump. Countless hours devoted to hanging on to and getting worked up over every bit of information about a guy they despise.

Sorry, what I mean is that they are obsessed with hating Trump.

My 70+ parents are the same but the other way—obsessed with all things Donald Trump and getting angry about him. Hours and hours lost to a politician they despise.

If I need a tool to help me remember something I'm interested in, am I truly interested in it?

> Jen Easterly, Biden’s appointed director of CISA, swiftly made it clear that she would continue to shift resources in the agency to combat the spread of dangerous forms of information on social media. “One could argue we’re in the business of critical infrastructure, and the most critical infrastructure is our cognitive infrastructure, so building that resilience to misinformation and disinformation, I think, is incredibly important,” said Easterly, speaking at a conference in November 2021.

How can anyone who was rightly against the authoritarian insanity during the War On Terror justify this sort of thinking? "Trump is bad/election deniers are bad/anti-vaxxers are bad" is not enough. This can and will be spun right around and used against you.

Regardless of what you believe, it's an important piece of literature that is interwoven with our history. People who let it cause thought-termination are missing out.

Way, way too low for me. I notice people who use it tend to be on the younger side and/or must have very good eyes.

Personally, astigmatism causes halation[1] of the text with dark modes. The only time I find them tolerable or needed is when I'm in a very dark room.

In the day, when I do most of my work, I am in a lit room or outside and I am looking at physical documents, desktop environments, and web pages that are all light-colored. I would feel my eyes and brain churning every time I'd have to re-focus on a dark-themed window in this context, so it only makes sense to have my code/text light-colored as well.
