chr — Mon, 10 Feb 2025 10:17:40 +0000

   Then, the ejected debris that created the canyons likely soared over the lunar surface and then collided with it at speeds of about 2,237 miles per hour (3,600 kilometers per hour).

Oddly adding a veil of precision to an estimate of a kilometre per second.

Climbing may require concentration, try indoor autobelaying. It requires effort to think about anything but the next move. Perhaps that will start you on growing back the ability to focus.

@mauvehaus, with your idiosyncratic spelling of emacs as "eMacs", you put Stephenson in a bad light. He knows how to spell. And edit.

You may well be aware that there is an external keyboard from Lenovo that mimics the Thinkpad keyboard: "ThinkPad TrackPoint Keyboard II"

Then there are mechanic keyboards with trackpoints from Tex in Taiwan: https://tex.com.tw/collections/all

  vi.

At least his x- and y-yearold may rebel by using emacs.

Debian install worked fine for me, even if it was my first linux install on hardware in many years.

Bad in what way, @newbamboo? I meant to list stuff that's nice to learn and spend time with.

Turn into a snob? When a tutorial from a certain domain disappoints you, stop following links into that domain. Seek operating systems with smarter people, and fewer errors. Look for languages with high quality in implementation, documentation and ecosystem.

See you in a few years, when you you'll ask for advise as there aren't jobs for people whose stack is arm, *bsd, sqlite/postgres/redis, cl/elixir/go.

Netflix has the South Korean SF flick "Space Sweeper". Do read the serious article first. The film is for entertainment. Crossing Belter and cyberpunk aesthetics, mixing up human languages as you'd expect from the future, it's fun.

For playing with a Common Lisp desktop, try Mezzanine on x86 hardware or a suitable VirtualBox.
