This is exactly what I use it for.

When I learned Spanish and had the opportunity to speak with native Spanish speaking friends I told them “if you love me, correct my Spanish”

I know of no other way, because there are lots of technically grammatically correct ways to say things in English, but sounds awkward to a native speaker. You can’t know really on your own.

I’m a moonlit musician and this makes a lot of sense to me.

Kids are like management that way. Tough to get work done efficiently when they’re around.

But unlike management, you get to tuck them in and “I love you” for no reason is a standard bonus with a free hug.

If something like this is helpful or necessary, that’s what ram backed tmpfs is for.

This is the second time in my life I’ve heard of this book. It was a wickedly weird book. I think I was 1/3rd through it before I figured out the plurality of the characters.

I have a p50 or p51, it’s so heavy, just a tank. I think they called it the portable workstation. I have LOVED this thing. It ran any Linux distribution I needed, was speedy, keyboard never missed, it’s in a closet now in headless mode running proxmox.

I use it for visual accessibility but I won’t lie, I do think it looks way cooler. My first computer was a 286 with DR-DOS. That could have something to do with it.

That’s wild. Mines a lack of living retina cells from retinitis pigmentosa. I need bright light to see, but bright light causes glare.

I’m guessing hard contacts not helping anymore or not an option? Have a buddy who is maintaining his vision that way.

I’ll fight. Dark theme isn’t just a UI preference. It’s an accessibility tool. I have a degenerative eye condition that has progressed to the point where I literally cannot use a black on white display

So I use dark reader on web and get creative with apps that think dark mode is dumb.

Got it working. Very interesting. I gotta play with it some more.

I heard it got better, but we ran into the BOTF (billions of tiny files) issue around 2016. (For a genealogy startup this was a serious issue)

I’ve got a midi watcher. I can get midi in to the app and it’s recognized, can’t see any midi messages out

I’m very excited to try this. I haven’t looked deep into it but Steinberg makes an sdk for vst/au development. It has rust bindings!

With everything as a note, how was it so performant? How did it scale so well?
