college admission essays aren’t really about delivering an argument, they’re moreso personal essays, where you’re trying to paint a picture of who you are. also, the best arguments tend to be written with a consistent and thoughtful style. your argument is not going to be as compelling as it could be if it’s not presented well

also Sidebery is an option, that’s the one I use. very customizable

I’m so cooked I genuinely thought that’s what it was at first, until I noticed all the words were slang/recent colloquialisms

Seems cool, but it’s currently missing some pretty important languages (Hindi, Urdu, Thai, Bosnian/Croatian/Serbian, Swahili, etc). I’d put up with something limited like this if it was FOSS and/or selfhostable but it appears not to be

Elaborate on some examples of the YIMBYs?

Just noticed in euclidean geometry, for any two line segments touching at a point there is exactly one triangle you can draw, i.e. a triangle is uniquely described by any two of its legs. In spherical geometry, there are two choices for the third leg!

I read somewhere that this phenomenon is so unlikely that if we ever need to represent our planet in an intergalactic context, the solar eclipse would be a good candidate for a symbol to put on a flag [citation needed]

Thanks for the detailed explanation, makes a lot of sense! I guess what I did was set up a UEFI entry that specifies the location of the Linux kernel without any intermediate bootloader. Pretty sure I didn’t set the fallback, so I’m guessing that’s still owned by windows.

What is that latter fallback called? I set up my boot manually using an EFI stub last time I installed arch but wasn’t aware of any fallback bootloader

Why? The quotes will be consumed by the shell when you execute the command, unless you do like "'{}'"

My solution for this has been on my Linux machine, using keyd, to swap alt and super, and map super+c, super+v to copy and paste. (I also map super+L, super+R, super+T and super+W in Firefox to the control- equivalents using keyd’s per-application bindings functionality)

Switching it at the terminal emulator level should work fine for every CLI/TUI though, right? Just have your terminal send 0x03 when you press C-S-c and copy selected text on C-c. I haven’t tested it but I’m sure that alacritty, wezterm, windows terminal and probably tmux can do this.

This was early access done right. I should probably play this game more and try to beat it now lol

My favorite song by BTS is probably Spring Day (although I’m not really a massive kpop listener)

you can make it sort the first k elements and it will still be O(1). Set k high enough and it might even be useful

You don’t need the and right? Can’t it just be return a or b

This doesn’t work if a is falsy non-null actually

I used boba u4 silents on my custom keyboard. Absolutely love them. Wish they made a consumer-grade keyboard with them (or maybe they already do?) But I’ve been working on a MacBook recently and tbh the keyboard there is pretty good now. So next step for me is to build a low profile keyboard

On my colemak keyboard I put arrow keys on another layer under where hjkl are on qwerty. Beyond that, most of the keys are remembered by mnemonic rather than position imo

Last one is the derivation of the quadratic formula by completing the square
