Ever wondered why walking around museums is weirdly tiring? At normal speed our legs act like pendulums, swinging forward from the hip & saving us a huge amount of energy. In "museum shuffle" our muscles must do ALL the work of constant readjustment. So cake in the cafe is scientifically justified 🥳

@helenczerski That's fascinating and rings true.  @helenczerski I have a frozen knee which prevents me from walking with that lovely pendulum-like gait. Can testify it's exhausting not having it. Каждый раз, когда хочу что-то о комментировать вспоминаю эту картинку.  Mondrian mashed potatoes and Van Gogh green beans, anyone?

Теневая сторона IT: тысячи программистов получают зарплату, ничего не делая Новое исследование Стэнфордского университета всколыхнуло IT-индустрию. Оказалось, что около 9,5% программистов, работающих в крупных компаниях, практически не выполняют свои обязанности. Более 42% инженеров ограничиваются минимальной активностью, получая при этом высокую зарплату. Такие "призраки" обходятся компаниям в миллиарды долларов ежегодно.

For a brief and fleeting moment, before that website's CSS kicked in, I glimpsed at a perfectly readable website. #Emacs undo limited to the active region is a super power. Just like regular undo, but only applies to the selected area. e.g., undo changes in this paragraph/page/function etc., leaving the rest of the file untouched. And the best part is it just works - highlight the region, undo (& keep undoing, as needed). Saved me a lot of grief today!

 @plantarum i have never not had it bug on me, and when it bugs on me, it breaks my entire undo-history and i have to have a little cry because i'm even further away from patching my way back to what i wanted. i never understood the bugginess, emacs just hangs till i quit out of it.  @plantarum I'm constantly amazed that there are "Oh, cool" things in emacs that I never knew about lurking around every corner after ~46 years as a user.   |
