Some off piste skiers carry a carbon fiber canister with pressurized nitrogen gas, to inflate airbags from backpack in case of an avalanche. Carbon fiber is not that good with point pressure, but strong for evenly distributed loads.

At this point I look at wikipedia what happened to the submarine bamboozled mentioned. Ooops. Heh, the pressure of water is as evenly distributed as can be. Seems my background in watersports is not enough to moonlight in material engineering.

If so, balance good and evil by including marca of A16Z, once an Epoch maintainer.

Yeah, that dude oughta read books and learn about computers, too.

Tell me you have a background in IT without telling me you have a background in IT.

   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

  What editor do you use?

  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.

There are notes on Fedora install at https://github.com/AsahiLinux/docs/wiki/Fedora

Sorry about that. Thanks, @nosoonhui.

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.

Netfonds offered online stock trading in Norway. Now sold to their competitor Nordnet.

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.

Wasn't Thunderbolt networking an option?

Ah. I just left the physical control key alone, and thus have no caps lock key at all. Seems some applications grab the keypresses at a lower level than where PowerToys changes it, so sometimes caps lock is activated when my intention is to hold control.

Was screensharing with a react native hotshot yesterday, and felt my perceived age doubled to 102 as I suddenly was yelling in all caps, with no quick exit.

Swapping left control and caps lock disturbs AltGr, which appears to be a synthesis of left control and right alt.

If Windows is a good GUI, how do I reliably swap caps lock and control?

Tex in Taiwan also make keyboards with trackpoints.

Also nice how the built-in Iphone calculator app is plain and simple in portrait mode, and rivals a scientific calculator when rotated to landscape mode.

I'd subscribe to "Lisp tricks" by Lars Ingebrigtsen or Rainer Joswig.
