“The Unbearable Lightness of Being” is just fantastic. I think it’s well worth your time. I’ve read it a few times now. With each subsequent read at a different point in my life, it’s been interesting to see new insights and perspectives emerge. If you end liking it, another one from Kundera I particularly enjoyed was “The Book of Laughter and Forgetting”.
Exactly my experience. This is the killer feature for me. It helps to not break flow while working on a given task. Also, it’s great that the floating pane is per tab as well so those related background/interactive tasks can be context dependent.

Another one I like is monkeytype
If you’re looking for something similar for macOS, you can get partway to an i3 experience by using yabai and skhd. I’ve incorporated into my own environment and found it to be very useful.

Yea, I saw the same behavior. Had to refresh to clear it as any interaction didn’t dismiss it.

I’d love if you could elaborate on your setup. Are you using something like nvim-dap from within neovim or something else? I’m still trying to improve my debug experience in neovim.

I couldn’t agree more; Obsidian is just a fantastic tool for this. I’d like to add that the calendar plugin has been really helpful to quickly navigate between and create notes for each day or week. Keeping notes both on a daily basis and weekly basis has helped me to better plan and evaluate what I’ve been doing.
I’ve had my eye on the Kinesis advantage for a long time. Is there any form of virtual layering like on the ergodox? That’s been a key feature for me with the ergodox and I’d have a hard time living without it.
Even though your just referencing the articles of Macrofactor, I’ve gotta say the app itself an absolute pleasure to use. It’s been instrumental in my current bulk cycle.
Re:Ask HN: Anyone tried development using an Oculus? on Sunday August 07, 2022 @08:49AM (#32376089)
One headset I’ve heard of that is aimed at more office focused usage is the SimulaVR[1]. However, it’s still a work in progress and you’d have to preorder.

Wow hadn’t heard about isolates at all, really cool! thanks for sharing!
If you’re trying to achieve VS Code with the keyboard navigation of vim, have you given the VSCode vim plugin a try? I’ve had positive experiences mixing editors/IDEs with a vim plugin to get the best of both for my workflow.
Any drawing courses you’d recommend?
