Exposure therapy. Just play for a very short amount of time, even 2-3 minutes, then stop for a while. Do this over and over. Always keep the duration below the threshold of your motion sickness. Eventually your brain gets used to playing without being sick and you'll be able to play for longer and longer periods. Always stop the moment you feel motion sick in any way - don't try to push through as doing that makes it worse. This is what I had to do to get used to games in VR, and it worked great. I can now play for hours without issue.
For ADHD, stimulants like Ritalin have the opposite effect. Your brain goes... quiet. In a really good way. You can focus on what you want to, with ease. If you have a diagnosis don't be afraid of exploring medical treatment. Just be aware that while it does solve the problem of being able to stay focused and on task, it does not solve the problem of figuring out what to focus on. Also some people react differently to different medications. If Ritalin doesn't work, Elvanse or one of the others might work better. It can take some trial and error to figure out.
I'm in my 40s and I've noticed a similar thing. I've touch typed since I was a teen. My advice is to make note of which words you mistype, then plug them into a flash card system where you can type the answer out (Anki can be used in this way). Practice re-typing the mistyped words and things will (hopefully) improve. Another thing you can do is typing exercises. I find keyzen great for this:
https://wwwtyro.github.io/keyzen/Doing that once in a while made typing easier, and it also improved my pinky usage (I tended to avoid using them). Aside from that, I think it's just part of getting older. It's not you, it's just part of life.
If you use Windows, you can quickly erase a word when typing with Ctrl+Backspace. That can save a lot of time when correcting errors.
Best of luck! :-)
cmd as admin, sfc /scannow followed by chkdsk /f C: then reboot the PC and try the update again. Works every time for me.
I think there tends to be some confusion in this aspect of piano study. Of course people are going to make mistakes when learning. The trick is to note them, fix them, and then practice the correct version. Don't spend any time practising errors. At least that's how I think of it. A great book on the subject is "The Perfect Wrong Note: Learning to Trust Your Musical Self" by William Westney. He believes worrying too much about being flawless on the initial playing causes anxiety in students. Being ok with errors helps people relax and makes them less likely to give up.
Wow - that's really cool also. Cheers!
Hadn't heard of that - that's way better. Cheers!
I realize that's an issue. But is the web even usable without JS these days anyway?
The whole point is removing the need to convert anything.

I had an idea a while ago. Instead of dealing with two sets of files, why not make a file that was Markdown and HTML at the same time?I found this utility, which unfortunately seems to have been abandoned: https://github.com/showdownjs/showdownAll you need to do is add a few lines to the top of your Markdown file. Here's an example:https://trivialcode.com/mdhtml_demo/demo.mdhtmlTake a look at...
