You know, I know the command to leave is written every time emacs is opened, but it confuses me every time.



Why the fuck is there a pencil in the bottom shelf when its not listed in the lost items.






Holy shit the next year posts are already here.



One way to get around that is changing the user agent. I’ve never changed the user agent and had a loss of functionality, it always seems like they have a stupid user agent check just to make sure you’re using windows/chrome.



I understand the need for entertainment. I just think the current value of watching live sports is little to none. In the NFL’s case, why would you buy a cable subscription to watch a program that’s only 11% the actual game I want to watch(source: trust me bro). That’s like asking if someone would want to watch a show that’s 90% filler.





Congratulations because this sounds big not because I understand what a PhD thesis is. Sounds smart asf tho


I use LMMS although I’m planning on switching to reaper once I find out how to properly configure it and bring my LMMS presets in.

To use the latest version of LMMS, you have to click on the alpha or latest release version on the downloads page instead of whatever the main release is. If you ever want help figuring out LMMS, feel free to reach out.



This isn’t exactly answering your question, but one thing I see a lot of people get wrong is not knowing how to express what they’re trying to do. An example I recently ran into would be when I was trying to enforce that an input to a function is a child class of an abstract class. If you express the problem with the right vocab you won’t end up googling “how to make sure a variable is of the right type” and getting a different answer completely. I find that having taken classes and followed through books has helped me the most because the vocabulary to define my problem is ingrained in me. That’s what I’d recommend the most, is increasing exposure to concepts and vocab so that it doesn’t feel weird when you have to express a new problem.
