I actually think answering email from Vim/neomutt is a speedup of a factor of 2. Using the Gmail web interface just feels awful now.

It occurs to me that when I'm learning Korean, the set of words I frequently use (from my tiny vocabulary) tells much about my personality. I have a lot of words like 멍청하다, 게으름을 피우다, 창피하다.

Feels a bit like a deck-builder game for your thoughts.

Cute patch notes:

7.70.0. We fixed a bug on Microsoft Windows that made the Signal Desktop title bar orange instead of blue. If you've grown to love the citrus-themed color scheme over the past few days and this bugfix makes you feel blue, you can adjust your system accent color in your Windows settings.

Tonight's dream: I'm working on the final meta-meta puzzle of an online hunt, and I'm pretty stuck on it. Then it occurs to me I haven't seen FAIR PLAY as an answer yet, so I was like, "huh, wait a minute... was that not promised?" And so I call in FAIR PLAY, and it's correct.

How does anyone learn linear algebra taught via matrices? Like, I don't think I could understand what was going on in 18.06 if I hadn't taken Math 55a first, and I have a PhD in math. I can't imagine how confused the poor undergraduates must be.
