TIL the meaning of "wall time" (coming from the clock on a wall). Actually think that's a cute jargon term.

Is this too desperate?

Learn to code, please, I implore you, for the love of god, I am so sick of people who just say "idk code" and adamantly refuse to learn, please grow a spine

I wish dishwashers and laundry machines would have a button that says "wait 10 minutes, then start" instead of just "start". Because I swear to god every time I start the dishwasher, five minutes later I realize I forgot to put something in it.

Thinking of #37, I think we should enable Insults by default for sudo as well…

the fact that i can just spawn as many domains as i want on *.evanchen.cc is killing my productivity

TIL that Denmark's postal service stopped delivering letters last year, after 400 years. Little heartbreaking.

How does anyone get any work done inside a web browser?

Today I learned you can add the modeline

vim: path+=docs

so that using gf on content.md will cause Vim to look for docs/content.md too. It's about time.

You know, I actually like the URL https://web.evanchen.cc/personal.html over the more modern https://web.evanchen.cc/personal/.

I think this might just be Stockholm syndrome but I actually like how it seems more old-fashioned. And tells you about the underlying technology: that it's just an HTML file.

Apparently in Asymptote you can just do 2P instead of 2*P. I had no idea.

Caring about normal is for people-homogeneous things. For example, human anatomy is quite consistent from person to person, so if your blood pressure is significantly higher than the population average, then your doctor is right to worry.

Whereas pursuit of interests is pretty much the opposite of that.
