Software engineer here who works on web services. Most production-critical things in our workplace aren't managed by GUI's, or command lines... but by code. There are usually some infrastructure-as-code tools involved, like Terraform, CDK or Pulumi.

GUI's are often reserved for quick fixes and trying out things on staging servers (derisively called "click-ops").

I've gone through a similar conclusion myself. I used to use daily notes, dataview, and all sorts of Obsidian plugins to manage my tasks.

I find that I generally like to keep my vault to primarily be a "long term storage" tool. I want to use search to find curated info, not littered with to-do notes that don't add value past it's due date.

I've since migrated my To-Do activities to TickTick, and moved my daily notes to a secondary vault.

It's a desperate move to prevent a checkmate. If white did anything else (try c5 for example), black will reply with g6#.

If white did Bxf6, and black tries g6, white can escape by doing Kxg5.

Smart Launcher. It feels more polished than Nova Launcher, and has most of the features I'd expect from an alternate launcher.

With that said tho, I'm actually using the stock Pixel launcher because... Why not, it's not really bad.

Are these rules already known to me before making a choice? If so, then the two choices are:

  • Box A and B = guaranteed to be $0
  • Box B = could either be $100B or $0

Seems like an easy choice to make.

It's Box A and B because I don't want to be a billionaire.

I agree with this - I've been steadfast in working on a single monitor workflow. Not only is it more ergonomic (pressing keys is less effort than moving your head), I find that it helps with focus too. I find that having more than 2 (or 3) windows open only provides distractions and sensory overload for me.

One downside though is Crostini takes a pretty big performance hit. I remember comparing Crostini (Linux in a VM) to Crouton (native) and it was night and day. I agree it's workable though it probably means you may need to pick out a Chromebook with sufficient specs.

I really love Mastodon, but I'm seriously missing Twitter's search. It's nice to search terms and see how people are talking about (something specific). Mastodon only allows searching by hashtags.
