Earlier this evening, I attended live sermon delivered by BK Shivani didi
Feeling blessed!
Feeling lucky that I got opportunity to listen to her in person, I also saw her in person when she was walking away.
She is modern day saint.
No miracles, but the knowledge she spreads deserves recognition.
I drew this using finger on the trackpad.
I’m impressed.
tldraw seems interesting.
Drawing program inside your browser.
While it does not have Save as functionality, it does have Print option
which can be paired with Print to PDF
I can live it that.
Need to try out.
I installed and used VSCode on office provided MBP yesterday. It is not like I have not used it in past. I tried vscode-vim plugin for modal editing. It allows you to embed neovim in VSCode (So all the configuration of neovim is available here.) But on my old machine, it was slow. (I also tried VSCodium, thinking it might be faster. It wasn’t) I used it exclusively for Dendron (my PKM) cause it is mainly VSCode plugin (While it has command line tools, the main strength is as VScode plugin)

My first such device was Palm III.1 It came with Stylus. That was in the last century. Needless to say, I stopped using after year or 3. (I had it long time after that, and then I finally gave it for electronic waste/recyling program 😢) Then after my elder son was born (which has no significance - just that I remember it as such) I purchased Samsung Galaxy Note 8 2

This won, cause : Much cheaper Can be connected to Android phone, Windows PC or macOS Initial impressions : Feels like writing on a piece of paper (as opposed to, on a glass surface) The pen is BIG! (Not used to such big pen or stylus) Still getting used to various sketching software.

For someone using various shells for over 2 decades, resisting muscle memory does not come easy. 1 I was used to export KEY=value, so in fish I always had to look up How to set an environment variable in fish 😆 - even after 2 years.

i.e. No one reads them later 🤷♂
The same happened with me today.
I was looking for way to get only certain file from git stash
I asked ChatGPT with mixed results. (It provided correct answers, but
more verbose. On asking, better explanation was provided, still..)
During such time, stackoverflow shines.
Even without going to SO site, the answer is included right on the search results.
I decided that since it was hard to find, it is worth adding it to PKM.
Turns out I already had it stored
🤦♂🙈
That is why it is called write-only 😆
I came across fish like auto suggestions plugin for zsh.
When I started to update that, I noticed that my oh-my-zsh is two years old
(now that we are near the end of 2022, it is more like close to three)
So I uninstalled and reinstalled oh-my-zsh
But the prompt won’t look nice.
That is when I realized that starship is not hooked to zsh
and that starship is also due for an update (6 months)
So upgraded starship and then hooked it up to zsh
Now I can try the autosuggestions plugin. ☺️
I have been using Emacs for several years now. But I switched to (and stayed with) Emacs only because of evil mode. I had been vi user for decades before that. Even today, I use (Neo)vi(m) occasionally. Right now, I’m writing this in Helix editor, which is lot closer to modal editing of vi, than of Emacs. So there. I am aware that various shell support vi mode, but the default is Emacs.
