Had been looking for a replacement desk chair for about a month. Was thinking of the mesh stuff like Hermann Miller's Aeron, or Ergohuman (friend has one)…or the nicely padded Steelcase Leap.

Went on Craigslist last night and found a company moving office. Picked up 2 mesh chairs — not exactly like the Ergohuman, but close enough — for HKD 50 each. Even including the 7-seater Uber home, that ended up being 1/20th the price of a new chair…

(The second chair will go to the office)

Well then they’re born artists, vim and emacs with the right themes are as good as it gets!

? I always thought vim’s UI was pretty optimal!

(Said peering over the emacs window)

It's funny how the old ones tend to work better.

Trying to flash the Ergodox Infinity again but any new layout I download from Input Club's configurator mangles both sides of it. Grr.

Multiple accounts on the same service, mostly, but also just as a general habit for sites known to track activity.

Is there actually no way to open a new tab with a different container in Firefox using the keyboard?

Mouse is rather painful on a 4k monitor…

Wow. Wonderful wine dinner. Decent wine and decent food — overpriced, certainly — but a long and colourful debate on Roko’s and Newcomb’s paradoxes, amongst other things.

Oh I agree — except that it's typically the other way around (formally, I report to him).

And he's always going on about how to improve our use of technology.

"Can you help me connect my computer to the projector for tonight's event please?"

I get it's a complicated deal with USB C, what with all the adapters, but really?…
