Suppose it is time to find a new instance not ran by a lib. Even though I don't talk about politics that often, better off finding a place where wishing for the demise of fascists isn't controversial or considered hate speech. Was a nice run with emacs.ch though.

Having a 144hz monitor has really spoiled me. Just browsing websites (especially ones with lots of scrolling and "pop-in" content like Phanpy) feels sluggish using a 60hz panel.

I'm also not sure if i3 is the right move for a laptop. I have a default Fedora workstation installation with just GNOME and it mostly feels okay. It would be really nice if I could have gesture and swiping based commands. Example, mod+{three finger swipe up) to tile a window in some layout, or mod+(swipe right) to move workspaces and such. Maybe I should try a floating window manager. Could use Hikari now that Wayland is viable for a device I own.

I'm going to go laptop-only for at least 2 weeks. My desktop will essentially be a file server. I suspect I'm going to like using the laptop more than the desktop but we'll see.
Need to come up with a syncing strategy for keepassxc.. Having 2 copies of the same database file is quite bad.

Got a laptop and wow, the modifier layout is absolute garbage. Pressing C- and M- is really only possible with the right cluster and I have to use my thumb rather than palm. Might just switch to an entirely modal layout and never use the modifier keys. Otherwise, the laptop is pretty great for $200 USD. It's a Thinkpad L14 (Gen 1), has a Ryzen 5 4650U CPU and 16GB of memory. Screen is a basic 1920x1080 IPS panel but its not bad at all.

Complexity gets a bad wrap, as in software people use it negatively to describe some system when it seems the word they'd really like to use is "convoluted", which carries a more accurate notion: overburdened, unnecessary, needlessly strained etc.

Went from taking 8 hours to import 50 million rows to 45 minutes. Wild. And instead of constantly hitting my disk at 300MB/s the entire time its now ~16MB/s with spikes here and there. Lesson learned: INSERT as many rows as you can rather than a single row insert at a time. Very happy more experienced folks told me I was doing it the slow way, they weren't kidding!
If I parallelize this I bet I can knock it down to 10 minutes or so.

Useful when it doesn't make sense to evaluate/load something when running a lisp in the command line versus Emacs. In this case I don't want slime-doc-contribs to be loaded when I'm in the command line. Took me a while to discover this swank "interface" (a hook) called emacs-connected. Super simple, works great.
