So I'm going to take a trip this week and my partner was aghast that I was planning to take my copy of War and Peace with me. She said that I should split the book up. I was aghast because my mother taught me to never mutilate a book.
My partner told me this is a common service at Korean universities, so I do an internet search for "splitting big books up into little books." While I could not find a service to do this, I did happen to find @nprofile…args's instructables article for this very topic (with the calculus book that plagued me so many years ago).

Some time ago @npub1nwg…p0ee wrote a blog post, paper, or website about writing code in a way that reduces the number of concepts in a developer's working memory, but I'm having a hard time finding it.

First high-anxiety day in several months, dang.

Achievement unlocked: after two months, JoJu sat on my lap last night. I would have snapped a photo, but my phone was out of reach.

I updated to #Ubuntu 22.04 yesterday and got a little notification that my #apt Firefox was being switched to #snap. Weird flex, but okay.
Today, when I tried to open my local #Rust documentation with `rustup doc --book`, I got a page that said that the access to the file was denied.
It turns out that #snap prevents firefox opening files in hidden folders and the best workaround is to create a symbolic link to a non-hidden folder. WTH?

Life has decided that this year wasn’t challenging enough 😔 and now I have an unexpected trip back home.
I’m going to be a bit unresponsive for the next few days.
