This will be my third time attempting to adopt emacs, but this time is different.

I’d decided to move away from VS Code and back to neovim with the intent of tying it together with my Obsidian files when I realized I could just be in one app all the time with org-mode. Also more inclined to learn emacs lisp now that I have experience with lisps via Clojure.

Any suggestions on packages to look into? Thanks.

Context: senior software engineer working primarily in Typescript, React, and AWS lambdas via Serverless framework. Into improving productivity and note taking with org-mode.

Love how he is often able to push on the way autism is viewed.

I live my life mired in nuance. So much is in the realm of “not enough data to reach a conclusion” and so many people act as though it’s a matter of fact. And yet my thinking is considered wrong for not accepting extrapolations of incomplete data that feels unjustified by “this is how it works”.

Much like in this example: yes the DSM states black and white thinking is a problem for autistic people, while also being biased to not diagnosing people that lack this issue.

Feels ironic that the mental health field often gets hung up treating people as a member of category rather than individuals with room to be exceptional from the accepted mode of thinking for the category.

tbh This one comes across as a bit shaming of nonconforming gender expression as the butt of the joke.

I’m curious if this visualization is like my own. I can very vividly imagine an apple but then the web of thought expands out, and I’m near simultaneously visualizing different colors, shapes, varieties, artistic representations, states of being eaten or degraded, and viewed at different angles, lighting, and settings in rapid succession, so that all the images overlap in a blur of what it is that’s meant by apple.

The one I enjoyed the most was probably Nippon, but that’s been a long time top tier game for me, and it was an especially tight game.

Been in the north GA mountains playing board games with some of my closest friends. For the last several years we rent a cabin for at least weekend each year. It’s my last one before moving and it’s been a blast. Still have through Monday.

[Edit for games play list:]

  • Seas of strife
  • Nippon
  • So Clover
  • Knarr
  • Wyrmspan
  • Aqua
  • Just One
  • Supply Lines of the American Revolution
  • Table tennis
  • Zombicide
  • Straw

The sure were. Bus actually came out in ‘99, predating even Caylus for using the worker placement mechanism

Similar. It was throwing me off while programming though (especially with vim key bindings), so I’m currently trying quotes in the same position but under a different layer on my Moonlander. Most likely going to switch back to quotes to default layer, colon as secondary, and keep backtick in the third layer.

 

I finally received my copies of two Splotter Spellen titles that a friend of mine was holding onto. Beest and D’raf. The original seller wasn’t shipping them outside of the EU, so my friend in Spain received them and brought them back.

Also happy that the DIY box style matches my edition is of Bus.

Once I get my preordered rerelease of Ur: 1830 BC, I’ll have every title I’d been interested in, bringing the total to 15.
