Google Keep is a nice concept. Text and available on all devices.
I moved out of keep. It's an HTML backend.

Unleaded gasoline was unleaded long before ethanol was added. So, no, I didn't prove his point.
The history of ethanol in gas is quiet old.
Per https://www.eia.gov/kids/history-of-energy/timelines/ethanol...
It looks like it usage of ethanol as an additive started increasing around the same time lead was being phased out.
Isn't a large part of ethanol it's use as a fuel additive that it boosts octane and is relatively cheap? Compared to leaded gasoline it seems very "green".

# clearly makes git better
If these options clearly make git better, why aren't they the defaults?
The default rarely change avoid breaking changes.

He can't hate them that much he put one on his website.
It makes for a good test
Are we finally realizing the "AI Agents" are complete snake oil? Cron jobs and while loops with non deterministic crappy behavior?
I've found targeted agents work best. Of course this also means I now have ~8 different tools I can choose to search with.
They aren't generic and the output needs to be monitored.

I couldn't find the tester. Thankfully the client i was tested... And it behaves poorly. Thankfully emacs has a client I can switch to!
Not disagreeing with your points here in this context, but it's interesting to note that I learned touch typing on a typewriter in school and I know which letters I've missed when typing, and can happily copy pages of text without needing to see the screen - even to correct any errors.
I wonder if that's lost with this paper's method of typing.
I learned on a Mac. The course material was copying from a book without looking at the screen, then correcting the errors. This second pass to correct mistakes is different, and it's not clear that you can be removed when taking notes without affecting learning.
Wow. Junk science indeed. "Unforeseen effects on the brain" so you essentially test in a way that is incomparable to those who are experienced typists?
If you're only using one finger to type, of course you're using less brain activity to control that one finger, versus all ten.
I'm unable to read the actual paper, but from the comments here, it sure seems like they worked backwards from an existing premise ("handwriting is better than typing for retaining information") and found a way to make that "truth".
Edit: Missed the link to the article in the comments. Reading it now.
They give a recommendation for education, but didn't measure retention.
I agree with their premise provided students don't know how to touch type (given the anecdotal amount of visual typing I've seen a reason concern for students) it's also interesting that it's cursive, which is being taught less.
