I like rectangle [0]. It fits my needs well enough without requiring disabling SIP. I especially like the “repeated key presses resize a window on the same side” feature, so I can get cycle the size of the window on the right side of the screen from 1/2->1/3->2/3 easily. I miss i3 sometimes and this ain’t an identical replacement but it gets the job done! Turns out I don’t move my windows all that often anyways.
+1 for rectangle. was using spectacle before.
The developer of Balatro made an award winning deck builder game by not being aware of existing deck builders.
I'm beginning to think that the best way to approach a problem is by either not being aware of or disregarding most of the similar efforts that came before. This makes me kind of sad, because the current world is so interconnected, that we rarely see such novelty with their tendency to "fall in the rut of thought" of those that came before. The internet is great, but it also homogenizes the world of thought, and that kind of sucks.
one might “... overlook the great difference between exact theory and approximate theory. Again, let me emphasize my great respect for approximate theory. [...] if one starts looking for an effect predicted by this kind of theory to be impossible, the odds are against a favorable outcome. Fortunately, however, the community of scientists, like that of horseplayers, contains some people who prefer to bet against the odds as well as a great many who always bet on the favorite. In science we should, I think, do all we can to encourage the man who is willing to gamble against the odds of this sort.
This does not mean that we should encourage the fool or the ignoramus who wants to play against suicidal odds, the man who wants to spend his time and usually someone else’s money looking for an effect incompatible with, let us say one of the conclusions reached by Willard Gibbs. Gibbs started from thoroughly proven generalizations, the first and second laws of thermodynamics, and reasoned from them by exact mathematical procedures, and his conclusions are the best example I know of exact theory, theory against which it is futile to struggle.”
