I have a heating pad under my keyboard which keeps my hands warm in the winter. Was like $20 on amazon, and I can't even begin to describe how amazing it is, since I was really tired of always having a mug of hot water / tea / coffee to hold and didn't want to keep the heat on my house super high when I could just wear a sweatshirt and be fine except my fingers.

My personal blog site scored only 20 and the AI said the layout was too complex, although the layout is quite minimalistic :(

Maybe the AI is biased against Rust.

Agreed! Jupyter notebooks are great, but I miss my Vim keybindings when editing code in cells.

(Plugins like Vimperator always collide with some native keybindings.)

If you run EIN (Emacs Ipython Notebook module) in emacs with vim keybindings (via spacemacs or evil mode, or some other distribution/mode) you can get some pretty great results. Would definitely look into it if you're either already using emacs or willing to try it out.

I have always had a problem with all these emacs or vim plugins for various editors and IDEs. The problem is that as soon as you leave the context they work in - switch to a different window or a dialog box (or, in the case of Visual Studio, anywhere outside the code editor window), you are back to having to use the native key bindings.

I had the same issues. I really liked vim for editing scripts but wanted more functionality as I was studying datascience and needed to work on Jupyter notebooks and RMarkdown files. Luckily someone showed me spacemacs which is an emacs distribution built on emulating the vim experience but with all of the power of emacs.

Definitely worth checking out.

Very cool project. Did you also do the machine learning research and model development in Rust?
