Steve Losh's tutorial book on Vimscript

Carolyn Van Slyck made a thing out of computers.

After years of using vim I just recently discovered filename-modifiers which make it easy to, for example, quickly edit files with similar names.

This is a nice overview, from the issue of Increment magazine on programming languages.

Sasha has run a ~2:30 marathon in Crocs, and Benjamin has run a ~71 minute half in Crocs.

Runner's World has also done a profile of the family: https://www.runnersworld.com/news/a20848845/large-family-in-utah-aims-to-be-americas-fastest/

According to Wikipedia: TempleOS is a x86-64 bit, non-preemptive multi-tasking, multi-cored, public domain, open source, ring-0-only, single address space, non-networked, PC operating system for recreational programming. The OS runs 8-bit ASCII with graphics in source code and has a 2D and 3D graphics library, which run at 640x480 VGA with 16 colors. Like most modern operating systems, it has keyboard and mouse support. It supports the FAT32 and RedSea file systems (the latter created by Davis) with support for file compression.

Terry suffered from schizophrenia and claimed his design decisions were dictated by God (there are many religious/biblical elements throughout TempleOS).

Not quite 49 years old. Rumor is suicide by train. I've never even played with or downloaded TempleOS, but as a hobbyist just reading about Terry's work has always been inspirational.

I just worked through this interactive SQL tutorial. It is well written with an interesting if macabre example dataset. The interactive bits worked well once I enabled web components in Firefox.

My takeaway is that I should try running some long runs on tired legs.

I'm afraid this article is full of empty hope, but it is still encouraging. This is a fun sentence:

While you can’t put a number on it, adrenaline and competition will make the race distance feel two-thirds of what it really is.

Not as overly optimistic as other marathon prediction tools
