rm is like "delete permanently", trash-cli is like regular delete - it moves to the trash bin. Many people like making an alias so rm runs trash-cli to prevent accidentally permanently deleting data

Ivan Pavlov was a Russian physiologist. During his studies, he observed that dogs would begin to salivate whenever an assistant entered the room, even if no food was present. Pavlov realized that the dogs had learned to associate the presence of the assistant with the arrival of food. He then conducted experiments where he would ring a bell or sound a metronome immediately before presenting the dogs with food. Over time, the dogs learned to associate the sound with the food, and would begin to salivate in response to the sound alone, even without the presence of food. This research on dogs became an iconic example of classical conditioning and the comic references this.

Since the light actually passes through the glasses and just gets refracted, there's no screen in front of your eyes. It's like looking through water, a window or anything else translucent/transparent.

Tungsten. It's just so cool that it's so dense and has such a high melting point. It's also really hard and tough.

Edit: also dragonflies are pretty badass

I love how quickly I can get things done using keybindings (I use Vim in Obsidian) and how I can link everything together to really form a second brain with lots and lots of stuff all linked together nicely. I also love Obsidian Sync, I think it's worth it.

I hate the unreasonably long startup time. It's even worse on mobile as every time you open the app, it fully restarts, taking 10+ seconds. I've been trying to leave it open in the background but it's muscle memory to close all apps immediately.

I also don't like the lack of a good CAS plugin. I currently use mathpad which gets the job done but I often find myself tinkering with my input because mathpad sometimes just refuses to work properly. Maybe it approximates too much or sth but often times it just doesn't calculate accurately, doesn't solve equations properly, etc.

Both. When I need to annotate PDFs, I usually just throw it into Excalidraw to draw and write in it. (Haven't found a good dedicated plugin yet)

Canvas I use to visualize ideas and get a kind of flowchart thing going for porgramming-related thoughts and sometimes presentations.
