It’s been more than a month now than the interactions I have with my Macbook can be summarized to using Emacs (or Neovim) and Zsh in a Terminal (with 24 bit color enabled) and, optionally (more often than I would like), Firefox or Skim to read PDFs. It’s been relaxing, at least. Digital minimalism, plain text mode; I like it.

Unzip and run it in-place anywhere. It’s also entirely offline. It will never automatically update, or even touch the network. In mere seconds any Windows system can become a reliable development machine. — w64devkit: (Almost) Everything You Need

I’m halfway thru Season 2 of Fargo. Like True Detective, each season is independent from the preceding one. I didn’t like True Detective S2 (probably because I very much liked S1) so I quit after the first episode. Likewise, I find Fargo S2 far less intriguing than S1. I will probably stop after that one.

Ah, it looks there’s a new thing for editing text on the Mac: Nova. The choice of names for Mac text editors never ceases to amaze me. The last one I heard about from Jan de Leeuw was Fraise, but there were many others at that time (around 2008-2010) and I forgot all about their names.

I swear by vsearch since a week. It’s so fast and handy for all sort of things involving Fast[aq] files.
