I gotta use Windows 11 for a while. C++ and web development + 3D modeling/graphics apps + Unreal engine.
Please share good apps that you recommend. So far I got:
- Everything
- FilePilot
- Powertoys
Windows Terminal is okay, but kinda sluggish. Is there something like iTerm for Windows?

16k+ page hits from bots in just a few minutes today. I'm tired of fighting this. I think I'll make Minifeed mostly private - for logged in users only. Sad.

I'm learning Unreal Engine, and gotta say: LOVING blueprints. This is the kind of visual programming I wanted my whole life.
I've talked about some of these ideas in the past e.g. in this talk www.youtube.com/watch?v=edQy...

I miss good old internet forums. Some are still around, but it’s hard to get into established communities.
I was thinking what if we start a new forum built on our own simple open source code?
We’d have classic areas like tech, gaming, movies, hobbies. NO politics.
Would you consider joining?

I really dislike how the closing elements in all programming languages provide zero info about what they're closing.

Started noticing lots of people using “anymore” as “now”, as in e.g. “gaming sucks anymore”. So weird.
Also, “to” instead of “too” (“way to often!”) and “there” instead of “their”

I have never seen a good implementation of WYSIWYG combined with markdown. Gitlab's comment editor is infuriating.

I’ve never played extraction shooters before, and tried Arc Raiders today. It’s absolutely amazing.
GeForce now isn’t perfect though. Perhaps it’s finally time to revamp my gaming pc. Cuz I’m still on GTX 960.

I got to a similar point a few years ago. My "finance system" is calculating the net worth once a month. No transactions, no budgets.
My Apple watch has all tracking disabled. Don't care about calories or workouts. Just let me live :D

Do you know of any other scientists whose first, middle, and last names became names of things or concepts?
I only know of Haskell Brooks Curry.
Haskell and Brook are programming languages. Currying is a concept in computer science.
