Reading both Huxley's Island and Arthur C. Clarke's Against The Fall Of Night. At 202 pages in on the former and the main character is still lying in the hospital bed. In contrast, 53 pages in on the latter, the plot is thick and I'm super hooked.

I'll need to remind myself to do

`gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface gtk-enable-primary-paste true`

when GNOME no longer wants me to use the mouse middle-click to paste. 😭

We keep seeing startups who want to replace something valuable (therapy, counseling, tutoring, artistic expression) with some tech bullshit under the banner of democratization. But why do we need to invest so much in bad tech that doesn't work instead of just giving people access to what they need?

Add completion to `make` with this oneliner:

```bash
complete -W "\`grep -oE '^[a-zA-Z0-9_.-]+:([^=]|$)' ?akefile | sed 's/[^a-zA-Z0-9_.-]*$//'\`" make
```

Discovered #emacs `shell-command-on-region` interactive function!

No more copy/paste to the shell, run the command, copy/paste the result back to #emacs.

Had some trouble today understanding how to "receive" and use block arguments in a function. #ruby 💎

Found this article by Noel Rappin that explains it really well!
