Probably stuff like emacs would be also good, but again not for me. I would fell into the rabbit hole of tinkering it and not do any work.

To be fair, Apple Notes works for me too, I use it for quick notes. and I use CotEditor for long term. As long as, I can have folders, sync files across devices, and open it with other applications too. it is fine. CotEditor is just a simple text editor, like notepad with support for folders.

or one can even go one step further and put the following in .Rprofile, and just use randnum.

makeActiveBinding("randnum", function() {
as.integer(system("curl -s 'https://www.random.org/integers/?num=1&min=10000000&max=99999999&col=1&base=10&format=plain&ind=new'", intern = TRUE))
}, .GlobalEnv)

set.seed(as.integer(system("curl -s 'https://www.random.org/integers/?num=1&min=10000000&max=99999999&col=1&base=10&format=plain&ind=new'", intern = TRUE)))

or even better in your case.

set.seed(as.integer(system("get_seed", intern = TRUE)))

bird simulation in R: colab.research.google.com/drive/12i0ay...

a friend of mine wanted to generate data for splines. I was reading papers, and found a bird related one and thought it was funny

makefile for quarto: gist.github.com/utkuturk/a49...

It can build pdf and html from a quarto file, pushes relevant stuff to the github for git-pages publishing and pushes latex related stuff to overleaf if you have a git overleaf link.

but my prior for overall americans' loudness might be effecting my judgment a lot.

From my samples, I think it is mainly an American thing. I have a mental list of who is a loud typer and who is not (At this point N is somewhat close to 500). And given is_loud ~ is_american * academic_level, there is only evidence for the effect of country.
