>The data seem haphazardly distributed, and yet neighboring lines repel one another, lending a degree of regularity to their spacing
Wow, that kind of reminds me of the process of evolution in that it seems so random and chaotic at the most microscopic scales but at the macroscopic, you have what seems some semblance of order. The related graph also sprung to mind just how very like organisms repel (less tolerance to inbreeding) but at the same time species breed with like species and only sometimes stray from that directive. What is the pattern that underlies how organisms determine production or conflict with other organisms and can we find universality in it?
I guess it's called "universality" for a reason. I suppose if we look hard enough, we'll see it in more things. I read the article and I'm hoping some brilliant minds out there can dissect musical tastes in the same way. I'd love to see if it could relate to what we find harmonious in music and what we find desynchronous via different phase, frequency and amplitude properties.

There has to be some reason there are "Top 10" listings for video games, music, art, tv, movies, anime, vacation destinations, toys, interior designs, historical buildings in NYC, et. al.
Certainly there is a great deal of variance in the order and membership of these lists, but you do find a lot in common. Without some underlying pattern or bias, I don't think we'd see this in so many places so consistently.
I am fairly convinced there is something to do with biological efficiency around information theory that drives our aesthetic preferences.
Today I was thinking about how observing the macroscopic is not a neutral process, it involves processing more and more information the further you zoom out. Perhaps there's something about these "zooming out" kinds of processes that resembles the law of large numbers but more broadly?
Link? An adapter allowing a M.2 SATA SSD to be used in a 2.5" SATA enclosure is cheap and dead simple: just needs a 5V to 3.3V regulator. But that doesn't help. Connecting a M.2 NVMe SSD to a SATA host port would be much more exotic, and I don't recall ever hearing about someone producing the silicon necessary to make that work.
I'm not very proficient nor really need office apps in my day to day use but I've heard good things about OnlyOffice should LibreOffice not meet your needs.
So does KDE's Dolphin and many others on Linux. Linux had tabs on file explorers well before Explorer did as well as virtual desktops, app stores, and a few other things that Windows didn't have but later implemented.
Didn't know Spectacle can do screen recordings now. Just tried it: The "New Recording" button seems to be broken. It does nothing. No error message on the terminal even. Maybe it only works under Wayland?
>Still far, far too complex to occur "randomly," which is fascinating
I don't see the word "random" anywhere in the article. By random maybe you mean it's seemingly indeterministic? Regardless of the nature of the underlying process, at the classical level, the environment acts as a deterministic filter, ie, other chemical processes.
Probably something like Boy Interrupted[0]. Sad story and something I can sympathize with having some of the same feelings very early on despite having a rather normal upbringing and siblings not showing signs of it.
