I worked with Edward Kmett for a few years.

He wore out the vim movement keys on a mac laptop keyboard in four months.

By "wore out" I mean he had worn the plastic down to the keyswitches, in FOUR MONTHS.

We once had an emergency production outage and Kmett got more productive as he stayed up later. At about 36 hours he fixed the problem. I fell over asleep, he fixed other problems he'd found during the investigation.

I have lots more Ed stories, but this output you question does not surprise me.

After decades of dealing with Elsevier, Springer-Verlag and the rest; I hope they all go out of business.

I go to the library, farmer's markets, do group classes at the gym, and join groups that match my interests.

I'm the same way. I require people time, and work from home wears me down.


I saw this used to obfuscate spam yesterday! Yay?


I think the solution is to launder all research papers through LLMs so the papers are no longer copyrightable, and let the rich journal owners fight with the LLM owners.


For source code diffs where a tree sitter grammar exists, difftastic is the best choice by far. It's better than you think it is.
