Braces, yup. Fortunately they are waterproof so, might be an option.

I would indeed be interested. I have a few from my orthopedic doctor but they’re a bit limited.

Currently waiting on the appointment. Just impatient.

I recommend the edX CS50x course. It’s a bit more general about computer science than your ask but, it’s free, an actual Harvard/MIT course, and covers algos, data structures, and programming in C, Python, and JS (last I checked).

I maintained a CEPH cluster a few years back. I can verify that speeds under 10GbE will cause a lot of weird issues. Ideally, you’ll even want a dedicated 10GbE purely for CEPH to do its automatic maintenance stuff and not impact storage clients.

The PGs is a separate issue. Each PG is like a disk partition. There’s some funky math and guidelines to calculate the ideal number for each pool, based upon disks, OSDs, capacity, replicas, etc. Basically, more PGs means that there are more (but smaller) places for CEPH to store data. This means that balancing over a larger number of nodes and drives is easier. It also means that there’s more metadata to track. So, really, it’s a bit of a balancing act.

That’s a name that I’ve not heard in a long time.

Or, it could be a catamount.

Progressive relaxation. Seriously.

Nah. Mountain lion.

…I’m left with a strong inconclusive as to whether it’s possible :(

Possible, yes. Possible with current technology and understanding, no.

The methylation of DNA and other ways that its functionality is modified is something that is studied in epigenetics. Such modifications can also be carriers of heritable traits (ex. a study on Icelandic families found that experiencing famine could change the likelihood of diabetes two generations later). Modifying methylation has also been investigated for treatment of genetic diseases.

Conceivably, epigenome editing could be used to modify the sperm/egg methylation to make them compatible. But, that’s probably a ways a way from being practical.

Trackball/trackpoint built into the Svalboard.

You know, if I can use vim bindings and regex, I might try it out. I tend to try to keep my neovim plugins fairly lightweight when I config myself. Not being electron is a big plus.

Ctrl is already used my a large number of commands in POSIX shells. This is one of the places that I really like Apple’s solution (despite really not liking most of what they do). Super/GUI/Command + c/v is a great improvement in the terminal.

Fair enough. Those are things that I like to be able to use, however. Which makes nano/pico/micro a non-starter for me. Different strokes for different folks.

I like your thinking. Give me Firefox with a TUI and POSIX shell i/o redirection support.

One of the things that really, really annoys me when I get lazy and use a pre-bundled set of (neo)vim plugins is how every one of them uses mouse functionality. I only use the mouse to copy/paste from the terminal to system clipboard. I don’t want it hijacking him and entering visual mode.

How do I do regex or connect to an LSP with nano?

I’ve been using vim as my primary text editor and IDE for near a decade. I forgot that this was a thing so, I’ve been using visual mode like a peasant.

No.

Very understandable and valid. I find that Prometheus’ query language makes a lot of sense to me, so, I like it. Have you tried Cacti or Nagios?
