\about{me}

My name is Maria. I'm a software developer and AI researcher. I'm an avid note taker and a digital gardening enthusiast.

And this is my digital garden! I happen to own a lot of them. Recently I had an epiphany that I should try to keep some amount of my notes in HTML format, for it shall swiftly outlive every other technology I use now.

The only thing of note I can share with you right now is this:

START WHERE YOU ARE
USE WHAT YOU HAVE
DO WHAT YOU CAN

But who will leave reality of cesspit for their dreams?


  Two letter commands were common in UNIX
  because they were easy to type, and single letter commands were reserved for the user to define.

This page was made in Neovim.

Why is Neovim a superior editor?

Scriptable in Lua (not Elisp or Vimscript!)
Lua is the best language
I memorized Vim key bindings so well I can't use any other edytore animor
So many edits you want to make are a series of %s-s
Macros
I also love vifm a lot, which is a two-pane with convenient (aka vi-like) key bindings, and so my vifm and nvim shell out into one another a lot

Why not original Vim? I have a story to tell about that. I started using Vim many, many years ago when I just started the exploring Linux thing. The default suggested command line editor for LinuxNewbies is nano.

I can't say I like nano. I feel silly when I use it. Using Vim was more pleasant: I just entered insert mode whenever I opened a file and got a much more decent editing experience, almost comparable to gedit.

I eventually learned how to use Vim properly, but then I entered my Lisp phase and couldn't afford editing in Vim anymore, because I needed Emacs.

I can't say I like Emacs's default keybindings. Learning them is cool because by learning them you automatically acquire extra shell command editing skills. The built-in vi¹ emulation modes - and I think Emacs has three of them - weren't very good. Thankfully, there's evil-mode which I liked so much I couldn't come back to Vim anymore.

¹ Sic, not Vim

Neovim is so much better than Emacs with evil-mode though.

End of story.

Also, Neovim has a very cool VS Code integration.

How to reference a URL?

Unlike books, which may be torn, lost, given to another person without you ever remembering about it, URLs die in a different way: they stop opening. Or entirely different content is being put instead of what the URL once contained.

Despite that, we still want to reference URLs like we reference our books, in a nice list at the end of the text. This almost works well with books because many instances of a book are typically printed. For a URL, it is common to be served by a VM on a cheap VPS server.
