I explain "X equals X plus one" as though each variable has an implicit version that increases whenever it's written to or as time goes on, but we can only access the lastest version.

For example

    X = X + X

is really

    Xv2 = Xv1 + Xv1

I code on my phone using termux, tmux, nvim, and Unexpected Keyboard (no physical keyboard) on an Android phone. Vim style modal editing is actually really well suited to this kind of development.

It lets me work on my hobbies while I commute, travel, or am otherwise idle and is a nice alternative to scrolling social media or consuming content.

With git, I can just sync my changes and work from a PC when I can/want to.

The page loads a "subscribe to author" modal pretty quickly after the page loads. You may have partially blocked it, so you won't see the modal but it still prevents scroll.

Do you have any reason to believe that your automated AI checker is accurate or reliable? If anything, you're biasing yourself against neurodivergent applicants or anyone applying using their non-native language.

Guess I'll go back to coding on my phone :'(

90% of these remote jobs are either hybrid or US only. I'm so tired of wading though all this incomplete and dirty data.

This is also covered by "make it fail"

This and Firefox on Android with uBlock Origin

Doing something pretty similar with u,v coordinates to project half-edge arrows onto triangle faces.

A bit fancier than my awk version

  awk -W interactive 'BEGIN { t = systime(); } { u=systime(); if (u - t > 1) { printf("= %s %ds =========\n",strftime("%T"), u - t); }; print $0; t = u; }'

Or if you want to clear the screen too

  awk -W interactive 'BEGIN { t = systime(); } { u=systime(); if (u - t > 1) { printf("\033[2J\033[H= %s %ds =========\n",strftime("%T"), u - t); }; print $0; t = u; }'

Just to maybe save someone a couple of seconds of time: the '-W interactive' bit is a mawk-specific option (-W is for implementation-specific options). Not 100% certain but it looks like the gawk default does something similar so no additional option is needed, I think.
