I've been using CopyQ for years as well. It took a while to setup and the preferences UX is messy, but it has lots of customization options, and results in the best UX imo.
Maccy has pretty poor visuals when copy pasting images, rich text, etc. I find it important to visualize the actual look of some media when looking for it in the history. CopyQ is amazing at that.
This looks fantastic, I was recently disappointed to learn that there don't seem to be any good KVMs under ~$200, that support anything higher than 4k@60Hz.
Apparently Thunderbolt/DisplayPort are not really a thing yet for some reason, so I ended up getting a USB (KM) switch instead. With this project, it looks like I'll be able to have my cake and eat it too.
I've managed to find a cheap 2-port DP KVM that pretends it's able to do DP 1.4 / 8k @ 60 Hz. I can only confirm it works well at 4k@60 Hz, since that's the best my screen can do.
One pro is that it's able to get power from any of the USB inputs, so no extra cable!
One con is that for some reason it only does USB 2...
I found the same problem roughly a couple years ago. I ended up building a very specific solution (switch input mode based on specific USB changes) that is more or less a subset of of the functionality here. I am now having near daily issues with the KM (a ~$30 one that was the only one I could find that really meet my needs) box. There is tons of room on the market for a good prosumer solution to this problem.
Make sure that the monitor you are using actually supports input management through DDC. I have seen some monitors that expose only the color management.
And even without trendy 'blinkist' I used to take a similar approach by first reading some prepatory materials before investing time to read the book. Listening to an audiobook is just another way for me to complement but no replacement.
I would not say this is fool proof.
You will never be able to get the "key takeaways" of every book by reading some summary. Sometimes the key takeway might be the way a book is written, how something is repeated while other things are left out that are most valuable.
Likewise quotes that once meant nothing to you, you will only understand after studying material by the other in depth, etc.
I found it too densely informative. After the 2nd or 3rd attempt I ditched it and just jumped into programming. Personal preference possibly. I think erlang's difficulty is exaggerated. Just jump in - the immediate little wins will lubricate the process.
"Densely informative" is the right way for a textbook to be, I think. You're not meant to read LYSE or books like it straight through; rather, each individual paragraph is dense enough with facts that after every one, you should stop and tinker with a toy example or two at the REPL to collect your thoughts and make sure you understand what's going on.
If you imagine someone teaching Erlang with LYSE serving as the actual textbook, they'd do what is done with most textbooks: split each chapter into rather small segments, and have you do exercises after each one to "interactively" absorb the knowledge.
Lausanne recently took the smallest-city-with-a-subway title from Rennes, France (214k).
My family is from Lausanne and I spent a few months studying in Rennes–the size and density plus the metro system makes these cities really pleasingly 'human scaled' in my view. Walking-first center city areas with lots of restaurants/shops, easily accessed from less dense areas by metro+good bus systems+intercity train, but small enough overall to not feel sprawling.
i3wm is a pretty popular tiling window manager which supports what parent described - you can set a window to "float" (so it doesn't tile, you can move around it like in a regular wm) and you can also set it to be "sticky" (so it stays visible even if you switch to a different workspace).
Yup, i3 is what I'm using. I admit my wm investigation wasn't that thorough, I mostly chose i3 because coworkers use it and I really liked it right off the bat. I also tried xmonad and awesome.
And not that anyone will see this now, but most people in this thread were responding to my "OSX and Windows don't offer powerful window management solutions" specifically in reference to my comment about floating windows. That's just one example of many things OSX/Windows doesn't allow the user to do.
Not to be too dramatic, but i3 has made me more productive, more focused and happier while working. I now fear ending up in an environment where using Linux isn't possible. It's really that good. But really, tiling window managers are that good.
A couple of months ago I stoped using rvm, kerl, exenv, nvm and started using asdf - "Extendable version manager with support for Ruby, Node.js, Elixir, Erlang & more".
I've been pretty satisfied with it, and haven't had a single problem with it yet - it just works (™).
