What App to Use for Notes?
Currently use markdown files + dropbox for sync. I can't seem to stick with a single notes app for any appreciable length of time but having files in plain text makes it easier to switch.
Currently using:
- Obsidian: this one has stuck the longest
- iA Writer: really pretty, seems to be more useful for longform
- NeoVim: I live it in anyway... may as well
- rlg: my own "dump thought to single file w/ timestamp" rust app), very janky, written specifically for my own use-case, standard "there may be dragons here, might eat your computer just for fun, etc" - https://github.com/bryan-lott/rust-lab-log

Hyperfine: A command-line benchmarking tool
Perhaps interesting (for some) to note that hyperfine is from the same author as at least a few other "ne{w,xt} generation" command line tools (that could maybe be seen as part of "rewrite it in Rust", but I don't want to paint the author with a brush they disagree with!!): fd (find alternative; https://github.com/sharkdp/fd), bat ("supercharged version of the cat command"; https://github.com/sharkdp/bat), and hexyl (hex viewer; https://github.com/sharkdp/hexyl). (And certainly others I've missed!)
Pointing this out because I myself appreciate comments that do this.
For myself, `fd` is the one most incorporated into my own "toolbox" -- used it this morning prior to seeing this thread on hyperfine! So, thanks for all that, sharkdp if you're reading!
Ok, end OT-ness.
