    Came across this article recently and feel like it's worth a discussion here. I've known how to play chess since I was a kid, but I plateaued pretty early. Would love to know some tips on how y'all improved your game over time, or any (fun) books you'd recommend. FWIW the article recommends 4 Chessable courses: 1. Learn Chess The Right Way, 2. Tactics Time, 3. Common Chess Patterns and 4. Improve Your Chess Tactics. The article does read like a Chessable advert? Not sure, that's why I wanted to have this discussion here.

    Absolutely, I adore this show so much. I was wary of the idea of a US spin-off when it was first announced but as I started watching it, I was hooked.

    Don't know if you heard but there's another spin-off of WWDitS called Wellington Paranormal. Not sure how connected it is to the original, haven't gotten around seeing it.

    Fwiw Miniflux (RSS reader) does support regex based filtering. I'm sure other RSS readers supports this functionality as well.

    Been using it for quite a while now and it's definitely useful. Atuin allows me to quickly pull up any command that I may have used months ago. That being said I've found it to be quite slow when pulling up its dashboard for the first time. There's a significant lag before I can actually start interacting with the history. So I had to fallback to Fish's <C-R> history, though I still have atuin recording my commands.

    FWIW there's other similar programs like mcfly and hishtory(https://github.com/ddworken/hishtory). mcfly uses a local neural engine to suggest you commands from history. Noticeably faster than atuin. Haven't used hishtory but looks similar to atuin but with not as many features.
