We don't know yet when could COVID-19 pandemic ends, so picking up a new skill or learning a new programming language/technology could be worth the use of your time. What new skills have you learned or started learning so far? If you are a developer, what learning resources do you recommend?
I've had the time to start writing a book in earnest. I've used LaTeX extensively in the past -- albeit not in the past 5 years or so.<p>* Refreshed my knowledge of LaTeX using the lualatex engine<p>* Learned how to use the Memoir class<p>* Learned how to use the subfiles package (highly recommended!)<p>* Learned how to version control my chapters using Mercurial / MacHg<p>* Learned how to use the Zettelkasten tool The Archive<p>* Switched from Terminal to iTerm2<p>* Switched (mostly) from regular vim to MacVim (love it)<p>* Discovered and am using vifm, the vi-oriented file manager (the type of classic nerdy Unix tool I love!)<p>* Started using Typinator to ease work with The Archive<p>* Started using aspell - a great spell checker
Baking bread using a sourdough starter instead of yeast; noodling about with NodeMCU (really fun and dirt cheap) and BBC Micro:Bit (really fun, not as cheap as NodeMCU but still pretty cheap, and really easy for younger people to get started with); and I've just started pencil sketching. I'm an absolute total beginner, but it's enjoyable.
