This is genius

• They are sturdier and require less delicate handling, lest you damage a paperback’s cover, or accidentally bend some of the pages
  • i always remove the paper graphic covers from HB so i just have the bare cardstock cover
  • this is handy if you need to travel with it, say on vacation, or to / from school or work
• the spine is a lot sturdier and looser
  • with PB, the spine is just the same paper material as the cover, and it forms creases as you read
  • with PB, the spine is usually really tight, which makes it really hard to lay out the book flat
  • with hardback, the spine is separate from the cover, which lets it flex more easily, and the material that binds the pages is generally more durable to flexing over time

I should probably note, i mostly read from e-ink tablets these days

But i still prefer HB over PB if i need / have a physical copy

If they’ve been blind since birth, then their brain might not be capable of processing this completely new stimulus fast enough

It’d be the equivalent of us being able to “see” magnetic flux using our nipples, for 30 seconds

Hardback is always worth the price

I run Arch, so docker was the easiest method of installation.

Rather than try and figure out how to install a .deb manually (and lose package manager perks)

Vscode and dotnet core (5+) work well on linux

You can also run SQL Server via docker
