I'm writing lecture notes about graphics programming, mostly focused on the math behind, if you like this kind of material, they should be ready by December ;)
1. washing dishes by hand (supposing you don't like that but it's necessary)
2.Meditating
The first one is an habit you create because you need it done and you want it to be less pain.
The second one, if done for the wrong purposes of just 'wanting to improve oneself' it becomes a pain, because you know you don't really need it, but you force yourself to do it anyway.
Of course, if meditation is one of your strong believes, this doesn't apply, but 'meditating' because 'some people say it will improve myself and it will create an healthy habit' is noy a good goal.
Actually, I found washing dishes one of the most meditative things I used to do out of habit. It was my wife who was all for getting a dishwashing machine, not me.
On another note, after posting, I went to the main website and they display several user examples. They promise 'text' in images but everything I saw failed miserably, so I guess we are not there yet.
For the metric to evaluate this kind of network, to me it's impossible to define it, or at least correctly, it's too subjective, if you put a metric on it, it will influence the results and therefore limit the images you can create. (not even speaking about the kind of images we want it to create)
So maybe the best we can have is a very generic metric for training, and finetuning it to some style afterward depending on your usage.
So I don't really trust 'objective ranking', but we could take all those networks, fine tune them on some well defined style and evaluate them with ground truth images when we ask to make the original piece, it would at least be some kind of proxy on the finetuning-ability of the network.
I'm skipping a lot of details such as: how to generate the prompt corresponding to the desired output, but without thinking too much about it, it could be like finding some fix-point function, and there, we can create a metric. (but this fixed function would depend on the model, and probably we can't use it to evaluate other models, and having a fixed function for all models would not compare fairly)
I'm a user of Bepo (French)[1] for many years and I'll never look back to classical azerty and qwerty layouts.
Bepo doesn't split the keyboard per 'usage' per se, but remains extremely fast to use for programming and writing English or German, the German letters are logically set under the corresponding letters in bepo with a modification key.
For me at least (win 10) the win key + search randomely but systematically after some time fails to show me anything. So I'm stuck in an empty menu forever. I have no idea what causes this, I'm a heavy user and this pattern appears on all my machines.. My only solution is to forcefully kill the Explorer process, if that fail, I need to restart the whole computer..
Also, 'win + Calc' takes ages to 'find the app, launch the app'.
Finally, when I write the same string of characters to launch a program, sometimes it launches another one with a similar name.
Eg: visual studio and visual studio code, or randomely it open edge or chrome and does a Google search..
I suspect part of those issues are there because I type very fast.
Honestly that shouldn't be so bad. My computers are mostly i9 with plenty of ram.
One of the problem is that you can train the students to overfit any test, and that's worse than cheating which represent only a small number of students usually.
So by incentiving the teachers to make the students perform well in some tests, why teach real lessons when you can just throw at them cheat codes for the test.

The use of HTML/CSS has allowed their UI to stay in touch with modern GUI trends throughout all these years, and will continue to well into the future.
Made me laugh a bit, I usually find antivirus softwares out of touch with good design and really impractical due to that.
