Absolutely — great job finishing Problem Solving (2nd Edition) by S. Ian Robertson. It’s a dense book but one of the most practical introductions to how humans actually solve problems, why we sometimes fail, and how to deliberately improve.
Below is a structured refresher plus concrete, actionable takeaways tuned for your personal learning style (you tend to like systems, breakdowns, templates, right-brain/left-brain alternation, and deep skill-building).
Robertson’s core premise:
Original post: microsoft/vscode#175586
I also ran into a similar issue where, when I scroll on my terminal window, it doesn't scroll the entire output, but scrolls through my command history, its very annoying. I found the above post #175586, it ended unsolved.
Here is my fix, and it was related to setting I had done earlier but forgotten about:
terminal.integrated.scrollback and setting it to 0, thinking that this would set my output buffer to be unlimited, but it really sets my scrollback buffer/window size to 0.terminal.integrated.scrollback to some large number and re-open the terminal, instead of 0.
