Everything? It, just like tar, don't follow the convention of many other CLI utilities. That alone is why I prefer `fd` or plocate for most tasks I previously used find for.

Is this not exactly what Biden also did in his last month in office? So far both presidents have blanket pardoned a mix of political allies, family members, and rioters right in front of the American public and no one's talking about i

Still the case in 2025, at least at all the universities I frequent. I like reading through the oldest books in the collections and ones related to my field / hobbies, but other than that, I don't know of anyone who actually check

You hit it right on the head, I think. Even at my own university, I struggle to maintain a 3.0 GPA while at the same time actively tutoring students for the very courses I'm failing. The issue isn't knowledge or competency, it&#x2

At my University, scripts like these are pretty much universal. We even have an alumni-run site that scrapes the registration platform's API for the details of every course to provide a better UI interface. It even has a tool to genera
