Make the terminal full screen then run Goyo for a distraction free experience. It adds margins on right and left like in Word to center the text, except in vim there isn't a toolbar on top or gray space on the sides.

For want of a margin the kingdom was lost. I hate no margins and use the Goyo vim plugin to make my editing experience more pleasurable.

Another similar example is EBV, commonly known as mono, which is often associated with chronic fatigue syndrome and fibromyalgia. Viral infection occurs, followed by a prolonged period (sometime years and years) of flu symptoms. I would gue

Probably the best way to understand it is similar to the complaints that Stack Overflow is filled with basic beginner questions on the front page to the extent they drown out any questions with real technical meat.

Also, don't forget the whole COVID-19 isolation thing, which encouraged people to find ways to pass the time online. I've seen graphs showing the number of users on lichess significantly increased right when the lockdowns started.

I was always jealous of the stories about programmers in the 80s who wrote games in insanely small amounts of RAM. I kind of want that same kind of challenge needed to be overcome in my lifetime.

Learning all the complexity at once is very, very painful. It is my least favorite thing about playing board games. However, once you play a board game often enough it can become a bit boring without more surface complexity unless you reall
