    Is there a target date for the launch? The Ariane 5 timeline mentions 2021, but nothing more specific. When will it be shipped to French Guiana?

    Any idea why youtube was “winning” over the other sites? What did they do differently or better? Or was it just “luck” and better content being uploaded?

    I'm similar. When I need to create a lot of "new" code, I'll usually use nvim. When I need to edit/refactor existing code, I'll more often use atom or vscode. I like both a lot. When bashing out code that is al
