I see these Vim-enhancment posts a lot. If you need to install a mountain of plugins just to make it usable, why not use a more modern editor? Seems like nostalgia for the Unix greybeard era, possibly some eletism for when someone who isn&#

Years of market manipulation is fine as long as you're a federal agency with the backing of major banks. It's like the US complaining about Russia proxy wars and election interference - who do you think they learned those techniqu
