Out of curiosity, do have any citations on how those exercises don't enable learning? On the latter part, there used to be a hard mode at least in browser mode where you could have it force you hand type every word. I always really lik

I never understood why people even cared to choose a server. If you're only looking at posts from people you follow, it doesn't matter. Who cares what other people you don't know on your server are saying

As a Gen Xer, I figured this was a millennial thing. Given the age ranges you cite that may still be the case. I don't work with enough Gen Zers to paint them with a broad brush. But most of the people I've worked with who wanted

This hits me in the feels right now. I've been trying to convert from JetBrains to VS Code. And every time I do, stuff like this gets in my way. For instance: Python. Pycharm: I click on the side for a breakpoint, and then trigger a te

Also, our 2 huge parties aren't dissimilar to the coalitions of parties you see in other democracies. Over time the boundary lines between our 2 parties shifts as those coalitions are formed, disbanded, reformed, etc.
