When we're trying to make sense of things in the big picture, forest from the trees sort of thing, we have to take broad sweeps. We should be able to address counter-points when making high level arguments. Their existence doesn't

I advocate organic learning for Vim and often other tools like it. Learn to do the bare minimum first, which for Vim is modes and how to exit. Then, after you find yourself doing something slowly a few times over, search how to speed it up

A bit unfair considering the exact same could be said for another large bubble with 's/loses/wins/'. To GP, you could add more than snark. The most strongly proclaimed message is that there's a stolen election

Considering how Trump is never there for his supporters, I'm surprised he has any left. I'm skeptical that there will be any more significant protests anywhere in the country. The Capitol mob was a portion of the most hard-core wh

Similar experience. Went cold turkey once and had quite strong headaches for 2-3 days. No trouble for the remainder of the fortnight. But I only stopped because of vacation and the resort only had terrible coffee. (Headaches were marginally

Shame it didn't just stay a trading bloc. This expansion of power is really unpopular and enabled Brexit in the first place. It's also probably a proxy for immigration, mostly of the illegal variety, but also legal within the Sche

I want to list the lies you omit, not because of my own partisan position, but because of yours. Hillary Clinton wasn't sick (in 2016). (Noone wants to enjoy this but it clearly wasn't the truth.) There's no conflict of inter

I don't understand the difference between Selenium and Cypress. Is Cypress general control of the browser but just nicer somehow? Or is there a deeper disconnect in their designs/capabilities?
