Thanks! The hints can be toggled on or off with F3 (the feature is introduced later but the toggle works from the very first exercise). I defaulted to showing them so that completely new Vim users don't get stuck or lost during the les

Yup, the login wall is a major PITA. Enforcing that for people who simply want to read the content is a mistake IMO. However, Quora made the decision that it would force enough signups for it to be worth it...not sure I agree, but they have

This is interesting, but I don't see how it is news. Our brains can take gibberish and impart meaning to it if we are looking for it (as our brains are primed to in the example in this article). Maybe I'm missing the new insight,

If you have enough written content that you've placed online, the US government can identify you anyway. A person's writing style and specific use of function words is their handwriting for the digital time. Creepy/cool lingu
