Nearly every country besides the USA has been experiencing "brain drain" to the USA since at least the end of WW2, and discussing it for just as long.

I agree about the layout, not sure about the skin. First thing I did was "Reduce Transparency" in Accessibility settings.

Helix is great! All of the features I wish vim had out of the box, and fast. It would be cool if it got more token-based movement/selection/replacement features, since it already has good tree-sitter integration.

How I read it, the deal could have been something like $5k (+$2k) for the trade-in car and $10k in cash. Later there is a $4k used EV tax rebate. In this situation the cost works out to something like 5k + 10k - 4k = 11k

I think you are misreading? > $17k minus an extra $2k added to my Camry's trade-in value This says the dealer paid a premium for the Camry to secure the deal on the Leaf. The Camry's full trade-in value was not given.

Back in my day the kids in my school didn't know what directories were either. But I taught a few of them how to remote shutdown other computers on the school network with cmd and soon everyone was doing it.

How is that number picked? 7 people with one manager seems fine. It could go up to 10 maybe, but that's just my own vibes. 7 layers thick of management feels like too much to me. You'll get a company full of professional middle ma
