That explains the convention of using repeated ^H in a post to show one deleting a word (typically what they really meant) and replacing it with something more acceptable. Occasionally, I saw people use a single ^W instead for that purpose.

Why wouldn't it work? If an automotive trade group suggested that one should not let their car's engine idle in a closed garage and the garage should be open while doing so, the advice would not work? Education has to start from

I typically write tests and code in a way that I test the functional core of the code without testing the imperative shell part of it (at least for the unit tests). But we also test our code by provisioning a local VM that not only deploys

As another Muslim, my view is that clothing that attracts attention of others doesn't fulfill the purpose of hijab. So, if you're the only one wearing a head covering, people are going to pay unnecessary attention to you. The same
