I wish they would take on Netflix with some better UI functionality. I can't even fast forward at hbogo.com without picking up the mouse. The only keyboard commands that work are Spacebar to pause and play and F to get full screen. Ano

I do everything with the keyboard in VS Code, in normal, non-vim mode and it's way better than vim. What vim does when you type out entire command sequence words and patterns, VS Code lets you do with a single keystroke or chord. In VS

As a programmer who has been using JS heavily since the late 90s and now doing mostly React and Node.js, I would say that finding the right modules and patterns to use has always been a big part of the job. It takes a lot of searching, expe

That makes some sense, but I don't see why I have to pick one. How do you feel about making it illegal to generate new humans (have babies) and do drugs if you're on welfare? I don't see why it's logical that we can only
