I'm just waiting for the Damnation Alley or Ark Ⅱ references.

LD and SNW are easily some of the best Trek series.

How would TNG have fared if people dipped out at ep 2?

You get used to it sooner than you'd think. There are libraries to convert between regex and English. Maybe it deserves a Unicode code block like APL?

Not something I've encountered.

Wait until you see what they do to avoid learning SQL or Regex or JSON Pointer or XPath.

I use them fine with my left hand. There's no reason to stay on home row if you're doing a lot of copy and paste. Of course, if you're doing that much copy and paste, using an extension that allows VIM shortcuts would be much faster.

If you don't like BÉPO because you want familiar letter-based clipboard shortcuts, you've already made a better layout selection impossible. I learned to use the older clipboard shortcuts: ctrl+ins for copy, shift+ins for paste, and shift+del for cut. Those are still as universally supported.

If you want everything bundled instead of à la carte, that sounds more like eclipse to me. But then, I don't understand how anyone can program in Java.

I think that aphorism is about authority-respect rather than basic-human-decency-respect.

This thread makes me wonder how much contemporary American English is to blame for people being able to exploit ambiguities surreptitiously. Dog whistles have to start somewhere, they don't seem to be prearranged.

I think the rationale is that, when it's a single individual, they can't pass the buck or blame the group. It's a final appeal at a human level.

The trick is not electing a troll.
