Didn't they crash the market that one time

Is this the same as BtrFS?

I'm a vim novice. I basically know just enough to save files or quit, paste with formatting, and "insert" changes. I think I used to know how to find within a file, and I'm sure I could learn again in an instant, but I haven't had to do that in a long time for my noobish tasks. I know it is way more capable than that, but I haven't had to learn more features yet since I use it at a 'nano' level.

I agree it only takes 3 minutes to learn these things, but personally it took me a bit longer to make them muscle memory.

I get it if someone were to be annoyed that things they knew how to do in another program they had to re-learn in vim, but this kind of thing it seems like you would just accept that you're going to be frustrated and then put in the work to learn it so you can work more easily with your coworkers or whatever. Like you said, vim has serious advantages, and it seems a little short sighted to not be willing to learn from people that want to train you up in a tool to be more effective.

I had a boss once who would talk about whether something passed "the laugh test" i.e., if you said it would it be believable enough that people wouldn't laugh. If you were going to suggest something it needed to pass the laugh test.

I feel like with news entertainment, stuff just has to pass the laugh test to get shared ...

And clearly not everyone laughs at the same unbelievable things.

These comments are really weird.

I was initially very concerned that you were trying to install a 13+ year old version of Ubuntu, 12.04 (Precise Pangolin). Now I just feel old.

Is that the scary doll?

When I was visiting Alsace with my family, we witnessed a stereotypical interaction between the loud English speaking Americans and the French hotel staff, and neither could communicate well, and both were frustrated. My family was next in line, and the hotel staff looked at us like, "oh God, what's next," but when we started talking to them in French they melted. They were so happy that we could communicate easily, and were so much more relaxed.

I was thinking of amonaemonesia, mistaken for magic.
