I make it a point to use the office bathrooms only to excrete food I ate from the work cafeteria. Personal food I ate at home I excrete in my personal bathroom.

Can Foam store the data in files in a local folder using a file sharing tool like Dropbox, SyncThing or Resilien? I don't want private notes going on Github.

I agree that git is a nightmare with a user-hostile interface. Keep backups outside of git and just bite the bullet and learn it. There is no middle-ground, you are either floundering in a storm or master of git but it's everywhere so you have to get through the learning curve. If you are using the command line I recommend 'easygit' (eg) (
https://people.gnome.org/~newren/eg/
) or 'gitless' (gl) as far saner interfaces that don't hide git from you but make the interface simpler and more consistent.

You shouldn't write an article telling people not to use Python if you don't really understand Python in the first place. Lists are called Lists in Python because they are just that: lists of varying and dynamic length of heterogeneous datatypes. If you want an array with a homogeneous datatype packed efficiently sequentially in memory Python also has that: a=array('i').

What a bad article. C++ shouldn't be taught either because C++-98 (1998) isn't compatible with C++-20 (2020).

Unless I'm behind the news, I think the incident people are referring to is: Triplebyte added a new feature to have a public profile highlighting your skills for your job-hunt. They didn't think it through and made the new profile public by default. Many people who were job-hunting discretely were understandably upset by this.

Try Spacemacs. Vim keybindings, logical well documented help/menus, plus emacs goodies like org-mode. It's the best of Vim and Emacs.

This is wonderful! I hope you wrote up how you put all this together somewhere? Link to a blog post or something?

Interestingly there is a Japanese phrase 'kuchi sabishii' that translates to 'lonely mouth' which means you aren't hungry but want to snack.

I am having a hard time understanding the benefit of taking thousands of students who have been mixing in close contact all month and mostly likely are already infected and forcing them to disperse to their various home towns across the country.
