When I was learning Linux back in the day, one of the most beneficial thing I did was to go though the VIM tutorial and learn to use it properly. I'm no master at it but oh boy that time spent has paid dividends down the line.

OSs need to stop letting applications have a free reign of all the files on the file system by default. Some apps come with apparmor/selinux profiles and firejail is also a solution. But the UX needs to change.

I've acquired so many tools like this, and I don't think I've ever looked at them at though I regretted the purchase. Many have enabled me to fix and make stuff down the line.

For me it's a combination of the nature of task, where I'm at and the nature and duration of the interruption. But usually an interruption causes a large amount of penalty points.

We can argue if it's a feature feature creep and if it's the right choice of formatter.

But let's appreciate that this will increase the use of formatters astronomically (or part thereof), which is an excellent thing.

It's very tempting to assume what people will or are doing, and it's so, so easy to get it so wrong.

Picture this. Guy comes home late at night. Outdoor light is on. He goes in and presses he light switch. No lights come on but the fuse blows and now the outdoor light is gone.

What does he do?

The answer is that you have no idea based on only that information. It's tempting to think he'll do what my friends and I would do: find the fusebox and investigate.

But the thing is, his crazy ex's crazy boyfriend threatened yesterday to kill him. This guy is bolting, not looking for the fusebox.

> pressured

Maybe incentivized? $1000? $10000? Would be interesting to hear from the developer himself.

Have you heard results from it? How does it know for example, when there is a romantic scene in the book, which voice to read out as?

It's definitely an exited voice, but is it read out as in a battle or as in a romantic scene?
