You could give 25 million people who are either veterans or disabled a million dollars...

Not to rain on your parade (I think the idea of a military parade is patiently wasteful and dumb, meanwhile we don't do enough as a nation to care for veterans and disabled people), but that would be a lot more than $45 million. More like $25 trillion... or 25,000x $1 billion... or 25,000,000x $1 million.

Broad brush, indeed; it seems like their most outspoken clergy is a whole lot more liberal than their most outspoken congregants... But, yeah, "validated and honored" sounds about right.

I've been calling him "God-King" for years ... ironically, to shed light on the cult nature of MAGA ...

I do not like this timeline.

"Two things can be true at the same time."

Even if people can't agree on who's lying about what, we can definitely agree that there's one and only one sitting president on our lifetime who has called himself a king.

Completely agreed. At one point, maybe 12 years ago, I remember trying to learn NP++'s macro system. It was better than whatever we had at the time, but I'm glad I didn't spend more time than I had to. Just a couple months ago, a coworker was raving about how great NP++ macros are ... to do a task handily solved by some light regular expressions and/or column edit mode. Both REs and CEM are far more ubiquitous concepts than some bespoke, domain-specific language for defining repetitive tasks.

Clearly this is a controversial statement. I'm team "use what's available and preference tools that get the job done quickly."

I work in several different languages. VSCode has TreeSitter and a bevy of slick plug-ins. NP++ does not. I can use VSCode on both Windows and Linux. If I've got a desktop environment, I will hands down pick VSCode over NP++ every time.

Otherwise, let's be real, NeoVim is king.

If it's used as an identifier to link together rows from different tables. Also known as "joining" tables. SSN (with birthdate) is a unique identifier, and so it's natural to choose as a primary/foreign key.

I fear signal has to be mentioned a thousand times from all directions before they "trust" it.

Yes. A thousand times yes. The risk profiles humans naturally adapted to are not well aligned with the artificial risk profiles we see today. I can't fault someone for not transcending their own natural instincts, because heaven knows I can't.

Then nuance is dead and nothing is good enough.

Okay, so the Apache license is a "closed source" license?
