What makes you think that everyone who wrote the Constitution and relevant documents 250 years ago was infallible?

The founding fathers got plenty of things wrong, knowing they were designing an imperfect system.

For example, first past the post voting. Washington cautioned against the rise of political parties knowing full well that they were an inevitable consequence of the system he was complicit in engendering.

I'm amazed that DDG/Brave don't understand that typing something immediately after a "!" on a smartphone is annoying and difficult. DDG only supports "!" after the character for a small subset of bangs. Thankfully "g!" is one of them, but it's immensely easier to type on smartphone.

`hg` literally already has `hg undo` as a command. It's good that `git` can have a similar tool

> promote you right out of software development and into management

At good companies, these two jobs run parallel, not one on top of the other. Management should be viewed as a sidegrade, not a promotion.

Please say which country you're referring to when you say "in my country" on the internet. It allows others to contextualize and verify otherwise useless information.

The problem with this is that schools tend to very specifically teach TI calculators while leaving other calculators to the children to self-teach.

This is fine if you're a kid who likes/understands/cares about calculators, but if you're not and you don't like math or find learning a specific UI with no guidance annoying it can be bad. I knew kids of both varieties in HS.

Here's some CSS rules if you want to change it yourself instead of relying on an obviously poor design choice.

Can you elaborate on this? const and let should be interchangeable from a performance perspective because it's not like the engine needs your input to know whether a binding is reassigned ever (that's a fundamentally easy thing for a compiler to check) so I must conclude that you're seeing performance benefits from using block scoped variables with TDZ that disappear when you use function scoped variables with var?

For some reason people who cook in the USA believe that food isn't worth eating unless it looks like meat. I'm astonished at the amount of time that I go to eat "vegetarian" food anywhere and it's just the meat dish with fake meat in it.

Meanwhile, I go to India and check for vegetarian food, and suddenly it's like care and thought was actually put into making food that works for vegetarian ingredients instead of just substituting what's in a meat dish.

Read the user manual. I'm not trying to be snarky - the user manual is explicitly something that isn't the same as the reference and the user manual is called out as the next step after `vimtutor`.

Start with `:h user-manual` and go from there!

> it's applied to a small enough input

The whole point of big-O notation is to analyze algorithms as they're applied to input of size `n` larger than some `n_0`. Of course it's not useful for small inputs - it's explicitly about large inputs.

> it's implemented very efficiently

On large inputs, it's very hard see how, say, a linear algorithm with a quadratic algorithm regardless of how "efficiently" it's implemented. Assuming you're talking about something like cache friendliness or good register allocation?
