Yes, I tend on the side of only tweaking things when I realise I'm repetitively using the same context menus. That's the only point I learn the keyboard shortcuts, or map one, these days. I really haven't had to learn too many shortcuts. The best ones are multi-cursor editing like you've mentioned.

Much beloved? Maybe in your circle, certainly nobody i know considered him beloved. I mean, the guy admitted to a room full of journalists he was happy to burn a bunch of Afghan informants. The guy is a narcissistic wanker who put lives at risk.

I totally recommend this, especially if you haven't heard Dan's podcasts before. One of his best, next to Death Throes of The Republic (if you want a fascinating depiction of pre-Empire Roman history)

If there was a way to get a company licence, I'd have bought it for our dev team.

Er what? https://www.jetbrains.com/business/

It's triple the cost of a single user license for the same thing. Beancounters don't like that.

People don't like that

Then can I ask the owner of whatever device we're running on, to add one or two zeros to my bank balance?

Hopefully you're not overdrafted when they come through on that request.

I can imagine a season of Curb Your Enthusiasm with Larry David spending the season trying to bring the codpiece back into fashion, after another embarrassing pants tent episode like in the very first season! Would be an awesome signoff for his final season.

Man that sucks. Rest in peace. I loved his character in The Mandalorian.

We (and our new clients) constantly get frivolous cease and desist notices from a particularly butthurt competitor whenever they lose one of their customers to us. They have a habit of shutting off customer access to their systems and ignoring any requests from customers (who are still paying their bills) for their data.

Likewise. I've even given up table top games like Flames of War for lack of space to place a 4ft x 6ft game board. No chance to fit a static model railroad. My dad fit one in our townhouse growing up by building it around his and mum's bed. She hated the thing. Every few months it would encroach further.

And of course, the public servants and the politicians involved largely got off scot free. In the Australian Robodebt case as well as the British Post Office, the key people involved should be facing criminal proceedings to deter this sort of thing!
