I use sublime.txt everyday. The main purpose is reading, editing, searching a “scratch.txt” file I have been prepending to for the last 11 years. Sublime loads, saves, and searches it better than any other text editor. I have found it’s a helpful way to save random lists, notes, links, and common chunks of code.

It’s also my go to for wrangling weird txt.

Hmm, interesting. I have always thought of it as a kettle lake. But you're right! There is a strong argument for endorheic basic.

Is it necessary to name the problem if we know a driver of it?

Let me abuse pythonic values:

IMHO, minimum sentencing requirements and a rigid adherence to stare decisis is harmful.[1]

On the other hand, it is helpful to have a reasonable expectation for how things are going to turn out.[2]

I don't have the time to compare and contrast "casuistry" with legal realism, but my hunch is it would end up with the same result: judges figure out how they want to rule and then pick and choose what law to use to get there.

[1] PEP 8 (Quoting Ralph Waldo Emerson), "A Foolish Consistency is the Hobgoblin of Little Minds".

[2] PEP 20, "There should be one-- and preferably only one --obvious way to do it."

Sorry to be dense, but where in the article does it claim that GDP will grow forever?

An as an aside, GDP is only a proxy for how prolific an economy/country is. The country's output can continue to grow without generating more dollars.
