Are you thinking of "The Codeless Code" poem about this?

I read it as a to-do or calendar event: at such-and-such time, we will put the icing on some cookies.

I have a kitchen slide rule that I use to scale recipes and do simple conversions. I used it last week when inflating a ball that had a target diameter in centimeters, but measuring the circumference was much easier and my measuring tape was in inches.

We don't even need the term "identity theft". We already have a perfectly good word for than: "fraud".

From the article... Passkeys:

- are generated securely and so can’t be guessed - can’t be phished - are unique for each website you use, so if one website is compromised it doesn’t put your other logins at risk

Watch out for Occam's Hacksaw: Any complex problem can be made to look simple by hacking away enough parts of it as "not essential", saying you'll handle them in version two.

Grep is from an ed editor command: global (g) to apply a command to all lines that match a regular expression, a regex surrounded by slashes (/), and print (p) to display those lines. Or g/re/p for short. This proved a useful enough operation that they made it a separate command in the early days of Unix.

Very rarely. The only place I notice a difference is if the last letter I type is a j, the cursor 'hesitates' for a moment because Vim is watching for a k.

The advantage I found of jk over jj is that, in normal mode, jk is a no-op, so if I hit jk as Escape when I was already in normal mode, it doesn't matter.

The only problem is that when I'm editing text out of Vim, I end up with the occasional jk at the end of my typing. That almost happened while writing this comment.
