One of the things they say in this blog post is:
you know how some code editors will automatically fill in a right bracket or quote when you type a left one? You type " and the result is "|"? Yeah, that drives me up the wall. It saves no time whatsoever, and it’s wrong often enough that I **waste* time having to correct for it.*

I realized I've been fighting with this for years. They're right. It inserts a lot of characters I don't want, and I frequently spend time undoing superfluous quotes and braces.

I just went into the settings.json for Visual Studio Code and set:

"editor.autoClosingQuotes": "never",
"editor.autoSurround": "never",// When the word is selected

Based on an answer at stackoverflow.

I'll report back on whether I'm happy about this choice.

PAY ATTENTION

Via Elise Wang:

He proposes releasing some ICE prisoners to labor on farms where employers will “own them” and be responsible for them.

Historians have spent decades meticulously proving the straight line between slavery and modern capitalism’s concept of the laborer—or we could just let them say it.

‪@fetchstep.bsky.social‬:

The camp is to filter out workers for Trumps new Slavery policy where he sells them to businesses.
He says so in this vid
Make Americans Slaves Again

@selzero or, when you surround them with ice. (Sorry, Too soon?)

Well here's what I'm thankful for: my mom (87) just spent close to 2 days in the ER in a room by herself battling a severe anemia problem which they had to pinpoint the cause of... lots of exams etc... she gets out today with a Rx with a new and improved med protocol, another Rx to have more exams done.

Cost = $0.

Future exams $0

(Universal HC what a concept!)
