I recently made some changes to a website generated by a non-technical user using Dreamweaver. The initial state was quite poor, with inline CSS and what appeared to be haphazard copy-pasting within a WYSIWYG editor. Although I’m not profic

Quite simply, I may have to login into a server on a high pressure time sensitive environment, think downtime. I want to maintain my vim skills at a level that allow me to focus on the issue. It's also why I use bash and GNU coreutils

Is this the reason they have switched to Pentalobe screw. I have googled for material but couldn't find anything. Pentalobe screws are not that hard to find and considering the popularity of Apple devices, they will get easier to find.

> simplify other people's hard work I don't mean to pull the argument one way or another one. But, IMO simplifying other people's hard work is hard work too. At least I personally find it to be. Depending on our experience
