I've tried everything from Notepad++ (and plugins), Sublime (and plugins), MacVim (and plugins), Atom, VS Code, to other heavyweight IDEs...

I'm not a lucky person, avoid games of luck, but consider one of my few lucky moments being grandfathered into Jetbrains's sub model at a steep discount.

The 2x2 is the Gold Standard of Pain: ubiquitous, plentiful, and no matter where it connects, it's knee-buckling (vs. say the 2x3s, which I find can be tolerable if it runs lengthwise along the outside lane of your foot.. you can kinda roll with it).

The 2x2 is the bedbug of toys: perfectly engineered for torment.

The learning of a skill or trade -- your skip to the exercises bit -- yes, teach a man to fish, etc. But to stare at, e.g., a polynomial for the first time ever in the exercises and be asked to "factor" it ... well, maybe your Gauss, but for others, it means going back in the chapter to read the axioms, lemma, the laws, examples -- that knowledge you apply to your own understanding, allowing you to learn.

Most people didn't fly to Juneau, on a strong hunch, buy a spray paint can, graffiti a local bridge with "This is the capital of Alaska" just so they confirmed or finally learned, by being arrested for vandalism that, in fact, Juneau is the capital of Alaska. We learn this fact from, e.g., reading about it.

Not all knowledge was derived through some form of the Scientific Method. To equally play provocative, I will posit, with no linked papers, most of what we know, to a person, is not from doing, but from some form of passive communication.

On a related note, Beldin here just contributed a new entry into cryptopals: the Gatekeeper hash, but only certain people can see the link.

There's a market. Fans will buy. Money is good. Some would say the repackaging is worth it. From an originality-perspective, others wouldn't -- still, more, considering its "timely" release.

If you are in that second camp, this is the very definition of a cash-grab.

Speaking of technical merits slipping a Mickey to a parched audience, see: The Mandalorian.

Who's "the victim" here that should not be blamed?

Or, negligence from the driver, as the OP mentioned.

Or, both.

This comparison does not seem tenable.

It aggregates popular library/language/framework API documentation on the left side, of which you can install or disable ... libraries like Lodash, Moment, Node, Express, Mocha, etc. IIRC, even JavaScript.

The app would install the documentation and you could omni-search, say, 'sort,' and the main right-side pane would collect the results.

The last I used it, years ago, it also auto-updated the documentation of each library/framework with every new library/framework release.

My web searches are in vain. Please help.
