The trolling is uninteresting except maybe the Wu Tang thing.

I'm only after pure Excel-fu here. It is actually weird for me that people use it to analyze stocks instead of Python but I probably don't know what I'm missing.

Edit: The first few minutes seem neat, I'm biting the bullet

It keeps popping up as he is apparently quick and knows the ins and outs. But I've never bothered to go through it as it is seven years old at this point and focused on finance.

Can anybody recommend something similar but up to date with the new goodies so a fella could be competitive at this? I'm talking more keyboard shortcuts and advanced features (many of them overlap). The latest versions of Excel sort of open it up anew.

Gumbo does not disclose anything about what group with special privileges you're supposed to be a part of and that's the entire point - I don't want to know. I don't care if you're black, white, or purple. Don't care about your gender, sexuality or personal life either. Never did, never will.

Which is precisely why bringing up minorities when you are just an anonymous jumble of letters and the attempted guilt trip is a bunch of insufferable manipulative hooey. It is not a "fair question" by any stretch of the imagination, you know nothing about me other than I don't subscribe to your garbage worldview.

You already exposed yourself as an insufferable bully with this: "The only people I’ve talked to who oppose DEI efforts were either blatantly sexist/racist"

Nice try. You go place burdens and play these games with people who have patience to put up with your nonsense. Strain as hard as you will to be offended and oppressed, no such luck bud, and absolutely nobody called you any names either.

I don't need you to be upset, your emotional state does not concern me one iota.

Talk about a lack of self control. You are extremely out of line.

You obviously will disrupt every workplace and gathering with tantrums and false accusations whenever you don't get your way. Tough cookies, you ain't getting your way with me no matter what.

"If you don't agree with me you are a bad person" is the most childish kindergarten bullshit imaginable. Take a look in the mirror, enough woke sharia. Enough.

They try to grab a toehold by appearing more popular than they actually are.

I'll just remind you about one of the features: You heard of Memojis, now you have Genmoji!

Generating a squirrel on a jetski emoji on the fly will save you loads of time and make your life better. There aren't enough stickers in your chat app.

Pick from three googley eyed cartoon styles to show off your unique personalities and creativity.

They all look like Pixar and smarmy Dreamworks face nightmare fuel memes from over a decade ago (https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/DreamWorksFace).

This was an actual part of the demo. I'm not being factitious.

I support you 100%. Could you, erm, point me towards this indy web?

Definitely nobody uses that, true. And we aren't going to make you when you decide to switch over, it isn't like a prerequisite to use the editor.

Nor is some weird shitty lisp from the 80s. There was an abomination called Vimscript until Neovim decided to murder it. Praise be.

It is now scriptable with Lua, Python, Ruby, JS if you're a satanist (who am I kidding, you probably are), whatever you want.

So honestly you're running out of excuses at this point. ;)

P.S. - Since a vim-mode will always only support the subset of Vim the authors care about it is rather pointless. Also, Neovim has a robust ecosystem of plugins this Zed thing is leaving behind. There is no escape no matter how hard novelty editors will try to fix what isn't broken.

We can even get a little more meta and observe how this type of essay itself goes through the very same process and you end up with:

It always happens, without fail, for every genre and subculture. We can only embrace the ephemeral.

Only one I can think of is The Well. I don't see how you could ever recreate it.

It isn't as bad as the literal dumpster fire 70s era either, sure, but good grief what a delusional take. Come visit.

Forget it, Jake. It's Chinatown.

You can't keep sales people a.k.a phonies away it will always happen. Every underground subculture gets appropriated as soon as even one of these people shows up.

For example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_the_punk_subculture

Imagine you run into Patti Smith and her friends in the 70s, if you're lame you won't be staying long. In fact you might get punched in the face. There is proper gatekeeping.

Once the scene grows even a little there's money to be made. A different sort shows up who understands the culture and likes the music OK but don't truly give a fuck it is about selling t-shirts and bootlegs for them. And/Or getting laid.

They'll start promoting it to grow it bigger and make more money. That's when the real sharks show up and the original members start leaving. Later still normies shop your style at the mall with no idea what any of it means or where it came from.

Sadly, can't punch people in the face over the internet. Even worse everything is all about forced inclusivity now.

This ain't a technological problem.

I'll do you one better, I'd pay good money to avoid these people. They aren't any more physically attractive then any other cohort of women (not to be mean but some of them look like Lena Dunham) and are a nightmare to be around.
