That too, but it seems like this was them attempting to back up their files. They just critically failed.

Both. I hate when people present two separate issues as if it takes the ability for the other to be wrong. It's a false dichotomy.

(VS)Code(ium) is great. (VSCode is MS fork of the OSS Codium.) It's a popular editor with a lot of plugin for just about every language. It has an integrated console. It can do basic Version control (and you can use the console for anything more). It's my favorite editor/IDE (not technically and IDE, at least out of the box). Just don't do things you don't understand. It's that simple. The OP fucked around, and they found out what it does the hard way. It's really easy to use if you have a basic understanding of things though.

They could have a warning though. I agree with you, but there are some easy ways to prevent this from happening. It just takes time to implement, and would be required in other places too. Is it worth the dev time? I doubt it.

This is a disease of GUIs. Most people are so used to having their hands held and being unable to make a mistake that when a GUI actually gives you the power to fuck up they don't expect it. I promise you, if this user was using the CLI, this wouldn't have happened as easily.

Personally, I'm pretty good with the CLI version, but sometimes I just use the Code VC interface. For some tasks (basic commit, pull, push) it's pretty fast. I don't know if it's faster than CLI, but I switch between them depending on what I'm doing at that moment. Code has a built in console, so using either is pretty seemless and easy. If you only use the GUI you won't ever understand it though. I think everyone should start with CLI.

Honestly, this is true for almost everything. GUIs obfiscate. They don't help you learn, but try to take control away so you can't mess up, and as an effect can't do everything you may want.

Pedantic, but most fossil fuels are from plant matter.

Most applications don't have the same requirements as in a car though. A car battery has to be portable, as light as possible, survive frequent charging and discharging, charge relatively quickly, handle significant weather differences, be resistant to catching on fire, and I'm sure I'm missing some factors. Most other uses only need a subset of these, and also the scale is not as large as it would be if we electrified every car. (Ideally we move away from cars in general, but we should work on both of these.)

The only place I've experienced this in the US is Red Rocks Amphitheatre. Some of their restrooms are exactly like you describe. Full height stalls (small rooms basically) with a shared sink area. Literally no one I saw has had an issue with it. You just go, wait in line with everyone else, and take a stall when your turn comes. No issue and no confusion. There is no reason this can't be the norm in the US.

If you believe in homeopathy, after it's diluted it's even stronger pee.

Can you release them please?

Wasn't the Charleston one of the first dances in Fortnite? I've never played it, but I could have sworn I saw stuff about it being in the game a long time ago.
