One thing most text editors can do is print. I was shocked the other day when I couldn't print a readme from vscode when someone asked for hard copy.

This is why I fear activating any AI features in the IDE.
Compiler/interpreter: Can't find variable farfignewton.
Earlier:
Me: Declare variables near, far
IDE: Oh! You mean farfignewton right? I found that in some completely unrelated library you didn't write. Allow me complete that for you while you're not paying attention.
I had a few comedy albums. Some of them like Monty Python had a mix of music and skits. I wasn't super into audiobooks. Probably the longest thing I ever listened to was The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy in its (original?) BBC Radio rendition.
Oh yeah, that is the best! They have one at the conservation area near me. You go there around March and slap on some cross-country skis to get to the shack. Then just as the cold is starting to set in a bit, you walk in there where they're boiling the sap and take in the aroma. Then you sit down at a long table and gorge yourself on pancakes with the syrup still hot and mixing with the butter. And then on the way back, if you have any bird seed in your pocket, you can just hold it out and chickadees will land on your hand. It's magical!
You have to understand that religion was banned by the communist regime of the day. Admitting to it could get you locked up.
But my dad, as a tourist making this casual observation about flagrant rule-breaking going on in plain sight even as he spoke, broke the tension completely and made the locals admit there is a lot of rule-breaking going on everywhere.
Yeah that was my read of it. I remember actually seeing people hopping onto the train even as it was starting to move out. It took those locomotives a long time to build up any significant speed, so I don't think anyone was freaking out about getting cut in half or anything.
Never lived in the USSR but travelled through the country on the Trans-Siberian Railway with my dad years ago when just a kid. He spoke fluent Russian and struck up conversations with locals wherever we stopped. At one point, they broke out into gales of laughter before we reboarded the train. I asked him what that was all about.
He said he had asked if anyone practiced religion in the USSR? At first, they were reluctant to answer. Who wants to know? Why do you ask? And he said well, I notice there are signs all over the train station that it is forbidden to walk over the tracks. Yet I see people going so far as to crawl under one train to reach another. After a moment of awkward silence, that's when the laughter broke out. "Ah shit man, you got us. Religion is alive and well here!"
This was a struggle for me going from hobbyist programmer to working at a company. I tried to tone it down. Really. But eventually I got "promoted" to having my own office with a suspiciously thick door. Hmm…
True story. I was looking for an answer to an obscure problem and found it in a 10-year-old stackoverflow post. Then I looked more closely at the author…
Hey! Me from 10 years ago, stop being such a smart ass! It's obnoxious.
Some good suggestions here. But if you've been battling this for ages, it might be time for a sleep study? You may need a referral from your family doctor for this, but it's generally not hard to get, and the sleep lab will be able to tell you if you have any bio-mechanical issues like sleep apnea, restless leg syndrome, etc. There are all sorts of things that can mess up sleeping. Also, it's a rapidly evolving field of medicine, so even if you had one done years ago, it might be worth a revisit?
Do you mean in the sense of say missing a concert because you got sick? Or is it something more contorted like feeling sympathy for someone and then regretting it?
