I have had trees grow back from being cut down to their roots, to a flat stump on the ground. New shoots can come up around the perimeter of the stump.

Most of the mass of a tree is dead anyway, like our hair or fingernails or outer skin layers. The living part of the tree is like a skin on the outside of a massive, dead wooden structure, with another layer of dead tissue (bark) protecting it.

Vi lets me jump to the place I need to be and make edits to a config file very sticky, simply, and efficiently. But all that came at the cost of the steep learning curve.

When we developed culture, it began the uncoupling of our abilities from the capacity of our brains. All other problems stem from this!

Not only that, but PC cafes thrive in places where people could afford a PC but don’t have any room for it because they live in a tiny apartment. This is also very common in Asia.

You can’t do all of it. HyperCard wasn’t just a system for making pages of content connected with links, it was also a full programming language and it had a built in database. This made it easy to do things like build a recipe app that you could add more recipes to without having to build actual cards for each recipe.

Doing this on a website would involve using a database like MySQL and writing some kind of application server. It could not be done with just plain HTML.
