Long covid often includes easily quantifiable issues such as lung and heart issues.

I didn't downvote, but what does this have to do with what I wrote?

This attitude toward stay-at-home moms is not generally found among the poor, just among middle class and up women (and men), typically left-leaning. Most poor mothers I've know wo…

Most modern GUI IDEs are well integrated with the command line.

Since we're on hn, I'm talking devs. But anyone can benefit from command line. I've taught some data science people who are very happy now.
