vimtutor is the starting point for learning vim, but it's fairly surface-level. To actually learn vim, you should read through the user manual by typing :help usr_01 and hitting enter in vim. It's also accessible online here: https://vimhelp.org/usr_01.txt.html#usr_01.txt.

It's a fairly quick read, about 40ish pages that are reasonably short and is intended to be read straight through like a book. It provides a good overview of all of vim's features.

Note: this is distinct from the reference manual, which is much, much larger and isn't intended to be read straight through.

    Yes, it is unfortunate that this functionality is not built-in to HTML/browsers to begin with. The library is effectively a patch for the deficiencies of the original spec. Hopefully it can one day be integrated into HTML proper.

    Until then, HTMX can still be used by browsers that block third party scripts, which is where a lot of the nasty stuff comes from anyway. And JS can be whitelisted on certain sites that are known to use it responsibly.

    I mean, that's really not true. Just look at the various male fashion advice communities, streetwear culture, etc. There's a huge variety in different styles of shirts, outerwear, layering, footwear, accessories, and pants. Hell, even t-shirts and denim have a huge variety in style and quality.

    There's massive cultural pressure for women to be fashionable and wear the "right" clothes, a pressure men by and large don't have to deal with. Companies are one of the primary drivers of this pressure by manipulative marketing practices that that convince many women that they need the latest trends and fashions to be keep up.

    All of it is bullshit meant to keep people spending money, ultimately. Fashion should be a form of personal expression and personality and by no means requires purchasing new clothing all of the time.

    Graphics programming is the most obvious one and it uses it plenty, but really any application that can be modeled as a series of discrete changes will mostly likely be using calculus.

    Time series data is the most common form of this, where derivatives are the rate of change from one time step to the next and integrals are summing the changes across a range of time.

    But it can even be more abstract than that. For example, there's a recent-ish paper on applying signal processing techniques (which use calculus themselves, btw) to databases for the purposes of achieving efficient incremental view maintenance: https://arxiv.org/abs/2203.16684

    The idea is that a database is a sequence of transactions that apply a set of changes to said database. Integrating gets you the current state of the database by applying all of the changes.
