    it is faster, but also has higher mental load, and more more likely you;ll shoot yourself in the foot. if you accidentally delete something via bad command, its gone. In file manager, you an recover file from the bin.

    no. 1 starts with “open file manager”, while its commandline counterpart does not start with “open terminal”

    no. 2 is a strawman, you can just select all files, and rename it. the file manager will append the number.

    no. 4 is a dedicated utility that allows you to graphically view and drill down the folders. Example is based off “file manager”…

    I used to use Dropbox for this, and it works, it’s automatic, so you’ll have the latest copy without manually pulling changes.

    However, for any non-throwaway code i use git now. It gives me granular edit history via commits, branches for experimental changes, and i can push it to github where i can run tests and deployments for free. However if you’re using git, you still need to run commit, push, pull commands but if you use an IDE or even a modern editor, it’ll have hot keys for it already.

    Also there are files you’re not supposed to commit, like binaries and 3rd party dependencies so you may need to setup a virtualenv and run pip install on each machine independently.

    Could be understood as “take these words, and write them out in alphabetical order”. It’s not specifically stated whether letters inside those words should also be sorted or not.

    We take it for granted that we have so much experience communicating, we can infer the meaning without full instruction, but children are still acquiring this knowledge and sometimes take things literally with hilarious results.
