Why the Grief with GitHub?

Things change fast. There was a time I was using personal access tokens.. Now, they want you to use SSH tokens. You follow the guide and it doesn't work - you're still prompted for username and password and then told fatal, authentication failed - AFTER you'd created and added the SSH token. Why? Because you started off on the wrong foot. Assuming, like me, you wanted to make a local folder available to the world and created a new repo on GitHub and then tried to push it following the helpful notes on the very first page after you create, you used the HTTPS notes - so the URL is https rather than git@github.com:USERNAME/REPO.git :) Look closely and you'll see a toggle option to switch to SSH and get the notes for that 😊 Dashboard camera style recording with LICEcap

When Duke U Hides Files

brca1line.fa is your target, but, try finding that starting with https://www.dukelearntoprogram.com//course2/index.php 😊 That's right, you get to  https://www.dukelearntoprogram.com//course2/files.php which doesn't have it. Fortunately, Google tells you to go to:  https://www.dukelearntoprogram.com//course2/files new .php which DOES have it. Thank you Duke University 😊

I'm Not the First (Hurt by Chrome's Submissiveness to W3Schools and Geeksforgeeks ads)

Chrome taking seconds to respond to typing in a Jupyter notebook! Why? No clue. I fire up Task Manager and it shows 50 processes and 1.8 GB. Why? I google, says Chrome starts three processes per tab. I start closing tabs (I have about 9 open). When I close the blank "New Tab", I go from 50 to 48. When I close the W3Schools "Java string indexof()" tab, I go to about 24 (from 44) and the Memory goes from 1.8 GB to about 950 MB. So?... https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=505044 Yes, Geeksforgeeks is also a pretty nasty site. What's one to do? Use Edge?
