WUHUUU 🥳 Awesome news! @phpstorm turns into a text editor! With their new light edit mode, it behaves like a regular editor.
Type pstorm <file> in your terminal and it just opens the file without a project or anything else. A simple text editor!

BREAKING: UK leaves European Union. It’s finally over*.

Zac Goldsmith, what a story. Son of humble billionaire, at 23 made editor of a magazine (owned by his uncle), gets Tory nom for leafy London seat at 32, loses the seat twice in 3 years, (also losing London mayoral race). Elevated to the House of Lords. Truly, the British dream.
This whole thread… 😭 https://twitter.com/garius/status/1204795961731629058 …
Let’s put this Tory ‘landslide’ into perspective:
66.4m - adults and children in the UK
55m - adults have the right to vote.
47.5m - were registered to vote
31.9m - actually voted
17.9 - didn’t vote for Boris
13.9m - voted for Boris.
Only 1 in 5 Britons voted for Boris
I’m going to get through Monday by just looking at this every half an hour.
I suggest you do the same.

If you think divs are cool, get a load of some other HTML elements out there:
- links, for navigating the web!
- buttons, for same-page actions!
- headings, for breaking up content!
Semantic HTML: It’s free, it’s fun, and it’s easy!
