They are. A lot of the new math curriculum my kid took in elementary school was exactly about that. Estimating, quick ways to calculate things, and sort of an underlying grasp of what it all means vs just memorizing multiplication tables or something. So much better than the bullshit way they taught me 40 years ago.
Git is a distributed version control system for software development^1.
Version control allows you to manage code versions and changes to code. You take snapshots, so to speak, of every change you make.
Distributed, in this context, means multiple developers can write code on each of their development computers and merge the changes, usually to a centralized git server.
GitHub runs a web-based git server at GitHub.com so teams can store their code in a central location on the internet.
Ok, technically, even though It’s often used for software source code, it can be used for any set of files and directories.
Orphan-Crushing Machine is a metaphor for “heartwarming” news stories about someone remedying the immediate effects of a sociopolitical issue that ignore the root cause of said issue. The catchphrase and metaphor satirize these stories by comparing them to a story of a person raising money to keep 200 orphans from being crushed where nobody questions why an orphan-crushing machine exists in the first place.
