This is a classic example of the xy problem https://xyproblem.info/, where the author is asking for advice on his solution (how to study react on a vacation without internet), when for the vast majority of circumstances the best advice for the author would be to not waste his vacation studying React.

You don't seem to understand what a conditional is.

_Given_ that I want to study React in the woods, how should I do it?

Whether or not to study React in the woods is completely irrelevant.

Thats all fine and dandy for a site like StackOverflow, but we’re on HN here - there’s neither an obligation for commenters to write the comments you want to read, nor a guarantee your question will be understood the way you like.

Ad hominems are against TOS.

Answering the question is irrelevant if it’s the wrong question to begin with. And for the wrong circumstances (ie if this is a family vacation) can be counter-productive. It’s far more productive to zoom out, ask why the author is asking for advice to study react on vacation, and address that instead. Consider this as you advance your career past recent college grad / swe1 :)

I'm sorry but I find your position and expressed attitudes to be patronizing. They are words I would expect from someone who's assumption is that they know better than the other people they talk to in life.

I've no idea what you meant by your reference to college grad / swe1 but it certainly didn't lessen the above-described impression.
