Not sure what you mean by "opening a repo on a remote server", but if you mean mounting a remote file system, this isn't really a sublime-specific feature. Use SSHFS (or other) and then just open the folder in Sublime and have at it.

If you mean interacting with git directly with Sublime, there's a number of plugins https://packagecontrol.io/packages/GitSavvy. But this does like any normal workflow does -- it creates a local repo and uses standard git commands to sync (push/pull).

Saved terminal state. Multiple tabs. Can log off and come back and everything’s there. tmux and mosh are game changers, especially while tethering/roaming and switching networks.

Mourn the loss and take your time building yourself up, there’s no timeline.
Fascinating -- What about the SmackMBU breakdown made you lose all respect? Love that Rage sample they used in that track -- iconic! Sampling/Curating/Slicing is an art in itself.

I feel like the OP's project is more aptly named than the EPub editor of the same name.

Re:Ask HN: Shall I buy an 'ultrabook' or a MB Air? on Saturday January 28, 2012 @06:49AM (#3521880)
Keep in mind that the screen illuminates the keyboard in the dark, so a backlit keyboard may be more for aesthetics than functionality. I never use it on my MBA.

Something I don't like about the MacBook Air (13"): Dedicated audio in/out -- there's a "hybrid" jack which annoys me. I thought lack of firewire would be limiting for older drives and external interfaces, but I don't miss it. I do run Windows when I need it for (minor) updates to files in solid modeling programs such as SolidWorks and animation such as Maya while traveling with a VM. Works great.

Re:Ask HN: professional gmail alternatives on Friday January 13, 2012 @03:27AM (#3459705)
To my knowledge, gmail always includes is own headers when sending mail, so it doesn't appear to be from your server, rather, it's from your domain VIA gmail.

Is there's a way around this and use gmail as a local pop-client?
