If concentration of control over concentration scares you then a social media not owned by the US should be welcome. Now you have an all-american echo chamber.

I prefer the Firefox solution. Chrome "solved" this by running the outdated version untill restart. But if you click a link outside of chrome it opens in a new instance of the updated version, without your old tabs. If you at this point close all chrome windows then you've lost all the tabs on the outdated instance.

A 3d spider could easily be invisible to the 2d guy, by simply staying clear of his viewing plane. Hence why the "approaching perpendicular to his plane of existence" YouTube comment is actually terrifying.

Many editors support the rmate protocol, enabling you to open a remote file from a ssh session in your local editor.

You could implement your design in nmigen [1], use it to generate either verilog or rtlil, then use yosys (via [2]) to reduce it to an AND and NOT circuit (using the 'aigmap' command), then visualize it with [3]

Re:Remote-CLI: execute tasks on remote hosts while working locally

This has for me been a godsend after corona hit. The ".remoteenv" file is for me the killer feature. Being able to bundle remote-cli in my python-poetry dev environment makes the setup trivial as well.
For those interested, here is my ".remoteenv" file to setup poetry using conda: https://gist.github.com/pbsds/fe243e518717531b10b2782add5192...

I agree on the monkeypatching of pathlib. It makes it difficult for a reader to look up what the functions do.
Providing a different module, like `import nPathlib as Pathlib` would be a lot more discoverable.

Worth mentioning is NimScript, a subset of nim which can be interpreted, and embedded like lua: https://nim-lang.org/docs/nims.html
If for some reason the nim compiler starts becoming slow, then this could also drastically speed up development

Re:Micro: Modern and intuitive terminal-based text editor
on Thursday May 28, 2020 @08:23AM (#23336400)
I have a love-hate relationship with `micro`:
When it works i love it. I have used it as my go-to editor for at least the last 2 years for quick edits and remote development. It is distributed as a static binary you can put in your `~/.local/bin`, making it is easy to install on systems you don't have admin access to. It has decent syntax-highlighting, lots of themes, easy to configure and has a very gentle learning curve. I'd say micro is a better alternative to nano for beginner, with the exception that nano works better in more limited terminals like putty and cmd.
However, at times it simply stops being able to access the X clipboard. It doesn't support code folding. And after longer sessions it seems to run out of space on the LUA stack. (Some lua calls don't properly clear the stack when done it seems, though I haven't seen this yet on v2.0). I bring with me my keybindings everywhere, since they seem to have swapped around CTRL and ALT for word navigation and for moving lines of text, (This decision might be due to limitations in some terminal emulators). There is also a history of inactivity of the main author, leaving many PRs ignored for long stretches of time. Some are over a year old and has seen no feedback from the main author.
