Very much so. As a student, I have found that it is much easier to focus on my large personal projects in between terms, when I don't have homework and/or lectures every day to interrupt my coding sessions[1]. Edit: As for what I

I'm afraid that I don't understand the difference...

So the processor computation rate increases/decreases as voltage does? This could have interesting applications, such as a treadmill that allows you to compute (run games? watch videos?) more the faster you run, or a phone that gradual

It is also possible that the United States' security agencies are simply better than the vast majority of us are aware of. Or some combination of both.

Well, the idea is that you're supposed to stay in search mode as long as possible, thereby avoiding the need to go into normal mode and select files mc-style. If you do that, then Lightning should be more efficient than tabtabbing beca

That's OK, this tool isn't for everyone :) Lightning was built because I was tired of both the "cd x; ls; cd x; ls; cd x" and "cd x<tab>x<tab>/xx<tab>x<tab>" patterns and wanted som

"Search mode" is the default because, 80% of the time, you're right, it is faster to just type a few characters. However, in about another 10% of cases (in my experience, and up until this point I've been the sole user

Hey! That's a clever idea - and it would probably be very easy to implement, too. I'll put it in TODO, but if you wish, you can always add the feature and merge it yourself - the (Python) codebase shouldn't be very difficult

I was under the impression that Racket was closer to Common Lisp (with all of its practicality and rough edges) than the elegant Scheme...

I agree that we need a better system, one that does better at either rehabilitation or deterrence through punishment, as our current system is bad at both. However, we can't let these types of offenses continue. Altercations in priso
