Imo, the killer feature of tmux is that not only does it persist your shell, it persists your workspace. If I ssh into my server, i'm going to find my whole session as i left it, with the same tabbing / panes. This is a need kitty

Exactly. One of my favorite things about working in tmux is that my editor session persists, whatever state my laptop is in. Out of battery? Rebooted after updating the kernel? My workspace stays the same

This is something I saw a talk about a while ago. There are probably more recent papers on this topic, you might want to look browse the citations of this one https://arxiv.org/abs/2003.00307

This is also challengeable: while it is true that in a crash, a bollard will heighten the risks for a motorist, we have to consider that bollards look dangerous to motorists. Thus they tend to drive slower and more carefully around them.

Um, the github link is a 404, and the paper link links to the webpage itself (— the paper is not on arxiv). Probably they put the website on too fast?
