> so the editors can add recommendations, version control I assume this means the internal versioning features that Word offers, and not something like Git. I sympathize, I imagine the editing process was rough.

I write literate technical docs[0] with Emacs' Org-mode, a plaintext markup language that works well with Git, and exports nicely to LaTeX/PDF to create stunning documents with tables of contents, footnotes, page numbers, headers,

I think it has to do with the default value of max_connections in MySQL being somewhat low, I think it's like 150 or something.

This is one area where Emacs' Org mode really shines. The tables look good even in the terminal, and the editing experience is excellent.

I totally agree. I initially had a fair amount of goodwill towards 1Password, but their application has become worse and worse as they have turned the monetization screws. Meanwhile a number of highly upvoted feature requests have simply la

What is meant by internal comms in this instance? Stripe had probably the most vibrant Slack environment of any place I've ever worked. It'd be very strange indeed if somehow people stopped communicating that way.

It doesn't actually require a config. You can set the binding on the command-line when you launch it. Anything you can represent in a config file with Tmux (set -g prefix C-o) can be expressed on the command-line. Furthermore, in my op

Indeed. I was trying to humorously reference the author's staunch refusal to remove `xterm` from the TERM identifier, knowing full well that many programs simply look for `^xterm` when determining if the terminal is compatible. As you

Tmux provides a means multiplexing a single terminal window into multiple terminals, either full screen, or like a tiling window manager. It lets you organize and label these terminals and provides a very flexible keyboard interface to term

xterm supports sixel, so surely if your TERM is xterm-kitty, it's supported right?

In case you're like me, and you wouldn't think of using a terminal without Tmux, the experimental sixel branch was finally merged[0] as of about 10 months ago. This means you can finally build mainstream Tmux with --enable-sixel a

Ignoring size, you can often distinguish between Corvus corax (common raven) and Covus brachyrhynchos (American crow) by the tail feathers; ravens tails in flight have a wider angled cone shape, crows tails have a narrower fan shape. Cr

Apologies for my rudeness, I'm afraid I let a pet peeve get the better of me. I often read health and wellness content on Reddit. There you'll find highly ranked comments expressing opinions such as "you should never eat belo

Put a morbidly obese person on a treadmill for a solid hour, and they'll likely spend a fair amount of time in zone 4-5. Walking is excellent exercise for some, not so great for others. Generalizing here is pointless.

This is like asking why people choose Coke over Pepsi; they're both satisfying and sweet fizzy beverages, and they both can hurt you the more you're exposed to them. Much of people's preferences for one or the other can be wr

You may be thinking of Hackpad from 2014, which later was bought by Dropbox and morphed into Dropbox Paper. I guess I was thinking that a multiuser IDE is substantially different than a multiuser text editor. I did notice that Zed is by the

Excluding multi-column keys and joins, I'd describe a column as a foreign key in the context of a given query; i.e. when that query references a unique column in a JOIN condition on a related table. This differs from an explicit declar

From what I understand Zed is a text editor that is built like a game engine, which I understand is why the marketing copy uses the term "multiplayer" rather than "multiuser". I didn't find other mention of its mult

Not the GP, but imagine it has to do with "Newspeak" using the prefixes "plus" and "doubleplus" for emphasis. Nonplussed may have had a similar ring to "plusungood".
