jj looks very interesting and the hipster in me wants to adopt it, but my muscle memory is wired to Magit, I am not even an Emacs user, but I reach to it just for doing git stuff. So far none of the frontends for jj comes close.

If you are using vim in the terminal pressing alt send an escape sequence when followed by another key press. So to go out of insert mode I usually press alt+ one of h/j/k/l

I wish the author had spent more time explaining what's better about SWM compared to TWM.

The only thing he said:

> It was the best of both worlds—easy to navigate, while remaining mousable.

Is not really convincing as Cosmic desktop for example is tiling while remaining mousable.

I have been vaguely aware of PaperWM and Niri but never saw the appeal productivity-wise.

> For Vim users, I also suggest enabling Vim mode in Zsh. It makes editing commands much faster.

I am also an avid Vim user but I disagree. The default readline is perfectly fine for single line commands (you do have to know your way around some basic commands though C-a/u/k/l/w...). To edit long commands in $EDITOR you can always do C-x C-e in bash/zsh (M-v in Fish). As a matter of fact everytime I pair program with my colleague I always think he is editing those short commands slower than I would have because he has to change modes all the time.

Jiratui[0] has some support for basic automation. That's probably what OP is using as it is the most poppular Jira cli tool out there.

It mostly depends on your needs, the Note Air series is good if you are on the go while the bigger models like the Note Air Max are fit for a more stationary use.

> It also has a full Android system, which comes with advantages for sure but invites distractions and leads to very disappointing battery life.

While some models have a disappointing battery life, it's most definitely because of BSR[0] not because of them running Android. I had a Note Air 3 and that thing got easily 2 weeks of battery life with heavy use while the BSR version (Note Air 3C) barely survived 2 days.

OP mentioned he took over an existing project. He would then have to track all the people who contributed in order to be able to relicense to AGPL. Even then, Anthropic would probably then write their own.

Nice write-up.

> Screen offers a multi-user mode which allows to attach to Screen sessions owned by other users in the system (given the proper credentials). These multi-user features are only available when Screen is installed with the setuid-root bit set. This configuration of Screen results in highly increased attack surface, because of the complex Screen code that runs with root privileges in this case

I wasn't aware of such a feature but I guess it's what makes stuff like tmate possible. Speaking of which, I wonder if tmux is affected by the same kind of vulnerability.

> In windows, I can just shut the lid and not worry about it, because it will sleep first, and eventually hibernate. Ubuntu would just sleep until the battery dies.

It's really funny because this is one of the things I absolutely do not like about Windows. I absolutely hate it that I put the computer to sleep and when I come back the next day it has hibernated. That said, I agree that hibernation has always been finicky on Linux, however, I would say Ubuntu is not the best distro for this use case. I have been using Fedora and they even publish official guides for it[0] that's how seriously they take it.
