Cyclone was definitely there. Sadly no longer maintained, and not at all practical to get working on modern systems (I did some work on it, then gave up).
> In Vim I'd press `j` to get to the first entry, then `A,<esc>` to append the `,` after the first one, then `j.` to move down and repeat the action. I then press `j.` a bunch more times (which is really easy to do rapidly with your index and ring finger on Qwerty) and in 2 seconds I'm done. Vim's `.` to repeat the last action is really powerful and can save you a ton of time for small ad-hoc edit repetitions that don't warrant doing a full macro with `q`.
Eh. I'd probably do 'qqA,<esc>j0q', and then '8@q'.
That's also probably not the best example, since that's also trivial if you have an editor supporting multiple cursors.
> Let me tell you a secret: Big Mailer Corps are not worried about you but are worried about big senders harassing their users. They do not care about your personal server sending a few mails, even if its in the thousands per months. What they care about is the infected computers or compromised servers flooding their users. What they care about are the marketing companies that are literally shitting over them, sending individually millions of commercial mails per day, trying to work-around spam filters, and that sometimes manage to go for a while without being rejected. Unless you are sending hundreds of thousands of mails to them on a daily basis, quite frankly and without trying to hurt your feelings, you fall waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay below the radars.
This is absolutely not true. A server I had mailed out daily run outputs to local users, and was also configured to send an email to one of the users' gmail accounts. I also used that server for personal email, but eventually had to stop because the daily run outputs got us blocked by gmail.
50%, rather, is the worst case scenario. 30% is a bad case scenario, and 5% best-case scenario. Which is still a lot for large cloud providers like amazon, google, microsoft.
