Not PP, but I used to work for an automotive subcontractor company, and I've heard a few stories about fatal car accidents that lead to lawsuits, which proved that the car design was the reason for the accident, yet the car manufacture

For prose, it probably is the best, but have you tried it for programming? I find that my keyboard usage is dominated by text-editing shortcuts and punctuation characters. Not sure how well stenography would fit in. On a similar note, thoug

Just want to mention sticky keys[1], as it seems often overlooked. Instead of holding the modifier key(s) when activating a shortcut, you can press and release each modifier sequentially. It does come with some of the fancy keyboards'

Emphasis on "also". If you optimize a shell feature for general-purpose programming, interactivity will suffer (increased verboseness, usually), and vice versa. If we try to bring shells closer to the real PLs, instead of just usi

Ah, we are really just one smart kid away from extinction. Something something boson something neutron, and the Earth goes kaboom. Children can be very dangerous.

I don't use the tiling at all. I use the multiple desktops feature a lot, though. Some programs are pinned to a dedicated desktop and run all day. Others I start in (or move to, later) a numbered desktop, and switch to them by changing

Just an idea, if you find yourself unable to warm up to tiling: for_window [all] floating enable It's stupid, but I've been using this for a couple of years now.

They might have falsified the statistics in order to boost people's morale, but they were also very serious about actually progressing. Bulgaria was under USSR's wing when I was a kid, and I have first-hand experience about that.
