  • Me too. The multi-line select and edit feature has been a godsend so frequently. I use NP++ plenty too but I find Sublime far more useful out of the box and especially when I’m bouncing between Linux, macOS, Windows; it’s nice to have a consistent text editor across all platforms.

    However I also use micro a lot if I’m just using the shell. It’s like Sublime but in the terminal and not proprietary too! Perfect for when you’re SSHing into servers and don’t want nano or vi. Best part, micro is a static binary so you can curl/wget it and spin it up straight away.

    Weird statement since Apple support their devices for 7 years after launch.

    1 year is worse than basically every major mobile device manufacturer, even ASUS where they give you two years then the device will never get updates again.

    This is get one year then pay a subscription and maybe they’ll keep doing updates. I couldn’t find a commitment on their site.








  • Chess is mostly a memorisation game for gambits / openers and subsequent sets of follow-on moves.

    After that, it’s mentally simulating the board state a few moves ahead, varying pieces and guesstimating probability of what move the opponent will make. A lot of that you start to memorise, especially since other chess enthusiasts will often play well-known gambits / strategies.

    Intelligence often correlates with memory but they’re not one and the same. I grew up knowing a competitive chess player and remember the time they referred to their “hambag” (handbag). English was their mother tongue…
