FreeBSD spends 7% of its boot time running a bubblesort on its SYSINITs
Did a bit of digging and found that there used to be a comment for why it was done, but it got removed [0] when they switched to the implementation from Bentley & McIlroy's "engineering a sort function" [1] around 1992.

Vim 9.0 Was Released
shiftwidth has been in vi for a very long time. It's been in my .exrc since I got into BSD in the 1990s, and judging by the earliest commit that's available online[0] it was added even before 1980.

Multi-cursor code editing: An animated introduction
Nice post. Obligatory Helix plug: For anyone interested in taking this further, there are whole editors designed around multi-cursor editing.

:syntax off (2016)
I could never turn it off completely but I do sometimes use the Acme theme during the day (it's too bright in the evening), which highlights just comments, strings, and errors.

Lapce
You can use a snippet LSP to work around Helix not having a built-in LSP manager. They're listed in https://github.com/helix-editor/helix/issues/395

Memray – A Memory Profiler for Python
I'm probably not the average python programmer.
But I normally just create two terminals (I have a tiling window manager) and in one I open a python file under /tmp/ write my code and execute it in the other terminal.
I would probably use a REPL if it was integrated in my favorite editor ( https://helix-editor.com ).

Neovide – a simple, no-nonsense, cross-platform GUI for Neovim
Wow, that's been there a while: https://github.com/helix-editor/helix/commit/35c974c9c49f912...
Wonder how I missed that. I'm getting a re-education in helix today -- thank you! I'll go through `hx --tutor` again before I insert any more feet in my mouth.

Zed is now open source
Interesting to see how they are gonna approach integrating plugins/extensions system, because this is likely gonna be one of the major factors affecting adoption and ecosystem growth.
Helix devs, for instance, lean towards a Scheme-like implementation. [1]
