Orbital reentry from 17000mph looks like dropping out of hyperspace [video]
most emoji are banned, as are nonstandard space symbols like thin space and some other things. emoticons (things like :-) and XD) are allowed. generally alphabetic characters and digits are allowed, and some other things, but i think unknown unicode is forbidden by default. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23440551 has some investigation and results which are probably still accurate
i do most of my algebraic formulas with the compose key and a custom compose map mostly written by mark shoulson https://github.com/kragen/xcompose
for the above i pasted part of the old permic table from wikipedia
>>> s = '''πβ πβ πβ πβ πβ πβ πβ πβ πβ πβ πβ πβ πβ πβ πβ πβ

Ialthel translations
Also, since the default Compose file doesn't quite satisfy, see https://github.com/kragen/xcompose; they have defined a bunch of key sequences, which I use (with some extensions of my ownβββfor example, I wanted a quick way to type aΜ, and this wasn't built into the default sequences, since it uses a combining character).

My setup for conlanging. Vim, XeLaTex and Zathura. What do you guys use?
Well, I wasn't aware of this shortcutβββthat being said, it doesn't matter, because I'm on Linux and use the Compose key anyway (essentially, I type Left Alt and then a key sequence); and I've installed the extensions found at https://github.com/kragen/xcompose, which supplies many more combinations which the default XCompose doesn't contain.

Moving the Ctrl Key
Another possible solution is to define a compose key (I use SysRq) to type characters not on the keyboard, such that (for example) the three-key sequence "SysRq . Z" is Ε».
Here's the XCompose file I use:

The power of Wincompose, or how I learnt to love typing IPA
For linux users there is the compose key which also allows for custom sequences.

using `imap` to replace three periods with ellipsis digraph
Use .XCompose and enable ralt-dot-dot and a million (okay, not a million. 1066 in mine) unicode characters everywhere.

Easy Entry of Math Symbols (Global Keybindings)

A while ago I posted my Idea for a math keyboard. I got a ton of helpful advice so I am posting version two. Thanks so much please let me know what you guys think.
Have you ever heard of compose? That's also very helpful. If you use linux, take a look at https://wiki.portal.chalmers.se/agda/pmwiki.php?n=Main.XCompose and https://github.com/kragen/xcompose .

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.

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 β 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 β 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]
