  • toggleterm.nvim

    A neovim lua plugin to help easily manage multiple terminal windows

  • Project mention: Neovide – a simple, no-nonsense, cross-platform GUI for Neovim | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-01-31

    As a data point, I'd like to chime in here. I have been a 15 year user of tmux (and screen before that) and never thought I'd change my development habits. Over the holidays I decided I would do one of those once-every-five-years upgrades to my vim setup as I had accrued dozens of vendored plugins in normal vim and wanted to see what the big deal with neovim was.

    I bit the bullet and evaluated some of the "distributions" (AstroNvim and kickstarter) and played around with all the new lua plugins that I had never thought I needed (why use telescope when FZF-vim worked so well?).

    Anyways, after a month of tweaking and absorbing, I found myself running Neovide only, and doing something I never thought I'd see, running tmux from within neovim/neovide. I think this only works (for me) because of session management (there are half a dozen plugins for handling quickly changing 'workspaces') and because the built-in terminal (with a very useful plugin called toggleterm: https://github.com/akinsho/toggleterm.nvim) works so well.

    I have not stopped using tmux and layouts, and it sits in another fullscreen iterm2 workspace, but I find that I now spend 90% of my time using a fullscreen neovide and summoning/toggling tmux momentarily for running commands.

    Of course, the caveat here is that my preferred mode of operation is being fullscreen as often as possible. I think if your preferred mode of operation is to always see splits then running neovim from the terminal within tmux is still the way to go.

    As for why I like neovide? I find the animations, when tweaked to be less 'cool' are extremely useful to see where the cursor jumps to. I am also a huge fan of the fact that I can finally use 'linespace' to put some space between my lines of code -- it is an aesthetic I didn't realize I wanted.

  • kanagawa.nvim

  • Comment.nvim

    :brain: :muscle: // Smart and powerful comment plugin for neovim. Supports treesitter, dot repeat, left-right/up-down motions, hooks, and more

  • Project mention: My 2024 PDE: NeoVim | dev.to | 2024-01-11

    Treesitter is a syntax parser that'll build a tree-like structure to enable anything from excellent syntax highlighting through to complex refactoring. There are so many creative ways you can use Treesitter, from jumping around text objects to commenting sections of code, it's a must-have in my books.

  • Project mention: Python 3.13 Gets a JIT | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-01-09

    The article describes that the new JIT is a "copy-and-patch JIT" (I've previously heard this called a "splat JIT"). This is a relatively simple JIT architecture where you have essentially pre-compiled blobs of machine code for each interpreter instruction that you patch immediate arguments into by copying over them.

    I once wrote an article about very simple JITs, and the first example in my article uses this style: https://blog.reverberate.org/2012/12/hello-jit-world-joy-of-...

    I take some issue with this statement, made later in the article, about the pros/cons vs a "full" JIT:

    > The big downside with a “full” JIT is that the process of compiling once into IL and then again into machine code is slow. Not only is it slow, but it is memory intensive.

    I used to think this was true also, because my main exposure to JITs was the JVM, which is indeed memory-intensive and slow.

    But then in 2013, a miraculous thing happened. LuaJIT 2.0 was released, and it was incredibly fast to JIT compile.

    LuaJIT is undoubtedly a "full" JIT compiler. It uses SSA form and performs many optimizations (https://github.com/tarantool/tarantool/wiki/LuaJIT-Optimizat...). And yet feels no more heavyweight than an interpreter when you run it. It does not have any noticeable warm up time, unlike the JVM.

    Ever since then, I've rejected the idea that JIT compilers have to be slow and heavyweight.

  • vulscan

    Advanced vulnerability scanning with Nmap NSE

  • Project mention: Scanning ports and finding network vulnerabilities using nmap | dev.to | 2023-12-01

    Few people know that nmap is not just for reconnaissance work. Among other things, it allows finding vulnerabilities based on scripts prepared by the community and the tool's developers. Examples include nmap-vulners, vulscan or already prepared scripts that are installed along with nmap.
