I do not understand why would anyone care about nanometers at all. There are power efficiency, performance, reliability, price/value characteristics that are more important to an average consumer than the lithography process size.

Because the node size used to be a reliable proxy for power efficiency, performance and price characteristics. That was true for decades, until the node size became so small that the quantum effects changed the game.

Huh, an American company. The majority of the employees of which are from eastern Europe or India.

There's a few of those EPAM is also US-based but has most of it's workforce in Belarus and Ukraine.

Yeah, but it show how you can do it by yourself and not spend 30k on manufactured one.

> I dislike types in 30 lines of python They are already there you just don't want to acknowledge them. You can build the same prototype in strictly typed language just by sticking to some primitive types like int/string and type inference, and the progress toward something more complex as your prototype grows. I personally prefer to use types right away, so type system can guide me further and show me when I'm assuming something in a wrong way.

Unless you're quite experienced with them and use as a thinking tool and not as burden.

... and install emacs?

I am a strange beast when it comes to editor wars. I am indeed an Emacs user since roughly 25 years. However, being a sysadmin teaches you to be comfortable with vi since it is just not practical to install Emacs on every machine you have root access on. So I am actually happy to fire up vim to edit a config file.

Well, there is Tramp with the sudo edit method.

To access the remote machine via ssh and then use sudo to root access the files:

    /ssh:user@localhost|sudo:localhost:/path/to/file

This is using the multi-hop solution as explained here:

Why? ed is still available :-)

As far as I understand, GP meant that this piece should be in an article or blog post form because it has very beginner material for the PL community.

I live not in USA, and before Uber taxi services were a total mess.

Some time ago I used to work on VSCode with vim plugin and to tell the truth all those vim plugins were nothing compared to spacemacs or evil-mode on vanilla emacs.

At first I think that this would be some kind of terminal browsers with very limited number of features, but after few minutes of using it looks very impresive. I'll try to move all my dayly programming browsing and see how it will work.

I wonder, what made you think it's a terminal browser?
