What are referring to, out of interest? Does this apply just to nvim, or vim as well?
markrian··on Show HN: Globstar – Open-source static analysis toolkit
Interesting! Do you have a page which compares globstar against other similar tools, like Semgrep, ast-grep, Comby, etc?

For instance, something like https://ast-grep.github.io/advanced/tool-comparison.html#com....

You can install the [python-is-python3][0] package on 20.04, which symlinks /usr/bin/python to python3.

One built-in feature (not enabled by default) that I absolutely love is persistent undo. Love it.

Basically, undo trees can be persisted across vim sessions. Have a read via ":help undo-persistence".

The closest thing I'm aware of is ":earlier {N}f", which "[Goes] to older text state {N} file writes before.".

So once you're somewhat happy with what you've got, write the file, and then continue editing, repeat, and you can revert back to any previous saved file state.

markrian··on PANIC Stack Overflow Is Down
Indeed it is: http://isup.me/stackoverflow.com

It's surprising how much this hurts my productivity. And as great as archive.org is, it's not a very good substitute in this case[0], as most questions aren't archived.
