    essentially a terminal modal editor (like vim), but instead of specifying the action to perform then what to perform the action on (like “yank 3 lines”), in helix you select first, then perform actions on the selection (like “these 3 lines, i want them yanked”). it’s slightly better (according to others) because you get to see what you’re going to change in the file so you don’t accidentally delete 5 lines instead of deleting 4.

    on top of that many features are builtin, like tree-sitter and lsp support, so you don’t have to spend 5 hours looking for cool plugins and configuring everything to get started (my config file is only 50 lines of toml).

    the downside is that there isn’t support for plugins (yet), but there’s already things like a file picker, more than 100 themes etc.

    sorry, did middle schoolers get taught the earth spins twice a day? 3 times? 17 times? or maybe they get taught that the time taken for it to spin once is actually called the sidereal day and not the synodic day?

    if you want to measure how fast things spin, use angular velocity. your car engine goes at several thousand rpm, not several thousand kilometers per hour. if you were standing at the poles, you would have zero linear velocity. does this mean the earth doesn’t spin?

    ok maybe you were talking about the time the earth takes to go around the sun. yes that takes a year.
