Reminds me of those shoe covers workers put on to avoid tracking dirt into a customer's home...

I second this. Cosmic has been rock solid for me even in Alpha.

It looks great and has some really nice built-in apps (like cosmic term that is built off of Alacritty)

Here's another example of a custom rust operator, https://github.com/mach-kernel/databricks-kube-operator

Written by a co-worker to help manage our databricks projects across clusters. Works wonderfully!!

Did almost the same...

spacemacs > custom config with evil, trying to create a slimmed down spacemacs > vanilla with god mode.

Generally use vanilla bindings most of the time (w/ God mode) but sometimes load up evil for the fun of it. Now, however, it's no big deal when I pop into a mode that doesn't play nice with evil bindings.. I just turn off evil and am good to go

Sorry to hear about your leg!!

Me fear of them just increased dramatically. I thought I was immune but may just have been lucky, as you said.

I live in Kansas City, MO. They're everywhere around here. Have found them in my house several times and even been bitten by them. I guess I'm just lucky but I never had an overly bad reaction to their venom. (knock on wood)

Really, really well done!!! Was up and running with some cool music in just a few minutes. And being in the browser meant that I could do some unconventional things, such as playback a song in multiple tabs for some neat syncopation/polyphony effects. Fun.

Looks like they partnered with the Counterpoint team on this (https://ctpt.co/)
