I miss Vim 1 year ago

Speaking of helix, does is support vim key bindings? Last time I tried, it was kinda disappointing to be forced to learn a completely key binding set.

Since you are writing to the location where rip is pointing to, you need to rewind to the beginning of the page first. Otherwise the program will crash if you're unlucky and rip is currently exactly at the end of an executable mapping. Low chance, but still...

One use case I have faced more than once are stuck processes in legacy build systems. For example, generating docs takes ages. Just killing the generator process will fail the build because the parent will notice. And since the build system is buggy/old, restarting the build will start from zero.

To support a block based filesystem on top of MTD an advanced FTL (Flash Translation Layer) is needed. Sadly most algorithms for decent FTLs are patented. SSD vendors try hard keeping their magic sauce there own. In Linux we habe some trivial FTLs implemented, but even these are toxic.
