Cmder is ConEmu, just with a bunch of other stuff added to the download, including:
- Something called 'git-for-windows' which isn't actually git for Windows https://git-scm.com/download/win but unremarkable things like shell additions which give you git status in the prompt, and a not-particularly-good GUI.
- Clink (which is for cmd.exe).
I.e., this doesn't in any way address the limitations mentioned in the post you're replying to.
> > - ConEmu: mainly excellent but a little dated - eg, the active tab color is hard to distinguish but it can't be changed, apparently due to maintainer's insistence it works on Windows XP.
> It lets you create tabs, Ctrl+c - Ctrl+v, and works for Cmd, PowerShell, and Bash
I went to one Android dev meetup in China and some of the local engineers seemed frustrated, because GFW occasionally blocks Github.com or developers.google.com ...
Some PhD openings may not even be advertised, so politely asking (i.e. no generic spamming) existing students or faculty members is the only way to find out.
This is a nice write up. The only thing I found a bit distressing is the "sense of academic achievement" or how one would call it. In my idealized world (à la Hamming's You and Your Research), a great scholar would feel great from doing great science and having a real impact:
* An applied scientist would feel great from solving someone's important problem -- i.e. saving lives, increasing revenue and/or decreasing costs at the end of the day.
* A theoretician would feel great from solving a recognized important problem.
On one hand, the author writes enthusiastically about her side-projects / internships / hobbies. On the other hand, almost all academic remarks end with:
"Our paper got rejected / accepted at [top venue]. We felt sad / relieved."
Without any further remarks about that work -- i.e. it's all "publish or perish" no matter what.
In that way, it sounds as if one was doing research for the sake of producing papers rather than solving important problems / contributing to our civilization by increasing its stock of knowledge. Perhaps that is the sad state of the current academia.
TLDR: I found a difference between these two senses of academic achievement when looking back at oneself's work:
1. (Idealized) "I/we did a great job solving that important problem."
2. (Current Academia?) "Phew! I/we finally scored another paper at [top venue]." ("And I can now graduate / get a tenure / [something academic career related].")
