Someone from the era of short usernames on unix boxes, along with "esr" and "rob". To more directly answer, it's Richard Stallman. Known for the free software movement and emacs among other things.
Let's not forget "ken" and "dmr".

It's true, even though most people don't go "full RMS", he's clearly a force for good in the Universe, and he's fighting the good fight for the benefit of all of us.
RMS has done a lot, but perhaps his main role now is to encourage others to do things. In the good fight, people shouldn't thank him for his service, but rather, join up.

Oh, right. I have control remapped on caps lock, so it's caps lock + [.
This is where https://github.com/alols/xcape is amazing. I'm not sure, but I think Karabiner can be configured to act the same way.

#115This is pretty dope, but I'm terrified about the fact that Firefox lets it take over Ctrl+L, Ctrl+1, or any other way (that I can find, at least) of breaking out of Vim with a keyboard aside from closing the tab with Ctrl+W - which is even more terrifying since I use that in Vim a ton, too :O ...but this is pretty cool :D
I had a similar problems with Emacs in the browser (I stumbled upon it a long time ago). The keys I needed the most were also the keys intercepted by the browser.

Both alternatives that I mentioned, Flash and PNaCL did have open source implementations available, it is just a matter of following the links I posted. WASM doesn't offer any security over internal data corruption as buffer access within linear memory aren't validated for data bounds or nullability. So it is possible, for a WASM module generated from C or C++ code, to provide input data to its functions in such a wa…

#119Where’s the escape key on my iPhone?
Very useful for SSH and termux.

This is incredible. I think I needed this about 40 years when typing on a small Teletype (non-ASR33) without an escape key.
The reason is interesting as well. Paraphrasing from this blog post[0] When you format the ASCII table in four columns, you can see `ESC` and `[` on the same row. Holding `CTRL` essentially ~lops off the first three bits~ subtracts 64, resulting in `ESC` ... ... 0011000 CAN 0111000 8 1011000 X 1111000 x 0011001 EM 0111001 9 1011001 Y 1111001 y 0011010 SUB 0111010 : 1011010 Z 1111010 z 0011011 ESC 0111011 ; 1011011 […
No, it inverts the 7th bit (or subtracts 64).
The Linux `ascii(7)` man page has a similar table, but with 2 columns. The first 32 control characters listed there have their "caret notation" character in the opposite column.
