Good point. I'll make a note to add some documentation to that effect. I didn't think of it originally because I didn't expect this much interest in my project.

Yes, through the state option (xdotool calls it windowstate). I was confused when implementing it, because there appear to be three different fields: maximized_horz, maximized_vert, and fullscreen. If you want total fullscreen (covers taskbar and other stuff), use the last one. If you want the window maximized, use both of the maximized ones.

Come to think of it, I should put in better documentation for the state option, as well as a general maximize alias.

This solves a few issues in xdotool for me:

Window selection allows for multiple criteria at once, and I can also reject windows.

I'm also able to use the window manager's client list as a source, which makes getting toplevel windows much easier.

Window movement is done using static gravity, fixing an issue where windows were moving differently if they were a terminal window versus non-terminal window.

Bonk can delete properties. I sometimes delete WM_NORMAL_HINTS if a window has size hints set where I can't resize it the way I want.

xdotool can raise windows but can't lower them (bonk can do both).

Quoting remme.io:

> No more passwords — no more break-ins. REMME implements unbreakable, foolproof user authentication to protect your users, employees, and company’s data from cyber attacks.

This is laughable. Nothing is unbreakable. This is using a blockchain so I'd be willing to bet that it's vulnerable to the 51% attack.

This account's post history is also suspicious. They only post articles and links to this project, and do not have any comments (no community engagement).

c9 helped when I was back in college. The desktops there were locked down with preinstalled tools. c9 was better than what the college had, and I didn't have to worry about saving my work. Once I was home I could sync the changes.

As someone on the higher-functioning end of the spectrum, I think it does. There are some traits I have and issues I contend with that I believe are based on Aspergers. Examples:

Sensitivity to non-harmonic noises, especially loud ones. The tapping of a pen, the hum of someone standing around. I cannot stand being around crying children. The feeling isn't quite that of blood pressure rising. More, that it creates a bubbling discomfort that makes me feel as though I might speak out against my own will. I never do, but it feels that way. So I have to remove myself from the situation or do something to rectify it.

A preference for non-verbal communication, well over that of my peers. A thumbs up. A nod. A wave instead of a "hey". I wave to greet people in case they don't hear me. I'm quiet because I don't like loud noises, and my own voice is near myself.

No interest in forming social relationships outside of work. People can tell I'm not interested because I don't offer to do activities outside of work. So I learn about people meeting up after work through overhearing people in passing. I'm okay with this, but I realize that this is outside the norm. Many social activities are not of interest to me.

I stave off loneliness through watching streams on Twitch and interacting primarily through Reddit. I get to control how much interaction I want. In both cases, I aim for smaller communities. I have a large body of programming work that I rarely discuss not out of humbleness or a desire to keep it to myself, but because the social rewards of sharing one's work don't carry the appeal to me that they do to others. At least, that's my assumption.

I can't read people's faces. I stopped bothering to try some time ago. I intuit by relation. This scenario seems familiar. I bet this person will want to do that. Aha, I thought so. I've also learned to tune into people's word selection. Do their words suggest urgency toward a goal, or a more relaxed attitude toward it? How do they ask for my attention? How do they speak about what they're wanting to learn? Where is this? Over there. Other questions with more detail suggest the speaker has more time, and may allow for more detail.

On the face of it, I can come across as relatively normal (though quiet). Deep down, the signs of Aspergers are still there, I've simply managed to find clever ways around them.

Author here. That's roughly what I was shooting for. Python was a big inspiration early on in the design, and later on some functional concepts were put into the mix. I found them and liked them too much to pass up on.

One advantage of Lily not mentioned (with regard to typing), is that the type-checking is very fast. One of the reasons I made Lily interpreted and homebrewed all the parts was because as much as I like static typing, it's often slow. Slow static typing, I think, diminishes some of the value of it since you're still waiting but in a different way.

Yeah, that's a mistake on my part. I pushed a fix just now. Thanks for the tip.
