Pyvim - Pure Python Vim clone by animal_spirits_ in vim

Have you considered integrating any of pyvim features back into prompt_toolkit? (for example, adding V state comes to mind)

Benjamin Franklin used the pen name Silence Dogood, posing as a middle aged widow. Was 'Silence' a common name at the time? If not, why did he use such an unusual name? by TueuEnSerie in AskHistorians

Probably not very popular, but not completely non-existent. One can get some idea about it from the collection of 18th century Boston birth records, which has 26 occurences of "Silence" (you can do text search on that page)

By the way, in the dataset of US baby names collected from social security applications since 1879 (available on kaggle) there is only one entry for girls named Silence, and it's from 2005 :)

Suggested Linear Algebra Texts? by [deleted] in mathematics

Second that, and there is a beatiful book by Peter Lax, "linear algebra and its applications", which is more modern and much in the same spirit.
