sshfs is very cool.
As the title says: sshfs is very cool. I've always hated having 3 different ssh windows open all simply to run an xemacs on each host. For the previous year, I was getting around that by having one putty window going into a screen session, and from that host hopping around to 3 or 4 other systems I needed to do work on. And yes, every screen would eventually be running at least one xemacs.sshfs has always seemed one of the coolest ideas around that make use of FUSE (file systems written in userspace code). I finally got motivated by a co-worker who was using eclipse's python-support to browse through remote code over sshfs. Not only was it convenient, it's also more secure ... minimizes temptation to have code snippets on the laptop.I used macports to install it; a simplesudo port install sshfsgrabbed the binaries and dropped them into place. Then it's a simple matter ofsshfs server: ~/mntto mount it (then I can go in and edit~/mnt/.cshrcor whatever trivially); and when I'm done,umount ~/mnt.I think I forgot to umount it when I was moving locations, although I had carefully exited my editor session, and that may have interfered with the sleep or waking up from it. I'm not sure whether it hadn't gone to sleep or whether it crashed on waking up, but I had problems turning it back on.

dsk on Ask Reddit: How important is UML?
if pseudo-code/plain-old-English is a better alternative.Thats the thing. How do you describe a complex system in pseudo-code/plain-old-English that people other than yourself will understand. UML is an attempt at the answer.
