On: micro – A Modern Alternative to nano

[mgaunard]

if you look at the progression pico, nano, micro, then you can see its 3 times bigger everytime, not the inverse.

So the next one should be milli.

[evujumenuk → mgaunard]

Followed by… what?

Unity? We could also have an unpronounceable empty string, and refer to it as TEFKAM, The Editor Formerly Known As `milli`.

> We could also have an unpronounceable empty string

For what I assume are historical reasons, the empty string is usually called "lambda".

[Ekaros → evujumenuk]

At that point for a few generations we do only 10x centi, deci, deca and hecto.

[evujumenuk → Ekaros]

The taglines basically write themselves. 'A 10x editor for 10x engineers.'

[velosol → evujumenuk]

https://10xeditor.com/ might prefer you use a different number ;)

Is macro the one after milli?

[mykhamill → eternityforest]

There are two scale systems at play.

pico, nano, micro, milli, unit, kilo, Mega, Giga... Which relates to the SI units.

And Micro,Meso and Macro scaling system that centers around human sized reality.

[eternityforest → mykhamill]

SI doesn't have a prefix for 1x does it? Doe you'd need a non-SI like macro or meso, or just to jump from milli to kilo. Or call it Editor One or just Editor.

[julesnp → mykhamill]

Don't forget centi-, deci-, deka-, and hecto-.

[mgaunard → eternityforest]

macro is not a SI prefix.
