Ed is king. Every single time I have to work on a severely resource constrained system I always use Ed.

That's literally never happened to me but that won't stop me from saying it.

I mean, I don't know how severly resource constrained a system has to be to not even be able to run vi.

Except I'm too dumb to use even the neovim plugin manager let alone configure the thing. I have to copy existing configs like a noob :(

My serial killer trait is that I use vi instead of vim cause I'm too lazy to type the extra character. Tho if for some reason, vi tab completed to vim, I'd probably use vim

[–] [email protected] 67 points 2 years ago (1 children)

alias v=vim. There, just saved you two keystrokes.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 2 years ago (1 children)

{vi} = 2 {vim} = 3 {v=vim} = 5

I'd need to run vi at least 5 times to have a net gain in saving keystrokes. I'm typically in effemerial systems created by the users of our env, so rarely am I going to gain those strokes back

But also, why am I trying to apply logic to this? I'll often cat a file before editing it. This shit is just illogical idiosyncrasies I've picked up over the years. I'm probably creating posthoc justifications for insane things I do cause it's hard to override muscle memory

I use nano.

Nano >> vi/vim, emacs

4 letters < 2 letters.

vi forever.

Not if you need any work done.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

That's when you switch to a IDE.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago (3 children)

Neovim and emacs are IDEs.

Ok but why use nano when micro literally exists

Aliases are just bloat! You can do just fine without them. Heck, why not remove the ASCII conversion and read everything in hex or binary?

It's all about SPEED and efficiency here!

Most all distros alias vi to vim already, so it makes no difference.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 years ago

You use vi because you are lazy.

I used vi because I am too stupid to close it.

We are not the same.

Vi is totally fine to quickly make small changes to e.g. a config file on a server. I wouldn't like to program in vi though.

VS code is pretty amazing though

[–] [email protected] 18 points 2 years ago (1 children)

You guys recommend VSCodium over VSCode. Is there a working sync solution similar to the one built into VSCode where you can sync all settings and extensions between machines?

[–] [email protected] 17 points 2 years ago

Yes! It's this one https://open-vsx.org/extension/zokugun/sync-settings I really like it for using a normal repository over a "gist" and so you can also use any git server provider, I think the developer is also a contributor of VSCodium itself

[–] [email protected] 16 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I generally code in VSCode, and manage org-roam notes and information in Emacs. Works well enough for me.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Any particular reason why you don't code in Emacs? Since you already set up Org Mode and Org Roam, I'm sure you know how the configuration works and how to write some Elisp. It's actually not that much work to set up all the things you would need for programming (lsp-mode, etc.)

What's a plugin? What's VSCode?

DBase IV does not need any of this.
