The animal life in Texas is quietly working on a long-term merger with Australia while you people stare impotently at screens all day, agonizing over trivia such as Emacs vs neovim (obvious answer: neovim, but I digress).
Action must be taken.
- melony 3y agoIndeed, what is Spanish for Aux armes, ingénieurs en développement logiciel?
- tomcam 3y agome gusta neovim
- nntwozz 3y agoI think humanity as a whole can only really start focusing on the real problems once we settle on the Emacs vs neovim debate. It's all about setting the right priorities, right?
- tomcam 3y agoOnly a few people get it. You are in the vanguard, my friend
- bee_rider 3y agoI don’t think anyone cares about emacs vs vim anymore. (Because that would require caring about emacs even a little bit). It is now VSCode vs neovim and it seems like a tough fight.
- gwhl 3y agoClearly! Emacs has won but the fight for the second place is fierce.
- sgtnoodle 3y agoI'm on the verge of converting. I'm sick of vscode using 4-6 CPU cores at 100% when I'm not doing anything.
- hulitu 3y agoDo you think drawing a cursor is free ? Think again. /s
- sgtnoodle 3y agoI'm conceited enough that lately I've been thinking, "maybe I should just write a text editor. It can't be that hard." I tried a new text editor today that's written in rust. I downloaded the tar.gz and it just had a single executable binary in it It doesn't feel any more responsive than vscode, but at least its rust extension seems to work. I wrote like 20 lines of rust without any borrow checker errors so it was a good day? Back when I worked on space ships, I used gedit and grep. That was before gedit's UI got butchered. Those were the good old days I guess.
- xbar 3y agoneovim. I'm still trying to help my friends work through their guilt over running VScode at all.
- bee_rider 3y agoThat sounds very difficult, if it is even possible. Instead, you should probably just get new friends.
- xattt 3y agoWhy not nano?
- sacnoradhq 3y agoAnyone else want to rally at the State Capitol? ;) I remember onetime around Oklahoma, my grandpa was driving a fully-loaded '94 Maxima with my grandma, aunt, mom, and myself. He then proceeded to drive slowly through a tarantula migration where the entire road was covered with large, dark round, shapes as far as they eye could see in every direction moving northwest. Grandma, who had terrible vision, flung the rear door open and leaned out parallel to the ground like a cartoon character to get a better look. I swear she was about to fall out. PS: Neovim is the correct answer. Kill regular Vi with fire and nuke VS Code from orbit. It's the only way to be sure. Emacs is for people trying to turn people and the entire world into LISP. Nothing wrong with that, but keep your religion out of my beliefs.
- tomcam 3y agoYou had me at “tarantula migration“
- sacnoradhq 3y agoNightmare fuel ensues. The only saving grace is tarantulas are somewhat docile and aren't aggressive or dangerous. They can attack lungs and skin with their defense mechanism if they feel threatened. Black widow's are pretty chill, but they're difficult to spot and hide in things. Brown recluses OTOH are demons. In the world, the horrific are the huntsman spiders of Australia. Just search Youtube for these monsters. I'd find some other place to live with normal arachnids.
- tomcam 3y agoI don’t mind spiders, and I actually played with tarantulas regularly as a kid. The Hunstsman spider is a whole different ball game. The whole “I can jump at your face from 3 feet away and I’m the size of a toilet seat“ thing is beyond the pale.
- wholinator2 3y agoI have to leave this thread
- deleted 3y ago[deleted]
- msla 3y agoImplement neovim in Emacs. It's the only solution.
- tomcam 3y agoElegant
- brucethemoose2 3y agoI grew up in Texas, and thought the wildlife was the most hostile in the US. We had the big mosquitos, nasty bugs, and predators all in our neighborhood... Then I moved to Florida.
- permo-w 3y agothe one thing worse than big mosquitoes: small mosquitoes
- brucethemoose2 3y agoMore accurately, 700 gazillion mosquitos of all sizes, and 2 gazillion bug predators trying to eat them, in a hazy cloud obscuring the alligator chilling in your backyard.
