Anyone 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
- voidfunc 3y agoI'll never unsee clock spider.
- Zuider 3y agoIt must be a primal, instinctual, fear from when our mouse-sized mammal ancestors were hunted by those things at night.
- eternityforest 3y agoEveryone seems to be pretty ok with those guys just kinda chillin around them. I think the weather would be higher on my list of things to be afraid of in Australia
- ilkke 3y agoHuntsman spiders sure look scary and can get ridiculously large, but are in fact harmless and even helpful as they feed on cockroaches. Giant, flying Australian cockroaches.
- kazinator 3y agoThus, if you happen to be a cockroach, you probably don't find them harmless.
- bcrosby95 3y agoI've never had a runin with a black widow I didn't expect. Just look at where you put your fingers in places that are dark during the day. Brown widows are a pain in my rear. Unlike black widows, who outside will hide in holes and places you general don't access, brown widows will hide in places you do - places that aren't pitch black during the day like outdoor toys, and under chairs and tables.
- iamthepieman 3y agoSpent a week working on an organic farm in West Virginia in my teens. One of the greenhouses had a black widow invasion. There were probably 5-10 per cubic meter. One of my jobs was to clear them out with some sort of dessicant spray that caused them to shrivel up so we could till and plant tomatoes. Had phantom black widows on me for days. But they were pretty docile.
- nurettin 3y agoI use lisp, but not emacs. Keep your editor out of my religion.
- tomcam 3y agoHell to the yes!
- allarm 3y agoI use Emacs but don’t use Lisp. Sometimes I use vim and experimenting with neovim. The editor wars are incredibly frustrating and boring, don’t start one.
- wholinator2 3y agoYes, we won't start it, we'll end it!
- taskforcegemini 3y agokill regular vi, or regular vim?
- boppo1 3y agoDoes neovim let me select a term and quick-list declarations, the definition, & references across the codebase? Step-by-step debug with gdb integration? Otherwise I have to clutch my VS Code. I'm not shit flinging. Always wanted to be a 1337 FOSSy cli-only hackerman until I started trying to contribute to a C codebase with a thousand files of thousands of lines of code. Hung my head in shame and installed VS Code.
- huseyinkeles 3y agoYes, Neovim natively supports LSP (Which, interestingly we have thanks to VSCode. It binds to the same thing that VSCode binds to. So you have feature parity). [0] And anything related to debugging, we have nvim-dap. (Which AGAIN we have the DAP (Debug Adapter Protocol) thanks to VSCode) [1] [0] - https://neovim.io/doc/user/lsp.html https://neovim.io/doc/user/lsp.html [1] - https://github.com/mfussenegger/nvim-dap https://github.com/mfussenegger/nvim-dap
- boppo1 3y agoThank you!
- galoisscobi 3y agoI actually find neovim to work better than VSCode when dealing with large codebases. Telescope [1] based fuzzy searching makes it easy to find stuff in a codebase and harpoon [2] can then be used to short list some important files and quickly navigate to them. There's definitely a bit of a learning curve and setting up your own keybindings before you feel like you're used to it.
