That Editor
- phplovesong 2y agoIt is a programming editor for DOS environments. More specifically, it is something that looks like a programming editor for DOS environments, modelled after the editor called Joe. For the why, see: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZMBQmhO8KqI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZMBQmhO8KqI
- petercooper 2y agoI must take this opportunity for anyone who is unfamiliar with 'Bisqwit' to take a look at his YouTube channel. For over a decade he has released, admittedly in spurts, some of the most clever programming videos I've seen. This is a sky-high IQ guy who codes for the love of coding, not for money or career advancement (indeed, he was a bus driver when he was most prolific with his videos). Small 3D engines, C trickery, reverse engineering old video games, soundchip coding, creating a terminal emulator.. all that sort of gritty, low level fun stuff. Go to https://www.youtube.com/@Bisqwit/videos https://www.youtube.com/@Bisqwit/videos - hit "Popular", and find something that catches your eye. Fanboy over and out.. :-)
- jimbob45 2y agoHis Portal 2 maps are all as mind-bending as you’d expect too. https://steamcommunity.com/id/bisqwit/myworkshopfiles/?appid=620 https://steamcommunity.com/id/bisqwit/myworkshopfiles/?appid...
- bajsejohannes 2y ago> admittedly in spurts I haven't watched his videos, but this seems like a sign of quality. Making a video when you have a great idea vs making a video a week or day just to feed the algorithm.
- throwawayk7h 2y agoI love his content, and his contributions to speedrunning, TAS, reverse engineering, etc. although his obsession with writing diatribes against Islam weirds me out. https://bisqwit.iki.fi/ https://bisqwit.iki.fi/ https://bisqwit.iki.fi/story/apologetics/islamicdeception/ https://bisqwit.iki.fi/story/apologetics/islamicdeception/
- bitwize 2y agoThe fact that he's Jewish might have something to do with that...
- murphyslab 2y agoYou claim, as a "fact", that someone who wrote this [0], identifies as Jewish? [0]: https://bisqwit.iki.fi/jesus/ https://bisqwit.iki.fi/jesus/
- bitwize 2y agoWell, obviously not anymore, but since he belongs to a sect of Christianity (Hebraic Roots) that incorporates Torah law and certain Jewish traditions, can you blame me for getting a little confused? I hadn't seen that article.
- bdcravens 2y agoI can't speak to his beliefs or identity without further research, but Messianic Judaism is a thing, and most identify as Jewish (source: my wife belongs to such a congregation). From this writing, I'll assume that's his belief, as a common tenet is referring to Jesus by his Jewish name.
- hatsix 2y agoTo be clear, "Jewish" can describe a person's religion, culture, or genetics, and other traits if you want to dip into stereotypes. It's definitely possible to be just one and not the others.
- sim7c00 2y agonothing actually. historically and to this day these cultures coexist in peace and respect for the most part (having mutual respect for abrahamic roots). within the middle east and far outside of it.

- Nevin1901 2y agoYou can hear him talk more about his editor choices in this YouTube video: https://youtu.be/ZMBQmhO8KqI https://youtu.be/ZMBQmhO8KqI (That Editor is around the 12:00 mark)
- hnthrowaway0328 2y agoI have always wanted a Mario walking in the menu bar of my IDE.

- mkl 2y ago> I could not binary-patch Borland C++ to perfectly cooperate with screens that have other width than 80 characters. So I was cornered and had no choice but to make my own editor. I could no longer remember how to use Turbo Vision, and I couldn’t bother to study, so I wrote the editor entirely from scratch. That reasoning doesn't make much sense. I think he just wanted to write an editor (which is fine). I'm pretty sure I used DJGPP's RHIDE with 132 columns, and doing Turbo Vision stuff following the excellent documentation is pretty simple.
- bananaboy 2y agoYeah I think MultiEdit supported wider text resolutions as well. There’s also setedit http://setedit.sourceforge.net/ http://setedit.sourceforge.net/
- ChrisClark 2y agoI loved RHIDE, thanks for reminding me of it.

- livrem 2y agoText-mode editor for FreePascal probably works fine in bigger text-modes as well and still looks a lot like traditional programming editors. Or for just a good DOS-compatible code editor, if looks were not so important, he could have just used vim or emacs.
- SuperNinKenDo 2y agoI love it! Of course Bisqwit would be responsible for such a project. Truest hacker mindset of "I need it, so I'll make it."
- flykespice 2y agoBy the way, the reason his channel has been pretty inactive for a couple of years is because he has been enrolled in college (Yes, he is already in his 40s but didn't have a degree), to which he just recently graduated and got a master.
- sim7c00 2y ago"But then I wanted to make a video with wider screen, and despite my best efforts, I could not binary-patch Borland C++ to perfectly cooperate with screens that have other width than 80 characters." totally fan of this guys approach to pretty much everything :D. amazing inspiration, to me atleast
- atoav 2y agoAs an aside, there is a company called that corporation which makes specialized Audio ICs like the THAT2181 blackmer VCA, which allows you to control the volume of an audio signal with extremely low distortion and noise figures. Anybody who is into audio electronics should check out their application notes and datasheets as there is much to learn.
- nativeit 2y agoI have several of them in my personal library. They’re a great starting point for a lot of circuits. I’m pretty sure I first discovered them by tearing apart an old Kurzweil digital piano. I echo the sentiment, their docs are worth perusing.
- davidgerard 2y agoThis editor is not meant to be used by humans. Caveats: * This version is hardcoded for Finnish keyboard layout.
