lime!

the entirety of office has localised hotkeys. whaddayamean ^F is “search”? it’s for fat text!

nope, that’s an NT thing

i’ve moved to helix, partly to stop myself tinkering and partly because the reversed command model is just easier. plus it has popup helpers.

not necessarily. you could also have done a yank-paste, or a repeated action, or had a command output into the buffer.

it’s a good habit to always leave the editor in normal mode between actions, because that makes for a cleaner edit history with smaller changesets in the undo tree.

…vim is sort of like driving stick in that way.

what is even more funny about this is that the name of that directory used to be locale-dependent, so in sweden it was just called “Program”, completely nullifying that idea.

i’ve never had the time to get into emacs, would love to though.

also, some layouts have the : on its own key, and if you include the esc in vim commands you’re not using vim correctly :)

four. the ! is unnecessary. how many actions are there to save and quit in other editors? ctrl, s, ctrl, w is four. move to file, click, move to save, click, move to ×, click is six.

and that’s before we replace the wq with x.

not really, unless you get like a mini pc. you usually don’t save much money at all on prebuilts. maybe look into refurbished or second-hand machines if your setup is very old?

what videos are those? flightgear looks like ass without mods so maybe it’s modded? also flightgear runs on a baked potato so i wouldn’t worry too much.

when it comes to building a machine, you’re unfortunately going to have to deal with rgb. the supply/demand situation has gotten us to the weird place where components with christmas lights on them cost less than those without.

thus rendering them redundant, because their strength is being bound to a single physical device. if they’re portable, they’re as good as asymmetric key pairs.

put it this way, i’m no patrick stewart. i did not pull the look off.

we already know how to build bigger planes. the lockheed CL-1201 design study is from like the 60s.

i shave my head twice a week, because i have the fantastic luck to have incredibly thick hair, and since 22, mpb.

no, there is no difference. at least if ubuntu studio has hooked apt up to discover; it’s usually mainly used for flatpaks.

oh hey an actual joke in programmer_humor, let’s check the comments

gleam feels cozy.

fair enough, i didn’t look it up.

probably licensing.

malbolge is a programming language

tcl is pretty fun actually, it’s like bash on steroids.

for a preview of the insanity: anything surrounded by "" is a string, with the variable expansion you’d expect. anything surrounded by {} is also a string, but with no expansion. the equivalent in bash is the backtick string. but you don’t need to know that to write tcl. if you approach {} as “code blocks” like in other languages, it just works. reason being that tcl evals everything, constantly, attaching little tags to strings that tells the language how things are used, like “this string is an integer” or “this string is code and here is the result from last time it ran”. it’s madness and, weirdly, robust as hell. Xilinx writes all their tooling in tcl. SQLite started life as a tcl module, and it’s still the only api that is not provided by a plugin.
