I made a meme.
The fun thing about this meme is that the film showed SGI’s fsn file manager running on IRIX.
IRIX is a discontinued operating system developed by Silicon Graphics (SGI) to run on the company’s proprietary MIPS workstations and servers. It is based on UNIX System V with BSD extensions.
Close enough I’d say. After all, she didn’t say “this is UNIX”, she said “this is a UNIX system”.
Helix and Vim/NeoVim? Muscle memory is overrated anyways.
He installed Helix last year and will try it out soon. Any day now…
He’ll try it right after he’s done tweaking his NeoVim config so he can finally start doing some meaningful work in it.
This is the equivalent of a woodworker building jigs and other tools with their thousands-of-dollars of equipment.
Source: me. I do this. 😬
Yeah, the feeling of “just needing that one perfect tool before I can do this” seems terribly common and I feel like it’s being enabled quite a bit in our society. If I just had the right editor/keyboard/notepad/fountain pen/jig etc, then I’ll be able to work on this other thing…
Legit thought it was just going to be a wall of text editors and nothing else
You don’t need this many editors x) Neovim for all your terminal needs, emacs evil mode when you need some actual UI in there like a notebook or R markdown !
Besides that, Java is never the right tool. It’s always close enough but never quite right ; just like you can technically replace every single tool with a knife… But you shouldn’t. (Except a knife does have a proper use, Java does not)
So you’re saying I should add Emacs there?
Nah, presumably the developer already has an operating system and just needs a text editor.
What is the source of this?
Gran Torino.
For anyone considering watching: despite the name and this meme, not really a car movie. I enjoyed it (even if Clint singing over the closing credits is a bit much)
Thanks!
