Fair enough! I’m an English second language speaker too, I understand the struggle!

But to answer about relevance: to me, text editors are just tools. I don’t really care which one you use, as long as you do the job well. I use vim (or honestly, mostly vim bindings) everywhere I can as they’re just second nature to me at this point, and I go around text much quicker when thinking in text objects than the typical Ctrl+Alt+… and home/end/pg up/pg down shortcuts. I could just as well work with Notepad++, it’s just gonna slow me down.

So in that sense, it’s just like a pencil. Some have preferences as to which pencils they like to write with. I like fountain pens and mechanical pencils. You seem to prefer graphite pencils, and guess you probably prefer ball pens ;)

Technically, no, indeed. On paper, most (outside UNIX purists) refer to it (and MINIX) as Unix-like, as they don’t share much from UNIX outside the underlying philosophy. Ritchie himself still thought of Linux as mostly Unix in essence. Same kind of Ayckchyually, basically lol

“Relative”? 🤨

Yet many people prefer mechanical pencils. Are you against choice? What is there to get or “need”?

I mean, why compare it with vim at all then. Apples and oranges…

we can’t stop anywhere

Why? No road stops anywhere in your 30h trip? No parkings in the city? No motels anywhere?

my final driving stretch is the final one and 30 mins of under 40 kmph in the city

More than half accidents happen a handful of miles from home. Most accidents are caused by intersections. You’re not less likely to have an accident cause you’re almost there.

Its also its past midnight and its empty roads rn.

So exactly when one of y’all almost killed me just days ago! Even better.

Havent seen in a vehicle minus trailers in the last hour

Good to know. We’ll know who to blame if a trailer goes off road.

There are no excuses. Don’t drive sleep deprived.

I never get the need to use a mechanical pencil and graphite pencils exists

Ah, yes, 2h of sleep after 36h of consecutive waking time, now that’s safe.

It’s not a contest, you know. I almost got killed by one of y’all just last week coming back from the hospital late at night, sleepyhead almost shoved me in the ravine. You’re just as, if not more, dangerous as drunk drivers. I hope you get a DUI.

Fucking get some sleep before taking a couple tons of metal at highway speeds on the same road as other people. You used the term “unwise” elsewhere in the comments, I call it criminally negligent.

It’s hard to hate nano, but IMHO there also isn’t anything to like in particular either. It’s basically a TUI notepad. It’s there, it lets people edit files… and that’s pretty much all there is to it.

What do you mean by “useful for other stuff”? It’s still double the investment, what do you gain for this much, realistically, from a purely hobbyist, I’ll check things with my 6yo, PoV? Are we talking genuine trash to good, or more like acceptable to great?

“Du” is used in the sense of “some” milk, while “de” is more “of” milk. Not sure it’s the exact translation but that’s how it’s mapped in my French speaking ESL brain.

Do you already have underlying fungus issues? My guess would be that most people, myself included, don’t get overly crazy with washing their feet – some water and soap - yet don’t develop feet fungus either…

Yeah it’s not such a natural behavior for them to hang out in packs. They like to wander alone. Extremely individualistic animal. You don’t own a cat, they tolerate your presence in their home…

Although I did stumble on some kind of large cat group meet in an alleyway on a night walk, a couple of years ago. Having ~20 cats sitting in a circle staring at you in the dark is strangely intimidating…

Not a doctor obviously, but I’ve been taking escitalopram and vyvanse together as prescribed by my doc. Which should be where it is coming from, honestly, considering it’s basically diet speed lol

I’d love to be able to do this but I’d have armpit stains down to my bellybutton after 5 minutes. Hyperhidrosis is… fun?

The fuck you doing with your feet that you need them to be sterile

An Android phone/tablet with a USB adapter? If it shows up as some kind of HID, Android might pick it up…?

Oh, for sure! But I’m a developer myself, so like most of us, I tend to take my technical opinions as gospel by default 😉

Sometimes it can be fun to push your limits or see how far you can go down some personally motivated rabbit hole. Just saying, I’d never do it with bash myself. Don’t get me wrong, I write bash scripts all the damn time, but the second it gets more complicated than aligning a handful of simple commands without too much output parsing BS, requiring some obscure awk one liner nobody understands after 2 days, I bail out to something less awkward.

I’ve been working as a dev for 8+ years, been programming for much longer. Yes, many things are possible with bash. Many things are also possible using straight assembly, but nobody does that - for good reasons…

Many of those problems you mentioned have well established, open source solutions that should not end up in lost work or data. Building things yourself also has the downside of maintaining those things, and dealing with your own (inevitable) failures yourself too. I’d rather trust established solutions for things as complex as provisioning than roll my own. But whatever works for you.

If I were to write that much code by hand, I’d just choose something saner than bash, purely from a language perspective. That’s all.

Oh, for sure, but to me it’s “building a car with a screwdriver” impressive. It’s impressive that the feat is doable at all, but why one would subject themselves to this eludes me haha.
