Memory IS RAM!

/dev/ram0: device not found

Slow,

I wonder why computer RAM fails more often than portable devices?

Mozingo, (edited )
@Mozingo@lemmy.world avatar

Partly because people replace phones more often than computers, (to upgrade, or because the screen breaks, etc) so they stop using the device before the RAM fails. But also the RAM they use in portable devices was made specifically for the device and integrated directly into the mainboard. There’s less points of failure and compatibility is never an issue. Since desktop RAM can be replaced and upgraded, it’s not as big of a deal if it fails, you can just swap it out with a new stick. Whereas it would brick the whole device if mobile ram fails, so quality standards are much higher.

Eheran,

Is that really so or just an assumption?

Not to mention the differences between a soldered interface with the chip directly on the main board designed to basically be permanent, versus a simple contact interface and daughter board designed to be removable, thus adding additional points of failure.

thats correct if you consider how often you can “fix” ram by simply cleaning it.

Which I had to do to fix a mystery hard-reboot-without-warning issue I had just a couple of months ago. Connectors, especially dinky edge connectors on sensitive high-frequency components, are the weak point of most PC hardware.

barsoap,

If your RAM fails then it generally does so quickly, and also if your RAM fails you probably bought some bargain-bin stuff. As a rule of thumb don’t buy DIMMs from companies which don’t produce their own chips, or are extremely reputable. And with that I don’t mean “you have heard of them”.

Better download some more

Gork,

If you wouldn’t download a car, you wouldn’t download RAM.

Once you can do both, you can bet your ass I will :3

Viking_Hippie,

I downloaded probably a handful or two of cars for GTA IV so you BET I’m going to download ALL THE RAM!

thanks! I’ll check your curated list out.

HeartyOfGlass,

I can’t live without fzf. I hope junegunn is as happy as a human can be.

You can also put vim inside VSCode via extensions!

@lemmesay@discuss.tchncs.de avatar

I tried it twice. it require enabling affinity support, which causes vscodium to freezes after an hour of use. might be an issue just on my machine, but it made be use just nvim :)

s_s, to linuxmemes in I love vim

passing away of Bram Moolenaar has made me accelerate faster towards the day where my machine would be clean of any electron bloat.

Was he electroncuted or something?

bram was a chad, mate. I once opened vim without any file(just plain vi) and saw help poor children in Uganda. read whole uganda.txt file and then saw how his organisation is fully involved in getting material benefits to the ground. further went down the rabbithole and saw his org’s photos in uganda.
made me really appreciate the man.

to answer your punny question, he was ill.

bonjour123, to linuxmemes in I love vim

Now that you know about ci(, I highly recommend taking a look at tpope’s plugins. Especially the surround plugin. It can change the surrounding parentheses and tags (if you’re editing an HTML or XML document). Quite cool. Also, there’s much more in tpope’s library of pugins.

PS, did you know that zsh has a vi mode, where you can use typical vi commands to edit the command prompt instead after the default ones? Quite useful as well.

lemmesay,
@lemmesay@discuss.tchncs.de avatar

whoa, that guy is really a vim plugin artist. imma go and install it now. thanks for sharing!

I don’t have much experience with zsh other than using it on office mac. but will try it anyway.

bonjour123,

If you’re going to check out zsh, make sure to take a look at oh my zsh! There’s a lot to explore there, but the plugins are cool.

Wait til he learns about doom emacs which is emacs + vim keybinds (and a lot of other QOL features)

Emacs is a great OS with a bad editor
Vim is a great editor with a bad OS

lemmesay,
@lemmesay@discuss.tchncs.de avatar

Jesus Christ. you’re telling me this now?
I had heard about doom emacs, but never bothered to really look into it.
there goes my weekend.

32b99410_da5b,

Doom is EVIL! github.com/emacs-evil/evil

Well, Doom has Evil, evil collection, etc enabled by default. But that’s less quippy.

rtxn,

DistroTube is a great source for Doom-related knowledge (as long as you ignore his “old man yells at cloud” videos).

lemmesay,
@lemmesay@discuss.tchncs.de avatar

thanks to your comment, I looked up a couple of his videos. Emacs(especially org mode) sounds very interesting. I’ll be investing more time in it.

Black616Angel,

Lol, haven’t heard that name in a long time.

I watched him for a while and even kinda liked some of his “old man yells art cloud” videos, but he lost me around the time of his “explaining Linux to newbies” video.

wanna bet how long til I switch to Emacs :p

foster_hangdaan, to linuxmemes in I love vim

I have been using Vim for over 3 years now and still learning new things. Today I learned about ci". Thank you.

lemmesay,
@lemmesay@discuss.tchncs.de avatar

vim’s shortcuts like these are giving me 'gasms and regret(that I wasted so many collective hours using Ctrl + arrow/mouse over this). it’s a weird feeling.

and yeah, you never learn vim. you just learn it enough.

puppy, (edited ) to linuxmemes in I love vim

TIL. Thanks OP. I have been using “vi” followed by “x” followed by “i” all this time.

cabhan,

For what it’s worth, you can replace xi with just s or c

somenonewho, to linuxmemes in I love vim

Funny I had to Google ci" to remember what it does even though I use that sometimes.

I’ve committed to learning vim years ago and in most situations im faster in vim than in nano etc. (especially because of muscle memory) I still feel like I’m not properly using vim to it’s full extend (like whenever I remember using registers it feels like magick and I’m sure there’s more like that)

lemmesay,
@lemmesay@discuss.tchncs.de avatar

how often do you use macros on a day-to-day basis? it’s next on my learning list.

dukk,

I personally use them pretty often. They’re not natural to me, I spend a little bit thinking about them, but they’re still decently useful.

lemmesay, to linuxmemes in I love vim
@lemmesay@discuss.tchncs.de avatar

explanation for the command ci":
c: change. analogous to delete(d) followed by insert(i)
i: inside
": the double quote
so, it’s basically change inside double quote(easier to remember as it sounds exactly what it does).
you can similarly do di((delete inside parenthesis).

an inferior alternative on vscodium would be shift + alt + right/left arrow

ExLisper,

What about yi’'?

lemmesay,
@lemmesay@discuss.tchncs.de avatar

that also works. thought users would figure that out.

WhosMansIsThis, to linuxmemes in I love vim

I can see you’re a person of culture.

Shit, I barely remebered :q to exit the damn thing 😂.

lemmesay,
@lemmesay@discuss.tchncs.de avatar

opening vim and hitting every key on a keyboard to exit it makes for a strong password.

Ooops,
@Ooops@kbin.social avatar

You just type ZZ... then the program assumes you fell asleep trying to exit and stops.

kubica,
@kubica@kbin.social avatar

q, q, q, Esc, Esc, Esc, q, q, Esc, Esc, q:, q:, asdf, asdf, asdf, Esc, Esc, Alt+F4

0x4E4F,

Yep, exactly like that when I first opened Vi/Vim 🤣.

TheInsane42,
@TheInsane42@lemmy.world avatar

Nop, not here. (BTW that was in '89)

However when opening emacs in '94 I opened an xterm to kill it (on IRIX).

akincisor,

Y’all motherfuckers need vimtutor
