My wife got prescribed Ambien a few weeks ago. She took one, completely forgot about it, and 45 minutes later had a glass of wine with me while watching Taskmaster.
She then became convinced that she was actually on the show and went around the house asking me to time her doing random stuff. Th next morning she had zero memory and was floored when I showed her the video.
Random question… RPI, in my jargon, stands for role-play intensive, and it’s a category of MUD engines… are you working on such a project? Because I’m probably in the commit history, and that’d tickle me.
Today’s stupid question: are vim and neovim not the same thing? I just type vi (ancient habit) and use whatever it is that executes. (I can go search but interacting here is more fun lol)
Yeah, it doesn’t make a lot of sense. People talk about “when Linus dies”, and obviously that will be devastating, but in my mind Bram just was. I wish I’d made a point of meeting him, or at least sending him an email to say thanks. Not for vim specifically, though I will probably use it until my fingers quit working. As with countess others, Bram inspired me to learn about ICCF Holland, and from there I had the privilege of supporting a child in Uganda through school. That’s what I’d want to thank him for. And vim.
Neovim is a fork of Vim. It uses Lua for configuration instead of the original Vim’s VimScript, but still has a lot of interoperability with original Vim plugins and configuration options.
Neovim is better in many ways, and because it has lua support, it’s so much easier to write plugins for it. So there are thousands of plugins right now, and entire neovim distributions that are configured to work like an IDE, like Lazyvim for example.
I’m a huge fan and I have written plugins myself since it’s easy and rewarding.
But on the server, I don’t bother installing neovim. Ordinary vim is fine for simple editing tasks. But if you want a customized experience to replace VS Code on your computer, you want neovim and not vim.
If you have a common folder that you clone projects to (like OP’s ~/coding), then that checkbox lets you trust that whole folder easily when this pop up comes up.
I have a coding folder “repos”. It’s on a remote machine though and I get this every time I connect to my code folder using a new remote host. So annoying!
