Steve Lindsay@matthewburton oooo those engineers are definitely going to find your capitalisation of "eMacs" triggering and as a #vi guy that brings me joy 🙂
@steeeeeve that was autocorrect!
@matthewburton probably because of these guys https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/EMac ?
Jeff McAdams@matthewburton I truly believe the networking industry would be in a better place today had Ethernet never been invented.
@jeffm interesting. Teach me more?
@matthewburton It's like systems and software would not have been routinely developed to take advantage of the network lazily and opportunistically learning where endpoints are and would have had to develop the ability (protocols) to authoritatively tell the network where endpoints are.
So many of the biggest challenges in networking derive from trying to, 5 decades later, emulate putting a frame on a coax cable.
Systems need to quit assuming a common later 2 network.
Dullatip@matthewburton Which "vi"? The one with "hjkl" or the one with "LEFT," "UP," "DOWN," or "RIGHT"?
Dave C.@matthewburton OMG, the reactions I get when I pull up code in emacs while sharing my screen. Some people reactively give me grief because that is what we do. Some people claim to be watching magic since they never learned it and I navigate and edit code via muscle memory. I can do vi too but emacs feels more like an extension of myself.
