What is the source of this?
Show threadshalafiDec 22
Gran Torino.
Show threadns1Dec 22
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)
Show threadExLisperDec 23
I liked the movie when I saw it years ago but thinking about it know it is an incredibly self-masturbatory boomer fantasy.
Show threadtoynbeeDec 23
Thanks!

But, but over 3 billion devices run Java!
Show threadpsudDec 29
I don’t think you want to run on all of those devices. I think you probably only want to run on your machine and your other machine

I don’t know they were even around still. That’s cute, good for them.

Helix and Vim/NeoVim? Muscle memory is overrated anyways.
Show threadExLisperDec 22
He installed Helix last year and will try it out soon. Any day now…
Show threadTriangleSpecialistDec 22
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. 😬

Show threadTriangleSpecialistDec 22
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…
Show threaddohpaz42Dec 22

Oh god. That is so me. Always with the “if only” mentality. If only ________ then I could do ________.

And of course, it never gets done. 😅

Legit thought it was just going to be a wall of text editors and nothing else
Show threadAgrivarDec 22
Why does it start with Men? Did you mean to put “man” there, or do you think only dudes collect tools?
Show threadExLisperDec 22

Because my english no good :(

Fixed it, thanks.

Looks more like a Linux. Unixers have a greater sense of cleanness.
Show threadpsudDec 29
I don’t think you can tell a Linux from a Unix. Though in general unixes are tidier, there are Linux users with Unix style and habits that will break the style
Show threadrhabarbaDec 29
Which one?
Show threadpsudDec 30

I’m not sure what you’re asking which of. I might have not worded the last part of my comment unambiguously

To rewrite:

I don’t think you can tell Linux from a Unix by looking at it reliably. Though in general unixes are tidier, there are Linux users that are just as tidy and keep their system just like a Unix one

The fun thing about this meme is that the film showed SGI’s fsn file manager running on IRIX.
Show threadtermaximaDec 22
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 !
Show threadExLisperDec 22
So you’re saying I should add Emacs there?
Show threadbitcrafterDec 23
Nah, presumably the developer already has an operating system and just needs a text editor.
Show threadCelestialMittensDec 22
He could replace all of that with just Emacs
