Collaborate Disseminate
The ways in which we interact with computers has changed dramatically over the decades. From flipping switches on the control panels of room-sized computers, to punching holes into cards, to …read more Continue reading On Vim, Modal Interfaces and the Way We Interact With Computers
Vim is the greatest or the worst text editor of all time, depending on the tribe you’re in. Either way, members of both camps can appreciate this build from [Chris …read more Continue reading Footpedal Ups Vim Productivity, Brings Ergonomic Benefits
Older readers and those with an interest in retrocomputing may remember the days when a computer might well have booted into a BASIC interpreter. It was simultaneously a general purpose …read more Continue reading Self-Hosted Pi Pico Development
Diehard text editor users everywhere breathed a sigh of relief this week as the open source community fixed a bug in one of the most venerable *nix programs: Vim. Continue reading Vim devs fix system-pwning text editor bug
If you grew up with Unix systems like we did, you’ll be sorry to hear the news: vi, the noble text editor that has served us so well these 40 years, is going away — from many GNU/Linux systems, anyway. As of this writing, GNU/Linux Mint, Debian, Ubuntu, and OpenSUSE …read more
Geralt of Rivia is a perfect fit for the Soulcaliber franchise. Continue reading Geralt From ‘The Witcher’ Is in ‘Soulcalibur VI’ So Now I Guess I Have to Buy a Fighting Game
Linux users–including the ones at the Hackaday underground bunker–tend to fall into two groups: those that use vi and those that use emacs. We aren’t going to open that debate up again, but we couldn’t help but notice a new item on GitHub that potentially negates one of the biggest complaints non-vi users have, at least for vim which is the most common variant of vi in use on most modern systems.

I know what you’re thinking, Node.js is server-side right? Not exactly. It turns out many client-side applications have embedded Node.js. And its not always updated to the latest version.

If you use Linux, Unix, or anything similar, you are probably at least aware of the violence surrounding this argument. Windows users aren’t immune, although fewer of them know the details. If you aren’t familiar with these two programs, they are–in a way–text editors. …read more
