cat file.txt | grep foo is unnecessary and a bit less efficient, because you can do grep foo file.txt instead. More generally, using cat into a pipe is less efficient than redirecting the file into stdin with <, like grep foo < file.txt.

I mean, among people that use terminals, it’s very normal. Commonplace, even.

Because that’s a perfectly normal and reasonable thing to do?

Parents aren’t doing this. It’s purely a move by the elite to tighten the grip of the surveillance state, using the guise of “protecting the children” to absolve themselves of any scrutiny.

That’s why vim is so great: it has a ton of power built right into it without customizations, and it’s already installed on basically any unix-like system. Unlike, say, vscode, it can do a ton of stuff out of the box without any plugins at all.

It’s a tool with a medium-high skill floor and incredibly high skill ceiling. It rewards investment and is something that is able to accommodate one’s growth in skills rather than holding them back with limitations like typical editors do. Its built-in scripting is a big part of that and is something that really sets it apart from editors like vscode. And it’s much, much faster and lighter weight/less memory-intensive than other editors.

It’s not as big of a deal as you might think. You still have a lot of your muscle memory from regular keyboards. It might take a little while to adjust when switching between the two, but it’s not that bad.

If you switch between the two enough, you can actually type on both equally well.

A lot of mechanical keyboards these days are programmable using QMK Firmware. I actually use https://www.caniusevia.com/ instead though, which uses (a subset of) QMK under the hood but allows programming the keyboard via a Web app on the fly.

For my layout, I have the standard QWERTY layout for the unmodified layer (layer 0, holding no keys). Then I can hold down a thumb key for switching to a different layer, which has things like symbols, F1-F12, Home, End, etc. The layout I use isn’t too far off the default Iris layout, just a few tweaks here and there (like one that allows me to hold a key for control, or tap that key for escape).

Vim has an entire dedicated scripting language built right into the editor and accessible while editing.

Even without plugins, sometimes certain things can be too slow and you want to stop them.

Ctrl-C absolutely should not exit. There’s plenty of times you want it in vim to interrupt something in the editor.

As others have said, it’s on the screen if you open vim without a file. Otherwise, it’s a tool for people that bother to learn how to use it. As someone who has been using it daily for the last 10 years, I would find it incredibly obnoxious to have a bunch of useless screen clutter telling me basic things that are easily learned.

It’s simply muscle memory. You think of the action and your fingers do it faster than you can consciously think of where they need to go. But I also use a split ergonomic keyboard (the Iris) and have symbols accessible from home row behind a layer. Though I can switch to a standard keyboard as needed too.

Been using it for all of my software development for the last 10 years. It’s fantastic.

Nope, we call it master. The hand-wringing over the name was and still is absolutely asinine.

Yep, that’s exactly what we do, and it tends to work. Can take a bit for some foods and sometimes he’s just really into just one thing right now, but overall it’s much better than trying to force feed him broccoli or whatever.

It’s not bullshit. Research shows that kids need multiple exposures to new foods before they’re willing to accept them. It’s important to keep offering foods a child has refused before (without pressuring them to eat them, by the way).

It’s not performative. Research shows that kids can need 8-10 or more exposures to a new food before they’re willing to accept it. It’s important to keep offering foods even if they’ve refused it before.

I’ve personally seen this effect with my 2 year old son. Had absolutely no interest in noodles of any kind for a long time, yet we kept offering them, and one day he decided to try them and loved them. In fact, most new foods he eats are a similar story.

SJWs

2012 called, they want their “insult” back. What a joke.

Sounds like a pretty legitimate question.

We didn’t circumcise our son. It’s a barbaric practice and you shouldn’t do it. There’s absolutely no good reason to mutilate a child’s genitals, and it’s abhorrent that it’s so commonly practiced.
