A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

More fun with VIM, it only takes six key strokes to save and quit.

Totally. If you don’t know the vi basics and you’re stuck in some state of disrepair or emergency, you’re going to have a much worse time getting things sorted :)

I much prefer gui editor with all the frills for complex coding. But the guy I’m working with right now, it’s vim all the way for him and honestly he’s about as fast as I am at most things.
