This would make more sense with Emacs /ducks

NGL this was my first thought, and I don't even use Emacs!

For those who haven't seen this amazing interview:

[-] Dave2@lemmy.blahaj.zone 11 points 1 day ago

what sort of honoric is et al, does it make you plural?

[-] sunoc@sh.itjust.works 10 points 1 day ago

no no McS. et al., PhD is mf actual family name. Trying a bit too hard to get a great academic career.

[-] Tangent5280@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

In case you're not being sarcastic, et al is a shortening that means "among others" - usually authors of academic papers are clubbed together like this. In this context it is more like, "among other educational qualifications"

[-] Dave2@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 1 day ago

While that does make sense, I think I'll stick to thinking they're plural.

Vim -> Emacs

[-] thomasloven@lemmy.world 14 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

One night there was a storm, and Master Wq’s house collapsed. The next morning he began to build it again using his old tools. His novice came to help him, and they built for a while and were making good progress. As they worked, the novice began to tell Master Wq of his latest accomplishments.

“Master, I have developed a wonderful Vim script to give all sorts of useful information about a document. It counts the words, the sentences, the paragraphs, and even tells you what kind of document it is using the syntax highlighting rules. I use it in my pipelines all the time. It is a thing of beauty, and I am very proud. Truly, Vim is the greatest tool!”

Master Wq did not reply. Thinking he had unwittingly angered his master, the novice fell silent and continued his work.

The novice finished aligning two beams and had positioned a nail ready for beating into the wood, but found the hammer was out of reach.

“Would you pass me the hammer, master?”

Master Wq handed the novice a saw.

At once, the novice was enlightened.

You surely mean Emacs, no?

[-] ICastFist@programming.dev 5 points 1 day ago

He tried to, but couldn't enter edit mode to type it out

[-] exu@feditown.com 163 points 2 days ago

You used the wrong icon. It should be emacs

[-] ozymandias117@lemmy.world 212 points 2 days ago

Yeah, emacs makes way more sense for this one

The only thing emacs is missing is a text editor

[-] meekah@lemmy.world 48 points 2 days ago

That actually made me laugh out loud. Well done

[-] Quill7513@slrpnk.net 44 points 2 days ago

oh man. all the old jokes are new again. shit, am i basically a dad now?

[-] JoMiran@lemmy.ml 33 points 2 days ago

Vi vs EMACS jokes are well within grandpa territory now. Sorry.

This would be more believable with eMacs tbh

[-] hexagonwin@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 1 day ago

Gotta run vim under emacs eshell

[-] BeigeAgenda@lemmy.ca 82 points 2 days ago

Sounds like vim is aspiring to be Emacs.

You can tell it's legit, because it says Vi.

Most powerful "text editor" you can imagine inside a command line interface. It has unlimited super wild keyboard shortcuts and people on the internet make fun about it, that the only way to exit vim is by turning off the machine, because they don't know the shortcut.

[-] iveseenthat@reddthat.com 11 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Vim is a sorry excuse of Emacs. Which is the editor made in and for the language of God, Lisp

Of course theres a relevant XKCD

[-] mlg@lemmy.world 14 points 1 day ago

This would be funnier if it were emacs since that's the one that has a metric ton of plugins for all of these

This feels like a meme a vim user would make about emacs being bloated

[-] Lazycog@sopuli.xyz 54 points 2 days ago

I know it's a classic but confused how I'm supposed to use Vim to send an email

Already got my Vim, any tips?

"YESS! YESSSSS! GIVE IN TO YOUR EMACS SIDE!!!"

Google Search really sucks these days. I can't find any images of Richard M. Stallman as a Sith lord, even though I'm sure vi fans have made several edits by now. ...It's been a while.
