    and when something isn’t available in vim, just use the built-in terminal to access it

    “What are you trying to tell me? What I can quit vim?”
    “No, Neo. I’m trying to tell you that when you’re ready, you won’t have to.”

    Panel 1: You want to write a program? Use vim.

    Panel 2: [logos of matplotlib, pandas, and R] Need to process scientific data? Also vim.

    Panel 3: [LaTeX logo] Writing a report about that data? Vim.

    Panel 4: [OpenSCAD, CadQuery logos] 3D modeling? Believe it or not, straight to vim.

      When I was programming around 1990, we used VI, not VIM, and there was this rivalry with the emacs people. It was like one of those “Windows vs Mac”, “iOS vs Android” things but with UNIX text editors. Glad to see, 30+ years later, VI(M) people and emacs people are able to reconcile their differences :)

      Now I feel bad to have moved to other editors over the years, nowadays VSCode :P

    Vscode is the way to go. I know how to use vim, I just find it a hassle. Been using Linux for over 20 years by now, man, time flies…

      You can do 3D modeling with OpenSCAD, which uses plaintext files as source code for 3D models. So yes, you can edit these .scad files with vim. If you then want to compile and preview your model, you can just open the official OpenSCAD editor and close the text pane. It’ll automatically watch the file you’re editing for changes, compile it, and give you a preview of the model that you can rotate and move around.

      The other software mentioned in the last panel is cadquery. It’s a Python library for creating 3d models. But it’s much slower and buggier than OpenSCAD, and, in my opinion, less intuitive.

    Wtf is there a reddit like banner at the bottom? Is this really a thing we gonna do? There is barely such thing as orginal content these days. when it comes to memes and “ownership” it is a ridiculous concept Considering there is nothing to “profit” off of. Karma on Reddit was meaningless and it doesn’t even exist here.

    And the last point that is maybe valid is it brings attention to the specific community and lemmy. But i can promise you ppl will be more interested organically than they ever will be by an eyesore of a banner. Shit just linking to the original post is better for getting someone to the site and potentially getting them to sign up.

    And the banner just straight up on the post. Shit is stupid and i hope i dont see it more places on lemmy.
