You are actually correct. I just checked the manifest of RHEL and it provides vim-minimal and not vi like I assumed.

I noticed that it behaves a bit different than the version available on AIX for example which for sure uses real vi, but I never gave it a second thought. Interesting.

None of the tools are really made for the most trivial use cases though. Although it doesn't take much effort to set everything up in a simple project I would probably also skip most of it. But this discussion about tiny one off projects is kinda pointless as you don't have many of the problems to solve anyway.

I implemented a reddit frontend (kiosk mode) a while back using only vanilla JS for fun, because a previous implementation by someone else broke. There was not really a point though as it wasn't even simpler than using the proper tools. It was just for the hell of it, but nowhere close to a "real" project.

No. If you have vim installed that's true on many (some?) systems. As I said some distros have vi available, but not vim which is the annoying part.

There is not really anything to learn. It is just lacking some useful features and shortcuts which make it slower to use. It's still much better than nothing.

Usually my biggest issue is that I am so used to write vim over vi. At least for small edits.

And the simple answer is no. You can remove a layer here and there, but this is what the modern dev environment looks like.

I mean sure you can implement all that yourself and carry all the extra cognitive load, but it is not productive to even skip babel or so. There is no point, but the challenge.

Of course it is a bit more complicated to pick the right tools and you don't have to use everything, but that's a whole different discussion.

I am surprised that vi is often available, but not vim. It's really annoying on many RHEL based distros, because I am so used to typing vim. Otherwise there is just git I deem essential.

Oh, is it Origin? I never tried a game using that on my Steam Deck.

Knowing that it will work is great though. I think I will pick it up.

Thank you for the great answer!

Has anyone tried it with a docked Steam Deck and two controllers connected? Does it work well in local coop?

I might pick this up to play with my partner.

Don't use "user" as your username. Use a personalized one, because it is much easier to identify and obviously it is a requirement in a multi user context.

If you share your logs pseudonymize them, but pick anything other than "user", because it makes it confusing especially when dealing with pam, ssh etc.

Overall not great advise.

You always have linter steps, testing etc and a competent developer should be able to deal with all that. Of course you don't start with all this with new students, but I don't think that is what this post is about.

That's fine. The problem lies in talking about their works which might encourage others to buy the books or merchandise etc. Unfortunately the best result would be if the work and the author would be forgotten, but that's unlikely to happen. So at least when talking about the works it should never be omitted that the author is a horrible person who abuses her influence to hurt other people.

Hence I disagree with the take. This way around the work should not be separated from the creator, because popularizing it is enabling even if you won't consume any more than what you already have, others might.

Why though? I think I am missing the point, but I don't see the problem with having a build step in your projects. Especially for frontend it is not just JavaScript, but things like Sass/SCSS to consider etc.
