Hey, I've discovered this incredible new development environment!

It consists of a conversational "window", called a "shell", and a set of windows for editing, called "editors" (or `ed` for short). The windows might be rendered as separate boxes on screen, or switch in a single screen with `screen`.

When you have your source ed-ited, you `make` it into a program!

You don't have to fight with V, X, Y, or Zcode! You just manage your files in the same conversational shell!
#ed #shell #stopxcode

Advanced Programming in the Unix Environment

Tool Tip: ed(1) is the standard text editor

As part of our discussion of unix development tools, we take a short detour to provide a quick walkthrough of ed(1), the standard text editor. This is not done merely to up your geek creds, but understanding ed(1) will also helps us better understand other tools like vi(1), sed(1), and ultimately even things like diff(1) and patch(1) better.

#apue #unix #programming #ed

Y'all, I created an #ed(1) monster:

!echo "HELLO" > hello.txt
E hello.txt
p
s/.*/p\
s|.*|p\\\
s;.*;p\\\\\\\
Q\\\\\\\
;\\\
,w !ed %\\\
Q\\\
|\
,w !ed %\
Q\
/
,w !ed %
Q

It's a script that
- Prints contents of a file, then
- Rewrites them to a script that
- Prints contents of a file, and then
- Rewrites them to a scripts that
- Prints contents of a file, and then
- Rewrites them to a script that
- Prints the contents of a file
- And then exits.

And who said that metaprogramming is not possible outside #Lisp? (No one, actually.)

Y a ni "pari" ni "hasard", ils plongent juste dans l' #ED (et c'est pas moi qui irais les repêcher. Qu'ils coulent avec leur fascisme).

Right! I forgot! I just published a new #blogpost, "Line-based #Lisp Editing"! It's about my desperation for an #ed(1)-editable Lisp and the ways I cope with this gloom.

Ca me trotte dans la tête, je n'en parle pas, peur de faire trop dans le drama, mais... Ce qui me plombe aussi dans le boulot, c'est que je m'interroge très fort, viscéralement, sur ce que je ferai si il y a un gvt ouvertement d'extrême droite. Que fait-on qd on travaille pour l'Etat et que cet Etat est d' #ED ? Reste-t-on pour préserver ce qu'on peut ? Se barre-t-on parce qu'on ne veut pas collaborer ?
Est-ce que des gens ici partagent cette réflexion avec moi ?

If you like #ed, #toot may be for you. It's a #CLI Mastodon client. It's #TUI supports rendering images in various ways, e.g. when using #WezTerm toot tui -f iterm looks like this:

Small but mighty news for UNIX fans:
GNU ed 1.22 is out! Now you can filter specific line ranges through shell commands directly in ed, ex(1)-style:

1,10!sort

Recently started learning #morsecode , although it's completely useless to me. Sometimes it helps to understand why things developed like they did when you go back in time, when remote communication started. And I love having a #lowtech fallbacks.

It's like learning #ed in order to understand concepts of #vim.

Already read the book twice 🙂

Update. "The federal Department of Education [ #ED] maintains an open access database of more than 2 million documents [Education Resources Information Center, #ERIC] dating back to the 1960s. It will cease operating Wednesday due to #DOGE cuts."

PS: I use many sources in my attempt to stay on top of what's happening with #OpenAccess, #OpenScience, #OpenEducation, and so on. ERIC has been one of the stalwarts.
