• What are your regex tricks?

  I really liked Mastering Regular Expressions by Jeffrey Friedl. He goes in depth on what they are (with a bit of FSA background) and how a regex engine works. It helps conceptualize what's going on and how to know what your specific regex library is doing. Does that matter all that much? Not necessarily, but it's good to know things like whether or not your regex can blow in time complexity due to back tracking or... - Source: Hacker News / 9 days ago

• DNA Crossword

  I love the less maniacal version of this https://regexcrossword.com/. Really useful for anyone who wants to get a little better at regex without hating themselves. Source: about 1 year ago

• Is regex as hard as it looks?

  I used to have to look up regexes every time I needed to use them, but I was able to learn them pretty quickly with O'Reilly's Mastering Regular Expressions. Highly recommend that book plus https://regexcrossword.com/ for practice interpreting other people's expressions. Source: about 1 year ago

• regular Vim has lua?!

  Lua is quite small, encouraging distros to include it. The ubuntu gvim has, and the gvim AppImage linked from vim.org does. The default Makefile from github is set up to not include it, but you can uncomment one line there to get it. Source: over 1 year ago

• is there a way to make highlighted text persistent after quit when using something like [match Search /\%'.line('.').'l/] ?

  I've not used vimwiki locally (tho I'm old enough to remember the Vim wiki on vim.org :), but I think what you are wanting to do is extend vimwiki's syntax file. I presume it installs one at $VIMRUNTIM/syntax or or ~/.vim/syntax. If this sounds right, then create a ~/.vim/after/syntax/vimwiki.vim file and place your match command in there. Then everytime you open a vimwiki file it should apply your... Source: over 1 year ago

• vim.org - Is there a reason for this 1800s-esque design?

  Vim.org has 242k total visitors, tailwindcss.com has 4.4m, planetscale.com has 412k, jpl.nasa.gov has 2.6m, all built with Tailwind, all several years younger than Vim's website. Unnecessary comparison, unnecessary defence. It's a valuable tool, fine, but a complete disregard for anyone who doesn't love a crappy website and would like to navigate a website like a normal human is not something to be defended. Maybe...

• What is YOUR process of writing ?

  I write in Vim with some customizations in my vimrc to gear it more towards prose writing than code editing. It's not pretty, but Normal Mode and Ex commands are the most powerful text editing tools out there, so that means I spend less time on making corrections and other edits. Source: over 2 years ago
