Comment on RAM is so expensive that stores are selling it at market prices
HereIAm@lemmy.world 9 hours agoWhat? You might want to proof read that. The only thing I got from your text is that text editors load an entire file into memory, which has been the case for decades unless you go with a special purpose editor.

Holy crap, and these people think they have right to talk about computers.
You can have a 12G text file, logs, suppose, you are going to load the entire file into memory? And you think it’s normal?
You might want to proof read that.
I think you might want to put more effort into reading. This seems to be your weak side.
I can’t load a stress how bad your proofreading is. Don’t blame that on others.
So in how many languages do you write, and in which of them do you write better than I sometimes do in English? Other than your first one.
No, buddy. English is also not my first language and you write like shit. You’re also an asshole about it, have a victim complex and are a hypocrite. You’re just an all around shitty human being.
So you bring out “this is my second language” after telling someone else “you might want to put more effort into reading”. No, that does not fly. You put “sorry, English is my second language” first. Lashing out like that is not a good look.
You can load a can’t stress how good planetary map into RAM wholly
This is the part people are struggling with, because it’s probably 3 difference sentences mashed together, whether in your head, by your fingers or by an autocarrot, but regardless its completely incomprehensible as a result
Ah. OK. So I speak a language, where such constructions are a bit more normal, except commas and dashes are used more generously, and synthetic grammar helps.
“You can fit a (can’t stress how good) planetary map into RAM wholly” might be a bit better? Anyway. OK, they’re struggling. They are choosing a weird way to inform me of what.
Side thoughts in the middle of sentences are definitely weird in written form. Heck they get messy in spoken form too! Some punctuation to help the reader understand what’s being communicated can go a long way, and in the format of a forum discussion where folks will quickly tap out a brain fart from a 5" slab of plastic and glass, when I see what appear to be multiple sentences mashed together into one incoherent one, I’ll generally assume it’s a writing error, because folks don’t proof read, they aren’t writing literature with multiple drafts. They’re just quickly jotting down a thought or two and somethimes errors compound with that level of quick communication
You really should put more effort into proofreading.
I’m altering the rules
Holy crap, and these people think they have right to talk about computers.
By your own logic, considering how you wrote your first comment, you should not have the right to talk at all
just read it again lmao
No, and you are not an authority on my own logic.
That is commonly referred to as beeing a hypocrite
Are you regularly opening up 12 gig log files in a text editor? Personally I’d use something like elasticsearch or less/grep for a local file.
It’s convenient to keep positions of many things, have marks, make comparisons. Ideally have multiple windows looking at the same file.
You can have a 12G text file, logs, suppose, you are going to load the entire file into memory?
That’s actually done via journalctl today, most of the time.
Yes, that’s very nice when you are already storing that something in a database. I said “suppose”.

One data point: emacs normally loads the whole file, unless you’re using the vlf package or similar.

Ed and sed don’t load the entire file in, but vim does. Not heard of TECO before 😄

TECO’s kinda-sorta emacs’s parent in sorta the same way that ed kinda-sorta is vim’s parent.
I compiled and tried out a Linux port the other day due to a discussion on editors we were having on the Threadiverse, so was ready to mind. Similar interface to
ed, also designed to run on teletypes.
