That link includes documentation for building and running F# projects using only the .net core framework. Seems like the main set of headings is misleading, making it sound like you must install VS or (shudder) VSCode to get F# installed.
MacVim is a great compromise between vim and standard Mac behaviour (like mapping the standard app shortcuts everyone expects). They keep their bundled vim version updated pretty well too. I haven't got any complaints about it (though I do still tend to run vim in the terminal out of habit), like I do with gVim on Windows.
With a 64-bit address space, you're probably better off just mapping the entire file into memory, not specifically loading it all. Let the OS swap in and out the pieces you need as you access it (and build your index of line offsets or whatever other structures you need).
The big advantage to mapping is that you only read from disk the portions of the file you need, and only when you need them. Disk access is monumentally slow, so this can be a big win: if you don’t need to access all of a large file, or don’t need to access it all at once, mapping saves you very expensive operations or spreads them out over time.
The problem with that for a text editor is that probably the first thing you want to do is process the line endings. So you’re just going to access the entire file, right away, as fast as possible anyway.
So mapping doesn’t really give an advantage in this case.
In keyboard preferences > modifier keys, remap so that alt is cmd and win/logo is option. I do this on several non-laptop Macs and it feels right enough.
I moved to debian testing on my home machine after Windows 11 left the worst taste in my mouth, and I can confirm the multi-monitor support (at least out of the box) is shockingly bad even without Nvidia. I've been pleased with some things, irritated by others. As far as I'm concerned, macOS is still the closest to a great desktop environment, but just like politicians ALL operating systems suck.
Of course, I didn't write a rant article about switching to Linux because I'm sure a lot of problems stem from my own lack of experience. I wish this author had recognised the same thing.
Now I'm scared of two things.
1) Netflix will start using product-placement in their original shows to boost revenue.
2) They're already doing this and I just haven't noticed.
I'm confused by stories like this. I've installed both Windows 10 and 11 recently, and never had to create a Microsoft account for either one. It felt a bit like going to the old toilet with "beware of the leopard" on the door, but the option was there. Never had to forcibly disconnect the network, just repeatedly confirm that I really wanted the "limited experience". (Better yet, create an online account!)
Is there a difference between countries or architectures or something? Are they serving a different pile of bullshit to Americans thinking they're already numb to this kind of crap?
Setup a new laptop for someone (early this year I think?) with the semi-preinstalled Win10 and I absolutely had to disconnect from wifi before I could use a local account. Maybe a secret key combo exists but I don't know it).
Been about two years since I installed it clean from an USB stick, so I don't remember if it was the same there.
