Hi everyone - remember to visit my community channel to give me suggestions on new videos to do and to stay up to date with everything that i'm working on: kzread.infocommunity

I have been a vim user for more than a decade and a half and I was still blown away by this talk. Very organized, visual. From now on, this is my goto recommendation for all the newcomers to vim.

Hi all, I've started to prepare for a talk on OAuth that will ideally be as visual, hands-on, and comprehensive as this one. I want to thank everyone for the wonderful praise and feedback this video received. But more importantly, what other software-related topics would you want to be covered? Be as general or as specific as you'd like. Let me know by replying to this comment!

Hi Leeren, this was a great talk. I've used vim for years and have never heard of many of the things you've mentioned here. Is there anyway you could post the slides? Also, for your question.. a software-related topic I'd be interested in is parallelization. Which types of programs are good candidates for parallelization? How would one go about parallelizing code with either python, javascript, etc. (whichever language you're most comfortable in)?

@leeren_

4 жыл бұрын

​@@DannyPhantumm​ Apologies but the slides are no longer with me. My next Vim talk will definitely include them. Parallelization and multithreading is a great topic. I'll definitely put that down for the future. Exploring differences between Go, Javascript, and Python and the differences between how they tackle concurrency and parallelism is something that needs way more coverage. E.g. for concurrency, how does Node.js' Event Loop (based on the Reactor pattern) differ from Go's goroutines (based on Communicating Sequential Processes) or Python's greenlets? And under what context is parallelism beneficial, how do you use it effectively, and to what degree can it be useful (i.e. Ahmdal's law)? Thanks for the excellent suggestion. As a backend focused person, these are all problems I wish there were more visual resources for. I'll give it a shot in the future.

The thing that have been holding me back the most is sublimes excellent project management. And I thought the only way to get close with vim was to use tmux (which i don't want to use), your explanation of buffers/windows/jumplist changed that opinion.

I use FZF for finding and opening files, but now I realize vim's built-in, find, sf, gf are as powerful if not more. @Leeren, I hope you produce more videos like this. This was really eye-opening.

It would be very awesome if I know how to call a plugin form a folder which I already downloaded and have it transfered to my bundle folder when in use and when not in use it would revert or transfer it back where it the plugin folder was called, I am doing this to have my vim editor run fast cause, vimrc are usually bloated because of alot of plugins being used, and only 10% of them is being applied for a certain project :)

_GOD_ I love surfingkeys. It is so underrated. I prefer using h and l to change tabs left and right since left and right scroll is basically useless. I also added grabbing all text by div, p etc instead of having to bother with a highlighter (much more work to do there to improve specificity), and finally, incorporating localStorage into everything for long term saving and having extra clipboards. Now I'm adding in a bunch of shortcuts to change stylings on any page, blowing up the text or changing colors and fonts, saving those changes in localstorage. Also, a vim editor is always available to you for typing (I'm typing this in a vim window now). Surfingkeys is an improvement on an improvement on vimium.
