The history of both Vi & Vim goes hand in hand with the history of open-source software itself. This article is a trip back to the origins of UNIX text editors. Let's look at the important players and historical events that shaped their evolution. I went to East London last week to visit my wife's alma mater, Queen Mary University. As I stopped to grab a cup of coffee, I received a message saying that Bram Moolenaar, the creator of Vim, had passed. To be honest, with a new family member keepin

While the president's top henchman's businesses are somewhat insulated thanks to a strong manufacturing presence in the United States, Musk's ambitions to turn Tesla into the "most valuable company in the world" by focusing on autonomous driving and robotics could be thwarted by flatlining international t

Swapping large language models (LLMs) is supposed to be easy, isn’t it? After all, if they all speak “natural language,” switching from GPT-4o to Claude or Gemini should be as simple as changing an API key… right? In reality, each model interprets and responds to prompts differently, making the transition anything but seamless. Enterprise teams who treat model switching as a “plug-and-play” operation often grapple with unexpected regressions: broken outputs, ballooning token costs or shifts in

How Janet's PEG module works In making Janet, I was inspired by the REBOL Parse module and LPeg to include a versatile library for parsing text and any sequence of bytes based on Parsing Expression Grammars, or PEGs. I was also willing to exclude other forms of parsing tools such as regular expressions from the core library, as PEGs are more general than regular expression, or easier to read, and can capture error locations when matching text.
