VIM

Been using VIM all weekend. Makes me a much faster typer, lol. Really once you learn and really memorize the key presses on the keyboard it’s hard to back. Add appropriate plugins like word completion and settings like syntax coloring and line numbering, master working with tabs and your golden.

I’ve turned in VIM mode in RStudio too. Once you learn it, it’s awesome. Editing is so fast as you rarely leave the core keys on your keyboard, except maybe for the escape key – and that’s the less used left hand. Going to try Vibreoffice plugin tomorrow to add a VIM mode to Libre Office.

How big can you go? πŸ’Ύ

The largest data unit supported by GNU coreutils is currently quebibytes which is 2^100 bytes, or roughly 1,267,650,600,228,229,334,133,120 megabytes or 1,152,921,504,606,846,976 terrabytes. Ignoring the rounding errors of floating point calculations.

They estimate there is 44 zetabytes of electronic data in the world currently. One quebibyte is 24.4 million times larger than all then all digital data that currently exists in the world.
