I had been programming on DOS, MS-Windows, OS/2, MacOS and TSO/ISPF for years. I had no Unix background at the time and the idea of a modal editor was completely foreign to me. The first time I used vi, I had to power off the computer to get out of it. Vim is as tiny as you like or as huge as you like thanks to the addon capabilities.īut, someone who thinks they've been hacked might think vim was part of that hack if they didn't know any better. But I've never seen notepad on any router. Trying to use it will just send you screaming from your keyboard and running for the tranquilizers.Īll true. Given that you are inquiring about a Windows notepad clone, I can confidently say that Vi/Vim is not in the running. ![]() I consider myself a Linux power user and I cannot get used to it. The only point that I will contest is that of TheFu's. Combined with the use of the aforementioned multiplexer and such delicate surgery can even be done quite safely. Moreover, getting used to command line editors has further benefits: it has allowed me to remotely edit configuration files in distant servers that have no graphical user interface. Mind you, nothing like this has happened for going on 10 years, but I'd rather be safe than sorry. I don't want the file to be left in a corrupted state should the graphical environment go down. I use this strategy when I am working on critical system files. Another example of superior Linux versatility, safety and power. You could even kill your graphical session on purpose and not have your editing session compromised. If you run graphical editors like gedit or mousepad, then in the event your GUI dies they will die just as completely as notepad does when Windows crashes.īut if you first launch a command line multiplexer like screen or tmux and then run a purely command line editor like nano within it, then even if your graphical environment crashes, you can almost always reattach to the multiplexer session without losing your work. I just had to relaunch the graphical environment without having to reboot or even logout/login. On the few occasions when my graphical environment has crashed, I have found that that foundation was still fine. In contrast, in the Linux world, the whole graphical environment is just a pretty dress that rests on top of a much more solid foundation. You have no choice but to reboot and mourn the work that is now just scattered electrons. In the Windows world, when Windows crashes, all is lost. While I can't say that notepad in and of itself has crashed on me, it has died and lost my unsaved work when Windows itself crashed. But let me try instead to address the context behind your question. ![]() I have nothing to add to those good suggestions. When London switched to natural gas and electricity, the smog decreased and now if you re-run the experiment, there is no change in the need for nitrogen regardless of season.Others have answered you directly and given you some alternatives. Research done at Kew in those days worked its way into old gardening books. The smog was so heavy in nitrous oxides and various sulfur oxides that rain washed enough nitrogen into the soils that during the heating season no nitrogen was necessary to fertilize London gardens. In fact the old screwed up idea of a low nitrogen, high phosphorous fertilizer need in autumn, came from 1850's to 1890's London, where all the homes were heated with coal. Nitrogen can also come from air pollution. Rain will wash significant amounts of sulfur out of the air onto our bonsai pots and supply much of the sulfur our trees need. Municipal and well water systems are often quite high in calcium and magnesium so we don't need to supplement them. Much of the calcium and magnesium needed comes from our water we use to water our bonsai. A fertilizer balanced for the needs of plants is:ġ2-1-4 with Calcium 12, magnesium 3 or 4, sulfur 3 or 2 and the the whole list of micronutrients.
