JOE editor was: a little bit of vi+zsh magic

[hiro]

Today I was forced to use the joe editor for java.
In the search-and-replace dialog (see s in ed) joe seemed to change my
input to upper case automatically. Eventually I found out it was just
auto-completion. If you don't want auto-completion you can add rare
characters and delete them when you are ready.
Perhaps I should hang myself...

More evidence that Unix software has not progressed much in the last
forty years.
But I'm sure that in a few years they will try to present us this
stuff as "amazing gnome-edit magic".

Perhaps 'joe' was written by the Sirius Cybernetics Company.

This reminds me that besides the "not suitable for nuclear reactors"
disclaimers, all Java software should include the following warranty:

Thanks, I plan to add this to all my upcoming great java software :)

I just have to be a pedant and point out that it's the Serius
Cybernetics Corporation. And for once manually choose my sig.

After Wikipedia:

The only profitable division of the company is its Complaints division,
which, according to the series, takes up all of the major landmasses on
the first three planets in the Sirius Tau system. The theme song for the
Complaints division is Share and Enjoy, and has since become the theme
apparent for the company as a whole. The main office building and
headquarters for the company was originally built to represent this
motto, but due to bad architecture it sank halfway into the ground,
killing many talented young complaints executives. The downside to this
is that the upper halves of the motto's words now read, in the local
language, "Go Stick Your Head in a Pig."

Perhaps you should just hang your sysadmin. Why would you ever
use such crap? Doesn't every computer in the world have at least
vi and ed (vi on Plan 9 not being an editor...)?

Perhaps next time I may use notepad if I manage to stay nice and calm.
But you're right, if I was any rational I would bomb away this whole
fucking building.

If buffer overflows are ever controlled, it won't be due to mere
crashes, but due to their making systems vulnerable to hackers.
Software crashes due to mere incompetence apparently don't raise any
eyebrows, because no one wants to fault the incompetent programmer and
his incompetent boss.
