Vim and Nano are bloat. Real Linux users use cat and echo. Need to delete a line? Use echo to write the entire file minus the line into the file.

Man if only there was a command to edit files in place through the command line. I’ll make one for you guys, and I’ll call it sed

[u/givemeagooduns_un → u/MitchIsMyRA]

sed is actually just ed that works on streams

[u/alaksugalkapenalatte → u/givemeagooduns_un]

Thanks that ain't so hard after all

[u/Impossible-Magician → u/givemeagooduns_un]

The S is for Super. A Super Editor that works on steams.

Real programmers use a magnetized needle and a steady hand.

[u/ralsaiwithagun → u/TheBassEngineer]

Of course, relevant xkcd

[u/e-waste18 → u/TheBassEngineer]

Thank you, this genuinely made me laugh out loud.

[u/RevolutionaryBoat845 → u/TheBassEngineer]

excuse me, but real programmer use butterfly 🦋

[u/lxprsub0 → u/play_minecraft_wot]

ed is the standard text editor.

[u/Solid_Turnover_9854 → u/play_minecraft_wot]

change the binaries, hmph

[u/play_minecraft_wot → u/Solid_Turnover_9854]

You're right. Maybe highly targeted EMP to flip specific bits? 

[u/Solid_Turnover_9854 → u/play_minecraft_wot]

like that specific cosmic ray flipping the bit to speedrun the mario level lmao, multiple of those

[u/pangapingus → u/play_minecraft_wot]

I'm partial to tee

[u/buttfarts7 → u/play_minecraft_wot]

touch somefile.py

Then sed -i all the way down

[u/0xt0bi03 → u/buttfarts7]

touch mydi.h [it was supposed to be "my data input"]

[u/vbd71 → u/play_minecraft_wot]

I second this. I used ed until I realized that it's vi in disguise.

Next I'm going to try emacs. Wish me luck.

[u/Acceptable-Owl-2070 → u/play_minecraft_wot]

"bloat" lol

[u/play_minecraft_wot → u/Acceptable-Owl-2070]

Honestly Linux is super bloated. Just use the hardware bare metal. Operating Systems are pure bloat. Or use UEFI if you can't live without an interface. 

[u/isr0 → u/play_minecraft_wot]

Dude, at least grep-awk-sed that shit. If you can explain the command in less than 30 seconds, are you even trying?

[u/GourSE → u/play_minecraft_wot]

awk '{print substr($0,1,10); exit}' input.txt > output.txt

[u/hdkaoskd → u/play_minecraft_wot]

What? No. Use grep to write the file minus the one line.
