I am BEGGING for any editor other than VSCode to have decent remote development. I want to go open source but everything I’ve tried (remote-nvim, distant, tramp, vscodium, etc.) just doesn’t cut it.

Tramp is awesome :)

Is VSCode not open source?

Cube6392 ,

It has Microsoft BLObs baked in as part of the build process. VS Codium is the FLOSS distribution of VS code’s open source code. Liveshare doesn’t appear in the package repo Codium uses (because of the Microsoft BLObs it contains as an extension). For work I manually download the live share extension VSX and load it into vscodium

Vscode is like Chrome

And

VS Codium is like Chromium

Apparently Lapce has remote development as its core feature. But I only (re?)learned of it today…

warmaster ,

What about gitpod?

Have you tried running doom emacs in tmux on the remote server and accessing it with ssh? Doom emacs is all the good of an emacs environment, all the good of vim keybinds, and they worked in a decent amount of optimizations so it only loads the necessary stuff on demand (mine has a startup time of just over 1 second, slower than vim but barely an inconvenience). Can write a quick script to ssh copy (or git pull) your current configs on the server so you only have to maintain one set of configs if you want


<span style="color:#323232;">scp ~/.config/doom/config.el username@server:~/.config/doom/config.el
</span>

Run emacs in tmux if you want to keep the emacs session open across multiple ssh sessions

What in hell is remote development? You mean openssh and vim, right?

Cube6392 ,

Pair programming over the net. The old school way is tmux and vim but to do that you and your partner need port 22 open and most enterprises are gonna be like “hell no you can’t let people connect to your company owned work laptop SSH into your machine”

gkpy ,

would wstunnel help? just run that between both machines and pick whatever works best, even if that is ssh

ErnieBernie10 ,

What I do is use distrobox or any devpod and install it in the container and launch from cli. Works perfectly for me.

janabuggs ,

IntelliJ products my dude! If you go on there education side you can find the packages for free to compile yourself. There’s tons of guides online to do it.

Great another editor. Now what we need is a good PS alternative so we can all move away from Windows.

sag ,

PS?

sorter_plainview ,

Most probably Photoshop, else PowerShell

sag ,
Simmy ,

Correct Photoshop.

I tried saving to a file that required root and it didn’t give any prompt to enter the password. On VSCodium normally if you are trying to write to a file that requires sudo then it prompts you.

Is there a way to save to root files with Zed?

Maby launch editor with sudo?

Found the Windows user. On Linux we actually have polkit that can elevate privileges with a GUI prompt.

cy_narrator ,

On Windows you can just right click and run as administrator bro

e922857 ,

Use sudoedit

potosi ,

text editor

GPU-accelerated renderer

What the fuck?

Thcdenton ,

Sounds pretty cool. Sometimes ill do a quick series of edits in vim and it fuckin chugs. I’m definitly gonna try it

Cube6392 ,

Pretty common feature. Sublime, Lapce, VS Code, certain Emacs distributions, certain NeoVim GUIs… We live in a world where a lot of people have GPUs and CPUs aren’t getting faster so if you want to get more work done (ie, running LSPs, tree sitter, completion engines, snippet engines, debuggers etc) you need to offload some of that work somewhere

Thcdenton ,

Ohhh shiiit

AVincentInSpace ,

I still do not understand why Zed makes such a big deal about being GPU accelerated when you’ll be hard pressed to find a single text editor nowadays that isn’t.

@bilb@lem.monster avatar

Yeah, I don’t see why I should care about that. Gimme some crazy graphical effects, particles and shaders!

jaxxed ,

Zed seems cool, but not much better than other options. I am still kind of thrown off by the immediate GH/CoPilot integration. Am I the an old man left in the caves of feeling that I don’t need the AI help?

They’ll probably dial it back once the hype settles
