            ...that is used by a program which is optimized for reading big ass files and writing into it without having to load much into RAM. It also has an API for most features you would need.

            Hate VSCode just because I hate the interface, but this is good to know because this problem comes up now and then. Good reason to keep the pos around.

            I hate VSCode because it has no soul and it's a typical microshit monopoly that is eating up the market and slowly killing mass interest in other alternatives. Also because it's objectively the best editor out there at the moment. Using anything else right now feels like purposefully tying one hand behind your back. I hate it but it's true.

            Everyone says this but every time I use it, it feels just... okay. There's nothing special about it at all if you are used to editors with actual features.
            I feel like the people praising VSC as the second coming of Christ are used to editors that are essentially Notepad with syntax highlighting.

          Course you can, but a lot of software doesn't by default. And what most people (including me) do is log each day separately. But if I then get abnormal traffic, it might get bigger than expected.
          You're gonna encounter that multi-gb text file before you want to change it.

    I don't have time to replicate it so you may be lying out of your ass but I believe it. VSCode is pretty awesome. The morons who go "hurr durr durr VSCode is sooo bloated because it's made in JavaScript lmao" don't get that languages are not the thing that is slowing your program down, it's the algorithms and the data structures, if you use a higher level "slow" language like Python or JavaScript to implement a better algorithm or data structure for your program then of course your program will be faster than the naive C implementation.

          i assume freetard software tries to load the whole thing into memory, which is fine for 99% of cases, but MS software treats the open file more like a virtualized view through which it seeks

      I can't believe IQfytards don't understand this concept when there are tons of shit devs that don't even know how to properly optimize their programs for better memory management and think it's solely the language's fault

        Saying it's not the language's fault is just as simpleminded as always blaming the language. You are the hurr durring caveman you wish to portray other people as.
        >hurr durr durr a good python implementation is of course faster than a naive interpretation on an appropriate language.
        That does not change the fact that some languages are still faster, moron. It also isn't even necessarily true. A "better algorithim or data structure" does not always compensate for the innate disadvantages of the language. It would defend on how much better it is. I know that saying things like "of course your program will be faster" allows you to feel like you know something. But you don't. You actually have to think about specific situations instead of reaching out for simpleminded conclusions.

      Notepad is more performant than any linux replacement so far.

    Yes and no, as you can see with this example where i load a 120MB log file on both neovim and vscode.
    It is an approach that has benefits(ram usage but also usability drawbacks
    > Much like Kwrite vscode will not load the entire file
    > VScode will also turn off extensions like my extension to prevent freezing or crashing.

    Meanwhile neovim just loads the file instantly with any and all assumed extentions enabled and i can also search the entire file.
    There is a benefit to using the ram I have available on my PC.

      There's a saying, unused ram is wasted ram.
      But i think ram is even more wasted when you need to load a web browser that pretends to be an editor.

      I *think* (happy to be proven wrong) that micro has the same filesize limitations that nano/jed etc. will have.
      It will try to buffer 14gb which unless you have the spare mem and swap will just break.
