Honestly I don't get the Atom hate. It's a great editor.

I came to Atom from Sublime because the plugin ecosystem was growing much faster and the community felt more active. I haven't looked back since.

And no, Atom not designed to open 30Mb files. Complaining about this is akin to stomping on a land mine and complaining that your Timberland boots didn't save your foot. Just use Atom for its intended purpose: editing source files written by reasonably reasonable people.
The Javascript ecosystem has to deal with unrelenting, multi-decade backwards compatibility requirements; supporting numerous, inconsistent implementations; and an incredibly wide set of stakeholders and participants with diverse motivations when advancing the spec.

Do any other software platforms out there face the same magnitude of complications?

To speak to one of your primary examples: Babel is freaking huge and somewhat absurd, but is there any other way to advance the Javascript language? Fortunately, this is only a development dependency, and the client doesn't have to see it.

On a happier note, these are good problems to have. This is another indicator of how successful the web platform has become. You can build some absolutely incredible projects these days, and they are instantly available to billions of people who are operating thousands of different hardware devices (with different specs and dimensions) running dozens of operating systems. No gatekeeper, bureaucrat, or corporate curator must approve your work. Just simply deploy it, and anyone with the URL can access it. It is a mind-blowing human accomplishment. I look forward to seeing how the web continues to progress over the coming decades.

Wow, that's a pretty dim view of humanity you have there. They were also conceived. Should contraceptives be illegal too?

Just because there is a selection bias doesn't mean that the bias results in specifically positive or negative outcome. I could argue that because you were born you are against abortion because you were born too, and my argument would be just as valid. Of course I'm not making that argument, because it is just as silly as the one you are making.
Twitter url seems like a strong key since it is referenced in many other contexts.

As for curation, it is intended to provide examples of what key, attr and values are regardless of their content. This is an experimental feature and might be removed/tweaked...
Ratio of interviews to accepteds and how are groups picked
Does anyone know how many groups are invited to interviews relative to the number that are accepted? Is it something like 2 to 1?

I am also just wondering what kind of system is used to pick groups.

Is it like Reddit where all the partners can up-vote or downvote?

Is it like the United Nations where the founders have veto powers?

Is it like American Idol by the sum of votes or is it more like X-factor with three X's and you're out?

It would be interesting to find out what system they use to pick.
Gradle is just incredibly slow on Android compared to Eclipse. particularly with larger projects. Instant Run has helped alleviate this to some extent, but it's still not uncommon for a build to take 2+ minutes.

I guess this is mostly due to all the resource crunching that Android does, and the fact that Android Studio doesn't perform incremental compilation by default.

Another annoyance is that every time a minor change such as incrementing a version number is made, Android Studio grinds to a freeze syncing gradle files.

I don't think the microservices is about repo too big in a technical sense. The problem is when you have 100s of engineers working on a single repo, just merging changes or building , testing etc. will take all day. Microservices are more a solution to scaling engineering teams with a lot of people because they can work independently rather than a technical scaling thing.

This isn't the America that I grew up loving. The idea that was put into my head anyway. I use to be proud of it when in school I would hear about America being the melting pot of the world, called the greatest country. Where people came with dreams, all races, religions, ages. A place where someone could start new and be part of a great country. What happened to that? I'm not saying there was never racism before, of course. But I won't forget what was told to me about America and why it was great. And I want to see that now. But as long as shit like this is happening, it never will be.

As an old prgrammer feeling the limit of neuron counts and possible premise of alzheimer, I avoid tools where you have to know by hart all the commands or have to read a long help text to find what you need.

I use vim as editor for system files, but I only use the 1% of its capabilities I really need. All these shortcuts make me sick because I can't remember them and can't easily find them. That's also why I don't like Atom, sublime, Visual and all that kind of editors. I'll give a try to this Lime editor.

The best IDE around, in my humble opinion, is QtCreator because the interface is remarkably simple and intuitive. I regret no one tries to copycat this one.
> Overall, I wouldn't say Android is poorly designed, it's just mediocre, I would expect more from Google.

I completely agree and although I only do it as a hobby, there are lots of points that many in the community feel as pain.

- They never managed to write a proper working emulator, while other companies had no problem doing so;

- The whole debacle of C++ support, had JetBrains not decided to create CLion, to this day Eclipse CDT would be deprecated without any official path for NDK users

- Speaking of NDK, the four parallel paths to build applications (old ndk-buld, experimental Gradle plugin, stable plugin with ndk-build, stable plugin with cmake), each with its own set of issues

- Dalvik JIT/GC were always worse than the average J2ME /J2Embedded commercial offerings, regardless of how they used to sell the story of having to fork Java for performance

- Choosing to AOT on device instead of doing at the store like everyone else, thus leading to the half-backed solution in Android 7 that everything goes (interpreter in Assembly, JIT with PGO, AOT when docked).

- Android Studio just puts my computer fans in full throttle bringing back memories from Webpshere RAD, something that Eclipse CDT never did. And I am not a big Eclipse fan.

- Gradle needs a background daemon with 2GB of allocated memory to match Ant or Maven performance

- The SupportLibrary releases that are so well tested that always required a minor updated, because they always break something

- I do approve that the NDK is constrained due to security concerns, but being forced to use JNI to call libraries that are implemented in C++ like Skia?

- Forking Java community with cherry picked features from Java 6, 7 and 8. Which will only get worse now that Java 9 and 10 will bring features that will drastically change how the language is used (modules, linker, graal, value types, type inference,....).

There are plenty of other issues to rant about, these are just some of them.

They seem to just keep Android on some kind of "just good enough" for the masses. Literally the MS-DOS of mobile world.
I guess I should have been more specific. I meant sorta convincingly emulating intelligence versus fully meeting some other definition. Is a turing test enough?
The link between long options and poor documentation is something you'll have to prove, I'm afraid. I'm not buying it.

You've also yet to show that long options is some kind of "great crime" that hurts anyone. It's ridiculous. People invented long options because short options are not intelligible unless you already know what they mean.

Your Mercurial example actually undermines your argument completely. I don't know "hg" at all, but when seeing "--no-backup" I immediately understand what that flag does, something which would not be true if the command were "hg revert -C".

Moreover: The fact that "--no-backup" exists does not exclude anyone. You can use "-C". If you can remember it. There's your hallowed ergonomy, you already have it.

As for zsh completion: A program simply needs to follow a specific protocol (take input, reply with the right output), and then be registered with the "complete" command. zsh comes with autocompletion for lots of things.

Let me know when this distinction is anything other than pedantry.

From the tone of some of these posts, you'd think downloading Atom and subsequently realizing it doesn't suit one's needs caused lasting psychological harm.

Semantics aside, Atom is good at what it does. For 99% of projects it's an excellent, flexible tool.
I started as a Java dev in JDK1.1, moved to c# @ 1.3 and now apparently im an andriod and iOS dev too with Xamarin ;) I pretty much spent the last month creating a x-platform mobile app, i share 90% of my code across the server/client and havnt really even had to learn too much about the intricies of each platform to replace the current version of our product which was written in ObjC and Java.

I can program directly against viewControllrs or Activities, but i dont have to. I use Rx for all async stuff and my Views/Models are eventSourced just like my aggeregates an their views are on the server.

Not saying Xamarin is bee's knees or anything, it has its own quirks and own bugs, but in terms of andriod vs iOS dev, i dont have to buy into any of the core OS's to get the job done.
Not really. The right in the US has gone through several compaction cycles that drummed the RINOs, moderate conservatives, blue-dog Democrats, etc out of office and the party. Republicans are far, far away from being a "big tent" party. It's ideological purity or get purged in the primaries.

By virtue of the two-party system in the US there is only one place left for rational thinking people to end up. This election cycle is producing an even stronger compaction cycle than the last three combined. As the base gets ever more rabid and detached from reality more people flee. (Some on the Left are pissed that the Dems have been moderating too much)

I can't predict the future but it is possible we are looking at a major fracture of the GOP and political re-alignment. It has happened 2-3 times in the past. If I had to guess the Rs will fracture into two or more parties, the Ds will run the table for a decade or two, then things will reset as a new party rises to replace the GOP and peels off D voters.

If Donald Trump keeps claiming he lost due to fraud/the media/some other boogeyman I don't see how the Republicans can keep it together. If nothing else he showed the wanna-be hucksters how to really appeal to the hardcore Republican base. Many astute eyes have been watching and will be ready to replicate his efforts at the local and national level. The Right-wing echo chamber has taught the base that all media are liars, you can't trust government, etc. There is no authority left who can tell them what is a false conspiracy theory and what is truth. Anyone who doesn't buy the conspiracies is branded a traitor and the compaction cycle marches ever onward.

Compaction Cycles are where a group turns inward looking for people to blame. Sometimes there is an obvious cause, sometimes it's just general discontent. People point fingers and anyone who isn't quick enough to jump on the group-think train is purged. Moderate or un-committed members are driven out, (see Tea Party candidates primary-ing a bunch of Rs out).
If the movement experiences a failure this can manifest as the blame-game too - see McCain/Romney. When they clinched the nomination various places like r/pol and Freep went on huge purges of anyone not backing them. When they lost the group-think proclaimed it was because they weren't true conservatives. Like fascism, communism, and other -isms conservativism cannot fail, it can only be failed. Compromise is a moral failing. If the leaders just /conservatived even harder/ they would finally win.

When Trump inevitably loses (remember: he hasn't been forecasted to win once since he started running and demographic trends make it almost impossible for Republicans to win the presidency anymore) there will be another massive purge and a huge wave of angry people looking to blame someone. A certain segment of the R base won't believe he lost. They will claim the election was stolen.
Except this doesn't happen. If a lawyer plots a 1k+ page contract down on your table to sign, he probably didn't write it from scratch for you. If the lawyer has been at this for a while, he or she has a list of likely vary similar contracts that they drew most of the language from and then modified for the needs of you and the other entities (we don't like the clause, we want to be protected against this, etc.).
I would use that site, if that offers any sort of indicator.
Rise of the Robots: Technology and the Threat of a Jobless Future
The article has almost nothing to write about the "19-year-old Illinois man" but everything to do about the "U.S.C./LAT poll" and its characteristics. The poll chooses weights and as such this random person's decisions are given higher precedence.

The title should reflect the _poll_, not the man. HE himself is doing nothing. The title is misleading as I assumed the article would discuss grassroots activities by this man and how he's making great strides to influence polls. I would learn who he is, what he is doing, and how his actions have been effective. But, this is not the case. He has no idea and in fact this man is entirely irrelevant as an individual.
Use something else for viewing log files!

Going through log files and developing software are related, but distinct enterprises. It's no wonder the tools for one are sometimes suboptimal for the other.

Atom is about nice aesthetics, github integration and a plugin ecosystem. It's not trying to solve the problem of reading through massive log files.

They don't, but they also don't like going to the gym, waking up early for work, or taking out the trash. I think it'll be interesting to see who do and who don't

Willpower and motivation fascinate me. I've been living with depression for a while, but I've been able to conceptually reorient myself to embrace my circumstances and find willpower to do the 'I don't want to, but I should' things whenever they come around. But just as I don't think everyone is capable of advanced systems programming, for example, I'm not certain that everyone is capable of strong willpower.
Why do your users care about your implementation language?

They don't, but they're not 'talking' to users with those statements. For Open Source projects getting contributors is just as important as getting users, and they care what language you're using. Especially on a site like this one there is a decent chance that you can reach people who also want to help out with the development.
