I'm sorry you feel "grilled", but I'm just trying to understand your position.

You've made some big claims about society. Clearly, you see some of these reflected in the Uber situation. How? By who?
I've used sublime 2 for some time, but changed to VSCode. Reason: VSCode is good enough for my stuff.
On my laptop, bash on windows gives me better battery life and working sleep/wake, compared to "real" Ubuntu.

You must know that the SWAT team didn't know they were part of a hoax. If there actually had been an armed hostage-taker then I doubt that many people would be saying that shooting him with rubber bullets was illegitimate.

Having said that: 15 of the 17 top-level comments on this thread are explicitly critical of the police in this situation, so I don't know how you you're getting the impression that we aren't allowed to hold them accountable.
Total Commander isn't updated for a long time now and still one of the most useful windows file manager out there.

With ST we see slow but constant development, personally I don't care if the author is not a Twitter addict.
Apache default is NOT prefork, unless you are using something older than Apache 2.4. Of course it is utterly inappropriate nowadays, which is why NO ONE USES IT, but people love spreading the FUD that Apache is still prefork.

The rest of your "analysis" suffers from the same misinformation as this. I especially like "Whereas apache is not and it cannot be because of the modules.". I have no idea what in the world you mean by that. Why "because of the modules"?
Did you try using WSL with the creator's update? The fixes were extensive.
Doesn't it, though? It lets you create tabs, Ctrl+c - Ctrl+v, and works for Cmd, PowerShell, and Bash on Windows.
Your description of frameworks' opinions and limitations limiting development has just never —after years of development— really applied to Django. Much of it is configurable or even interchangeable, and it continues to receive serious improvements on a regular basis.

The fact Django is batteries-included, and everything is well documented in a single place, developers aren't wasting time working out what they can or should use for URL routing or handling database connections.

So no, I stick by my comment. A good framework saves time by being easier to learn, creating a more homogeneous product that is easier for other <framework>-developers to pick up, not forcing developers to form opinions about architecture they just need to work.
Why is this so important to you that you keep on? I don't care about the "grilling" in any negative sense, I'm just curious where you're driving this. I'm responding as a passenger in your mysterious investigation.

Given all the many hot-topic major media issues I've listed, which saturate the airwaves, watercooler discussions, and online arguments, how do you dismiss them as just some "big claims" about the current social climate that need further evidence?

"Clearly, you see some of these reflected in the Uber situation."

Clearly, you're impervious to my stating that specificity to uber is not my point at all. But yeah, I've seen and heard my share of railing on this topic with the usual outrage claims & counter-claims, which isn't just some nebulous "reflection" of the overall "situation" I'm positing, but tired content I've seen. Get to the meat of what you're looking for, already, and stop reiterating non-claims.
I'm curious why you don't want to rely on non-free software for your work.

Usually paying for something helps it not to die, like limetext, for example.

For my work, I'd rather pay for something I rely on to increase the likelihood of it staying alive and keeping up with the work I need to do.

Nim is another take on that particular strategy.

"Never" isn't accurate though. If you step away from vapid content sites for a minute, to a place where real money and products are exchanged, there are strong cases for load time affecting the likelihood of purchase or cart abandonment, or whether they'll resubscribe to your SaaS.

It does largely depends on how much the user thinks they specifically need you but if it's between your flabby website, taking seconds to load each page, and a competitor's fast website, you can bet you're losing money to them, even if they're slightly more expensive.

Slow websites frustrate users and look unprofessional.

I know this article is aimed squarely at content but articles like this lead to people making silly comments —like the one I'm replying to— that make absolute statements about all web development, all the time.

Of course some schmoos can get away with some bloat, but that's very different from saying it's only the product that matters.
I hate to quibble with somebody I'm agreeing with so much, and perhaps I'm just mincing words, but I don't think you're right with your statement that SWAT teams were formed solely to "end already violent situations"

Yes, that's part of their job. But surveillance is also part of their job -- which doesn't involve violence at all. They should be adept at performing normal policing activities in unusual environments, like hanging from the side of a building, or in an NBC environment. The point is that there just isn't a "weapons" part of SWAT; there's also a "Tactics" side. And tactics is a lot more than no-knock raids.

SWAT teams are not supposed to be shock troops, some half-assed version of Delta or DEVGRU. They're supposed to be expert in various policing activities that require unusual weapons or tactics.

As an aside, there are a lot of soldiers returning from overseas with tons of counter-insurgency training. A vast majority of this training is not applicable to domestic police work. But I'll bet you twenty bucks it ends up being part of it anyway, whether we need it or not.

That's a really bad thing for all involved.
I thought you just make the key board random every stroke and the human has to pick the right, next letter so it's not predictable with a known pattern.

edit: I like that "Obviously hackers wear hoodies..." hahaha, I like to wear a mask, and see as little as possible, while I mash on the keys hacking into the NSA.

edit: it's not funny though when you happen to see your server logs and you see various attempts to break in using wordpress-access attacks like forget the one xmlrc or something... I don't use Wordpress but man... gotta keep an eye on those logs. Also tracked one of the ips, lead to some site called BoltCloud, looks legit, with a login but... I don't know... not sure if you can bounce attacks from a server without that server's permission.
Heya,

Just wanted to let you know that we introduced long pooling with GitLab Runner version 1.9.0 (~ three months ago).

Also you might want to take a gander at https://about.gitlab.com/2017/04/10/upcoming-runner-changes-... We're throttling older runners.
And to be clear: it is your product and it's your choice how to develop it or make it available on the market. The only reason that I took the time to vent is that I actually like Teleport a lot. You won't see me complain about Oracle or Symantec pricing details. :-)
I tried contacts twice, a few years apart. On both occasions, a few weeks in, I ended up sitting in front of an opthalmologist having had what seems to have been a corneal abrasion from the contact lens. The opthalmologist couldn't find anything wrong, and I can only guess that maybe a dry eye caused the lens to stick to both the ball and lid, then moving the lid yanked the lens and in turn the ball. Seriously sharp pain and eye streaming.
It's very telling and somewhat disappointing that the Deutsche Post (not a traditional car maker) can get a fleet of electric cars up and running while traditional German automotive industry is still delaying as long as possible, showing off futuristic (and ugly) design studies instead of putting electric cars on the road.
The meaning of "13px" on a website is completely up to you. All CSS units are relative.
I see advertising for Matrix every single time the chat topic comes up. Having looked at the protocol, it seems massively more inefficient than just using XMPP, which has numerous clients and a lot of features. Can Matrix do anything that XMPP can not?

Note that I have read the claims at http://matrix.org/docs/guides/faq.html#what-is-the-differenc... but critizising the minimal XMPP baseline feature set while claiming that XMPP is not being “well designed for mobile use cases” seems like someone wants to have their cake and eat it too – I have used XMPP over low-bandwith high-latency mobile data connections for years and noticed that XMPP's stream syncronization is a really nice feature for that use case.
It's interesting how the comments on that page are so respectful. I wonder if it's entirely due to the templated "Dear Editor" and "Sincerely" formatting, i.e. remove those words and I wouldn't infer the same perception of respectfulness, that the templating encourages more respectful comments, or just good moderation and I can't see all the bad comments that have been submitted but not shown.
>...25 hours that you should be spending studying at home (or in the library)

>Dividing that 25 hours by those 5 days gives you 5 hours of studying per night

Haha. Final year PhD checking in. I've never, not in my entire life, never, done any more than 2 hours study (outside of classes, lectures or labs) on a single night. My brain would just stop focusing after a couple hours.

Plus, why would you need to study if you focus during classes and actively try to understand what's going on?

It is in relation to ad budgets.

Consumers only have so much attention span. It's been over-saturated for years; more adtech doesn't lead to better conversion -- it's just smoke and mirrors so as networks can justify rates without the return ("but wait, this new feature will boost your campaigns by 5%!")

Also consider that the #1 advertising category (automobiles) are about to head off a cliff in the next decade... there's a reason Wall Street thinks Tesla (whose 10 year plans are almost certainly to stop selling cars to consumers and operate a ride sharing platform) is more valuable than Ford.
> Larry Garfield, a long-time, veteran contributor to Drupal was ejected from the community, allegedly not for breaking the Code of Conduct, but, to quote your own post on the matter, because “he holds views that are in opposition with the values of the Drupal project."

At some point, some open source communities will need to decide whether they work on open technologies or they are political activists with a political mission that serves the interests of a specific political side, or political doctrine[1] If I'm into, I don't know, some niche Porn that isn't illegal, can it be considered "offensive to women" and should I be ejected as a contributor because of my personal sexual tastes in order to satisfy those that might be offended by this, even if I never bring up that matter in public? Now, if I'm part of an atheist association, and I publicly question the reality of a mainstream religion, can it be considered offensive to Muslims and should I be ejected of a totally unrelated community because some of its members that are not even of the religion think that what I said is offensive toward Muslims?

1 : one can argue "free software" is political. It is, but it has to do with the protection of users and their right to access and modify source code. It has nothing to do with women's rights or making blasphemy socially unacceptable, especially when positions are taken outside the context of the project community.
I agree with you about people not wanting to live in the world that they are signing other people up for.

Despite the fact that I'm about as liberal as a person can get, my problem with the fossil fuel argument is that places like New York state ban fracking but buy natural gas from Texas and Louisiana. So it's OK for us to screw up our environment, but it's not OK in their back yard. Louisiana is so captured by the energy companies that its one of, if not the most, polluted states in the country. New Yorkers get to make money off of energy, use the energy, and complain about how its produced? Fuck that in the ear.

The thing that bothers me the most, though, is the way that we (meaning the democratically elected government) can't use the levers of power to force the massive economic engines that are the energy companies to finance the shift to other technologies. Like a sovereign wealth fund, or something like that. The way it works now, the people fund research and give tax breaks to companies in lots of sectors that are then allowed to privatize the profits that get generated from that investment. Why can't we get part of the profits? Instead of fighting over taxes, it should be viewed as actual ownership and return on investment.

I know that the idea would make a lot of libertarians throw up in their mouth, but I don't think that you can really ever keep government out of markets. It makes the markets. If it operated from an ownership perspective then it can use that ownership to make the public's concerns a real fiduciary issue. It's already picking and choosing winners and losers. It always has. The question, at least as it seems to me, is on whose behalf is the government going to intervene? It's going to intervene. Should that be only to benefit the wealthiest, or is there a way that we can force the markets to honor democratic will without completely screwing it up. I don't know, but I can say this. I don't believe in business anymore as a means to solve any problem. Over the course of my life I have only seen business prove time and time again that short sighted, short term, growth is more important than any other factor.

Even with the way that government has colluded with business to help create the situation we are in, at least government has even notionally democratic institutions while business are inherently un-democratic. I'm not a shareholder of Exon by birth, although I am an American.

I don't know. I'm not optimistic. I do agree with you though about the faux hippie thing. That kind of woo woo BS ends the conversation just as fast as saying "Jesus will fix it".
Does it? Or maybe those individual pop up and do their progressive thing only when existing infrastructure and technological landscape lets them do that?
People still believe vitamin C prevents the common cold.

So you're saying you don't see outrage reflected in the Uber situation?
Well, according to the second paragraph: "A rep from the Apple Store Review reportedly said that “any app designed to help people use their phones less is unacceptable for distribution in the App Store.”".
That's about the whole point of the article: Google doesn't decide for their use how they should use their own phones, whereas Apple kind of tries to.

I think assuming people will have a base set of ingredients (i.e. olive oil like you said) is a great idea.

It's probably a good idea too to offer these ingredients through your service as an upcharge. "Buy your kitchen starter pack".

For meal kit customers who may not have the time or knowledge to stock the basics, this could be a win-win.
It's 20 minutes only if you are exactly in the regular use case and already know what you are doing. And it's 20 minutes for one thing. Imagine if each little detail of your setup would take 20 minutes.

And of course down the road you will have to figure out subdomains, cross domain requests, media streaming, embedding external unsecure content, debugging on mobile devices, etc.

And of course this will work only if you are on a private server, cause on the simplest hosting you won't have this.

You lost touch with the quantity of knowledge you accumulated over the years.

Using both is very good. Sublime has some text transformation features that VSC doesn't have (I use a ton of regex replace and multi-cursor typing -- VSC has these but there are some menu items in ST that are not in VSC), VSC has a debugger, source control out of the box, and can use symbol servers.

VSC is very much prepared for cross-platform .NET Core development. ST3 is more generally prepared for a lot of other languages and project types. If you're on Windows using a .NET language, Visual Studio should supersede VSC in almost every way though, and ST works better as your lightweight text editor.

And now, a moment of silence for those poor Notepad++ fans. :)

"People still believe vitamin C prevents the common cold."

Non-sequitur. Please answer my query about your view on the massive global social discussion on outrage being an unfounded claim.

"So you're saying you don't see outrage reflected in the Uber situation?"

That was a general statement about outrage, as I've said over and over.

Also, why did it take you that long to ask that question, if it's what you were trying to pry out from way back when that statement was made? If you'd simply make your partial understanding known, then we'd have a nice human conversation with mutual understanding.

I recently tried putting Google ads on one of my websites. Over the course of 10,000 page views Google shows there were only 7 click throughs.

It does not even make sense because it means there was basically zero mis-clicks. I don't know how they count a click-through but it seems to be more than just someone clicking on the ad.

Also I'm pretty tired of hearing how Google are the good guys and 'do no evil'. It's obvious through their latest YouTube scandals and AdSense they are literally stealing billions of dollars from individuals around the world.
All the German carmakers have the tech to produce them, that’s not the problem.

But there’s no demand for an electric car that costs 5 times as much as an equivalent gasoline car (VW up! is 7'000€, e-up! is 35'000€)
The right distrusts both public (government) and private (monopolistic corporate) bureaucracies as oppressive. The left gives more of a pass to government bureaucracies because they have faith that they can be democratically checked.
The problem I see is that anyone can just "call" a SWAT team on anyone. Should there not be at least a cursory effort to ascertain whether the threat is genuine before sending people in to do shooting?
Setting up an e-mail address and a password is not an incredibly complex task. I have 3 seperate slack groups that are set up just for friends to chat.

Besides which, on most IRC servers, you're going to be using NickServ anyway, which is more complex a flow than setting up a user on Slack.
Trackers are malware. Google ads are the widest spread virus on the planet.
It's hard to find. Even NYT does this as opinion pages. Go to their home page, it's got a significant area of opinion. It gets progressively worse the further down the line (of news companies) you go.

The problem is news agencies is the only way to get information. Spicer doesn't invite "regular dude Joe." We in an information desert.

I have gone so far as to suggest a significant portion of Google's revenue is likely serving malicious content, which leaves them very little incentive to do anything about it.

Almost every senior citizen I've ever had clean up malware for got it from a malicious search ad. And the tech support scams they continue to list take advantage of tons of people as well.

I've pointed out before that Google happily lists phone numbers of tech support scams on search terms for Windows tech support, but doesn't show ads at all if you look for Chromebook support, pointing you straight to their official contact.

As a note, if anyone would like to see examples of this in action, I can go get screenshots and example links and everything, it just takes a little while to put together, as I would prefer to offer evidence of what I see "today" rather than any past examples I might have.
Hopefully Sublime Text will be open sourced someday.
If Sublime only had definite release! It's wonderful GUI editor! I stopped using it years ago when I switched to Vim and Emacs, but if it gets released I will buy it for sure, at least to have it on my work machine.

I like editing text in it, everything is so smooth and well looking, and it doesn't feel bloated. And I just hate all those Electron based editors, no matter how much incrementally they get better from month to month, they never even came close to Sublime's swiftness and polish. I tried VSCode last month, for few hours and uninstalled.

And people are often relaying on metrics and public opinion of usage of certain tool. Look, on latest StackOverflow Dev Survey Notepad++ was way ahead of everyone, it tells you something.

Global Peer-To-peer Lending Market Analysis 2016-2020
When the Washington Post offered me an online subscription (I live in Boston now but grew up and started my family in the Washington DC area) for $20 it was a no-brainer. The next year they wanted $100 and I worked them down to $50 so I took it. This year they wanted $100 so they got $0. If they charged $20 or $30 a year I bet they would get subscribers if the ad-revenue model died. But it's a winner-take-all operation. WaPo will dominate (along with the NY Times and WS Journal) because of their reputations. The El Paso whatever will be out of luck.

One way to get the charge-for-content back might be to demonstrate how much privacy people are losing and to make some noise about it.
Great release!

Is there any way to donate to SublimeText? We already have licenses at work, but would like to donate $10 or so to show support.
