I've been running this beta 3 version for years now and it's been rock stable. To the point that I sometimes wondered what the difference was with SublimeText 2.

This final v3 might involve a licence upgrade but if there's one dev team I happily support it's these guys, what an awesome product.

>I'd also argue they are not the ideal instrument, as they rarely actually achieve any real gains for the individuals.

I can't say whether or not the process is ideal, but I can say that the benefit to individuals is irrelevant. The COLLECTIVE - the whole society - benefits in a big way when the behavior of a large corporation doing very small harm to thousands or millions of individuals is punished and deterred. The bar for success can't always be directed at individuals; there are very positive societal level benefits that are small to individuals but huge to the whole ecosystem.
Switches use L4 ports to implement flow-switching. When multiple paths for a packet are available, it is convenient (it leads to less re-ordering) if the related packets from the same flow all choose the same path.

You can play stuff you physically own from a Roku too. Are you saying that Sonos could arbitrarily upload your media files to their servers? Doubtful. At worst, they could do a sound-print analysis locally on the device to identify it and send the metadata to Sonos.

I am trying to think of concrete examples of scenarios where actual harm would REALISTICALLY be done to individual consumers because of Sonos privacy policy.

The funny fact is that some browsers (Chrome?) did not have this behavior initially but it was introduced to match what others (IE?) did.
1. If I'm understanding correctly (and maybe I'm not!), the criticism of the CoC was not seen as a CoC violation, it was seen as incompatible with the duty of enforcing the CoC. (That is, the situation would have been very different from if a project member not on the TSC were criticizing the CoC.) There were, I think, other actions from the same person that were claimed to be CoC violations, and I don't know enough to have an opinion on whether those claims are accurate. But I don't think the act of criticizing the CoC was ever even claimed to be one.

2. Even if it were, that would still only be a claim about this particular guy's approach to criticizing the CoC.

3. Even if it were a claim about all criticisms of the CoC, the vote failed. As far as I can tell, the scenario in reality is exactly the scenario you wish: someone on the TSC criticized the CoC, the TSC votes that this is totally fine.

(If you are now additionally arguing that TSC members should be barred from resigning from the TSC and then critiquing the decision on their private blog once no longer affiliated from the TSC, well, that does not seem like the pro-free-speech position.)
You are proposing a situation where someone overrides += to specifically both call a blocking function and to not make it work correctly. I'm not saying it doesn't happen, but bad code is bad code regardless of your paradigm.

Though I must admit I've not done cooperative multitasking in a language with operator overloading so I can't say whether or not this is a problem in practice.
> What are the hidden treasures of the genuine Common Lisp we are ignorant of?

Actually Common Lisp is in many places a very well documented and designed language. Other languages have copied its numeric tower, its macros, its object-system, its error handling, ...

>In my humble opinion Common Lisp is the classic example of the kitchen sink syndrome, where many pieces taken from various dialects were put together in a hurry

The 'hurry' took place from 1981 (when the work on Common Lisp started) until 1994 when the ANSI CL standard finally was published. 13 years where hundred+ persons helped to design the language and provided comments, improvements, designs, prototypical implementations, alternative designs, ...

Also the 'various dialects' were mainly only Maclisp successors and Common Lisp was designed to be successor to them, not a summary of various dialects.

CL21 has more problems than lines of code, including security problems. As an experiment, fine. As a library that should be used? Please don't.

Twitter really feels like a broadcast / subscribe network to me. Unless you're a celebrity, you aren't getting significant interaction on there, and interaction is what I use social networks for. Whenever I log in there it is just a news feed of who made the most noise today. I can leave a witty comment and some people might see it, maybe a few more would argue against it if it's incendiary, but at the end of the day it's mostly just consuming. It leaves me wanting something more and because of that I almost never use my Twitter account.

Not true. You can model sums with inheritance along with an exclusivity constraint, but it's a weird model and subtyping is more general. Further, the idea of each variant being its own type is inherently a subtyping sort of idea. Sums don't give names to their conponents, only distinctions.

Ask HN: Where is there so much cryptocurrency skepticism on HN?
Whenever anything cryptocurrency or blockchain is posted, nearly all the comments label it as a "scam" fueled by "greed".

I'm a bit discouraged to engage in the comments due to extremely harsh and negative attitude towards the subject. Where is all this negativity and skepticism coming from? Are people pissed they missed out investing in Bitcoin or osmething? Obviously there are a ton of scams out there, but there are also a lot of technically interesting projects. I'm just trying to educate myself and learn more...not get rich quickly.
> I think education should be free.

You mean college professors should work for free? Or somebody else should pay for your education?
That's not the worst part though. The worst part is where you turn around and say "well, since we paid for your education (with other people's money of course, but let's forget about that), we now own you and you are indebted to us forever".

> I think the US owes the poorer country if it takes their citizens though

So, you think the "poorer country" owns its citizens. Because otherwise how you can owe anybody for something they don't own? Do you owe me for sunlight? For the air you breathe? No, because I don't own it. But if you took something I do own, I would certainly be expecting something in return, you'd owe me. That's directly the idea of ownership, and what you said directly implies ownership of the country (at least "poor country") over the citizens.

> We live in a world where poor subsidize rich

No we do not. It is a completely false statement. Look into any table of who pays most of the taxes, they are widely available online.

> USSR being both very poor and having a great education system

Did you experience that system? Because I did. It sucked. There were a few (half-dozen or so) of good schools per city (if the city is large). The rest were more or less garbage. Even in the good ones, usually some things were taught well (i.e., in one school, math & physics, in another - languages, in another -
chemistry, etc. - the rest again was pretty bad). There was a number (maybe a dozen or so over the whole country) decent higher education institutions, the rest was mediocre at the best.
And for it being free I was forced (literally, under the threat of expulsion) to sort rotten vegetables in the local agricultural storage depot. Do you know how potatoes rotting for weeks smell like? Did you have to go through a pile of them with you bare hands? It was part of my CS curriculum. Tell me more about how education in USSR was the best. Fortunately, I got the idea eventually and left (I was lucky, by then it was permitted) and got education in a place where you can pay for it with money and not forced labor.

> Do you consider the idea that there should be a societal gain for educating ones' citizens controversial?

I consider the idea that the state owns people because it took their money and made an "investment" controversial. Investment implies you own whatever you invested into. And your claims about people leaving the country after being educated being unfair implies you buy into that concept of ownership.
I'm in this same predicament. I used to have to do constant backup/restore on family member computers, and Crashplan really made that painless. This transition is going to be a real pain.

So far it doesn't look like they're keeping the free peer-to-peer backups, which I was using for the less important computers, so this would more than double the price if I went for the SB plans.
While it works well, Duplicity is rather slow and only supports expensive full-incremental-full backup cycles.

Modern incremental-forever backup tools like borg[1] (fork of Attic[2]) are much faster since they are based on block hashing, which also gets you deduplication for free.

Basically, a backup is a set of hashes - this means that you can selectively delete or retain old backups without having to merge them.

I built a >50 TB enterprise backup cluster with borg and it works extremely well.

Thanks for this. Looks really promising.

My frustration with most these budgeting apps is that they're usually designed around the idea of split finances, which is something I fundamentally have a problem with. My wife and I keep nothing but joint accounts. There is no "splitting". I don't need to "control what my partner sees". I just need a place where I can keep track of _our_ budget.

Using the glibc resolver as baseline is a bad idea, it’s broken beyond hope.

Try resolving http://-emmawatson.tumblr.com/, which is a valid URL under newer standards, and works on all other systems. The Glibc authors refuse to merge patches fixing this, because they disagree with the standard.

Is this the prescriptivist/descriptivist debate from linguistics, applied to road construction?

Increased traffic on a road not meant to take it indicates some unmet demand, but it doesn't necessarily follow that the correct response is to accept the traffic on that road. It may be better to open things up elsewhere.

Also note that it's possible for adding routes to reduce efficiency, and thus for removing routes to increase efficiency: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Braess's_paradox

Finally, there's the problem of externalities. Road traffic has costs to the people nearby, in terms of noise, pollution, and danger. The drivers don't experience those costs, and rarely factor them into the decision of which route to take. Putting a lot of traffic onto a residential road not meant to take it can easily be a net negative.
Not necessarily high detection rate. Most of people don't know what they got in the box. I remember a few court cases, where cache chips were fake ones. System would just work well, without the cache. The cache chips were fakes and on board, just that user can see those are in place and pay for those.

There are surprisingly many things in computer which you don't actually need and don't know if those are working or not.

You cannot leave the HOA, but you can get yourself elected to the leadership and systematically destroy all of its enforcement powers from the inside.

But this obviously takes more effort than simply buying property that isn't subject to a HOA in the first place.

Your state court system may also be able to clear restrictive covenants from your property if the HOA makes any mistakes in enforcement. That is highly dependent on your neighbors, so success is by no means guaranteed.

A lot of HOAs can be brought to heel by threatening to erect antennas on your property, for the purposes of amateur radio communications and reception of broadcast signals. No covenant restricting those types of antennas is enforceable in the US, and most of the HOAs know it, or will know it shortly after consulting with a lawyer.
Probably not the perfect topic for the following question, but close enough for me to ask;

What is the deal with class action lawsuits WRT the monies lawyers get vs the plaintiffs.

I was a victim of fraudulent banking practices in 2008/2009 which resulted in the illegal foreclosure of my home in San Jose. I "won" my class action lawsuit and was "awarded"$1,100 for my victory on having a $489,000 house stolen from me by the bank. (Never missed a payment, never late, had credit score of 780 - this experience ruined me)

So I "won" that legal battle - but was unable to have my credit score fixed through the win...

So the question is: class-action lawsuit victories look to me to be a complete sham, so why would we value them as anything other than a "fuck you for not having enough money" enterprise - and where do the lawyers get off on their "right" to profit off such actions at the expense of others?
I'm honestly surprised that Gab hasn't officially tried to persuade Trump to move over yet. Or that other alternative platforms (like Minds) haven't done the same. For a free speech Twitter alternative that wants mass appeal, getting the US president to move over would be like winning the lottery.
There is a story about people getting driver's license having a check box to opt-in into being organ donors, and very few said yes. Once the box was changed to opt-out, very few said no :)

The question is are people saying no because they are privacy conscious, or because they don't care. My money is on latter. In general more people care about Firefox being fast than security.

What's a bigger issue for Firefox is deprecating its add-ons. That's going to hurt its marketshare way more than telemetry data.
I love Sublime.

I'm not sure what to say about the belief some people have that 'we need releases twice a month' for a stable, high-performance product. I don't want or need product releases twice a month unless there's a good reason.

I feel like the regular releases crowd is mostly cargo cult driven by a desire to emulate the big web companies who are constantly - and often infuriatingly - tweaking their products for whatever reason.

From what I can see, this desire/need for constant tweaks arises mostly because web companies tend to ship very buggy products, and because there seems to be this belief that a company is going out of business if their web page that doesn't change often enough.

Well, in the article the author of the linked article points to a study he commissioned at the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau which found

>In reality, lawyers collect a small portion compared with consumers, and only if they succeed. For every $10 that a company pays out for wrongdoing, we found about $8 goes to consumers and $2 goes to pay legal costs.

Of course we could take issue with this study, but unless someone can present some evidence in its favor the notion that only the lawyers ever profit from class actions seems like received wisdom "everyone just knows".

We've handled backup with Duplicity for various things, and found it useful.

If you go with this one, do be aware that by its nature, restores when you've done a lot of incremental backups can be extremely slow. (Think hours, where other systems would retrieve the data in minutes if not seconds.)

That means you really need to be a doing a full, and therefore also slow, backup reasonably frequently to keep Duplicity usable. As a rule of thumb, we found a full backup each month and dailies each night was just about tolerable even if you needed a restore quite late in the month, but even then a 10GB backup with 30 days of incrementals on top could be looking at an hour or more to retrieve a single file.

As I understand it, Duplicity's scheme can also be vulnerable to minor corruption (e.g., due to disk error) anywhere since your last full backup taking out the entire backup, so if you're going to use it then you might like to investigate the options it provides for mitigating this risk as well.
I must confirm, this is sarcasm?

I've got a cool job as a software developer, and it pays well. Flexible hours. Good colleagues. But I don't give a flying fuck about the software that I'm paid to develop. I'd much rather be working on open source software.

Why don't I do it in my free time? Well I'm still studying part time, so I can't really. But this is my last semester, and maybe things will be better once I finish my studies.

I'm a (more or less daily) Sublime Text user, in addition to a few other editors.

After reading through the thread, the developer's points seem to be rational, coherent and well-delivered. I can understand some of the frustration from users, but not the outright hostility towards the end of the thread. They only have so much bandwidth, and the responses feel very "patient" to me.

To be honest, I've been using Sublime Text since before work started on version 3 and I don't really understand why there is such a fixation on the update cycle. Unless I'm mistaken it's only two full time developers, and historically it's been only one. The dev releases feel very stable to me, though of course I can't claim my workflow is the same as everyone else's.

I can't think of any particular features the text editor feels like it's missing. They seem to be nailing it, in my opinion. I ascribe to the philosophy that perfection occurs when there is nothing left to remove, not nothing left to add - they are relatively slow with adding new features, but the editor is blazingly fast and consistently delivers the experience I want in an editor.

For what it's worth, my opinion here is colored by the fact that I don't really think about the development cycle of most of the software I use. I couldn't tell you what major point release I'm on for 1Password. I think it's 6 on macOS, but I'm not confident. I just update it when it gives me an alert. Similarly, I don't really know what version I'm using for JetBrains PyCharm or CLion, and I've never followed the development roadmap. All I typically know is that I'm on the most recent version for the desktop software I use, and if something seems buggy or odd I check the changelog and then maybe look into it.

I'd be genuinely interested in hearing why people seem to be disappointed with Sublime Text, and what features they wish it supported.
