I think it's quite plausible and very interesting to debate.

With that said, there is clearly interest at a political level, as stated by the author of this article. There's tons of research in the world which has been funded by political interests, however, and it's still valuable once you discount biases as this author has done.
> Less Facebook == more happy. It's the best advice I can give.

I completely agree, and this works for me too. I take long breaks from Facebook and find it refreshing. It also becomes painful to think of logging in to Facebook afterwards. The tons of notifications and tags and replies. There's too much on the platform manipulating people to stay on it. FOMO (Fear of Missing Out) is real, and I know people who cannot stay without checking Facebook everyday. The main reason I haven't quit Facebook is because I use it for some activism related topics, and a huge audience exists on the platform.

For privacy reasons, to protect myself a bit more and to avoid ads, I mostly Facebook only from a browser on a computer. I don't use the app even though I know I can deny permissions for contacts, photos, camera, mic, location, notifications, etc., on iOS. Sometimes I visit mbasic.facebook.com from the browser on the phone for kicks and to get to messenger directly without jumping through hoops.
Another way of looking at it is that having both eyes on the path is a bi-product of not having an objective. You are not distracted by superficial goals. If you objective is to focus on the path, you now miss all the opportunities the paths lead to.
A couple? I'd love to know where this can happen multiple times to the same person so I can avoid it like the plague.

I feel like maybe you don't know what apt does, or how it's used, if you think that shell script is "pretty close."
Except for the fact that there's barely any comparison, and nothing new is mentioned. Atom is cool, slow and not every language is supported equally. Sublime costs money. Hardly warrants 4 total paragraphs where sublime is barely mentioned.
There's a lot of things hyped/marketed as "AI" that are merely algorithms or applied statistics on large datasets. Things that totally miss the mark on the computer science aspects of what AI is suppose to be.
This post feels like a draft for what could be a killer article. I don't mean this as disrespect, just that I'd be interested in reading a detailed post, OP. Something beyond just introducing a concept.

Perhaps along the lines of what IndieHackers.com/businesses would publish. They ask (and get answered) questions startups typically won't answer, post a plethora of stats, and go into detail on both what did and didn't work. (Heck, maybe even apply to get interviewed by them)

I think your business (and side business mentioned in the post) in particular would be interesting to read in a detailed format.

Cheers!
I disagree. Maybe you might be marginally better off, but if you enjoy Sublime more, that matters.

If you are going for mastery level, that implies you would also learn Sublime's programming model inside and out. If you get to that level of expertise, you are probably going to be more efficient than most when it comes to editing text.

If you are going to be using one of those editors a lot anyway (because you will be ssh'ing into a Linux machine or rely on org-mode, for example), then perhaps that would shift the landscape.
I prefer VSCode if the hardware can handle it, but otherwise Sublime is my goto. If Sublime ever had as good Git support as VSCode I would permanently switch back to Sublime
I'm always bemused by software developers who are unwilling to pay for software. Especially software they actually use.

If software developers don't value software, there is something very wrong with our industry.
Well, I guess I'm moving switching from Caddy to NGINX then.

I like Caddy, it's been great, but I have no interest in paying for support, and I'm certainly not going to pay to remove a HTTP header.

Yes, I could spend time setting everything up to build custom versions of Caddy without the header, but it'll be quicker and easier to switch to NGINX.

Whilst I really appreciate all the work that has gone into Caddy, I am extremely annoyed that it's now going to cost me at least an afternoon to move away from.

If you're an existing Caddy user and don't want to (or can't) pay, your options are either don't upgrade, server ads for Caddys sponsors, or spend a significant amount of time configuring your own build process/switching to something else.

I can't help but feel this move is going to be bad for Caddys adoption.
And you're someone with some SV credibility and savviness, imaging what it's like for a typical scrub.
Wouldn't Resolve be closer to Premiere than After Effects? Having barely used resolve (my computer wasn't strong enough to mess with the 4k video I shot, and davinci didn't like the codec it was originally shot in) and with probably 25 hours in Premiere and After Effects, I could totally be wrong, but Premiere and Resolve felt more like editors, while AE was more for post effects and such.

The Caddy source code is Apache licensed, so if you build from source, you're good to go. That's the point: we know there are many projects that are just a little side income here and there, so you should be able to build your own Caddy binary from source and use it.

The pricing is on our pricing page: https://caddyserver.com/pricing

If your commercial venture isn't profitable yet, we will try to help you bootstrap. Just email us, sales@lightcodelabs.com and we'll see what we can do.
Running Caddy is literally copying a binary and your site over and setting up the systemd config. LetsEncrypt works automagically out of the box.

six. figures.
Self-plug: https://github.com/lunixbochs/actualvim uses NeoVIM to give you every Vim command/motion in Sublime, and some of the Vim UI (waiting on Sublime/Neovim changes for the rest). VSCodeVim is using it as a reference to drive part of their roadmap.
>But there are significant changes to the UI, that I'll have to get used to

Just use the theme you prefer, nobody forces the default one on you, right?
considering all the hype of a sharing economy would not the opposite be more true?
A lot of "zen" wisdom is vague and even illogical. Koans are a great (if not the great) example.

They don't intend to teach you anything. Instead, they create doubt in your beliefs so that you can see possibilities you were previously blind to.

In this instance perhaps the difference is using the "objective" as a starting point rather than a desired end result.
I know devs who use Sublime Text almost indefinitely without paying. They don't mind the little "Hey don't forget to buy" popup every once in a while.

We aren't putting popups on your site. :P
I think they're referring to the last item in the list at https://github.com/ankane/strong_migrations#dangerous-operat... which was linked from the article.
Agreed, Dad is an EE as well. From what I gather it would be easy to cause localized disruption but harder to cause a long lasting total outage.

Then again this is US only. I've been to Nicaragua before when lightening hit a power line. It took them over 3 days to get power back to the portion of the country I was in. It was such a common issue everyone has generators they would switch on, from hotels and restaurants to homes.
What general ideas did we sow in the past 20-30 years that, through minor iterations, are coming to (surprising) fruition today?
I like that better than having to open a file and read its source to figure out what type of module it exports...
I downloaded Sublime 3 to try it out, just now. The first thing I did was install Vintageous. I hit `{` and the cursor didn't move.

I love Sublime and used it for many years. It's fast, it looks good, and it's a great editor. It's hard to find an extension ecosystem like VSCode, though. I doubt I'll be returning to Sublime.
There's a whole subreddit ( r/savedyouaclick/ ) for these.
I've been a loyal user of Sublime until a few years ago when I switched to Vim. Still have this beauty in my computer because of how happily it handles large files <3
These news was a good reminder that I still used the trial version of the app. I somehow managed to getting used to all those "on-save reminder" you'd get every now and then.

Just bought it.
> No. The point is, you've annoyed someone who liked your software, used it for personal use (costing you nothing) and would've happily recommended it to colleagues.

This is worth keeping in mind. Personally, this change is putting me off Caddy to the point that I might stop using it for personal sites. The big feature for me - instant LetsEncrypt TLS certificates - can be done on other servers now fairly simply. So the end result might be that I no longer use Caddy, which means I'll no longer have it in mind for commercial projects I work on.
The discussion sparked by it revolves around "don't be cheap" and "try visual studio code". Just like every other discussion about Atom, Sublime or Visual Studio Code.
When you say migrate, what do you mean exactly?

Navigating the Rough Road to Success – ANKAURSPEAKS
One book that examines this scenario is "One Second After" by William Forstchen [0]. It involves a coordinated EMP attack over America and the effects on a small town in North Carolina. In the same vein as The Road but more detailed in how society devolves i.e. how people behave and what is valuable / scarce as the event progresses. It is not pretty but a fascinating read that will make you consider such a scenario and how you can better prepare.

I'm wondering how much of a role that played in the demand for a royalty. I'm guessing quite a bit, and that the total outcome might have been very different otherwise.
I would also like if the developer would agree to release the source code under a FLOSS license should he find working on Sublime Text is no longer worthwhile for him (could be financial but could also just be because he has lost interest in developing it, etc).
Yes. They could make some kind of small cloud service to pay for on a monthly/yearly basis. I would gladly pay for a service that would allow me to share my Sublime settings, addons and projects across all my Sublime installations. This can be done either way but I would happily pay Sublime devs for that.
Government's requirement to pay it's taxes in a currency of choice is what gives money it's long term value. There is no similar multi trillion dollar demand awaiting e-tulip's to maintain their value.

That's not to say they will fail quickly, just they need different supports.

> There's a difference between leaking things because you believe they are illegal, and leaking things because you don't like them.

Exactly that's what I meant: You shouldn't just leak illegal things (because the state itself defines most often that whatever it does is legal).

So we only have a moral compass left and it's understandable that those are different for each person. If Snowden thinks that "secret/confidential information on legitimate foreign intelligence operations" is not ok if the target is an ally, then that's his moral judgment and he can leak it.

If you disagree, you imply that now that most of the spying on citizens is legalized (post-facto), it's cool.

Or - Godwin's law to the rescue - now that the Reichtstag decided that secretly killing jews is fine, leaking is a moral offense ;)
Good price - is that SIM-locked to the prepaid carrier?
How often do you change phones? I get it more with the model of desktop computers, maybe even laptops. But phones? Why? Is this a vision of a world where phones are treated like umbrellas?

In any case, my desires are for the opposite. If you don't own the storage substrate, you don't own the data on it, and I prefer to own my data. I have an iPhone, but don't use iCloud, except for syncing a couple specific things.

I remember the first release, and remember the NeXT model of "home directories on an optical drive". I was really, really hoping at the time that the iPhone would be that home directory, portable between machines. Now, I join the chorus of folks who think I should just be able to plug a monitor and keyboard into my phone. But that also needs to come with a viable computing environment, which for me means a unix shell and hardware control. Which is why I'm bolting for an open phone, as soon one actually gets off the ground.
This is why it's important to have passions outside of those that pay the bills. And, if your passions and finances are entangled, which is the goal for most, it's important to build structures that allow times of absolute creativity (time in the goalless path). A writer still must spend time editing his work, which is a different process than creating. So, if you have profit in the back of your mind throughout the process, as the essay notes, you will stifle yourself. If you have an editing process, where you line up your creative expressions with profit, you're basically doing what a writer does when he edits.

Bill Walsh's The Score Takes Care of Itself is a fun book that, as the title suggests, deals with this idea.
It's not that hard to switch, especially for a developer that lives in the software. It might take a few days, but if your brain is still fairly plastic, you will adapt.

Agreed, I just paid my upgrade fee and it seemed too small.

I feel ST could have a checkbox during checkout to add an additional $50 or something in that range. "I'd like to be a supporter for an extra $50". I'm pretty sure I would opt-in to that, but maybe I'm just saying that now because there isn't such an option....
I think Jacque Fresco's idea with the Venus Project is worth pondering: https://www.thevenusproject.com/. I wish the philosophy makes it in new cities being built now. Whatever it may be, we need to live alongside nature and make sure the city produces waste that can be broken down by nature readily, and at the same time it must be a symbiotic relationship.

You are suggesting the exact opposite.

Who cares if they wanna debate it. It's something that happened a thousand years ago. If it were flipped, I'm sure people would be up to debating it. In either case what we find out about people a thousand years ago is neat, but does not affect the dead.

If this were about dinosaurs, I'm pretty sure we'd all be okay with reexamining the interpretations, so why care here?

If we learn something great. At least DNA is still considered useful in determining gender, which in some areas of academia seems up for debate.

Surely the human taking 70 steps to find an interesting image is _less_ aimless than the computer that took 30,000 steps and didn't find anything interesting? In other words a non-local goal was somehow forming in their mind drawing them down a particular path? Or am I missing something?
This cannot be done the way you describe it.

We already have VM features to inspect the scope of a function that failed. The problem is, Promises "handle" the exception, and prevent users from using this feature.

I will repeat the statement: Promises catch exceptions thrown from handlers. This means that the scope in which the exception was thrown doesn't exist anymore.
An unfortunate corollary is that slightly different general ideas are very difficult to get people to listen to because they feel like they already know it and it is not much new or the difference is negligible. This might be true of any particular case someone might think of but when the entire landscape is taken into account the multiplier pg mentions applies and can change things dramatically. But people don't seem to be well wired to think of the general.

And for any general multiplier to work, people generally need to be on board.

For example: there is a difference between economic inequality and desperate economic inequality -- the first is a mere difference in ownership and control. The second is /also/ a difference in ownership and control but that leaves one party or group bargaining against their physical well-being. There is much said about mere economic inequality but, by leaving out the desperation factor, the public conversation is tied up in knots (e.g. "Well why don't we give everyone a million dollars?!" nonsense) and the real problem, desperation and the conditions that lead to that state, persist despite having the tools to potentially tackle it. But any single example -- a single mother that has to take two minimum wage jobs to feed her kids -- can be reduced away. She could just do x, y, or z and her particular problem would be solved and she'd still be economically disadvantaged but not desperate to the point of worrying about her kids starving. And the conversation ends. We are back to the inconvenience of a weak bargaining position which is also described by the phrase 'economic inequality' and it all feels like the same, well trod and religiously guarded ground.

> As an information security person and someone that cares deeply about preserving my privacy and the privacy of my fellow citizens I see Facebook / Google / Amazon as sort of existential threats. For them to exist we can't maintain our privacy to a high degree.

Seriously, if I could upvote you several times, I would! You just said everything I believe in, including naming the corporations that worry me the most and make me feel hopeless sometimes. I try to educate people at every opportunity, fully knowing that it will take a long time for any effect to be visible. But I'm kinda used to that as an activist in other areas.

I don't know if there will ever be a decentralized and privacy protecting social networking platform that will beat Facebook and the like (pun unintended) in network effect, but I'd be ecstatic to see such a day! On the same lines would be reducing data collection almost everywhere and ensuring that privacy comes first - by governments or private entities. I have very little hope on the latter because information security is truly an afterthought in our Internet connected world where anyone can spin up WordPress, add some random plugins and start a "gig economy" or whatever the fad of the day is. It's too easy to start something software based that is completely insecure!
Which approach is "more realistic" depends on whether you are evaluating the decision between an electric car and a gas car at the margin, or not.

If it's you as a consumer buying the next car to be produced, then it is entirely appropriate to compare it that way, because your single purchase will not change the entire life cycle.
Seems like terminology is what causes a bunch of the confusion.

Bitcoin is used synonymously with ICOs. Bitcoin vs. Ethereum and the ICOs that spawn from it are not the same.

Bitcoin is continually referred to as a currency...and it might be or become one but what it seems to be now is just another financial asset. That is, a thing that acts as a storehouse of value like any other tangible or intangible asset. Whether Bitcoin is a good or bad storehouse of value remains to be seen. But mixing terminology confuses the issue.
Google's patent for identifying notifying and rewarding trendsetters
The book "Contagion: Why things Catch On" by Jonah Berger basically explains that we share when we have "strong emotions" triggered. That includes anger and anxiety.

So much of social media is dependent on triggering anger or anxiety to get you to share. Which is effective political memes make you mad. Because they're designed to.

I decided that being on a platform that uses me as a transmitter of memes to make cash by making me mad or anxious was (a) sociopathic on behalf of Facebook and (b) stupid on my part. I logged out, deactivated, and deleted. I've done it before, but now it feels permanent.

I'm on twitter sometimes (because there's much less social pressure wrt following/unfollowing) and Goodreads, where I follow people who read and write the books I like to read.
