Maybe it makes sense for MS to use one to keep the other honest. Maybe the negative PR from shutting down Atom isn't worth it. Etc.
For me the biggest argument in favor of atom is that because it's based on chromium it displays emojis properly, in colors. As someone who makes use of emojis extensively as variable and function names, this is very important.

If I were looking to invest, I wouldn't give a crap about reliability, cleaning, and maintenance. I'd want to see his business plan, and how he thinks he's going to make money when the highest amount of revenue this thing can produce is $72/hour, when it runs flawlessly.

The opposite is true. If people wanted these homes on large lots isolated from neighbors, you wouldn’t have to make it illegal to build other kinds of homes.

In my area, the government will use its monopoly on violence to keep you from building in a lot smaller than one third of an acre. Yet, in my pre-code subdivision (exempt from the minimum), houses are being built on 1/12 acre lots and selling just fine. In the rest of the county, the low density you see doesn’t reflect what people want. It reflects what a minority of people who control the local government have imposed on everyone else.

Tried VS Code several times, and failed to set it up correctly, so that I would be able to edit files over SSH and see a tree of files (without syncing, downloading entire projects, etc...). I just want to connect, browse to the needed file, double click on it, edit, save and close it. May be someone who has similar needs can point me to the right plugin/tutorial, I would try VS Code again?

But for now, using Atom as my primary editor, and was able to set it up the way I described above. Plugin which I use to edit files over SSH is Remote FTP (https://github.com/icetee/remote-ftp), if someone is interested.

The insurance companies report to our state board about what drives y/y premium increases in our market. This (the quote) is one of them (the 20% driving 80% of costs, if I may loosely invoke Pareto). Maybe I'm flying loose characterizing them as such, but if you're sucking up $1m-2m annually(!!) in subsidized health care services, I'm assuming you have some serious concerns preventing you from living up to your full employment potential (and God bless 'em, by the way).

On the individual market, you're in a very high-risk pool, and the only people substantially contributing (e.g. zero subsidies) are in the minority and, IME, increasingly disenfranchised, either leaving the system or going back to working for the man. BTW, my state did expand medicaid and that system has plenty of its own issues. How they intersect, I neither know nor care at this point.

>>"realize you're not always going to be healthy"

Do you honestly think people don't realize that? I mean really? Do you honestly think I wouldn't prefer to have an out-of-pocket maximum that comes with insurance? I mean, stop assuming people are idiots and look at the problem: the premiums on the individual market are often too expensive for new business owners if they're in this doldrum-zone of being too profitable for subsidies but not large enough to build a new lower-cost risk pool out of their own employees or wealthy enough to afford a premium that costs as much as a house with no asset to show for it (when, btw, their consumption of services is less than $1k/year). This is just the reality, and a major contributing factor to why many who think about trying to start a business simply don't. It's _literally_ prohibitively expensive.

Being a veteran of going two years unsubsidized on the individual market in one of the highest-cost states probably means I've done more to help distribute costs than most (i.e. "you"). That the system is unsustainable (and predictably so, btw) is not my guilt to bear. That some aren't familiar with the nature of the burden and simply think people make bad decisions doesn't bode well for a fix anytime soon. The day there's an affordable plan, I'll sign up again, rest assured. In the meantime, enjoy your employer-sponsored plan, my friend. You have less to worry about than I do while I fly solo.

Look in the section "Cross-Cultural Perspectives on Initiative: The Israeli and Soviet Armies" in http://www.dtic.mil/dtic/tr/fulltext/u2/a272857.pdf

An excerpt is below; what I can say from my understanding is that upper echelons of officers are deliberately understaffed, and superiors are encouraged to give general objectives (or sometimes even just areas of operation) to their subordinates rather than detailed orders; and much planning and communication is done peer-to-peer among officers of the same rank.

========

Among the many lessons that can be taken from the history of the Israeli Defense
Force (IDF) in combat, one key issue is the high degree of officer casualties, often
proportionally up to three times higher than enlisted casualty rates. Hence, leaders in the
IDF regard initiative as not just a point of pride, but an absolute necessity to overcome
leader casualties during battle. IDF Officer Candidates undergo training designed to force
them to develop initiative (some of these training techniques will be recommended in the
final chapter). In training, it is also emphasized that the commander will accomplish his
mission according to the general spirit of the command. Additionally, IDF standing
orders promote initiative (as well as aggressiveness an ' offensive spirit):

1. When orders can't get through, assume what the orders would be.

2. When in doubt, hit out. The short route to safety is the road to the enemy
hill.

I want to see a high-end robot restaurant that's run as a work of art rather than a race-to-the-bottom. Think Benihana, but run by KUKA robots. You'd sit facing a kitchen behind a glass wall and watch the robots fling things around dangerously -- knives, cutting boards, frying pans, etc.

You'd order a complicated dish and watch in amazement as the robots prepare it in front of you.
Well, to be fair to the authors, their idea became a system in the linux kernel within Google years ago. It's only the general public that has been deprived of its benefit.
I was a loyal Atom user until I tried and fell in love with VS Code. Although there's a richer set of add-ons for Atom, some of the VS Code are of a much higher quality - especially the ones backed by Microsoft. Anyway, GitLens [0] is one of the non-Microsoft ones.

Good for them!

I bought an extra set because of their legal battle a couple of years ago. They're sitting on my desk right now. I'm glad they've won, it's a poke in the eyes against ineffective prohibition, and a win for personal responsibility.

I'd prefer that there was a regulation on these such that they were only available to adults, however. They can cause terrible injuries that require surgery in uninformed and impulsive children.
That’s why I’m working on https://licensezero.com/!
I think they're actually talking about other items being the bottleneck as opposed to the rate at which you can grab information off of disks, so if you have any meaningful fraction of your data being hot at any one point there is no advantage between either.

Even with HDDs, if you actually want to use all your throughput you're likely going to have problems with the bus (rarely needs to be optimised in 99% of cases) vs the drives (needs to be optimised in all environments).
Wow, would you mind to share some code? I've never seen that approach

I tried to do something like this for a while, but ended up much preferring a local copy of the codebase with the changes rsynced across to the server. Without the files locally, the editor wasn't able to index them, so it was a little janky to jump to other files in the project, and a lot of the utility of plugins (like automatic code completion) just didn't work great since it couldn't find the relevant files to use.
for me, atom’s initial value proposition way back when was, (well, in addition to the customizability/programmability) the third party plug-in ecosystem. It was a pretty big deal for me at the time not to have to wait for my code editor to release an extension for that-one-thing-I-use.

Atom is slow for larger files, but the vast amount of third party plugins is a great asset.
Have you seen what goes into our childrens' clothes and toys lately? My kids and house are always covered in this microscopic glitter stuff that falls off their clothing and toys. The winter holidays are the worst. I never buy it but inevitably someone will get this junk for my kids, and I'm the evil dad if I say "no". I hate to be a grinch, but I really wish we would stop importing and/or selling this stuff. But nope, we seem to value cheap thrills over the future of our natural environment.

I am quite curious of the domain where you use emojis in function name? That sounds fun, and also from what I have seen of unicode support somewhat terrifying.

I work mostly in enterprise backend so variable names are typically boring, but I have never heard of emojis being used in var names.
How would that regulation even work? The children who would be eating them aren't old enough to be buying them, or anything for that matter.
How can you destroy water? It literally falls out of the sky. Israel makes drinking water from sea water. How can you destroy all food? There's no way we can wipe out all plants and animals, and we can eat lots of them, even if they're not our favorite food today. You can even eat cockroaches.

You're confusing actually destroying the things we depend on with carelessly using them and not trying to make sure they survive. An obvious counterexample - we do our best to eat as many cows as we can, yet the species is thriving! Maybe fish farms will do that to desirable fish species too. We didn't even wipe out sperm whales despite whalers doing their best to find all they could and having no concern for conservation.

I agree there's a _risk_ of that happening though. We just don't know for sure. My concern is with people who claim to know for sure when actually they're taking a dishonest extreme position to make their political point stronger. Of course we should be careful not to destroy the environment because if we don't, the downside to being wrong is terrible. Somehow most of the people arguing about this seem to be victims of their own extremism and unable to distinguish risk from certainty.
But why should they have to do it by hand?

We don't judge Excel and Librecalc by how easy it is to open their files and produce valid spreadsheets without good tooling.

5 minutes to make a burger from start to finish isn't the same as making 12 burgers per hour - the machine can probably prepare multiple burgers at a time (just speculation from the video, of course).
I'm really curious how something like that would be received. Is Benihana entertaining to watch because of the tricks themselves or because it's impressive that a human has learned to perform the tricks consistently?
In other words, the experience gets progressively worse the bigger the company. I'm not surprised, having worked in companies of that scale the amount of bureaucracy and general red-tape to do the smallest of things is absolutely irritating.
It’s not clear how many can be in the pipeline.
From another article on the case on westword.com:

There is no reason for Microsoft keeping two Electron-based code editor.

That sounds like a need for named and default constructor parameters. With the two of those, you can mix-and-match whatever values you want, with non-defaulted ones being required. And since the parameters are named, they self-document at the usage site.
What I've done is install VS Code on the remote system (usually a dev VM) and with X forwarding I open up VS Code, works perfectly, as others have suggested another approach is to just mount the VM or remote systems drive somewhere on your local machine but I've yet to try this.
I'm surprised that no one asking this - but what's the future for Atom in VSCode in light that they are pretty much direct competitors AND developed by same company now. Any plans to merge teams / unify development? ( Or opposite, close one of the projects ? ) Competition was definitely beneficial to both of them, but is it common to have healthy "intra-company" competing products?

Yes, it does. He didn't say, "it doesn't matter how beautiful your theory is, unless of course, it's sufficiently beautiful that it has high posterior probability such that you will dismiss an indefinite but potentially large number of experiments showing it's wrong until enough experiments have been done that you have to admit that it's wrong because it disagrees with them".

Of course, Feynman was right to dismiss those experiments. It's his quote which is cute, oversimplified, and wrong. It's Duhem-Quine all over.
> I'd prefer that there was a regulation on these such that they were only available to adults, however. They can cause terrible injuries that require surgery in uninformed and impulsive children.

I agree. There seems to be a category of products that are definitely safe in the right hands, but they do look particularly "overly innocuous" and, while I don't think they should be banned, they should at least require some sort of "We're not kidding around, these can actually kill you" warning in big, bold letters.

A couple years ago I read about a teenager who died after ODing on caffeine powder he bought on Amazon. While there were lots of tasteless "Darwin award" comments when this happened, it's not hard to think that someone would think a spoonful of caffeine powder would be like a couple of NoDoz, instead of actually being like 30 cups of coffee.

Seems like there is a middle ground between outright banning these products and completely unregulated sales of potentially dangerous items like this.
Expect Atom to be killed, or just have security updates very soon. Microsoft has teams right now looking at what they can bring in from Atom before shelving it. No sense in having two "electron" based editors.
It won't be going away. Microsoft and GitHub have both independently said they see a place for Atom and they're not getting rid of it.

Let's also not forget that the deal isn't done yet. They still have 5-ish months to go before it's done. It'll probably still go through but until then they're separate companies (and even after then GitHub is becoming a subsidiary).
Some of it is, but not this part.
I think you're being sarcastic but others seem to think you're serious. Care to clarify? I'm leaning towards you're being sarcastic. I'd flip a table if I opened up code full of emojis.
I hope vscode copies the text search interface from atom - after using atom for awhile I switched to and love vscode but the more functional/information rich search result navigator is the buggest thing I miss from atom ...
References are a safety net as far as I can tell. If they see something suspicious or get a bad impression they may request references to check in. Unless you have someone that has offered to give you a good one ahead of time, it's really not necessary to include them.

And fyi, if an old coworker called me up and asked for a reference I would totally give one. So no sweat.

Beef for people who don't eat beef?
I don't think they will. They keep making the same mistakes over and over, and they have paid for it.

-they keep making systems based on gimmicks which limit the ability to make games on them or fulfill customer needs: cartridge format, second tv screen, motion controls,docking capability, etc.

-they waste a lot of time on gimmicks as well. Labo is a big failure, but its just like the ecard reader, GBA connectivity, and even to an extent Amiibos.

-their systems are underpowered and make it extremely hard to be a not-Nintendo developer on them. The Switch in particular has a horrid 3 party library of underpowered indie games you paid half as much for on other systems.

-They cannot embrace online

-their eshop is the most frustrating out of the three.

-Their exclusives are very hit or miss. Wii Fit died, Brain age died, Starfox is dead, Nintendogs is dead, Metroid is virtually dead, Advance Wars died, etc. ARMS seems to have died too. They are coasting on the strength of three core properties: mario, zelda, and pokemon.

Its pretty worrisome. They also didn't do themselves any favors by sunsetting the DS line, their portables insured against the failures of the home consoles. The portables also were good experimental platforms. If anything there may be a good risk they pull a Sega and just develop on others hardware.

> You'll have to start all over getting your John Wick skin...

My understanding, having not played Fortnite:

* Some skins (like John Wick) are time-limited and purchase-limited and achievement-limited. In other words you have to purchase the Battle Pass for a given season and complete all the challenges before the time runs out. John Wick skins are past that window, nothing can be done about them now.

* Other skins are just time and money limited. I'm told that you can log in and there will be only a single skin for sale.

But really, discussing whether it's a big deal[0] is missing what's important here. Neither Sony nor Epic adequately warned players that this would happen. That's the meat of the issue right there.

Again, I've not played Fortnite, only seen it in the Epic launcher when I dust off Unreal Engine 4.

[0]: Do I really need to say it is a big deal that players who poured money into their account are now being told to start from scratch?
It's amazing just how much of a loaded word "telemetry" has become in the past few years --- 10 years ago it'd just remind me of space missions and such, like in the article, but now I associate the word more with pervasive surveillance and privacy invasion.

Nat Friedman, who will be the new CEO of GitHub, answered this. He said that both would be maintained as long as there were dedicated users, and that he expected it to be for a very long time.

I expect it could be used to promote Microsoft.

Surprisingly, Atom doesn't even say GitHub above the fold on https://atom.io/ There's an octocat above the fold, but it doesn't mention GitHub until further down the page.

Because they think that they've escaped, they don't notice that they haven't.
