I mean I use VS Code a lot more often, and PyCharm / JetBrains IDES moreso than I do Sublime Text but I wouldn't say it's the worst purchase. I bought a text editor that's got out of the box syntax highlighting for most languages and decent enough linting plugins to catch some of the syntax errors I may be about to miss.

I only wish Sublime Text were able to (out of the box) mount / SSH into any server like emacs does (using TRAMP). I'm finding myself using VIM lately mostly because it's a step up from nano which uses tabs, not sure how to tell it how to space things, nano is perfect for Go I suppose. I have to figure out how to configure VIM for spacing things properly though, but I mostly install Sublime Text on VM's I write code in.
It's an old trick of antisemites. If you lurk antisemite pages or speak with antisemites, you'll find that a common talking point is the importance of Jews in the birth of communism (and the supposed link between Jews and communism in general), and likewise the importance of Jews in contemporary finance and politics. If you were to listen to such talking points, you'd argue that they were not actual anti-semites, but merely anti-finance-semites, anti-globalization-semites, anti-Soros-semites and the like.

Being the author of important pieces of literature unfortunately does not prevent one from holding wrong positions - a similar, well-known case is James Watson, co-discoverer of the DNA, Nobel Prize in Medicine, and yet holding eugenetic views.
How is it that the article makes no mention of the significant accessibility issues with the editor and the resignation of at least one key figure in the community?

I really wanted to keep using Firefox, but it is just too slow on my Mac. It makes itself and all other things I do very slow. Until this is resolved there is no way I can use it. Instead I use Brave now.
It's weird they didn't include the pre-built page from the Gutenberg demo to highlight the new editor.

Right now the first impression is quite arid and doesn't look anything like https://make.wordpress.org/core/2018/10/16/introducing-twent...
That is one very interesting book you have. Please recall subset theory from mathematics.

If someone doesn't like Jews that helped Nazis to kill other Jews ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jewish_Ghetto_Police ), does that make him anti-semite?

Because in my book it means he might like Jews in general with this small exception for criminals, murderers, and Marxist ideologues.
We maintain internal forks of Eto and Nancy. They are easy enough to grok for us to modify and maintain, even when development upstream dies.

Most of the user interaction is happening via the web app served by the server. The local clients are "just" for configuration, comparable in complexity with e.g. Tunnelbear or Glasswire. We use some custom grid elements, which have been easy to implement.

Eto is the only framework out there which gives you native GUIs everywhere. That's what was most important to us. Native speed, native OS integration (tray menus, notifications etc.). It's also really easy to learn for devs who might have been WPF-exclusive before.
Agreed. If you’re trying that hard to build a relatable hook, maybe what you’re writing about just simply isn’t that important/useful?
What the article doesn't mention is that the new editor is completely incompatible with a serious amount of plugins due to the redesigned Edit page. There are severe accessibility issues with it[^1], and, in general, it breaks formerly working core features, such as reordering galleries (this is a first hand experience).

Gutenberg is going to be disastrous in short term, in long term - we're talking years -, it may come out nice.

Those not willing to deal with it should take a look at https://www.classicpress.net/

The political situation in western Europe in the 1930s was explosive, specially so in Spain. On the one hand there was the then quite new Soviet Union stoking unrest in a, by contemporary standards, shockingly poor, unhealthy and exploited working and peasant class. On the other hand, you had much of the rest of society scared out of their wits by the very real prospect of revolution at their doorstep, and more than willing to support and make do with a strongman that, first and foremost, promised to crush the communists. Either side would have crushed the other if victorious.

I recommend anyone to read good books about the Spanish Civil War (like for instance Hugh Thomas' very readable history) to understand the huge polarization of both extremes, the violence, and how those in the middle where totally swept aside. I doubt that the only possible outcome, given those conditions, could have been but one side exterminating the other, either the left or the right.

Our world is, fortunately, very different. Of late, given an increasing political polarization and rise of populism, comparisons have been made with the 1930s, but if you start investigating you will realize that current conditions are nowhere near as bad.

I don't know where you are from, and how familiar you are with European politics, but modern euro-socialism is much closer to pure capitalism than anything the stalinists would have created in Spain.

I strongly dislike Franco, and I am aware that thanking him for preventing a stalinist Spain may turn heads these days. But the fact is that this is exactly what the West thought at the time. Franco became a pariah right after World War II as the only remaining leader that had supported Hitler. However, as soon as the reality of the Cold War kicked it, all that was forgotten, and western leaders (and specially the USA) started toasting him, indeed, as the man who stopped communism in a country in a very strategic position.
I've traveled to developing countries (not Africa).

Reality is mobile money is big - it basically lets the poor / unbanked have kind of a virtual wallet it seemed. I never signed up (westerner with a Visa card and USD) but didn't feel like it was locking people out. Folks using these wallets could transfer funds internationally to relatives surprisingly easily it seemed (I'm used to western union) as well.

Be interesting if something like these non-bank mobile wallets ever come to US (in overseas countries you can load your wallet with cash on street everywhere so you don't have to have a visa / debit card to do so).
Taking users away from Google is still a big ask. Google has been thoroughly anti-competitive in this space - they deliberately downgrade the experience in non-Chrome browsers across many properties. For example, typing "GOOG stock" in Chrome/Android brings up a whole lot of details not found with Firefox/Android. There's no technical reason to do this, and they should be pulled up for abuse of monopoly power. Google search itself was better on Chrome till recently, though it's caught up now on Firefox/Android.

Add: I've been a Firefox/Android user for a while now - and with ad-blocking the UX experience and battery life is much better than with Chrome. I encourage everyone to try it (with ad-blocking) for at least a week. Personally for me, Firefox on Android is a bigger deal than on the desktop.
Because it's an eight sentences announcement article and not an opinion piece or an in-depth review.

That being said, it's amazing a CMS with such a market share and devmind seems to be so constrained in resources.
Intel will likely respond with the minimum amount of changes that combined with their brand inertia will result in maximum revenue for them.

That, at first, will likely seem like the "rational" way to balance this "new competition" from AMD with keeping investors happy, but they're forgetting one thing -- in that equation the "brand inertia" they love to take advantage of is going to erode with each such "minimal response", until there is none or very little left.

What I'm trying to say is that consumers will put up with a company releasing sub-par/low-value products because they "trust the brand" only for so long, before they give in and start embracing the competition's brands -- as they should.

I mean, unless you, as a consumer, suffer from the Stockholm syndrome, you shouldn't be rewarding Intel for being forced to lower prices on some of its products or add more cores, just like you shouldn't have rewarded Comcast for offering fiber in places where Google Fiber arrived. You should be rewarding the competitor that caused that to happen -- that is if you'd still like that competition to continue in the future.

In Google Fiber's case, that competition disappeared because people were unwilling to reward it and stuck with Comcast/AT&T. And now they'll suffer from it for another decade or so, until another major disruption/competition appears (SpaceX satellites maybe?).
Which is why I said "on certain Macs". From my anecdotal experience, I've never had a problem with Firefox on macOS with any resolution.
What design choices mean third party Android browsers can do JIT but third party iPhone ones can't?
Just a few weeks ago I tried Firefox as my main browser for a while. I had to give it up because of battery life. This is on Windows 10.

Edge preserves my battery the best, however Edge is not practical to use, so Opera with the battery saving option is currently the best bet.

Firefox is still my main development browser though.

Cliqz is a company that primarily provides a Firefox based browser with privacy-oriented changes.

Their slogan is „The no-compromise browser.
Cliqz gives you relevant search results and does not leak your private data.”

Sounds good on the surface, but what they really mean with „does not leak” is leak to Google. The Cliqz browser sends every keystroke in real-time to some supposedly Cliqz owned AWS instances. I verified that myself with Wireshark. They outright lie about this in their Transparency Cockpit: ”Telemetry data do not contain any information about queries, search results or visited URLs.”

Now Cliqz is owned by Hubert Burda Media one of Germany‘s largest media groups. Honi soit quit mal y pense.

I wrote a comment about this about a year ago[1] and also one about their relationship with Ghostery[2] more recently.

Hubert Burda Media is also one of the primary drivers behind EU link tax and upload filter legislation.

No, I meant where the elderly person lives. Those scams usually don't run over WesternUnion or so.
You can run your own JavaScript in WKWebView, which is what Firefox uses, so you can run "extensions" to the extent of what the App Store will allow you to do. What you cannot do in this case is load content blockers, which a newer API that uses a list of selectors to block elements without JavaScript at all. Currently this API is limited to Safari itself and SFSafariViewController, which is untenable for Firefox because it is essentially "Safari in a box" in that the component provides its own UI and you essentially cannot interact with it at all.

...and last year, and the one before that, and the one before that. And each of them has, for some unfathomable reason, failed to materialize. But that's just a small matter of sky-piloting (in the original sense, i.e. "pie in the sky").

Amazon seems to be pushing AMD-based instances lately, at a lower cost than the Intel-based counterpart. So things are definitively changing in this spectrum.

To which nobody will listen and who'd have zero power in the standards committees, as unfortunate as it may be.
That's an excellent explanation.

A small correction: if I recall correctly, the Corporation is legally allowed to give some money to the Foundation, and it does so. But the allowed amount is quite small -- maybe a couple a million a year? I don't remember exactly -- and only a tiny fraction of the Corporation's profits.

I agree. My biggest problem with it is that extensions are still global.

It is an old trick of right-wing Jewish extremists and (paradoxically) marxism-communism apologists.

You take a person that likes Jews in general with exception of some small group of Jewish criminals, murderers or marxists, and call him anti-semite.

Please go over subset theory again. If I don't mind eating cupcakes, with exception of small group of cupcakes with nutella, it does NOT make me a cupcake hater.
>dripping with deadpan sarcasm

It seems that sarcasm became prevalent in Soviet Russia because it's a way of expressing opposition without party members being able to use your words to denounce you.
I don't believe one really can. That's a good argument against Apple's walled garden IMHO.
Front-End Microservices
Not sure what the situation is nowadays, but extensions were not supported due to Apple’s App Store policies.

I would be happy just with Safari’s content blockers, but apparently they use a type of web view that doesn’t support that either.
> As a tourist, you obviously won't see anyone who can't afford visiting a touristy area.

This is totally untrue. Tourist areas attract beggars.

Beggars may not have smartphones, but penetration in first-tier cities goes much farther than "relatively well-off members of the middle class".
I can see the potential problems, but maybe a part of the solution would be to legally give the poor a right to a basic/free bank account.
I hardly think there was a unified Western view at the time (perhaps amongst governments but not individuals). George Orwell fought in Spain against Franco's troops in an anarchist unit (POUM) and he hated Stalinism as strongly as anyone.

His Homage to Catalonia is a superb account of his time in Spain (and just how chaotic things were politically):

Interesting that one cannot critique Jews without being called an anti-Semite.
If the problem is that some people don't have a checking account, wouldn't it better to provide them with a cheap/free checking account?

Even if all local shops accept cash, there's still tons of stuff you can't do without a checking account.

On the topic of cash-free living: I only use cash for 3 things these days: to buy cheese, to pay my cleaning lady, and for my son's weekly allowance. Even the babysitters accept online payment these days.
I found the comment section on the NYT blog more intriguing than the article.

The arguments brought forth by Pullum (I don't appreciate your appeal to authority) are completely ridiculous, examples:

> .. both authors were grammatical incompetents.

There are many ad hominems of this kind in the article.

> No force on earth can prevent undergraduates from injecting opinion. And anyway, sometimes that is just what we want from them.

Whether you should write subjectively surely depends on the type of text that you are writing. Providing style advice based on expectations of which urges undergraduates can't resist is laughable.

> "There were a great number of dead leaves lying on the ground" has no sign of the passive in it anywhere.

The book does not claim that this sentence is in passive form at all: "Many a tame sentence of description or exposition can be made lively and emphatic by substituting a verb in the active voice for some perfunctory expression as there is, or could be heard." (cited sentence follows)

Pullum also cites three works of literature from around 1900 that do contain the phrase none of us exactly once (?!) followed by a plural verb to make the point that none of us should be followed by a plural verb.

> "The copy editor's old bugaboo about not using \"which\" to introduce a restrictive relative clause is also an instance of failure to look at the evidence. Elements as revised by White endorses that rule."

I don't know where he found that rule; my edition of the book does not contain it.

For that article Pullum gets no respect from me. He set out to bash the book and its authors with ad hominem arguments, falsifications and far-fetched proof.

Long term supply contracts - Intel has many gigabucks a year in revenues from them. This is what AMD has to attack.

On tech side, AMD is going for continuous increase in density. A lot depends on cooperation of memory makers. Cheap HBM2 or HBM3 on package with CPU will probably the only thing that will endanger Intel's position.

"It's also not clear how any other tool would have detected the long-lived, persistent outbound connection with relatively low bandwidth"

Perhaps, but this extension could have been stealthier. It was using a plaintext web socket on port 6332. If the extension author had instead gotten a Google analytics account, and exfiltrated data via encrypted https GETS to Google servers, it might have never been spotted. That kind of traffic likely happens 24/7 in a typical corporate environment.

> What is quite sad is that beggars are not able to equip themselves with contact-less payment systems

In Sweden I've seen a beggar with a "Swish" number displayed. (Swish is the domestic cashless person-to-person payment system, all you need to use it is a cell phone and a bank account). So it's not impossible for beggars to be cashless.
I'm not sure if it should be called a theory, given that it's completely unfalsifiable. It is totally impossible to determine through observation whether or not anything beyond yourself is conscious, unless by conscious you mean physically awake.
It's not surprising that big corporations are doing this kind of stuff. Their existence now relies not on productivity and efficiency but merely on raising the barrier to entry for competitors.

Corporations have already maxed out their capacity in terms of production efficiency; it's just really hard for them to coordinate so many employees efficiently. If coordinating large numbers of people was easy (and didn't become exponentially harder relative to number of people), we'd probably all be wealthy communists.

Instead of focusing on how to do their own job better, corporations have shifted their focus towards how to make it harder for competitors to do theirs.
Where do you see the ethernet port?
The matter is that he is specifically denouncing Jews in their link with the USSR, that's what makes him worthy of being called antisemite. It's not merely a coincidence (i.e. he denounces a specific social group which happens to contain many Jews), he singled them out in the context of denouncing the Soviet Union.
I know this is a joke, but there’s truth in it. If he aspires to hit a high level of mathematical altitude, the time for that has likely sailed.

There is nothing wrong with adopting a more conversational style for professional writing, particularly in our industry. If you were in e.g. academia, failure to adopt the consensus tone of journal articles might be career-limiting, but you can get a way with an awful lot in tech.

Your comment seems comprehensible; I wouldn't have been surprised to see it from a native speaker in an internal email thread.

My biggest concrete suggestion is to write 10X more in 2019 than you did in 2018, and explicitly ask people for feedback on it. (10X is a pretty big leap, but most people write far, far less than they think they do, and the cure for being inexperienced is experience.)

No, most of the small customizations are very specific to our application. Mostly how closing events or notifications are handled. TBH at least I don't think much about Eto day to day, it's just there and works. Questions mostly have been answered by existing issues, where the author seems responsive enough.
Android doesn't do codesigning, at least in the way that iOS does: on iOS, all code that executes must be signed and approved by Apple before it is allowed to be loaded by the OS into memory (with some exceptions e.g. Safari). JIT gets around this because applications can now generate and execute arbitrary code, which is obviously something that Apple doesn't want. So this basically means that you are not allowed to put apps like this on the App Store.
