VS Code can't handle very large files (multi-GiB), but Sublime can.
There's no need. Most links aren't simple yes/no facts to be evaluated and the comments provide reasonable discussion. Hacker News doesn't tend to discuss hoaxes which would need checking either.
I can't say for others, but for me, Sublime was the quickest standalone editor that I can download, run, and open big files really fast. I haven't found the same speed with Atom or VSCode.

I heard exactly the same from a friend who worked in admissions at an ivy league university. Applying for financial aid materially damages your application. Ability to pay is factored in just like test scores. The rich continue to get opportunities poor kids will never have.
> The implementation of the commitment scheme in the SwissPost-Scytl mixnet uses a trapdoor commitment scheme, which allows anyone who knows the trapdoor values to generate a shuffle proof transcript that passes verification but actually alters votes. This allows undetectable vote manipulation by an authority who implemented or administered a mix server.

I do not understand why this does not get more votes.
Maybe because the title was related to cryptography and did not mention the vulnerability.
You are free to make your own choiche, not to impose it on me.
It's fast. Very fast. It can handle very large files without any trouble. I love the features provided by other editors, but when I need performance, I usually stick to Sublime and (neo)vim. vim can't handle large files, though.

I've used the cheap VPS plans from OVH, Hetzner, and the 'baremetal ARM' instance from Scaleway (c1). This is not exactly an apples to apples comparison and all very anecdotal but:

OVH would typically have one extended outage a year, usually related to something like an excavator severing fibre cables or diesel generators not starting in a brownout. The supporting infrastructure was nice, you could get e.g. free primary DNS hosting for external domains, and the domains they sold were cheap too. RESTful API was nice. SSD performance & storage space (bumped up only recently) was on the low side. Quite a few datacenter locations to pick from.

Scaleway 'baremetal ARM' was a mixed bag. I didn't like the ipv4 NAT and related networking, they took a long time before you could use your own kernel (a feature promised at launch), crypto acceleration module on their Marvell ARM processors (CESA) didn't work for a long time due to a borked devicetree and after it did support was vestigial (had to patch and maintain your own libraries etc). Networked SSDs were a bit of a pain and a kernel update once broke them leaving all my instances on recovery console unable to mount anything... Performance was meh. It was the cheapest way to have a dedicated instance though.

I've been now on Hetzner for about two years and I don't have any particular complaints. It's solid. There was one bigger outage last year but didn't affect my datacenter. Pricing is very competitive, API is functional, processor crypto extensions (AES-NI) are exposed through the KVM (I think this wasn't the case with OVH but perhaps changed now). Only two datacenter locations (DE and FI). Cheap snapshots and backups. I barely ever need to log into the management console. HTH.
I will note that basic Buddhism and the Gnosticism appear to agree.

The first noble truth of Buddhism can either be rendered as "suffering is inevitable," or "life is unsatisfactory." In my limited understanding of Gnosticism, The other three truths are that suffering is caused by a misunderstanding of our essential nature, that liberation from this suffering is possible, and that there's a path anyone can follow to attain this liberation.

In Gnosticism (per Wikipedia) that all matter is evil, and the non-material, spirit-realm is good. There is an unknowable God, who gave rise to many lesser spirit beings called Aeons. The creator of the (material) universe is not the supreme god, but an inferior spirit (the Demiurge). Gnosticism does not deal with "sin," only ignorance. To achieve salvation, one needs gnosis (knowledge).

Look kinda similar, do they not? While there's no evidence that Buddhist thought directly created Gnosticism, Buddhism had been around for a few centuries by the time Gnostic Christianity appeared, and even though there weren't many Buddhists in the Roman empire, there were Buddhists in Afghanistan by around the time of Alexander, and some of the monks were known to be Greek. I'd also point out that Mani (creator of Manichaeism) cited both Jesus and Buddha as inspirations. Anyway, long story short, these ideas were percolating throughout the civilized world in later classical times, so I'm not surprised that some Christians tried to incorporate them in their practices. Same thing happens today, for instance with the "Jubus" (Jewish Buddhists).

Not only that, but the data we have so far from the second crash (ADS-B data showing irregular vertical speed, see https://www.flightradar24.com/blog/flightradar24-data-regard...) is consistent with both accidents having a similar cause. Grounding all airplanes from the same model until preliminary data from the (already recovered) flight recorders can confirm or discard that hypothesis is prudent.

> For signing there’s more margin; it’s okay if half the people never verify your signatures.

The problem that people may not verify signatures is one, but what's far worse is that bad email clients won't show the email content for emails signed with S/MIME certificates that have later expired. I was in an organization where S/MIME certificates were always issued with a validity of one year, and I used to sign all my mails. After a year, a colleague told me (and showed me) that my previous mails in Outlook couldn't be read any longer. Turns out that Outlook has a convoluted process to say "Yes, I know that the certificate used to sign this mail has now expired, but it was valid at the time of signing and I just want you to let me use it for older emails or just show me the email content with some warning". I had to go through a series of steps to make sure Outlook trusted those certificates for all mails.

Email clients need to improve a lot more on usability if people are to use signatures and also manage multiple (expired) certificates.

Or more so, DON'T have. I don't know if I'd qualify for "ordinary person" here but regardless, of the emails I went through this morning I don't think I can think of ONE that I cared about actually being from the sender it said it was from. There are very few that matter that much.
Because most people are more concerned with what they are making, than spending time pissing about learning how to work out and set up an editor that has 40 year old UX. Things like VSCode and Sublime are clean and accessible, and allow you to start producing and coding quickly and painlessly.

I'm writing with Papyrus Autor [1], which is pretty expensive proprietary software that, at least for the German language, has many advantages over other writing programs available. Especially the Duden spell-checking integration is much better than in any other software. IMHO, it's worth the money for that alone.

If it weren't for this software, I'd definitely use Markdown and Emacs.

Quoting:

> In some cases the decline is much steeper—30-40% from episode to episode: I speak from experience. This isn't just theoretical: it's why there won't be a third book in the series beginning with "Saturn's Children" and "Neptune's Brood": they sold okay in the USA, but then I changed US publisher—and the British sales took a 40% dive between book 1 and book 2, so I couldn't fall back on the UK market.

>

> A series where the sales figures of book n are the same as book n-1, n-2 .. 1 are flat is worth persisting with, because it's bucking the market trend and not stagnating. And a series where the sales figures actually grow from book to book is a prize beyond compare.

I don't quite agree with this. Of course there will be a falloff between entries in a series, but that does not mean that writing an additional book is a wasted effort. The potential sales of n+1 book get added to all the books coming before n, with corresponding % loss of readership between books. So, one should also add the increase in sales in all the books coming before the new release.

Do you have a source for that showing causation? Also I don't recall the Amazon area or any of the remote parts of Brazil I've been to having a problem with stability or crime. The crime is in the cities. Where landlines run underground anyway and don't need to be secured.
Sounds like excellent advice. In the Netherlands, we have spaces where you can leave and take books. You could always bind some books yourself (google 'DIY book binding'), or buy a small batch of books, and leave them at such a place.

I also remember there are companies that allow you to publish and sell your work, and handle the printing and shipping. I don't remember the exact companies, but that sounds like a good fit for the poster.
Have you considered translating one of them and self-publish it in digital format? Could help you gain some following and use that to be able to publish the rest.

I used Sublime for over a couple years. At the time it was the greatest editor I had ever used. But to get "basic" features (that come default with VScode) required plugins.

And then plugins would conflict sometimes, but there were no answers online to why something wouldn't work because the problems were obscure and rare.

Also, there was some simple copy/paste problems (limitations?) on Linux as well.

I liked it so much that I dealt with all of these issues from nearly day one without complaint. I had tried VScode, and at the time Sublime was just faster smoother and all around more polished.

But I tried VScode about a month or two ago, and it came default with features that I had to use a few plugins (with overlapping and conflicting features) with Sublime.

I was actually sad to switch to VScode, simply out of principle. But VScode is built how I would expect an editor to work by default, where Sublime, as fast as it is, lost some zip after a few too many plugins, and actually has fewer features (that I really require/use frequently) than VScode does.

Also, vscode greatly simplified settings, snippets and other text based settings that I think Sublime could take note of.

Edit: Another note, because VScode comes default with many features, the keyboard shortcuts seem a little more consistent.

I hope Sublime steps up their game, as I think VScode is standing on their shoulders, and competition is good.
A phone is in almost all regards worse than using a calculator with actual buttons. Voice is even less efficient. The major reason to use a physical calculator at your desk is because it's a dedicated device that's always ready, and fast. Anecdotally, being able to use it efficiently one-handed also plays a role.

Very interesting article, thank you for sharing.
Your distinctions between shame and censure are arbitrary and meaningless. e.g.:

Censure: "You shouldn't have done that."

Shaming: "You shouldn't have done that. Shame on you."

The point is the same. If an action is deservedly shameful, then so be it.

Shame that brings positive change is not a bad thing; it is a natural social consequence. The problem is lack of forgiveness even after repentance. How can one's debt to society be paid when convicted by the court of public opinion, prosecuted by the NYT? The exile is indefinite.

One of the problems in our society now is shamelessness, i.e. the lack of social consequences for some actions encourages people to take them. Compounding that is the media, which now acts as self-appointed arbiters of who should be ashamed, when, and why, depending on a person's current favor with the politically powerful. Displease the wrong people, and words uttered a dozen years ago without complaint are suddenly cause for outrage, according to them. Meanwhile, others who said much worse things yesterday are lauded. It's all a big farce.

Democracy dies in darkness, all right--the darkness of the evil of the contemporary press.

So I looked, starting at fhi.no, and found quickly found several studies that use data based on either the Norwegian cancer registry, the cause-of-death registry or both.

These aren't samples. The cause of death registry includes all deaths and the cancer registry includes everyone who's been diagnosed with cancer, even people who received no treatment. This means that studies that investigate e.g. cancer caused by smoking and use these data sources are nationwide rather than sampled.

I'd much rather have the confidence of using Debian inside of my images than save 100MB on a base image (which is about what it is in a real web project with lots of dependencies).

Was “for different reasons” too unclear? It’s right at the beginning of the comment. Different reasons but the impact is still dangerous.

For example IE6 was not reporting my location to MS despite me turning the option off. Just because some people are ok with that doesn’t make it less of a problem. It just makes it a different (bad) one.

And in the passive aggressiveness [0] of your comment you didn’t even think that there are far better reasons why IE6 sucked. If feels random and based less on long term use experience.

I am afraid the day may come when I can't get audio equipment with a mechanical volume control (without a layer of software in between). Even today, some laptops rely on software to mute their speakers when the headphone jack is connected.

I dread the scenario of being in a public place, like a library or about to give a talk, resuming my laptop from suspend, and loud music (or worse!) blaring out of the speakers, with all audio controls unresponsive as the system churns (or crashes!) under the load of resuming.

One difference is that Signal and Whatsapp are synchronous so they are able to use deniable authentication. That's in contrast with asynchronous email where signing a message can then be proven to have come from the sender to a third party - not always desirable.
