I used to use Sublime a couple years back, I do not remember having a paid license though. When I had a slower laptop (I ran Arch on an 8GB/i5 4th Gen) I felt the need for a faster editor.

Today, I tried Sublime Text 4. It is definitely faster to launch and overall UI felt more responsive even in a couple clicks. But I could not see how to browse within the components/files (Ctrl+Click usually) in the folder that I opened (TypeScript/Deno project). VS Code does that without much effort. I could not see how to set debug breakpoints on the editor gutter (left).

I have an i5 9th Gen/20GB laptop now and I would still like a faster editor/IDE. I would be happy to take a license too. But getting debugger and project level browsing setup should be really easy and I feel VS Code does this, even if the overall UX is a bit slower. Plus plugins like Prettier, Git viewer and some other tooling.

I will spend some time but if anyone takes some time to figure these out, please share them. We need more editors so that we do not end up having one winner and then the winner starts becoming a slow monster...
I don't have a quote handy, but systemd maintainers have previously said they are not interested in also maintaining a giant public API of utility functions, on top of everything else.
This is just conjecture, but I think tinnitus is caused by vibration of the inner ear that doesn't come from the eardrum. The inner ear is designed to be resonant for audio frequencies, and the earplugs contain them, maybe too much. Just N=1 longitudinal study involving an early stage career and now way too much podcast listening. Covering tinnitus doesn't make it better. Covering the 'noise' is futile. The best you can do is try not to make it worse. You'll never get relief. But you can achieve surrender.

Basically, any temperature difference between two regions of space can be used to do Work* (essentially, there is a maximum amount of Energy that you can extract from that temperature difference to do anything with). If everything in your closed system is the same temperature, then there is no Energy that you can capture in order to do Work.

Well, if we have this demon that can open this gate at _just_ the right times so that it can separate hotter particles from colder particles, then it is able to _create_ a temperature difference where there wasn't one. So, this demon would allow us to use our closed system to do an infinite amount of Work. It would act as a sort of perpetual motion machine.

- Step 1: Let the demon open the gate at the right times to separate the hotter gasses (more energetic individual particles) from the colder gasses (less energetic individual particles).

- Step 2: Replace the barrier/gate with a heat engine, and let the natural flow of energy from hot -> cold, drive our heat engine and push the box.

- Step 3: Once the temperature has diffused enough that our heat engine can no longer do any productive Work (that is, the temperature has equalized), then we replace the heat engine with the barrier/gate and let the demon go back to work.

That sets us up to discuss the final sentence. With the advent of information theory, we now know that there is a _minimum amount_ of Work that a hypothetical demon would need just to know when to open and close the gate. That Work requires Energy to perform. As it happens, that Work that the demon must do requires more energy than the demon is able to create by separating the particles.

Which means the closed system of particles + demon will still increase entropy, because the demon _consumes more energy than it creates_. Basically, we were able to do the math about the theoretical limits of a perfect demon, and if you were able to make one it doesn't break the 2nd law of thermodynamics.

The reason this stumped scientists for a long time is we didn't have the ability to calculate the _minimum amount of Energy_ that would be needed by the demon's brain.

* Work here being the physics concept of work. For example, we could move a box around by using a heat engine to turn the temperature difference into adding a physical force to the box.
Why Data Labeling Is So Important for Machine Learning?
Although I started working with computers in the days of DOS and before Windows, I never did much networking so can't say I'm too familiar with this stuff; but with the binaries being in the kilobytes range instead of megabytes, and correspondingly simpler abstraction layers, it probably wouldn't be too difficult to track down the packet loss bug even without any source code. My random-but-somewhat-educated guess is that certain sizes of packets are lining up with frame boundaries and causing something to think it has already sent a packet when it hasn't yet done so.

Well, any code that triggers undefined behavior is already buggy by definition. I think it would be a lot more fruitful if, instead of blaming compilers for doing their job (trying to optimize code in a language that allows all sorts of potentially unsafe behavior), people enumerated the specific UB they had issues with. For example, a lot of people don't consider integer overflow, too-large bitshift, nonterminating loops, type punning without union, or "benign" data races automatic bugs in themselves. Some people don't even consider a null pointer dereference an automatic bug (but what about a null pointer field access, or array index that happens to land on a non-null page? Is the compiler allowed to optimize field accesses to pointer arithmetic, or not?).

Anyway this is all fine, but as you can imagine you lose a lot of optimizations that are facilitated by all that UB, so the compiler authors should then counter with some way to signal that you want the original undefined semantics (for instance, references in C++ and restrict pointers in C), or provide compile-time checking to prevent misuse that messes up optimizations (e.g. Rust's Send+Sync for avoiding data races, or UnsafeCell for signaling lack of restrict semantics / raw pointers for lack of non-nullability).
It’s even funnier when those same devs who struggle with packaging and distribution in their best language go on to work at Fortune 500 companies and require constant devops assistance to actually make what they wrote work in even a test env. “But it works on my laptop!”
Hey, Gavin - I got my vaccine right here:

Yes exactly. I have very, very few negative things to say about Porsche but the price they charge for that dumb loop is one of them. I'm sure VW, Audi, BMW etc also overcharge for the same part but likely not to the same extent.
Teams is also full of "doing too much" in the GUI too for what its worth. Seems to be modern Microsoft's thing.
Introvert here.

I gain no energy from interacting with others, ever. I may find certain group activities fun, but definitely do not gain energy from it. The only time I seek out others for an activity is when the solo or AI (ex: in a game) alternative just doesn't work as well.
Congratulations on the new release though, it's been my favorite editor for years. Just a heads up, when you upgrade an existing license, the instructions say to click on Help > Enter License, but you have to remove the current license before you can enter a new one.
Its more than a face, it's also tone of voice, posture, and so on. With it gone, people tend to assume the worst, because humans are biased to interpreting things in the negative when something is ambiguous.
There's other cultures where most people don't natively speak the business language/dialect - not all Chinese speakers are native Mandarin for instance.

Actually, there's some Japanese companies that try to use English in the office even if they don't have any foreigners.
Paying more for something because it has become a valuable collector item is very much not the same as paying more for something because the value of currency has decreased.
Yes, exactly. There's some theoretical minimum amount of energy per non-reversible operation that a perfectly efficient CPU wouldn't be able to beat.

> or even in developing more advanced computer chips, which may be approaching a fundamental limit dictated by Landauer’s principle.

However, this last part is a bit of a stretch... Current hardware is many many orders of magnitude above this limit.
I hope I’m not the only one that grinned a little bit reading that, sort of happy for the guy.
The two I'm currently testing are Seeed Studio's router board and DFRobot's as well.
I don't want to take any thunder away from Sublime but VSCode basically opens instantly on M1.
This isn't just a RISC-V thing. There is significant bureaucracy in Linux to push back on vendors doing even dumber stuff with hardware in the future; that was a lot of the discussion around my patches to support the M1. We have to support the hardware, but do so in a way that does not encourage vendors to push things further (we know Apple doesn't care about any of this, but e.g. nobody wants Qualcomm or Broadcom, who do build platforms that intend to run Linux as a first-class citizen, to get any silly ideas).

But this is all stuff you work out by looking at the finer points of the implementation and doing it in a way that does not encourage further divergence; certainly throwing stuff in staging isn't how you do it.

Ultimately, Linux's goal is to support the hardware; that support may be done in such a way to discourage future "bad" hardware, but it still has to be there as proper support, if the features have merit. For example, we have a patch series in review right now to support KVM on the M1, because (surprise surprise) Apple did some nonstandard stuff there too. It's definitely not going in staging though :)

On the other hand, it's less likely that mainline Linux will quickly gain support for, say, things like Apple's proprietary security features (their pointer auth extensions, paging protection stuff, etc) unless there are similar mechanisms implemented in other vendors' CPUs, because those things provide only marginal benefit for end users of specific systems, and Linux has bigger security fish to fry first.
Saying hai is "correct" is misleading in its own way: no English-speaking child will say "correct" to "Would you want some ice cream?", but "hai" is what a Japanese kid would say.
Yup, your interpretation is correct. Basically, if you want to use Community edition for internal purpose at your organization, it's completely available but you can't sell a product built on top of Hypertrace which will compete with any Traceable SaaS product, in any way.
could be wrong here.. but I think Change means ups AND downs...

The stores should finally label “free” apps for what they are: adware, subscription-based, time-limited demo, …

If they were speaking Japanese, Finnish (and Spanish) have very similar phonetics, to the point a lot of Finnish words also mean totally unrelated things in Japanese.

> I don't know everything about how humans play chess and I don't think anyone knows, either. Maybe they do what you say, maybe they don't. Most of what they do is not open to our introspection so it's hard to know for sure.

We don't know everything about how humans play chess, but as a chess player certainly at least some of the time a human player will consciously enumerate possible moves (or particular subsets of possible moves) and countermoves and think about the position after each one in turn. At least I do.

> Learning evaluation functions, or memorising good board positions during self-play is done at an earlier, training stage, but it is also a form of search.

If you define "search" this broadly then essentially any way of playing chess would constitute search?
Agreed, I noticed that too ;)
It depende on the country. In my country (Brazil, where minimum wage is less than US$ 1/hour) a software developer earns about 1/4 or 1/5 (or less) compared to US salaries for a similar job.

I'm not sure I agree with the assertion that something that is paid for earns more than advertising.
The word describing someone having hope is hopeful.
Yup! I just ran into that too. Also, it looks like I could have upgraded my existing license for $70 via going that route, instead of buying a new one for $80. (Np for me, I'm a huge fan, but for other existing users check out "Help" menu before buying a new license)
I was a late starter. Finished uni later than others and took my time, changing careers 2 times before settling into tech.

I've never been held back or had any roadblocks (other than the ones in my head). Its time that society gets rid of the myth that you have to do everything right now, have everything sorted out young. Its a journey and its great that you have found something that you are more passionate about.
Let me give an example, say you you have 61% of the senators so you have a supermajority and can anything you want passed. Ok that's fine. Well says there's a quorum where 70% of senators must be present for a vote.

The very minority party now can just leave and stop anything from happening. That's effectively what the republican did.

You can call it a fair democracy because it's "following the rules" but it's pretty fucked IMO.
You are finding that corruption, but at some point “render unto Caesar” is just about the only viable option. I personally view the government as amoral, it is not supposed to be the source of morality that is your own personal responsibility.
I was a trial user for years back in the Sublime Text 2 and 3 days, then moved over to Atom when it was the hotness that was clearly Sublime Text inspired.

Atom was just never fast enough. I still use it to this day, but I recently purchased a Sublime Text 3 license just to use Sublime Text 4 while it was in development and now I use that alongside Atom.

It really is incredible how immature Atom was. You literally could not multiline search and replace. Incredible.
At the very least Indians, Chinese and Japanese complain about those, and English speakers who learn them face the opposite problem, at least with the latter two, so it isn't a native/non native problem.
The other thing to consider is fit. When I needed a mask for workplace safety, I had to get a fit test done - otherwise you leave massive gaps around the edge of the masks that lets unfiltered air in and out.

I think surgical masks do a good job in containing droplets from a cough or sneeze, but if there are airborne particles, I doubt they do much. A good fitting N95 probably helps in that department.
There seems to be a Sublime Text 3 under freshports: https://www.freshports.org/editors/linux-sublime3/.
Someone already answered, but I'm actually producing a few boards that work with either the Raspberry Pi or Jetson Nano/NX with dual ethernet via the native Ethernet and (miniPCIE or USB) respectively. Will open source board designs + sell them for near cost probably, had to order 5 to wave the engineering fee. I believe the engineering firm is the same as the other posted board haha.
You almost definitely speak the truth, but that kind of attitude towards performance is why so many apps are so awful to use now. Especially if you can’t afford the newest Mac.

It sounds like we have very fundamentally different views of government.

If why take for granted that the state has no obligation to them, the question still stands: why not try to give them what they want?

Do you view these people as disrespectful of the state the state institutions? Is it a matter of setting precedent or distorting historical legacy? Is it that these people are inconveniencing other citizens by asking for what they want?
People can't be illegal, but they can do illegal things. I've never liked "illegal alien" or "illegals", but "undocumented noncitizen" seems much less accurate than "illegal immigrant".

I support a path to citizenship and making all forms of immigration more fair, humane and much more widely available. I don't understand the push from some on the left to say that all enforcement of immigration laws should go away.
> huge drive towards HTTPS since Snowden’s 2013 releases

Note that HTTPS everywhere in conjunction with HR 4681[1] means there are no limits on how long US government can retain captured communications of US citizens:

> Covered communication.–The term ``covered communication’’ means any nonpublic telephone or electronic communication acquired without the consent of a person who is a party to the communication, including communications in electronic storage.

Exactly my experience as well. I had occasionally heard the term in passing, but it never was more than a minor blip on my radar until I was having a conversation with my outspoken conservative uncle who asked me if I was "woke". (This was years ago, I want to say around 2015 or so.)

I knew vaguely that it was connected to the idea of being aware of social justice issues, but it became clear that what he was really interested in was whether I held the same set of naive, self-righteous, straw-man ideals that are so regularly pilloried in conservative media and labeled as "woke" culture.

For a group that claims to hate identity politics, the right sure is quick to slap labels on everyone and put us against each other.
I am simply explaining how proof-of-work works.

It is correct that the difficulty is adjusted based on the hash rate. If mining power was halved, it would become twice as easy to hit the target. If a new ASIC would make calculating hashes twice as efficient, the network would make hitting the target twice as difficult, effectively counteracting the efficiency. The goal is to always have 6 successful calculations per hour on average.
Senators and Presidents are more likely to be re-elected by a certain segment of the population if they oppose COVID restrictions of various kinds, yes. And news networks always profit in ratings from a crisis. Both political and ratings success translate pretty directly into financial success.

For the other examples, I have no idea if any of those professions disproportionately oppose scientifically accepted COVID rules. However, if you just relate them to the "profit from ... death" line and not COVID, I think they're all factually correct, those professions do profit from the process of death or its aftermath.

> So, the American society collectively willingly let people die to make more money?

Yes, quite explicitly? Many people publicly made the argument that it was worth more people dying to keep the economy open, though they generally paired that with denying any significant death toll.

I agree the specific association to COVID seems to only serve to anchor the article to current events; it stands on its own without that line. But I don't really think these are unsubstantiated claims in any major way.
About Sublime Text says that I have a Single User License registered. Is it going to prompt me to upgrade, or am I grandfathered in some way? I bought this Sublime 3 license in Feb 2018. Just trying to understand what's going on. The app itself is great so far, especially the GPU performance.
I really liked the Airpod Pros until I started to associate their use with worsening tinnitus. Now I'm trying big headphones with no ANC. But I definitely don't have any solutions.
