> Everyone who uses VSCode has surely used an IDE before.

I would expect the opposite to be true. I could be wrong but it seems like the free editor that's mentioned in lots of tutorials would be the one newer developers gravitate to over a paid tool like IDEA.
Sorry, got a denominator wrong.

Half a GW is about par?

So we're talking what, only 150-300 1.5MW towers per reactor?
And here we are with vim and emacs still being updated and improved. Good job Bram and John.
Atom was my first go to editor years ago when its git integration felt miles ahead. Then I saw gitglass(?) in VS Code and was moved to switch for shared workspace files at my job. I remember it as lightweight and fun.
I didn't say that I could read the actual file contents faster than a FS. My system still takes about the same amount of time to read in a 1GB file off disk as the regular file API.

What I did say is that searching for all files that meet specific criteria (e.g. files with a .jpg extension, larger than 2GB, and whose parent folder contains the word 'Microsoft' in it) is much, much faster on my system.

If you go through the hassle of indexing all your files using one of the OS vendors preferred indexing tools, the gap can be narrowed but I think my system is still faster.
>JS minimalist

I mean, just that phrase sounds very "Williamsburg corpo-hipster" to me. Minimal, artisan javascript.
I personally use CLion for all my C/C++ work, even preferring it over Visual Studio proper. It handles the environments, builds, build systems, etc for me a so I can focus on programming. VSCode is what I use for everything else (mostly Python, Golang, Web stuff) when I don't need the IDE overhead.
All 3 of them?
Searchable encryption trades privacy for efficiency. However, the privacy loss can be tuned. For example, SE constructions will specify whether they leak search-pattern (how many of the same queries a client makes), access-pattern (the frequencies with which different items are accessed) or other things. Usually, a client can pay in storage/bandwidth to mitigate these leakages.
I guess several videos and images of it isn't convincing then? But yeah, you're right, if Trump mentioned it, then they were obviously just made up.
I'd expect them to put the project out to Apache pasture (Apasture?).
I switch back and forth between IntelliJ products and VSCode.

As a pure editor I prefer VSCode. It's fast and has a great plugin ecosystem. Another great feature is that it's config is just a JSON file that I can put into git and push it to my dotfiles repo making it easy to share config on all of my machines.

However, there's just some functionality in IntelliJ that I miss in VSCode like running tests. Of course there are plugins but they are all clunky and don't give you the great UX that IntelliJ does. I want the IDE to figure out where all the tests are and give me an easy way to run a single test/file/suite/feature. IMHO this is the killer IntelliJ feature for me.
I abhor the conspiratorial tendencies of people when considering abuse, especially in the context of powerful people. Abuse is predicated on being able to effectively pick victims that the rest of us don’t care about: Epstein et al. don’t need a grand conspiracy to execute their abuse, they just need us normal folk to ensure that there’s a fresh supply of victims.

A great example of this in action is the fantasy a lot of people hold that middle class white women are being snatched off the street to be trafficked: they’re not in any volume, most trafficking victims are vulnerable people who nobody notices are missing, but nobody cares about them and so the cycle continues.

If we accept that Epstein was just an abuser who killed himself, we have to confront the reality that we enable abuse, and that’s too scary a thought.

Driven athletes are the perfect victims, because they feel they have so much to lose if they’re not believed.
They also seem to be applied for political purposes. Laura Loomer (Republican congressional candidate that got cancelled) is banned from owning a gun.

> I know a lot of people love vscode but are there any people who have tried something like IDEA/WebStorm/PHPStorm/etc that then went back to vscode?

I know a few people like this. More or less, they all got burned by some technical issue that made IDEA unusable for them one day, so they quickly cobbled together a bunch of extensions in VS Code just to get their work done and stayed.
And sandals to match :-D
Safari Tab Groups does that without the need for multiple windows - although you can still have them if you want.
> And even if it were, VSCode is basically a rewrite of Atom that reuses a big chunk of the original codebase

Atom and VSCode projects have always been separate projects. Both using Electron does not mean they share a codebase, not in the normal sense of the phrase.
> A monad could be described as "sequencable/chainable", but that metaphor is quickly breaking down as there as so many ways in which monads show up.

Hmm well it might break down but simply by choosing a better word you've helped me understand what a monad is more than any article I've read on the matter.
I looked into that plugin but we don't run any special daemon/server for editing on our servers (nor do we want to).
Agree 100% about domain names. The only exceptions could be for a personal blog perhaps or a brand.
> entropy is necessary for complexity to emerge.

Something about this particular line does not sit well with me.

How would we define the relationship between entropy, complexity and information?
Well put. There's just no reason to move off VSCode so far (for Python and friends). In a couple weeks' time, I'll be working with C# in Visual Studio. It has me excited since I've heard many good things about Microsoft developer tooling, of which VS is a huge tool in the box (C# as a language also seems attractive).
Atom will live on in the form of Electron, one of the highest impact and most controversial technologies of the recent decade.

I still remember the day VSCode was announced, and the binary on macOS (inside ./Contents/MacOS in the app bundle) was literally named Atom.

> I have been maintaining FreeBSD servers for 2 decades and would estimate the attention a machine needs at about 10% of what a Linux box needs.

I was talking with a longtime Linux security administrator about why he was converting much of his security stack over to OpenBSD and retiring his Linux security boxes in mass.

Similar to what you mentioned, he estimated his maintenance needs for OpenBSD at 5-10% of equivalent Linux systems, and the increased security posture was gravy on top.
Doesn't $1B seem a bit high? I mean no offense, it just sounds so out of left field, to demand $1B from your government.

You mean you disagree with it, despite there being many markets where less competition doesn't hurt or even benefits the consumer.

Also, addressing the tone or being grammar nazi doesn't add much to discussion.
There is tons of AnecData suggesting this is true. The recalled DA himself admitted to not reporting his car breaking because he didn’t think it’d be prosecuted.

I can name roughly 10 people in my life who said they didn’t bother. Another 5 who went to police only to be told by them that there was nothing that would happen and that they shouldn’t waste time on finishing the paperwork. To complete the data, I know only 1 person who fully reported a crime, and it was an extreme violent crime.

Question: do companies / startups hire people who know just Blender well (and Gimp/Photoshop), nothing else? (Asking for someone else, not myself.)
It's just the NPM problem. The barrier to entry being low means the ecosystem is gargantuan which means there's tons of bike shedding duplication and lots and lots of abandonware. So it's good that you have tons of options, but bad that curation is needed and tailoring your environment takes a lot of work.

Hm. My first comment here but ok.

All electricity generation is for societal needs.

And those eagles? One unfortunate incident, fixed by decommissioning one tower?
Sounds like premature optimization.

I'd actually worry if the engineers I work with couldn't pick up a new IDE/text editor, etc. pretty easily and quickly, if and when something like this happens. And I'd say the risk of it happening in the next three to five years is pretty minimal at this point.
Well, Microsoft has always been about developers, developers, developers...
> VSCode for all the normies who just want to get on with doing their job and don't feel a need to express their identity or politics through choice of editor

Seems like just another kind of identity: The self-titled "normie" who glances over at the "corpo-hipsters" and "wizards and furries" and smugly pats themselves on the back about how they're so much better because, unlike everyone else, they just want to "get on with doing their job"...
Brackets came first.
100% false.

If there are no consequences, then a percentage of the population will go nuts.

I've had a few young kids ask about going to California to get toys since you don't have to pay for them there. In their mind it's a great deal. Explaining that it's wrong even though you get away with it is awkward.
On save, deploy the file out to a dev server(s) that runs the full stack (1 or more server per developer that only they use).
> the belief that any intervention that has to be imposed on a vulnerable person is so fundamentally flawed and problematic that the best thing to do is nothing at all.

That is a strawman argument. I don't know anyone who believes in a ”fundmental flaw” in imposing interventiom. There are with imposing it and one of those risks is that your intervention is not actually helpful. Historically, many of these interventions have beem harmful and intended to prevent society from having to see the suffering rather than eliminating it.

The current state of our mental health system (especially the affordable options) is pretty abysmal. If you want support for more imposed mental helthy interventions, you need to work with us to improve treatment options and facilities. I think if treatment options were better, you would find that the need to impose them would diminish.
> Russian oil and gas should actually be cheaper because demand has dropped sharply. [...] because you'll be funding an unprovoked invasion and the countries that have sanctioned Russia may not want to deal with you.

An alternative view is that Russian oil and gas is not cheaper, but that it has extra costs which are not directly reflected on its official price. If you could put a number on the "moral cost" (funding an unprovoked invasion) and the "pariah risk" (other countries might not want to deal with you anymore if you buy Russian oil), and add that number to the official price of Russian oil and gas, there's a good chance that the result is exactly the price you get for non-Russian oil and gas on the global market.
Atom was my first text editor when I was getting serious into learning software development. Sharing this neat video for those who hasn't seen it yet:

Growth is possible by increasing outputs from the same level of inputs. Certain types of growth are unsustainable, yet other types of growth, e.g. productivity growth, is definitely sustainable.
Seems like you could get away with using an object store and a serverless function for this. Not sure how pricing would compare to a server, but seems doable.
You're deploying via VS Code? If so, that's a weird pattern.

I've been using VS Code for years to write JavaScript/TypeScript, Python, Go, Terraform, and CSS. My settings file is 60 lines, 42 of which are "for file extension X use autoformatter Y" configs.

When I first switched to VS Code I was frustrated trying to make it conform to random expectations I had. Eventually I learned that it's easier to embrace VS Code's defaults for 99% of things. I just want an IDE that works well (nearly) out-of-the-box and VS Code gives me that
I'm in your ballpark age-wise.

Physically I'm definitely not as capable as I used to be. Doing construction work like I did when I was 20ish would be very rough. I'm still holding up in terms of slower activity like wilderness backpacking, but strength isn't there, and there are aches and pains.

Mentally I'm probably the best I've been in my adult life, but there was a decade or so when that wasn't true. I started slipping, from laziness really, and it took conscious effort on my part to reverse that. My personal theory, founded on nothing but my own observations and biases, is that a lot of middle-age mental decline comes from losing the desire to make the effort. Older age will likely be different, but that's how it feels now.

Re your last point, I recently saw someone who was the spitting image of me 35 years ago. It was surprisingly unsettling.
I've found the clipboard to be a highly flexible tool, that seems under-used. As an example, I've extended my game engine editor to draw any position in 3d that I have in the clipboard. So when problems happen and are displayed in the logs, I select the log, copy to clipboard, boom, position drawn.

This idea has a lot of legs IMO.
What I value is the ease of deployment through docker repository ecosystem and not exactly about containerization.

> but the left didn't shift left in a relevant degree, they are more right then most center parties in the EU.

This is said a lot online, but I'd like some concrete examples. Our abortion laws are (for now) more lax than almost all European countries, and the US left still wants more. Our tax system is more progressive than many European countries, but our rich still need to pay their "fair share." The left in the US wants us to essentially have completely open borders, and there's been a huge pushback to the 'refugees' coming to Europe.

There are some things where we're more right than Europe because Republicans or our constitution won't allow it, but that doesn't mean the American left isn't overwhelmingly quite far left.

And quite frankly, if you're comparing Republicans to Hitler you're too far left yourself to have a balanced perspective. You could just as easily say something like "The way the Democratic party treats white men in recent years is uncannily similar to how Hitler treated Jews..."

Both are ridiculous statements.
My point is that the non-existence of a us-specific com suffix (.us.com) combined with the existence of country specific com suffixes (.com.mx, etc), implies that .com is us oriented, in a central sort of way affirmed by ICANN arguably. If com is for everyone, why have .com.mx? etc
You are allowed to own a tank IF YOU FILL THE GUN WITH CONCRETE. You are not allowed to own a tank that has an operational gun. It boggles the mind to think you believe people are allowed to own a tank with an operational gun.

And I challenge you to destroy a 10-storey building in ten minutes with a car, dude. The gun is the bit of the tank that is for killing people and destroying other tanks.
Be very clear in written form that you do not want to resign from your position and would prefer to relocate in January 2023 as that is the best time for you and your family. If they reply back that this is not possible then ask HR about severance as part of your termination and layoff process. Use all these terms in written form to make sure it is documented and very clear where you stand.

Quite the curious typo you have there.
The reason FreeBSD is not my daily driver is 1) limited video card support, and 2) limited steam/proton support. In other words, I game on my desktop machine, and play Windows games under Steam in Linux.

I have moved to using FreeBSD for my servers though, and am happy with it for the most part.
Minecraft, Discord bots, etc. have already been mentioned; I will put in a plug for Cheat Engine and piracy. Much more dangerous and less ethical toys, but still highly educational. I learned almost 100% of my pre-college networking knowledge from BitTorrent. Cheat Engine has a very high learning curve but I'm sure it has acted as a gateway to other kinds of exploitation for other people. Although, I think with the rise of kernel Anti-Cheat this is a dying practice.
For myself it's all about reducing the delay between "writing code" and "seeing the results". Dropping down to scp or run a script to deploy files seems like an unnecessary delay/break in my development process that I don't like adding in.

If you can develop 100% locally this isn't an issue but we can't (or haven't taken the time to do so). Think of the dev server as just a VM running locally and it might make more sense.

>calling out the pronouns she uses to identify herself seems like a perfectly natural response to correct someone using the wrong pronouns

I feel like this pronouns thing started up in just the past few years. To me it seems more natural to say someone is a man/woman. If someone doesn't fit into one of those boxes then I think it makes sense to clarify the preferred pronouns.

Electron is both an amazing enabling technology, and also an artifact of the sad state of affairs for computing platforms.

One could imagine a world where strong standards have been established which would allow you to easily deploy lean native applications across a wide variety of platforms.

Instead we ended up in this bizzare world where if you want to maintain a desktop GUI app, you either need a large team to support multiple platforms, or you need to target minified javascript of all things, and run your software on top of a large, arcane compatibility layer.
I still use Textmate, think it's actually excellent these days and still updated a few times a year.

Spellcheck always works, nothing ever crashes and acts weird I run it for 10+ months without issue. VSCode on my PC the spell check is inconsistent and weird and on a long enough timeline it actually crashes the whole operating system if you leave it open.
Now you are just redefining words as it suits you.

Have you tried neovim with any of the lsp integrations? I’m not going to pretend it’s trivial to set up, but the result seems very powerful. If you just want to dip your toes without doing that he setup yourself, I believe there are some prepackaged options eg onivim which you can try out.
>You’re drawing an arbitrary line. The majority of digital advertisers are using digital advertising because the value is quantifiable through attributable revenue.

If you are talking about the majority of ad impressions being programmatic/attribution based then yes you are correct, however if you talking about dollars spent that direct sponsorship with large internal agencies is still very much king.

To give some context, large corps would routinely drop $5 million on a direct deal with Twitter for a combination of promoted tweets, hashtags, trending etc. This was also almost pure margin as there was no middle DSP/SSP taking a cut. To get the same profit from the method you are purporting to be most common would take years.

>Maybe a decade ago you could have said that advertisers were just trusting platforms to deliver value, and that ad-fraud could make or break a platform if they got caught, but that’s not true anymore, it’s a much more sophisticated market. Advertisers aren’t (as) dumb (as they once were).

Maybe a decade ago? So the people who are now in senior positions at the agency and call all the shots are the ones making the major deals. Well then it would stand to reason that the biggest profit comes from deals that are structured like they were 10 years ago.
So, if there is a glitch and it stays on too long, do you just vaporize?
TIL I'm a Williamsburg corpo-hipster.

This entire time I thought I used Sublime because it was a fast enough, full of features, battle tested editor, that also wasn't a bloated IDE nor an exercise in self flagellation (i.e. choosing to use an command line editor with a high learning curve like Vim or Emacs).

Your credit score matters far less than you think.

Your credit score is maintained by a bunch of goons in a protection racket. 'Shame if anything would happen to that fine credit score, let me 'protect' it for you".

Unfortunately, there are few legal standards in this area. Any business can report that you have not paid something.

Write a letter to google's corporate address with all your evidence, enclose a literal paper check, keep a copy of everything. Point out in your cover letter that you are discharging your responsibilities especially regarding collections, and collections will be considered an illegal action. If it comes back and harms you, you have cause of action and documentation. Take whatever action is appropriate for harm (apparently arbitration can be really good for small cases like this, less hurdles, more getting the companies money).

And just don't get bent about it.
For Java dev, VSCode just can't compete with IDEA. For JS/Typescript/PHP, VScode is fine, but it doesn't beat PHPStorm intellisense and code quality tools.

I agree. I've been in some strange stock option situations and 3 of us hired a tax accountant to investigate everything and help us file the additional paperwork properly. It cost us about $500 but it was better advice than the questionable advice we were getting from our startup's finance person.
