My poor baby boy Prolog... it's only down there because people are irrationally afraid of it :(

And most are too focused on learning whatever slop the industry wants them to learn, so they don't even know that it exists. We need 500 different object oriented languages to do web applications after all. Can't be bothered with learning a new paradigm if it doesn't pay the bills!

It's the most intuitive language I've ever learned and it has forever changed the way I think about problem solving. It's just logic, so it translates naturally from thought to code. I can go to a wikipedia page on some topic I barely know and write down all true statements on that page. Then I can run queries and discover stuff I didn't know.

That's how I learned music theory, how scales and chords work, how to identify the key of a melody... You can't do that as easily and concisely in any other language.

One day, LLM developers will finally open a book about AI and realize that this is what they've been missing all along.
That guy is living off that money, and Sublime is one of the best text editors out there. Consider it like a SaaS, but something doesn't break or stop when your license expires.

If you think the price doesn't reflect the value the software brings, then it's your choice, and that's fair. But as for the things it brings to the table, I don't think it's that expensive.

I pay similar for BBEdit, and it saves my bacon regularly. Plus it's dependable.
As far as I know, optimization levels higher than -O0 work fine with SpillPointers. But at least in a cursory first look I had a while ago, the optimizations made things slower overall. I guess they might lead actually to more "moving pointers in and out of the heap" since the SpillPointers pass is done at the very end. But this should all be investigated more thoroughly.
> (we might all study cosmology and get hawking IQ level in the end, if we don't know how to grow food, we're toast)

I first read that as "we might all study cosmetology ...", so my mind went to an altogether different space-based metaphor.
I write everything on All About Berlin in a souped up version of Sublime Text. I made my own color scheme for Markdown files, my own linters for the content, a build system to run the static site generator etc. I love just how fast I can move across hundreds of Markdown files, finding and replacing thimgs with regular expressions. It’s a night and day improvement over editing text in a CMS.

I chose Sublime because it was blazing fast in my wee Macbook 12”, which I used until a year ago. Sublime Merge complements it really well.
What was wrong with her? Some type of long Covid or something?
I worked with a manager who was diametrically opposed to writing a singl single of code until a test had been written for it.

That's when I discovered I hate test driven development.
X.com is one site where 2FA just doesn’t work for me and had to repeatedly contact them to “unlock” it or so. Finally I had to disable it and if the a/c ever gets taken over I’d let it be.
The actual proposals at the time I wrote this was a wealth tax applying to wealth greater than $50 million.

That’s substantially different from one that starts at $0.
$20 pays for about an hour of extra productivity per month. If you get that much, you have your ROI.

Is that an hour not spent googling? Is that an hour of extra energy because I didn't need to sift through a 5000 line log dump? It's pretty good.

The actual value I get from agents is it's a rubber duck+Google, not that it writes code. It's also a journal of my previous train of thought. I can 'code' while in the train now, or 15 min before a meeting instead of blocking out 4 hours.

It's closer to 2x for me, realistically. But anything more than 2 hours per month seems greedy.

But that 2x productivity doesn't mean I get twice as much done. It means some of my colleagues get laid off, some interview/freelance/side hustle because they're worried about getting replaced by AI. The whole mess means return to office which ends up in 0.5x productivity and 1x net productivity.

But we need a few less engineers and managers so I guess that $20 and the $20000 office space is worth it in the end.
Ooh, that’s pretty neat! When I took the SAT (not all that long ago) they wouldn’t even let me bring in my TI-89 :( Out of spite I used my fx-115 ES-PLUS through it instead (which is honestly better in most ways, despite being a scientific calculator).
> so this is a PySpur ad, alright

They should have also posted the PySpur pipeline, it would be interesting to see the agentic flow they used in this article. I am doing a lot of this kind of worflows manually, copy pasting stuff, I'd like to have some tools to design AI flows. PySpur looks pretty interesting visually.
This is the one app I use every day. I practically live in it. Most editors are slower and more visually cluttered, or pack so much functionality that I often get lost. Sublime strikes the perfect balance between simplicity and functionality. Probably Emacs or Vim are even more expressive, but I've never bothered to learn those, Sublime just packs enough power for me. The LSP plugins are a good addition to give Sublime the same code completion / AI functionality of other editors.
Oh noes! And we all know how famously rigorously spam and phishing is prosecuted!

(I didn’t actually do that. What stopped me is no longer being 12 years old, not a fear of going to Gitmo for sending an obviously fake email.)
I got in trouble for programming on my calculator in my high school computer class, lol
I'm generally sympathetic but the chatbot dig is just silly. A lot of the absurd promises of AI capabilities have already come to pass, and anyone with a browser and a throwaway email can see for themselves. It's terrifying.
My sister had ME/CFS after she had a burnout after her second kid. She was never permanently bed ridden but sometimes had to spend days resting or recovering after strain. She's not well today, but much better than at her worst. There wasn't really an accepted diagnose for it when my sister got it, and she had to fight to be recognised as sick.

I do wish Dianna the best recovery and future progress.
The camera also lost focus on the jet during the record where it went transonic for the first time ever (around 1:01). It looks like they struggled for a while to recover focus against the featureless sky because I would guess they had their lens set to auto focus, which uses a spot or grid of consensus edge detectors. There's no circular polarizer filter equipped because you can see window glare, and that momentarily caused the AF grid to choose the window as the subject because there wasn't (any?) a good enough stabilizer. For a relatively stationary subject like this, it's more reliable to pull focus manually because the camera can be jostled without confusing an AF algorithm. Even better to periodically use spot auto-focus to acquire the sharpest focal plane, then flip it to manual.
I don't quite like this implication that "techies" are, as a group, all-in on LLMs as an imminent new total economic revolution and/or futuristic singularity.

My experience is that learning more about a technology usually makes me less excited for it, because I can see the limitations that aren't mentioned in breathless startup elevator pitches. (Also public-relations pieces and boasting from CEOs of very large companies too.)

I may see your first point, but how is GPL3 worse than a closed source software?
I didn't connect miniKanren to Scheme. I said "Host Language." I did suggest the value of a multi-paradigm host language.
I think we can talk about it. If you lived in Taiwan you would want it talked about. If you live in Greenland you would want your concerns talked about.

Watershed moments of rapid change such as these can be democratizing, or not... It is worth standing up for little guys around the globe right now.
Sublime was going great at some point and I guess the dev burned out churning new releases every week. So it got abandoned for a good amount of time.

Something like 2 years. At the same time Atom and VsCode came in with all the good ideas from Sublime.

I hope they made tens of millions during the height of its popularity.
That's because there used to be this thing called flash/silverlight that could do this instead. Now, video is done completely differently than it was.
Because it would be economically destructive to everyone except those large companies if it were to happen.. and the everyone here includes China.
Oh it's just odd/funny to me that a graphics processing unit is not very good at processing graphics (in single cases) compared to a central processing unit.

This is my use case as well - large .csv's, scratch pad, pasting some bug error message in a cleaner format - Sublime is perfect for that IMO.
If you're rich and can travel faster, why not? I hope they make a coupe version
This is strange. PTX is still at the IR level ?

IIRC this is still relatively hardware agnostic. Can you actually get very far by doing this ? From a quick perusal, DeepSeek also uses Triton in the codebase.

I’ve had VS Code crash on me (repeatedly) with very large text files. Sublime is able to handle these files, even if it has to chunk on them for a while, if I do something silly like try to edit with several thousand cursors, but it will still do it.

Corps usually have problems with gpl software being used.
I was expecting to see something Concorde scale, but I guess a private jet is a start.
Sublime is just great software. It does everything I could possibly ever want an editor to do, and it does it with half the memory usage of VS Code. I like VS Code well enough, but I can't abide resource waste like that, especially when it doesn't actually buy me anything.

Honestly, I use Sublime because nothing else can compare. Everything else is slow, bloated, worse to use, or some combination of the above.
I thought of stopping the subscription after I reported a blocker issue in great detail with multiple emails but they didn’t tell me why it was happening, neither did they share the ticket created or a ticket was created in the first place - in fact they didn’t respond at all, not even to follow ups. UI “improvements” finally did it for me and I stopped paying — also, started taking periodic backups.
You worded it a bit softer than I did. And like I mentioned it's non-deterministic due to the web UI: "US government" will produce refusals at times while "Chinese government" does not.

Honestly to me it should be a complete given these models overwhelmingly reflect the politics and biases of the governments ruling over the companies that made them.

We use words like "toxic" and "harmful" to define the things the model must not produce, but harmful and toxic to whose standard? Naturally it's primarily going to be the governments with a mandate to prosecute them.
> SDKs are typically a compiler, a debugger, headers to interact with the system API and a C/C++ runtime. You can compile GPL code with a proprietary debugger, that's not a problem. Ditto for debugger. System headers and runtime are under the GPL exception.

SDKs for game consoles contain more than that. They allow you to install executables onto special developer consoles, which are different from retail ones. The GPLv2 clearly says that you need to provide all the tools/scripts that are needed to install the executable onto the target system. This is why today's hermetically closed game consoles are fundamentally incompatible with (L)GPL code. While you might be able to provide the source code, the GPL explicitly states that the recipient of the code must be able to build and install the executable to run the code. This absolutely can mean that people will have to buy a commercial tool in addition (like Visual Studio Professional or similar), but herein lies the problem: you cannot just buy a Switch SDK and a developer console. They are tightly regulated and can only be obtained under NDA by officially recognized game developers.

The only way to distribute GPL code for consoles without a license violation is if the console has a special mode which allows to run arbitrary code. For instance, for a while, the PS2 was able to run Linux (until Sony removed that feature). The Xbox has the so called "Dev Mode" which allows for running UWP executables. The Switch has no such feature, unless you jailbreak it. Needless to say, the game we're talking about here does not depend on that.
> The state can be used to transmit useful data...

Which explains why it's called "state".
I paid for a license on one of the versions. I initially got upset when there was a major release that auto-updated and I got the pop up. However, I looked at my purchase date and it was so many years ago, and I was able to roll back to the version I paid for, so I definitely got my money’s worth. I didn’t end up buying the newer version, because work was forcing me onto VS Code.
I would say we don't really know if it's so called Long COVID. I mean that I have taken care of an ME/CFS sufferer long before COVID was around. So it's a set of diseases grouped by their similar symptoms. Autism and ADHD seem similar in that regard
I recall a few times accidentally opening GB-sized files and sublime having no perceptable performance impact. Sublime is stupendously performant.
They are a company and they are still good. They changed their licensing model for v4 onwards. I have been using it for most of my note keeping and lite code editing tasks and its excellent as always. I think they can still get back to the old hype if they choose to use typescript for their plugin system. A lot of vscode plugins can be ported that way I hope
Roberts Seila Law decision explicitly states that Congress can --- outside of the situation of heads of single-director independent agencies --- limit the removal powers of the President. Further, the logic you're using implies that the entire federal workforce is exempt from literally any employment law of any sort. You may respond that the administration's pointy eggheads are going to craft persuasive arguments to that effect, but I'd be happy to put money on their likelihood of success. What do you say?

I'm not interested in the politics of this, as you so often are. I'm just interested in people having a clear understanding of the dynamics at play here --- in people nerding out on legal issues. Except under a fringe interpretation of Unitary Executive theory, the President cannot simply ignore statutes like the CSRA.
I love BBEdit, but it has one limitation that drives me batty: it has far fewer syntax highlighting scopes than many other editors. It’s simply not possible to make it as pretty and color as others, and that’s something I personally value. I have to look at a code editor all day, and I want it to look snazzy.

I know it’s minor and petty, but it stills grates on me every time I fire it up.

Yeah.. I think LinkedIn did the right thing here. I’m seeing reckless ai generated shit recommendations or ideas over and over making their way to leadership that completely discount any consideration of important factors that keep businesses viable… so far the old guard are wise enough to say no… so you will see more and more of it force fed.

I mean, this feels more like electroshock therapy to me, but that's made a big comeback and is apparently considered relatively safe and somewhat effective.

Bloodletting has some conditions it's actually appropriate for too.

Not sure mercury poisoning is going to turn out to be safe and effective anytime soon, though.

I'm not advocating for this, but if people are going to do it with informed consent, might as well collect proper data to try to determine if it objectively works. Snake oil that works, if it actually works, is something that works.
I personally don’t even bother with it for these reasons.
Everyone knows if you touch GPL you get cooties
Reminds me of the alleged programming approach of Dr. Joe Armstrong of Erlang fame (RIP): write a program, then rewrite it, then rewrite it, and so on until it's good enough.

That's also how I tend to program, though usually as an accidental consequence of my ADD brain getting distracted, then being entirely dissatisfied with my code (or worse: I was too clever with it and it's indecipherable) when I come back to it, prompting yet another rewrite.
The code might be GPLv3, which is my favorite license BTW, but they have a "nice" CLA [0] and Privacy Policy [1] which doesn't inspire confidence.

I think CLA is a nuanced thing, since Eclipse also has one and didn't rugpull anyone ever, but their Privacy Policy states that the tool is chockful with telemetry and can collect any personal and non-personal data as they see fit.

When somebody tells that you can opt-out of this, I have a hard time believing that the switches are connected to anything.

I think the problem with fiber in general is not availability, but deployment cost. You need to dig and bury the fiber. That's expensive.
The "so called Long COVID" really just means "I got covid and I remain unwell in some way, long term". I'm not sure it needs to be questioned if those two qualifying things are given. Very well might be the same thing as ME/CFS, or might not, I don't think we have a conclusive answer yet about what causes either.
Guilty, but as with anything there is a right time to use it and a time to most definitely avoid it. If you are working with others in particular there is very little room to wing it.

Experienced devs can do so in a first pass to flesh out an idea before letting the team get involved, but thereafter the design immediately becomes rigid. Inexperienced devs can wing it to learn in an exploratory way, but their work is unlikely to be re-purposable.
If you're creating fake tables for your solution, couldn't you then also create a fake table books(title) to satisfy the first problem statement?
Is TextMate still being maintained? Last time I looked, there were very few signs of life. If that is accurate, the clock is ticking until Apple inevitably drops Rosetta support on Apple Silicon Macs sometime in the (probably not too distant) future.

America is the wealthiest nation on Earth, but its people are mainly poor, and poor Americans are urged to hate themselves. To quote the American humorist Kin Hubbard, “It ain’t no disgrace to be poor, but it might as well be.” It is in fact a crime for an American to be poor, even though America is a nation of poor. Every other nation has folk traditions of men who were poor but extremely wise and virtuous, and therefore more estimable than anyone with power and gold. No such tales are told by the American poor. They mock themselves and glorify their betters. The meanest eating or drinking establishment, owned by a man who is himself poor, is very likely to have a sign on its wall asking this cruel question: “if you’re so smart, why ain’t you rich?” There will also be an American flag no larger than a child’s hand—glued to a lollipop stick and flying from the cash register.

Americans, like human beings everywhere, believe many things that are obviously untrue. Their most destructive untruth is that it is very easy for any American to make money. They will not acknowledge how in fact hard money is to come by, and, therefore, those who have no money blame and blame and blame themselves. This inward blame has been a treasure for the rich and powerful, who have had to do less for their poor, publicly and privately, than any other ruling class since, say Napoleonic times. Many novelties have come from America. The most startling of these, a thing without precedent, is a mass of undignified poor. They do not love one another because they do not love themselves.

I use sublime as a copy paste buffer when I need excellent visual regex search and replace. Vscodes regex search has awkward semantics (or at least I don't know them as well as sublimes) so I usually paste things into sublime, edit them with the regexes, then go back to what I was doing. My work has some extensions that only work in vscode so I'm stuck with it but it's good enough. I also never close sublime tabs and it persists them indefinitely with minimal memory usage, so I sometimes go back to grab things I was doing a few days ago. Definitely not the intended use but it works really well for me.
I am pretty sure Apple could buy Globalstar without even noticing the cash, and Globalstar might be dead if it wasn’t for Apple (Apple owns 20% of Globalstar).

I don’t think Apple needs the financial leverage, I think they don’t want to put all their bets on a lame horse.
Love her content, hope she recovers fully soon!
What is this story? Where is the controversy here?
Even glaciers flow, otherwise they would over time become as thick as cloud layer that provides that rain drop or snow flake. Its just that speed of flow is... glacial.

1 year on glacier, once snow is compressed into ice which takes few years, is represented by maybe 1-2m layer in European Alps.

Thats why glaciers have crevasses - they bend as valleys flow (or over some hard bottom bumps that weren't grinded flat yet), and it cracks at those bends. Just like say chocolate on surface of cold Snickers bar if you try same bending

We're already there in terms of productivity. The problem is the inordinate number of people doing nothing useful yet extracting huge amounts. Think most of finance for example.
