My thinking is that some editors tend to be fashionable. I don't mean that negatively, just that their mindshare is transient until proven otherwise. They have a subset of users that are not massively invested in the platform, and will move to something that looks more interesting or more secure/active/etc.

If that subset is large enough such a migration can harm the ecosystem: less users, less developer mindshare in bugfixing or plugin development and so on. It can then work like a run on the banks where people get out before the problem gets worse, making the problem worse.

Interestingly, vim is often one of those editors: when TextMate was originally dying (pre open-sourcing) there seemed to be a new "why I'm switching to vim" or "how to set up rails dev in vim" post every day. I'd wager that a lot of people moved to vim as a result, then bounced off again.

"No realistic alternative" -- that's a bit of a dishonest either/or argument. Of course there are alternatives. It's not like it hasn't happened before.

In the Western world this gave rise to the biggest social movement in a century, with demands to assure workers all kind of rights.

Krugman needs to motivate why we should deny third world children the same rights we demanded for our own a hundred and forty years ago, if he really wants to make that argument.
I see no need to switch to Atom since Sublime is faster, has a more established plugin base, and can open large files. Sublime ain't broke, so why fix it?

This binary is based on buggy, old pre-production code, includes ads and absolutely non-working integrations to Dropbox, etc. because the provider did not set the private keys correctly.
The official app currently awaits review and will hopefully be out soon. It will be stable, ad-free and with full support for the clouds.
>Then what incentive would there be to start one, or to design a business model that will outlive said fixed time?

Outside investors could still recoup their initial investment + gains. Those who start, design, and execute the business will be gaining the shares over time as they are employees (although, I'm not sure this would still be the right nomenclature) of the business. How about this question, "Why should an initial investor get an everlasting percentage of profits without continuous input?".

>Moreover, why don't the workers then just start the company in the first place?

Probably for the same reason they mostly don't now, they lack the financial resources.

1: A local (to me) tram line that leads from an expensive inner-city region to an affordable ghetto in under ten minutes. If you are born there (Tannenbusch) chances are you will spent most of your time there. If on the other hand, you are in Bonn to study at the local university, you probably don't know it exists.

Yeah, this is also true of the `val` statement in Scala too. I suppose though that in Scala, one would probably make all data members of classes `val` as well, whereas in Javascript, there's no in-line syntax for constant object properties (Object.freeze being a bit verbose to use everywhere).

But even that limited form of enforced immutability is helpful. I personally find it easier to understand a complex function when I can assume that no names are being rebound.

How does this eliminate private ownership or profit motive? This model puts the ownership in the hands of those who execute the business and those who provide it with continuous capital (customers) while over time eliminating the rent-collectors.

The problem with Sublime in 2014 was not the number of releases but the fact that the developer more or less just disappeared for a year.

I am totally fine if he does not release something new for half a year, but at least he could've written a short blog post that he will take some time off. Even a short "Hey guys, I am still working on it but things are very slow right now" every 8 weeks would've been totally fine.
It's pretty typical human behavior. We all know multiple people (or are those people) that were horrified to learn about the poisonings, child labor, suicides, 16 hour days, and other conditions involved in the making of iPhones, yet still went out and bought the new one as soon as it came out.
I really don't understand this problem. Why does everybody think people in Asia are forced to do this kind of work? These people would be incredibly poor if not for western companies. Actually most of them would die being children as a result of their poverty: malnutrition, accidents, preventable diseases such as polio or measles.

Go now and check what was China's annual GDP per capita in Mao Zedong times. Just see it. Apparently a lot of people need this kind of basic history education.

I had to play with the new UI a while before figuring it out. No delete panel but when you go back in time to the left and click a different link, everything that had been to the right of the "clicked panel" disappears. So, you have to sometimes use your browser's "open in new tab" functionality to remember a context for later use - this goes against the one page web app concept, but makes it workable for me. BTW, interesting that the Node server code is written in CoffeeScript.

Indeed, that was the point of using bmaptool: the actual used space is about 1/10th of the whole image, weighting around 400MB, and with bmaptool you can avoid writing a lot of zeroes to the SD card.

The data is more or less split like that:

224M	usr
90M	lib
67M	var
11M	boot
5,8M	bin
3,3M	sbin
2,9M	etc

Of course with some customizations one can do a lot better, but this is just a straight Debian installation with documentation, locales, translations, manpages, etc.
It's interesting that the link describes the critics argument as increasing the power of labo[u]r over the company. Why is it a bad thing for the people who are actually doing the work of the company to have control over the company?

My point was that Atom is not slow 99% of the time, when doing standard text manipulation. I never argued that there's no basis for dissatisfaction but that the argument "Atom is slow" is often tossed around like some ultimate argument. Often without calling out what is slow (I even pointed out some of Atom's slower operations).
Probably way too late to get noticed here, but while I think the THREAT of Title II might be useful to keep ISPs in line, it would be a pretty rash move to actually reclassify broadband.

The US has painfully little competition in most areas, there is no debate about that. But new technology has been fixing that, albeit slowly, via increasingly expansive and competitive 4G, Satellite, and even improvements in moving data across copper wires or existing phone lines (not going to get you 100mb service, but quite plausibly "good enough" that you can realistically threaten Comcast with quitting service.)

I don't want to get in a libertarian vs flame war, but the fact is, it is far easier to regulate than deregulate when it becomes unnecessary. If the non-competitive market we have now is an artifact of old technology and installation costs, it would be a mistake to set up a regulatory infastructure we won't be able to roll back.

It is not uncommon to see this played out over and over again. Far too many feel they have done their civic duty by expressing their "feels"

I agree and share your cynical view of Agile/Scrum, at least how it's often used in top-down organizations.

In my experience there are two factors required for a successful project:

a) Developer autonomy sufficient to modify core design/implementation if necessary--and developers experienced and talented enough to recognize when this is necessary.

b) Developer ownership of the project. By that I mean minimal power difference between "stakeholders"/"business owners" and the developers actually building the product. You don't want developers to feel like consultants working on someone else's project because they won't care when bad decisions are made and they will naturally do the least amount of work possible to satisfy each Scrum ticket.

> And they traded at a 10% discount to A shares for over a year, because Chipotle was growing quickly, people were logging into their discount brokerage to buy CMG, and their brokerages were giving them CMG.A.

The caveat is that this discount is only beneficial to a buy-and-hold strategy, in fact this discount was probably offset by the fact that CMG.B was less liquid than CMG.A and the spread was probably a bit higher as it was traded less often.

Arbitrage opportunities are often too good to be true for a reason: selling CMG.B shares was probably the same trouble as buying them (before the split) so this market inefficiency was causing the 10% difference.
Not really related. When the N64 had been out for a while it was £99.99. My brothers and I begged for it, but my mum said it was too expensive and she would consider it when the price went down. Later that week we were all watching the TV together and an advert for the N64 came on, and at the end it said "Buy now for £99.98!". We all celebrated until my mum said that didn't count. We never got one in the end.
I wasn't around for it, but I feel like this same thing could be said for cross-platform compilers or VMs... Javascript is just newer. It seems like your argument in the second paragraph could be applied to the infant Java VM or GCC. It seems a little myopic.

Maybe I'm nitpicking, but using the word "open source" for anything but source code (this project is a collection of Markdown and CSV files) sounds odd to me, and a bit like a meaningless buzzword. We've had the word "public" for at least 2000 years, and the complete US budget has always been freely available and in the public domain, even online in recent previous years. I hope Github doesn't completely turn into a marketing tool like every other aging social network because I actually quite like using it.

Nice to see more singleton free Flux libraries! My experience is also that it's almost impossible to make isomorphic apps with singleton based designs. Too bad the original Facebook version used singletons and everybody copied it. Big mistake.

I am not really disagreeing with you, but I would like to point something out: if this UI becomes widely used, then the cost of getting used to it is not so important. BTW, this is why I like Bootstrap: my web sites may look similar to millions of other sites, but no one is likely to have problems using it.
I wonder if the shortcut should be removed. Certainly some people use the feature, but it seems obscure enough that maybe we should pass that combination on to the website, instead.
While I think the whole pattern matching + recursion thing is important to understand, once it's understood, I think it's usually better to move on to combinators like fold/reduce/map/flatmap and such. Plus Javascript still lacks the ability to branch on a pattern match.

Same experience for me. I started using vim about one year ago, and I have been very happy with it. Having to take my fingers off the keyboard to move around a document or highlight things-- it's just unthinkable now. But I'm glad sublime is there, cross platform and easy to use, just in case I'm on some foreign machine and I don't have time to set up my vimrc and vim plugins. I also recommend Sublime to people who are just starting on programming in a language like Ruby or Javascript as it works just like Word out of the box.
If you can spot from a mile away that an investor is looking to screw you, then he probably is. If not now, then possibly down the line. Life is too short, etc..

Every deal is different, but two things that I don't particularly like are:

1/ Multiple liquidation preferences, 1-2-3-5x (i.e. we put in $1M, but we need $2M back before you get any profit)

2/ Participating preferred vs non participating preferred (i.e. we invest $1M for 25% of the company. The exit is $10M. In the one case, the investor gets to take back the money he put in, and he then gets 25% of the gains. In the other case, he just gets 25% of $10M)

The combination of both also happens in some cases

Suppose like you say, all earth-bound telescopes have a small window of observation. How many hours a day would that be? Aside from watching Contact or Goldeneye, my only source of knowledge about dishes is a C-band. But, according to its wikipedia entry, Arecibo has a 40 degree range of 'motion'.

"To aim the device, the receiver is moved [by cables] to intercept signals reflected from different directions by the spherical dish surface." ... "A parabolic mirror would have varying astigmatism when the receiver is off the focal point, but the error of a spherical mirror is the same in every direction."

The limit: "This allows the Telescope to observe any region of the sky in a forty-degree cone of visibility about the local zenith (between −1 and 38 degrees of declination)".

From universe today, "Pluto’s orbit is also highly inclined. This means that it doesn’t orbit within the same plane as the rest of the Solar System. Instead, Pluto orbits at an angle of 17-degrees."

Arecibo is at latitude 18.3 or so. Not at the equator, but for half a year it's probably tilted more favorably to the middle. Does this make Arecibo even remotely practical for the application?

Opal 0.7.0: require, kwargs, docs, testing, lots of fixes
Given the discussion here, it seems there's a clear need for a text-editor that's cross-platform, fast (like ST, unlike Atom), open-source (like Atom, unlike ST), very configurable (like Atom and ST), easily extensible (like Atom) and easy to use/grasp for an user accustomed to typical windows applications (like Atom and ST, unlike vim and emacs).

Seems to be something like this could be done using QScintilla. Qt would give it an excellent cross-platform support, Scintilla a good editor with a speed of C++, and the ease of development and extensibility would be possible thanks to either PyQt (Python) or QtQuick (JavaScript).
