Also by preventing any competition from forming, locking in your users and preventing them from leaving by taking their data hostage in proprietary services and formats, buying any possible competitors and doing price dumping from other services to make competition entering the field economically unviable.

As seen done by Amazon, Google, Apple and other large companies. Competition is awesome, but unfortunately someone "winning" the race can quickly lead to them controling enough of the market to prevent good competition from forming.
Such rules will need to be accompanied by consequences for those doing it. A ruling without enforcement isn't worth much. That said, this is a great, and perhaps quite surprising ruling, considering it's a secret Court.

I wouldn't really consider the site 'atomtips.com' to be an unbiased source on this issue!

All you need to know is that you can easily use both for free and decide if you like both, either, or neither. So basically, pick whatever one (or none of them!) that you prefer after using it for a bit.

Atom has the upside of being open-source, and being easier for people familiar with the web stack to modify. Sublime has the benefit of being much faster. You'll be able to achieve roughly the same with both, and it'll come down to individual use cases and preferences.

(Although I will say that I don't consider the replacement of a lovely JSON-formatted settings file with a GUI to be a benefit at all!)
For OSX I would pick Textmate since it integrates better with the OSX ecosystem in terms of behaviour, keyboard shortcuts, etc.

If you get social offers, say yes as often as possible. Someone wants to go out but you're feeling a bit tired and sitting on the couch? Get off your butt. Short of money? "Watching my alcohol intake this month - will have a couple and then stick to waters if that's OK with you."
The editor imho, should not be that big of a choice. The more important thing is, you choose one and you stick with it so that you will master it and enjoy all the advantages there are for that editor.

I strongly doubt that there is much different (perhaps some limitations of the app itself which are described below in other comments), that a person that worked with atom editor for a long time and mastered it vs a sublime text user that mastered the editor will work at a different speed.

And i stick with sublime :)
Right now, ST. Somewhere in the future, hopefully Atom.

I don't even care about the startup speed, but Atom generally doesn't feel polished compared to ST. Starts with the terrible font rendering on Linux.

Gee, I wonder what atomtips.com will recommend!
I'm really surprised that someone like Peter Thiel interpretes competition only as conformistic imitation. Business competition is about business results not the product itself, so the tactics for competing are many.
Any serious developer will try both for at least a day, and choose the one that makes them most productive.

For me, Atom was "death by 1000 cuts", with it's interminable sluggishness eventually driving me insane.
I think we have to write more editors with Sublime architecture. I have no idea how to start.
From a website called "atomtips", it seems kind of biased !

Anyway the dealbreaker for me was the very slow start of Atom (and I've got a very good machine). When every app loads instantly, I'm not going to wait 5 seconds for each new window of Atom I launch.
Every time some limit is reached in a physics equation, dilation, contraction or even moving in time is taken as a measure to rescue. It all sounds like a convenient method for explaining something we can not explain. It all comes from the fact that time is defined through speed and speed depends on space, thus time cannot describe dimensions not dependant of space.
There are plenty of errors in the essay - the first being the idea that competition is good for a company. It's good for society. Monopolies are good for companies, to the detriment of society, which is why there are anti-monopoly laws.

The whole essay reads as though the author's in his personal bubble, with the walls painted with his fantasy world. One such example is his belief that startup founders are basically Aspergers and can't hold a social connection - and yes, he uses the weasel word 'many' rather than 'most/all', but clearly he thinks that it's common enough to be an 'indictment on society'.

Then he finished up with silly libertarian extremism; hand-wringing over why it's harder to develop pharmaceuticals (where a bad product can kill people or leave them in lifelong pain) over a video game company (where a bad product takes a few dollars out of your pocket and bores you for an hour), because "ebil gummint regulations".
I've used both for a considerable amount of time and these are my unbiased thoughts about it.
1. I don't think Atom is more of a web-editor. Think of dreamweaver, but completely stripped down, and dare I say, faster. I used to it write few of my NodeJs apps and was quite happy with it. But, compared to Submile, it is incredibly slow.

2. Also, I'm not sure how others work, but I'm more of a one editor for everything person. Atom is not that editor. Vim, Emacs and to an extent, because of being native and having huge number of plugins, Sublime is quite one-ring-to-rule-them-all editor. I feel that Atom won't ever be that, nor does it want to be that.

3. Time spent in learning the shortcuts of both these editors are negligent and both provide enough ways to tailor it to your needs. But I feel that Atom has better project management capabilities than Sublime. Github is a major help here.

That's about it. I'm a Sublime fan, and just don't feel to need to switch anything. I would rather spend that time building something fun than invest myself in learning another editor.
Having done a little science myself, usually there both are small incremental improvements with small but predictable gains and large leaps with big potential gains but very unpredictable outcomes. The former are optimizations around a current local optimum, and the latter try to escape it towards a better local optimum. For that reason the incremental gains tend to saturate over time, and I suspect that is what Goodenough is dismissing.

I have to say I do enjoy Adam Curtis movies very much, even though I often find myself disagreeing with the opinion being presented.

For all their watchability, it's important to remember that these are not straight-up documentaries. They're well-crafted opinion pieces with narratives that (depending on your perception) may or may not be shoehorned into the shape of facts with a blunt instrument. Also the copious library footage, while always tantalizing, tends to be only marginally connected with the subject at hand. They're still worth watching for the presentation alone, and they are great discussion starters.

Personally, I found one of the most disagreeable Curtis projects to be "All Watched Over by Machines of Loving Grace", as entertaining as it was. If you ever have a spare weekend and would like to spend it thinking about the trajectory of society, I recommend binge-watching Curtis movies.

Atom is also, "free as in beer", is it not?
Indeed, it seems like wishful thinking that Atom will magically become quicker. One presumes that the easy optimisations have already been made. What else can be done, other than a complete rewrite using a different technology stack?
So much this, and it applies to things other than editors too. I used to constantly look for people's opinions on all kinds of software to decide which one was best for me due to a belief that if I used something that I didn't end up liking then that time would have been wasted. I've now mostly reversed that habit because trying something out for yourself is the only way you'll know if you will like it, and the time invested isn't a waste so long as you come out with a better idea of what you prefer.

Fair is a completely subjective definition, but I guess the idea is that through a democratic process society as a whole comes to an agreement as to what is 'fair'.

Instead of setting goals to pay people 'fairly' though, policymakers should be looking for ways to 1) make it easier for people to acquire 'middle class' jobs, and 2) make it easier for people to start their own business (remove employer protections + improved access to financing). There are 300+ million Americans that each have a unique perspective of this world. Each of these unique perspectives provide the opportunity to creatively solve a problem in a way that adds value to someone else, and start a business around it.

Of course only a small percentage will, but that number becomes even smaller when you can't start your own firm because your employer has locked up your IP that's unrelated to its core business, or you can't save up the $5-10K needed to finance a prototype of your idea because your 'middle class' wages are too low. If you make it easier for more people to start businesses (read: not protect existing businesses), you create more jobs and the 'fair' wages take care of themselves. Also, by forcing 'fair' wages on employers, you further reduce the ability for someone to start a new business (specifically in retail or food service) because their burn rate is now higher due to higher labor costs.

Meta question: is the use of "realtime" for this kind of thing already accepted or is there some discussion about it? I ask because the other meaning[1] is more natural for me and once in a while I get confused about which meaning is intended in articles' headlines.

Human tribes often compete with each other, from subsistence fishermen pushing further to get the fish first, ti organised crime gangs vying for turf... right up to coalitions of nations (WWII was largely justified as a fight over resources - from 'lebensraum' to the oilfields of Baku). Humans both co-operate and compete; they're not mutually exclusive concepts.

I enjoyed this film, but I can't help thinking it would have been better if it had been shorter (it's well over 2 hours long). The really interesting bits are where he tells the story of Afghanistan from the 1940s onwards. I found this absolutely fascinating, but this probably totals less than half the running time.

The rest is raw footage from the country since 2001. While this is also fascinating (and harrowing and distressing in many places) the overall length is only really going to prevent people from getting to the end and understanding the whole story. Given that Curtis's stated aim is to tell the whole story, without the simplifications that modern news media requires, the length seems to counteract that aim.

"In a previous December 2014 ruling, the IPT held that GCHQ’s access to NSA data was lawful from that time onward because certain of the secret policies governing the US-UK intelligence relationship were made public during Privacy International’s case against the security services. Yet that belated disclosure could not remedy the lack of transparency regarding the UK-US sharing prior to December 2014, meaning that all UK access to NSA intelligence material was unlawful before the Court’s judgement.

I know it's "linux only" (not really, I'm using an old version from windows.kde.org), but, seriously, I always found kate[0] better suited as a "programmer editor". I recenlty at work switched to sublime, but it's inferior to kate in almost everything (the only thing I see it handle better - and it handle very better - is the opening of very big (>30Mb) text files)

Didn't they just gave free access to some email system they bought ? They didn't invent anything, except for giving away a full mail service, while other free alternatives at the time only gave you half finished UIs, slow roundtrip times and very limited space.

Same for maps, free access to very satisfying service, not inventend at Google. Personally that's what made me love Google, they turned my computer into something more than office/game/medias, for "free".
Conspiracy theorist me says we should expect another "act of terrorism" on the UK mainland. This government needs to bolster its control, as they did in Australia, France and Canada. After every attack, the direct effect is that politicians start looking for ways to spin that into invasions of privacy and liberty. Every god damn time.

I appreciate that you prefixed this, but are you really implying that the recent attacks in France were planned by the government? Or that the 7/7 bombings in London were?

That really dilutes the value of the other points you make – which I do agree with.
This is the classic, unfortunate reality - the disconnect between what is legal and what is right. Yes, the companies are well within their rights to restrict access to the internals of products they sell. But by doing that, they are just being total assholes. In this case we have companies literally providing negative value (relative to older, non-DRMed equipment) and charging more.

Equipment Interference and Interception of Communications Codes of Practice [pdf]
Atom just feels weird and broken. Make a new document - why is Edit -> Undo enabled when there's nothing to Undo? Press Command-Z - why doesn't the menubar flash to indicate that I typed a key equivalent? Control-click on an item in the tree view on the right - why does it only highlight after the menu is dismissed? Make the window bigger - why is there a flicker, as the content repaints after the window resizes?

Atom exists in an uncanny valley, and re-introduces tons of problems that the design of OS X has worked hard to avoid. I hope Atom doesn't succeed for that reason: it's a big regression in UI.
Be like Gregory House. Give the team their own thinking legs. Let the best ideas win. Always focus on evidence. Keep in mind what are the most important goals. Remember winning ideas and use them in the future. Do not let power get to your head. Most importantly, stop checking every single line of code. Your job is to get the best people in the team who can write code which you can bet your life on.
For a slightly shorter, more digestible introduction to Adam Curtis you might want to check out this piece he did for the BBC series "Screenwipe" about Vladislav Surkov's "non-linear warfare": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wcy8uLjRHPM
Yes. I disagree with most of his points of view. Some of his statements are outright incorrect and a majority are at least questionable or wanting for references. In _The Trap_ he constantly uses the phrase "based on numbers" in a negative fashion, as if it were an inferior method of analysis. I find that particularly strange considering that if you just listen to his narrative without the images, there is no analysis and often no cogent argument.

One argument, if I remember correctly, was that game theory should no longer be used as a tool because it was largely developed during the cold war, which is over now.

And yet I'm utterly I'm fascinated by his movies. I probably (re)watch one every 2 months. Go figure.

They have been doing precision equipment long before the DRM era.

This is a particular case of abuse from the manufacturer. I can think of several ways to let the shop owner have his way without playing the "mis-calibration" song.
Besides, any set-up procedure can be used again to calibrate the device.

Edit: After reading their brochure, I am now convinced this is a case of DRM overreaching; the machine is in no way that sensitive to relocation to warrant a lock-down. Hey, they pride themselves with the machine's strength on page three: "... designed according to principles of finite element method", with a picture showing the machine stresses.
To reduce the amount of sugar, they separate the sugar from the liquid ingredients and then mix it back in later.

It doesn't strike me as particularly surprising. Judges have secrets they don't want spooks reading, too.
Those of you who use Sublime or Atom exclusively for (code) work, does that mean you don't use an IDE?

There seems to be devs coming from at least three camps: the ones that came from the emacs/vi side that never really took to IDEs, those that once used (say) Eclipse and were burned by IDEs and now like the less-is-more of editors, and those that started developing in IDE's and can't imagine NOT having an integrated debugger and so on (Yes I know several text editors can be set up to have most IDE features, but for the sake of argument lets count IDEs as those that were built from the ground up as full IDEs).

Not sure what divides devs this way but the 2 main reasons should be platform: if you are used to linux of course you have huge benefits of having a console based editor, perhaps so much that you can forego a lot of the bells and whistles of a desktop based one, especially of you don't use graphical designers UI elements and such. The second reason I can think of would be language: If you are work on niche languages you are likely to find editor support in text editors, but not likely a good IDE. Likewise if you work in dynamic/weakly typed languages, the benefits of refactorings and navigation are much smaller than they are in a static/strongly typed langues.

So I'm curious: if you aren't a Haskell or js developer, are you using a non-IDE as your "main" editor? If so, why?

For me personally I want a full IDE for my dev work and can't imagine coding without full project support, integrated debugger, refactorings and so on, and I can't be bothered with configuring editor plugins for basic things such as auto-indentation, auto-complete or syntax highlighting, and I haven't seen any really good dev environents based on editors in neither Sublime, vi or emacs. I do use editors for viewing random files/logs, editing resources, making documentation and so on, but not as my main dev tool. As such, the requirements are very different from an editor that is a main dev environment from 8 to 5.

Both are very good editors. The choice might well depend on which source language you're going to edit, and your average file as well as project size (how many files?). If any of the two is large enough, you just can't use Atom for that - it's noticeably slower, for obvious reasons. Though, I don't use a single editor for everything. You could just go with Sublime, and switch to Atom whenever you need some feature/plugin that you find more convenient there.

OT: does anybody know PSPad? It has a very interesting feature set, though it lacks more advanced things like collapsing, refactoring tools; I find it very useful sometimes - especially its columnar editing feature.
pithy
The startup speed is incredibly painful. That said, I absolutely love working in Atom, and I use it whenever I'm doing a substantial session of coding.

For minor edits and quick referencing, I'll typically use Emacs. Then some Jetbrains IDE for work/specific school projects. I definitely think I've found a balance that works well for me, but the fact that I'm switching so much makes me unsure if it is best.
