I'm sure it depends on the computer.

Back when I had a mid-2010 mac mini, there was a noticeable lag between resizing an Atom window and the contents redrawing - when sublime and gedit were fine with the same files.

That was a comparatively slow computer; someone with a higher performance computer probably wouldn't think the performance was all that poor. I can only assume the Atom developers find the performance tolerable.

Still, it reminded me of the old joke [1] that the speed of software halves every 18 months.

Absolutely agree. I think the future of web application development is going to be based on tools like this, something beyond text coding. It has to be done right and I think the under laying technology is finally there to make it possible without becoming another dreamweaver.

We have been trying to build something similar: http://crudzilla.com/assets/img/info-graphics/dnd-demo-clipp...

If you have nothing to hide, sure. But we aren't in an accepting enough world where that's the case for almost anyone. Have you had sex outside of marriage? Smoked marijuana? Are you gay or trans? All of these are things that in many contexts could be used against you, and as such it's pretty reasonable to want to keep those things secret from people you don't know and trust.

Just because you have something to hide doesn't mean you've done something wrong and deserve to have it exposed.
No that is wrong. Currently the x64 port of LuaJIT is limited to about 1GB [1] in the best case and can fail to allocate any Lua objects at all if the lower region of the address space is already completely consumed.

I think it's $24/user/year actually, but we'd be happy to pay more, because Mitro offers a superior solution for us. I hate the Lastpass UI and the sharing options aren't nearly as refined. 1Password doesn't work on Linux, and requires installing a local app as far as I remember.

Visual Studio Code is extremely promising, and at some point may become my primary editor. However, it is still VERY early in the preview stage. There's no plugin system yet (so no Vim mode, or other things that people often find essential).

Also, while free-as-in-beer, its licensing status is currently proprietary... a significant turn-off for the audience that Microsoft is targeting with this. Every rumor suggests that they'll be open-sourcing it eventually, and that the process just takes awhile to work its way through legal, since Visual Studio Code borrows its editor code from their commercial Visual Studio Online product. But it's still an open question.

Overall, I am "intrigued-and-cautiously-optimistic" right now (its startup time and responsiveness are MUCH faster than Atom's!), but I'm not ready to switch over full time just yet. I'm looking forward to seeing where they are with it by early next year, when all of the other cross-platform .NET stuff is ready for general availability.

Nice. Thanks so much for posting this!

I wonder if the people from archive.org are interested in long term archival of these data dumps.

At the very least, overall it's.. inconvenient for our tech community to regard information as volatile so often. Especially Q&A. Take threads on forums for example, that get closed simply because they are old. What's the word again? Necroposting?

Sometimes I find an old solution to something I'm currently struggling with. And that goes to show that age says nothing about quality. So it's a real downer to me when I see people complain to someone who responded to a three year old topic when at the same time it's clearly still relevant to someone.

When someone has a problem, searches for a solution, finds that same question asked 4 years ago on a forum and unanswered, later finds a solution, and decides to share that solution by reviving the 4 year old forum post, they get nothing but thumbs up from me.

Information simply does not expire. Wish people (moderators in particular) would stop acting like it does. In most cases, if someone replies on topic, it is clearly still relevant.

Sorry for the digression, it's just a pet peeve.

The early 2000s is when the end of the expected lifetimes of the reactors falls anyway.

Really, the ones with the questionable moral are the builders of the reactors, since reactors will always have to be decommissioned due to material fatigue.
Nope, RTFA. That concerned the previous program which was ending -- and everyone, from most US and EU economists to the IMF had declared ill concived and bad for Greece AND the EU.

What they asked for was a new program -- the one which has been the focus of negotiations for months, and that would entail new auditors and checks.
I think this is a good example of the law of conservation of complexity[1]. You can't reduce complexity, you can only change what's complex. In the case of monolithic kernels versus microkernels, it sounds like going to a microkernel moves the complexity from the overall design into the nuts and bolts of interprocess communication.

They could only give rough guesstimates of Pluto's size. They knew its apparent magnitude and orbital distance, and thus its absolute magnitude, but figuring out a body's size from that also requires you to know its albedo - the reflectance of its surface. Turns out Pluto is quite a bit brighter, and thus smaller, than what was originally assumed.

Also, the search for Pluto was motivated by some apparent irregularities in Uranus's orbit, similar to the ones that led to the discovery of Neptune almost a century earlier. Their magnitude imposed a lower bound on the mass of the hypothetized source of disturbance. However, turns out that these anomalies were simply observational errors and Pluto was neither sufficient nor necessary to explain them.

Good estimates on Pluto's size were only possible after Kharon was found in 1978 which allowed us to calculate Pluto's mass.
it seems to be the case. According to [0] Twitter just hired the devs without the legal entity behind Mitro, and seems like with no intention of supporting the project going forward.

I can kind of see how the first two could maybe, possibly, be seen as not insane. However, how do you defend the Bundestrojaner thing, in light of the fact that what he intended was literally impossible?

end
end

def eliminate(locale, numbers = (1..99).to_a)

else
eliminate(locale, eliminated)
end
end

%i[en es ru fr ua hu lt lv et tr de it nl se].each do |locale|

I orignally bought ng-book and it was terrible. Bad explanations and the examples were riddled with errors that made it unusable for beginners (its target group).

It was being distributed via a self-publishing platform that had a comment form where a large number of people were complaining. The author's reaction was to take it down from that site and still distribute it via other platforms as to hide the negative feedback.

Thanks. A slightly later discussion I found is here[0]. However, this is not a limit imposed by the tag structure used by LuaJIT, but rather the Lua/LuaJIT GC (from a quick reading of the mailing list discussion - I might be wrong here). Apparently, there's a GC in the works that is supposed to resolve this, but it isn't there yet.

debowerify: Browserify transform to enable the use of Bower components
Technically the Australian Government has directed that the Clean Energy Finance Corporation no longer invest in small scale or residential solar. This normally came in the form of a rebate for households that installed panels and accounted for about a third of all investment by the corporation.

This is a day after they directed the CEFC to no longer invest in wind generation. The Liberal government are quite open about their desire to shut down the CEFC in its entirety, this is just one step in that direction.

I've lived decades in New Zealand and Britain and moved to Australia a few years ago. It is a wonderful country filled with progressive, intelligent people. I have never experience anything even remotely comparable to the paucity of talent in Australian politics, we are ruled by neanderthals.

The Prime Minister, Tony Abbott, is a xenophobic mouth-breathing anachronism direct from the 1950s who struggles to form full sentences. He's recently announced a commission into wind turbines and is on the record as saying coal is 'good for humanity'. He's not being ironic or making a clever economic argument, both would be beyond him.

His cabinet are a mixture of the deranged and the spineless, the Treasurer recently agreed that the actions of new mothers claiming paid parental leave was 'basically fraud', called them 'rorters', all the while he claims $270/night in travel allowance to pay rent on a property owned by his wife while he stays in the capital. The arrogance and stupidity of these idiots is unparalleled.

Depressingly, if there were an election tomorrow they would likely win another term. Australia calls itself 'the lucky country', well, it's good to be lucky if you're stupid I guess, but you won't stay rich with this sort of leadership.

Delete/hide the comments and a public announcement on the bug what types of comments are acceptable/unacceptable.

As someone else said, it is usually very obvious. Many comments within 24 hours on a bug that is usually bike shed worthy.

Bugs comments should be technical in nature. Basically no (endless) discussion _if_ something should (not) be done. It should be about _how_ to do something (implement/fix bug/etc).

The deleting (hiding for anyone but admins) is usually pretty effective. Once they understand that you have way too much time on your hands, then they'll stop pretty quickly.

What's important is not to get aggressive though. Try turning the attention into something positive and give some tips (how things work and how to get something done). E.g. sometimes bugs do get forgotten and some attention will get them fixed. But that doesn't need 10-15 comments after eachother.

My experience is with Bugzilla btw.

Freedom of Choice:The Video Conferencing Market of Kazakhstan Seeks Alternatives
>> Only yesterday, it took heaviest payload by Indian spacecraft and placed 5 UK satellites in Orbit.

Yesterday's launch was the heaviest commercial payload launched by ISRO's PSLV. PSLV has been used earlier to launch more massive Indian payloads (ex: 1.8 tonne RISAT-1). Also, ISRO's GSLV Mk2 and GSLV Mk3 (X-mission) have launched 2 tonne and 3.7 tonne payloads respectively.

I am eagerly waiting for next GSLV Mk2 launch in August, and the reusable launch vehicle technology demonstrator (RLV-TD) in October :)

>Atom v1.0 is lot better than beta releases, but not as good as Sublime. Atom is open source unlike Sublime which is closed source, so in the long run atom is definitely going to be the winner.

No, it's just going to remain open in the long run. That's the guarantee from Open Source. Not that it will be "the winner".

GIMP hasn't matched Photoshop in ages, Gnome and KDE are not up to par with OS X and Windows 10 even after all these years, OpenOffice never matched Office in speed and stability, the list can go on...

The Best Cocoa/Chocolate Recipes Out There
> When your project faces this pressure how do you act to ensure that meaningful discussion happens and decisions are made that are the best for your actual users and contributors in the long run?

Make sure you know who your users are.

Keep in touch with them, reach out, do "community building". They will tell you things about your product/software/system you would otherwise never hear.

That way, you can also filter out issues from known troublestarters as noise, and, much like in Casablanca, it's a "round up the usual suspects" thing.

You could probably write a bot to filter them out, very similar to the ggautoblocker whose perl sources *are on GitHub, just, the other way 'round.
I've been using fish shell on osx for the last 3 years. It's fun and puts ctrl-r in front of my typing without being obtrusive. I'm glad to see it here.
How Startups Can Help Save Nuclear Tech
I use Fish shell on Ubuntu and OS X for basic stuff: file manipulation, using command-line apps, and occassionally doing some light shell scripting to automate my workflow.

Coming from BASH this shell feels like a much-needed update! Instead of worrying to make sure my terminal has all of these feature and then having a different experience in each terminal app - now All of the features are in shell not the terminal and I can connect anywhere, from any device, and enjoy the same setup.

The only two downsides are actually the same downside: its not compatible with BASH's shell scripting, which means you often cant just run shell scripts written by others, you may have to reformat it a little first. Same if true for how you format aliases and a few other shell-related stuff you put in your options file. It will still all work, but unless it's been ported to Fish's syntax it may need to be updated or rewritten.

This means that all of my scripted automation I have done is Fish-specific for now and wont run in regular BASH.
>Atom has the advantage of having many people working on it, as opposed to one in the case of Sublime Text, so perhaps in time will ship features I didn't know I wanted. Will try again.

Yeah, but unfortunately they are Web people, working with Web technologies. Not what I really appreciate on my editor...

Even if they come up with some great idea conceptually, it will still have all the baggage from being implemented in a web engine...
I doubt you can speak for all extraterrestrial life.
Mattermark for Asian Companies
My main gripe with a shell like Fish is that it won't work with the trusted ol' BASH scripts. Seeing as I deal with quite some BASH scripts on a day-to-day basis at work this keeps me from trying it out, even though I'd love to be able to use something more sophisticated/evolved than plain BASH.

Have you tried Adobe's Brackets editor? It's similar to Atom (uses chrome + node) but much better performance, IMO.

I refuse to use any editor with a noticeable delay when I type. My 7mhz Amiga 500 did not have a delay when typing, but some how Atom manages to cause lag on my 8 core 3ghz machine.
In the 90s, you would have been hard-pressed to find a shell anywhere as good as fish.

Got to be honest, from personal experience on github and sourceforge, I have found that some people will not take polite feedback, they will not listen, they will not be reasonable, and they will suck all your energy - if you let them.
Basically ignore and block the time sinks as soon as possible. And don't feel bad about it - you would quickly remove a tick, mosquito, leech or other parasite from yourself, remove them equally swiftly from your workflow.
I'm the author/maintainer of simavr: https://github.com/buserror/simavr

I've had to refuse some merge requests, I did it by mostly ignoring them, or explaining that it looks like a very large patch for a something that isn't necessarily wanted...
Also I factor in the fact /I/ will have to maintain that patch in the future, as the contributor will likely disappear to other interests sooner or later, so if I don't like it, ultimately it's /my/ choice, even if it doesn't come down to a technical point...

A good 'test' of a merge request is to see if the author is willing to make changes that you request.. It is a very good filter for 'motivation'; if the author doesn't reply, well, that's a merge request I'll close it 6 month next time I go down the list...

Downvotes? Come on, the 90s were fantastic. I haven't heard of Fish before but what I said was meant as a supportive pat on the shoulder; projects like these are great. So whoever's pressing the down button, please, try to crack a smile, or at least stop ruining mine.

I've been running Rancher (http://rancher.com) for a week now trying out multiple configurations, and that significantly took the shine off Kubernetes for me until someone comes up with a decent web front-end.

Setup was _way_ easier, too. (Kubernetes 1.0 better come with updated docs, two months ago they didn't match the then current release).

It's going to be interesting watching what happens in the container orchestration space - the good thing is that you can (nearly) always move your stuff across without much hassle.
