Curious if you tried with extensions disabled? I just attempted opening both a 100k and 1m line html file in both VS Code and ST, in the 100k case they both were quick to open but Code was a bit smoother in scrolling, in the 1m case ST took

But they aren’t building 1 satellite and launching it 5 times over the next decade. They’re maintaining a constant fleet of 42000 satellites, which means putting up new junk to replace the old junk while its still flying junk and not de-orb

The main thing I look at in this situation is their approaches to security. ES decided authentication is a paid-only feature implemented via closed source proprietary code, and the result has been countless PII leaks; now sure you could say

Trying to imagine a world where every text editor has their own proprietary character encoding and compatibility with other encodings is considered an extra... there’s something called UTF-8, but it’s been in development for 15 years withou

This is part of why I’d like to see more VSCode-as-an-OS (disclaimer work on VSCode)... imagine writing only the code to go from bytes on disk => view and back, and getting for free: version control, command palette, keybindings, Windows

Sure, but how do you list shop hours? How do you get a sense of what time of day your itinerary’s events will take place at, given they’re in a location far far away?

Or maybe don’t “hate” folks who are just trying to put some content online and don’t want to deal with botnets taking down their work? You know, like what the internet was intended for.

The question is whether the missing feature could be reasonably inferred to be present based on competing products or the product’s description. Let’s say I buy a camera. It takes photos well enough, but I soon learn that it can only transf

> Customers use the app review system to hold developer hostage for feature requests. "Create this feature for us and I'll edit my review." To be fair this is pretty reasonable. Lets say 5 stars is highly recommend, 4 is r

If you change an interface in Python you need to manually verify that everything is correctly using that new interface. That’s much more of a devprod hit.

Hm, so what happens if a country issues some sort of currency in the form of loans/salaries/whatever but does not collect any tax (let’s say they sell natural resources to foreign countries and use that money to maintain their pri

Unless there was a CGI mesh in the scene, but due to how everything laid out it never actually got any screentime. In which case there would be some debate as to whether it should be considered.

The skeptic in me bets that side effect was quite thoroughly researched, by the media companies, who found by normalizing intrusive banners they could get users to agree to whatever they heck they’d want.

I fear this is just a debate over semantics, which is always an unhappy debate. In my opinion “finding the square root” isn’t a “problem”, perhaps precisely because it doesn’t involve search. Something like “how can I determine the side len
