I have used (and still use) Sublime, yes. I switched over from TextMate as soon as I could. I'm not suggesting Atom is better than Sublime, and there are definitely many cases where Sublime is better than Atom, particularly in terms of

Shouldn't you use the best tools for the job though? Unless you really need that last GB of RAM, it just seems like you're punishing yourself for the sake of an ideal, all to no greater consequence. A gig of RAM is probably less t

It may be inefficient in terms of memory and CPU resources, but it was very efficient in terms of dev time and allows for easy modification by third parties. I'm not sure Atom would be where it is now if they went the native route. Whe

Workplaces are supposed to be inclusive environments. It's fine if your mother talks in a way that American-raised women don't like (whatever that means) with her friends. It's not fine if she does that in an office setting.

This is not a slippery slope. All I'm saying is that you should prioritize making people feel included over using whatever vulgar language you want in the workplace. Do you disagree with that?

by moon_priestess 10y ago
I didn't argue women do that. I've never encountered a woman who has done that. People can be made uncomfortable though by vulgar language. It shouldn't be used in an office setting to the point that it's making other pe

This is exactly the same thought process used when saying most women who claim they've been raped weren't really raped and they just did it to manipulate someone. Obviously the severity of the accusation is different but it's

Discrimination is often subtle and the people doing it rarely know they're doing it. It's often simply impossible to point to a specific email as "proof" of discrimination. That hardly means all genders and minorities ar

I think this post is a perfect example of bias in the open source community. Who the hell wants to put up with people like ESR who use ridiculous lists like this to determine if you've been actually been discriminated against or not?

I think those of us using LastPass stick with it because no one better supports Linux. It looks like SafeInCloud is yet another option with no Linux support.

The person you are replying to is talking about things like maps implemented with persistent trees. Updating a value in such a map generally only involves copying O(log N) nodes in the tree: It's not necessary to shallow copy the entir

I think you answered your own question! I'm already at a breaking point of "mess" just by virtue of living in this (relatively speaking, pretty decent) apartment. The less mess I'm adding to it, the better.

Fantastical 2 is the only good solution I've been able to find for both calendaring and reminders. It lacks many of the features of OmniFocus but I find the trade-off to be worthwhile.

All you need to do is install XFCE. It has a great terminal, a solid file manager, a compositing WM, and easy configuration. I don't bother setting things up piecemeal or fiddling with .Xresources any more. Also, it would be great if w

I've only ever had Soylent 2.0, but I've had 200 bottles by now, I've never been sick, and I still think it tastes fine. Why do so many people here assume their personal experience is everyone's experience?
