And I failed to mention the one aspect where bbedit exceeds every editor I have ever tried (a few years ago, I actually did a half year where I tried everything): Search and Replace. The Search and Replace feature of bbedit is absolutely th

I'm reading this thread and am, again, surprised by the fact of people changing editors willy nilly. I have customized my bbedit experience endlessly. I have text filters, dynamic snippets, script elements, 'text factory's an

A few years ago I noticed that all the other editors seemed to have online enthusiasm. Having used bbedit for decades and having exchanged email as tech support many, many times, I asked Rich if bbedit was a thriving or if it was just hangi

Let me be clear: Congress has no business discussing this any more. If they can demand that Zuckerberg justify himself, they can do it for anyone. There is no potential crime involved in his data being leaked. It is as if Congress summoned

Imagine that we now live in a country when a company can be called out by Congress for allowing the public to have access to a cool new thing. As weinzieri said, "The crackdown has started." "Show me your papers."

No wonder Vice is on the rocks. To say it is too early to tell is a ridiculous understatement. Comparing this to Oculus and the rest is just lazy. The Harvard guy who ran Grace Hopper's lab in 1941 famously said, "Only six electro

Great idea. Looks like a terrific implementation. Here are things I think and wonder having watched your video and browsed your website... It makes a very big claim but offers little information. I suppose it's early days but I would n

I call the strategy 'lowering the bar'. As an old, I now set all my goals to be so small that I have almost achieved them merely by waking each morning. I like to say that I have lowered my bar so much that I can roll over it whil

Best advice ever. (I'm old. I did this. It works.)

I didn't say a thing about being mad that they had a solution. I am mad at the guy for claiming that this tremendously useful tool could be had for "pennies". I will grant you this. A hacker, meaning a teen in a basement maki

If I was buying this solution and you told me you would do it for $20k, I would not consider your proposal for one more minute. I have written things like this. A decently robust solution takes a lot more than that. If you are doing a burde

This really makes me mad. The idea that you can buy a bunch of terminals and, Voila!!, you've got an awesome production control system is utter crap. I've worked on systems like this and it takes a LOT OF SOFTWARE to drive those P

A corporation lied. Where are my pearls?!!! In 1970, OpenAI would have been funded by the DARPA and would have been deployed along with the internet. Americans decided that it Morning in America meant corporations should eat all of our lunc

Good news is on the way: AI is going to make it so that nobody will every trust anything that doesn't involve seeing a flesh person. The whole internet effect is about to be reversed because it is going to be easy to fake literally any

It's my opinion that royalties are the reason we have so much horrifying junk in our culture. It has created a world where we are inundated with cultural garbage that people produced only to squeeze money out of copyrights. I dream of

Telephone operators. Definitely a nice update to the buggy whip metaphor. Thanks. Also, I agree exactly. Advertising is increasingly useless. It's a tax on knowledge and it's gross. I can't wait for it to die. I want to only

Finally, a good answer from a content creator. It is wrong to try it hobble and control all of us with ever more detailed laws. It is right to choose to participate carefully.

No. It's not. Also, it's not unfair if I study someone's work and then learn from it. Also, it's not unfair if you see my internet present and are inspired to do similar things. At some point participating in the interne

Also, the universe could blow up tomorrow. Everything is possible but, what's not likely is a company risking a revenue stream capriciously. There's no penalty to Musk for stopping free. There's a huge penalty to Twilio for

If some one leaves the company or is fired for cause, claw back the contributions. If the company "makes them redundant", claw back is nasty and immoral. People joined the company with a fair expectation that they would get benefi

I have used Macintoshes since 1984 and I never once even noticed this dichotomy. When I looked at this app, I thought, "Huh? Why would I care about that?" I literally never once considered the accumulation of open apps to be any s

For awhile I had trouble with Yahoo and a couple of others. I also had to get off a couple of spam lists. There was one big service that troubled me for years, can't remember which. But, the years went by and I guess my IP address got

Mail in a Box just does this as part of its natural installation. It works with a conventional DNS server but, if you point the domain at its internal one, new email accounts in new domains are up and running automatically. I agree with the

I do. For many years I have run a Mail in a Box server hosted on Digital Ocean. I like it very much and have had no problems. MIAB is a wonderful piece of scriptware. The guy promises to follow best practices in all things and, as best I ca

I tried to get the guy to notarize all of the pages. He didn't want to and I gave up. So weird that this critical function is so obviously broken.
