There is no privacy concern here. Probably monopoly concerns.

Personally I would consider withholding products or features from the EU, not because I want to "steal everyone's data", but because they're a pain in the neck for a small business to comply with.

Personally I think EU policies single handedly ruined the web. Every time I'm shown a cookie policy I am a tiny bit more angry at the EU. If I were Apple I would drag my feet way more. They probably only do it because shareholders would force them to go after the Euros if they didn't try.

I dislike duopolies

I've always felt worrying whether foods are "processed" was to focus on the wrong metric. It also sounds like some kind of Luddite moral judgment when I hear people talk about it.

Supported with updates for 3 years? So you'll change the battery once, I guess.

What is this doing on the front page?

I'm probably going to give Sublime another try.

For one, I'm finicky about colors and VS code makes it easy to tweak one or two colors of a theme without getting involved in forking and creating a whole new theme. I may just do it, though.

Also, I recall having some issues getting linting to work and the editor highlighting lint errors in not-very-visible ways (like the first character of the line had a red underline).

Again, it's been a while and these could be issues I had with ST3 and/or I missed the way to fix it.

I've made extensive use of this and it is a killer feature of VS code for me. Still, I wish it supported all of CSS like Atom did.

I checked back regularly for years to look for signs of life in Atom. There weren't any.

Last blog? 2019.

None of the releases did anything interesting. I work in Vue.js and needed that toolchain to work well, it never did with Atom.

So they're blaming the community for something they decided years ago and kept deciding every week when no resources were allocated.

Also, Zed isn't filling the void Atom left. Rust is interesting. Collaborative editing, not so much. Electron's lack of speed doesn't prevent VS code from fading into my workflow and being the most popular editor. I would still like an alternative because I don't think Microsoft should have the whole market.

Atom was doing great and I was happy with it until VS code started to create nuclear winter, freezing other efforts.

I will gladly pay a premium for someone to offer me I real VS Code alternative.

Nova almost solves my problems.

I think Formula E is kind of useless. Racing competitions can be a good engine for innovation, but last I heard Formula E has all cars using a standard battery. Isn't the battery the biggest thing we want to improve on EVs?

They hold the races in cities instead of "real" race tracks, which I guess is cool if that's your home town but as a (lukewarm) racing fan I would rather see tracks I know. I wonder if they also want to avoid comparisons with ICE race cars. The Gen 2 Formula E did 0-60 in 2.8s... which is achievable in some ICE street cars. Hopefully the Gen 3 is more impressive.

I think there are stress/psychological factors. I developed RSI while being in a very bad living & working situation.

I've switched to COLEMAK and I still have pain. Does that mean COLEMAK doesn't work? Maybe. Or, since my pain level has stayed manageable it could mean I'd be worse off without it. I've been doing other things too. It's hard to reason on a sample of 1.

If I'm reading this right, I think UltraRAM doesn't solve this problem. From the article:

> its fast switching speed and program-erase cycling endurance is "one hundred to one thousand times better than flash."

I know flash can get some impressive endurance now, but if you start treating it like RAM, is 1000x that endurance even enough?

It is absolutely extra work. You have to test every mode of operation. So to support those with JS disabled (about 1.3% of users according to some quick searches) you have to test with JS disabled. Then you have to test again to make sure your JS workflow is stable.

Every business has to make the choice, but unless I was running a pretty large operation, I'd be willing to ignore 1.3% to put my budget into other things.

Until this moment I didn't know the Apple version of bash was outdated, I reluctantly started using zsh when Apple defaulted to that. Now I don't care about bash.

Was that good for bash?
