Sublime Text. The elder and chief of them all. The inspirer.

Bbedit is better than Sublime and is arguably more refined.

I use it and Bbedit and vi.

BBEdit is wonderful. I got hooked by TextWrangler and eventually bit the bullet to upgrade, and it was a great decision.

I’ve used Sublime (3 and 4), VSCode, Notepad++, vi, etc.; even made some plugins for Sublime, and I still vastly prefer BBEdit.

To burst your bubble, Notepad++ is the elder to Sublime Text by 5 years.

Zed. The newcomer. The liberator.

"The inspirer" huh? So Sublime Text went back in time 5 years and inspired Notepad++?

Time to ask it 20k times which is more harmful - alcohol or weed. Curiously in my attempts alcohol always tops the harm ratings miles before all else, including some class 1 drugs.

Warp failed to launch. Perhaps too much AI pushed onto the users in the early days that failed to show its charm.

Ghostty remains incredible stable and usable and fast compared to competition.

Warp is equally stable, almost as fast, while being more usable than Ghostty.

What makes you say that Ghostty is less usable than another?

Well, for starters, I get obscure errors if I get something wrong editing the Ghostty config file.

I think there's a reason people are very interested in libghostty. It's a fully-featured library to build off of, but Ghostty proper still lacks a lot of polish.

Ancient Greece did not have agents crawling peoples stuff for profiling. The argument is broken.

Also, ancient Greece has slaves that let citizens participate in democracy full time. Which menas that decisions were more informed that we have nowadays.

A fact very often overlooked. One thing we can argue about is that we now have slaves called agents.

Agents take care of your family?

It's not an argument, it's a soundbite aimed at convincing people who don't like thinking.

How do you define ‘to like thinking’? Particularly given all the automatism evident in humanity’s actions? Is thinking observation or performing decisions? Is it the act of deciding or the act of interpreting… as one is apriori, the other A posterior.

Are you implying only people who like thinking should be given right to vote or people who like thinking are naturally more inclined to not favor privacy?

Your statements are no less a bite, brother Ставрос. What makes you feel so confident I your superiority?

It didn't have bot swarms either.

Bots are now clearly joining the Four Horsemen of the Infocalypse (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four_Horsemen_of_the_Infocalyp...) to hasten the demise of civil liberty.

I think individuals have the right to hide from government bot swarms.

Extremely disingenuous comment. Everyone knows bot swarms on social media are on the output side, while you are leaning on science fiction tropes.

Phone is yours. Software it runs not.

I realize this is a different discussion, but shouldn't it be? The way that it has been since home computers were a thing, as far as I know at least? I don't think we'd stand where we stand today if Commodore and other hardware vendors had required a license on every piece of software from the get-go (if we pretend that there was a known, exportable, and safe signature scheme back then)

Should the GPL3 software you download and run also be yours?

Pardon?

A phone is worthless without software.

Not sure about the charts themselves, but it helps structure code and logic better if a clear description of possible states (of phenomena) is provided and reasoned about.

Naturally, as the author notes, we are using states in our programs. Three kinds at least

- current program state in the complex space-of-states the program can have - most properties (and vars) are expect to undergo several states, and enumerable denotes a state. - every program traversing a graph for something, essentially runs a state machine of some sort

Indeed a user interface can benefit from having a FSM run it, given interfaces guide the end-user through predefined states from which he navigates into other states (which show/hide a set of widgets and wire them with data).

Love them knots! The sudoku of the universe :)

(not trying to pick a fight, but...) what difference it makes if an agent spent 100$ to understand and came to the same result, given it is those who use it that will benefit of it, and thus the craze here.

note: i'm not saying author did not improve his skills overall, but also last '6 years' perhaps also means - fair amount of digging the web with search engines, which are... like AI 0.1

The difference is that despite the fact that I will never use this, I am nonetheless here to celebrate the effort. What difference does it make if someone runs a marathon or takes an uber given they may arrive at the same location?

Running marathon is not the same as getting to a predestined destination. Try running Rome-Paris next time instead of taking the train, I guess is the same. But still not the marathon goal.
