I certainly don't, and I don't speak for the person you replied to but I figure most people commenting here don't think that either
> The Bolivarian regime came to power in a free and fair election
Hugo Chavez was elected president legitimately in 1998, so it's true that the Bolivarian regime came to power fairly. But just about nobody that's paying attention thinks Maduro won the presidential election in 2024. Elections were held, Maduro lost (by a huge margin), and he continued being president anyway
There are terms for the combined effects of drinking alcohol and smoking weed. Cross-faded in English, pachipedo in Spanish. I find these terms and the effects they refer to enjoyable.
It's a stochastic simulation (no differential equations), but it produces predator-prey population swings that are pretty close to the Lotka-Volterra model
In each frame of the simulation there's a small random chance that a fox dies (of starvation), and that a rabbit reproduces. The start positions and velocities of the rabbits and foxes are also random
The foxes and rabbits code is the same code in the simulation, I just recently put it on GitHub so I wouldn't lose it
Speed and stability, search, command palette, file navigation, Goto.
And the excellent Python plugin API, which has made the plugin ecosystem so vibrant. Here's one I wrote, https://github.com/kylebebak/Requester, an HTTP client that goes toe to toe with Paw and Postman on features and outdoes them on usability.
I couldn't have have written something like this for any other editor, or any other platform.
Sublime Text is among the best pieces of software I've used. I bought the license a couple of years ago, and would gladly pay the same amount again.
I love its core functionality: speed and stability, search, command palette, file navigation, Goto. I've used a number of editors over the years, and none have felt as fundamentally sound as Sublime Text.
The best feature of all is the Python plugin API. Sublime lacks some OOTB functionality of newer editors, but the plugin ecosystem makes this a non-issue if you're willing to invest in extending your editor. If you write code 6+ hours a day, you should be. Git integration (GitGutter and GitSavvy) is awesome, as is linting (SublimeLinter) and project management (ProjectManager).
I wrote an HTTP client plugin for Sublime called Requester (https://github.com/kylebebak/Requester) in a few thousand lines of code. It matches Postman, Insomnia, Paw et al. on features, and in my opinion handily beats them on usability. It's the plugin API that makes this possible.
Here's my guess on what Jon Skinner set out to do with Sublime Text: build a rock-solid text editor and make it as extensible as possible. Until someone does this better, Sublime is the best editor out there.
Sublime just makes editing fun for me. Especially with the ctrl+d multi-selection.
When it comes to editors, there's definitely a big spectrum of how much it does vs how lightweight/simple it is, and I think Sublime Text, for a majority of my usecases at least, is in the sweet spot.
Don't get me wrong, full fledged IDEs are useful sometimes too, but every time I go to use them, I always spend half my time searching and fighting the program instead of being productive. That's what I mean by Sublime making programming fun. Things don't get in your way and everything is very clean. Sure it may do less, but at least it doesn't drown you in features you don't use either.
The plugin API seems powerful enough but last time I tried to play with it, I didn't get into the groove of things because docs were incomplete/not-up-to-speed/blog-posts-elsewhere-also-often-outdated, all this combined with Python-the-language it felt a bit too fickle/messy to me to get serious --- there was no comparison to the quite brilliant docs at https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/extensionAPI/overview when I weighed my options ---
But now that 3 is out of beta, I'll take another look and once again hope for an exhaustive, complete, up-to-date and comprehensive documentation of plugin development
I've found the docs to be complete but lacking in examples.
Examples often say more in 10 lines of code than a page of docs, but I didn't find this to be an issue. To write Requester, I cloned plugins with features I wanted to implement (e.g. GitSavvy) and used them to complement the docs.
I think the docs could be improved with examples of small useful plugins that touch on various areas of the API. This might be a good project for the community.
I built Requester so that its syntax would be identical to Requests' syntax, so I wouldn't have to come up with my own syntax for the plugin. Requests' syntax is _extensively_ documented, and improving on it would be quite a tall order.
Are there any features you think would be nice that aren't here?
I read about this recently. It's hard to believe these cookies didn't exist until 2016.
The biggest problem solved by cookies has always been sessions. samesite is sufficient for most sessions. It seems like samesite should have been the default from the beginning.
I like to think web browsers take the worse is better approach to security.
Security takes a back seat to reproductive fitness of the web as a platform. JS made the web insecure, but it also made it the world's premier application platform.
