> Clinton says different things in public than she does to her friends. She also flip flops. This is not trustworthy.

> Trump is unpleasant, but at least he talks straight.

You seem to imply that since Trump "talks straight", he doesn't flip-flop?

If that's what you're implying, it couldn't be more inaccurate; he has sharply contradicted himself countless times, straight-up denying things he's documented as saying (on TV, Twitter, etc.)

> So I don't think interests will ever align to create a new registry.

Possibly not soon, at least from a technical perspective, but I could definitely see a PR fiasco (security, bias, etc.) causing a loss of confidence in its stewardship.

And I don't think it'd be that big of a disruption if it were to happen; for the hypothetical case of Facebook+Yarn, they're already proxying to NPM, so they could easily continue to do so while also accepting packages that are Yarn-only.

It's basically free advertising for them, this account has 0 comments and has submitted 100% from risingstack.com -- 12 posts in 2 months. It's obvious they're just trying to drum up traffic (i.e. business).

Disclaimer: I haven't used any of the 3 extensively, but I do play around in them from time-to-time. The main difference to me is that ST comes as a bare-metal editor with the potential to do just about anything, while Atom and VSC come with some built-in features that just make life easier and the ability to extend it further.

A concrete example would be VSC's git support; out-of-the-box, it's a full-featured git client, and even if you prefer the git cli for most operations like I do, VSC automatically reads the .git directory and then creates a tab that shows your current changelist (modified, staged) with a visual diff of the files. Also allows you to easily do the common stuff like checkout a branch, commit, push, etc.

If you're a big fan of ST, you probably won't like the alternatives unless you have some frustrations with ST, because ST is probably more powerful overall, but compared to Atom & VSC, the learning curve is also quite a bit higher.

Can you provide some more context?

    > JSON.stringify(1)
    "1"

Stored without a decimal for free, seems like it'd be up to the receiver to interpret it correctly.

What if you receive it in JS?

    JSON.parse(JSON.stringify(1))
    > 1

Ok, so it parses an int for free too... thus my confusion.

Regardless, you can still override anything it does considering the second argument to both `JSON.parse()` and `JSON.stringify()` allows you to provide your own function for handling the logic as you see fit.

Underscore CLI looks interesting as well, though I haven't personally had much of a chance to play with it. It does require NodeJS, which might be a deal-breaker for some, but if it's already in your toolchain then it might come in handy.

They've also been spamming reddit pretty hard. As a mod of a programming sub, I've had to add their domain to the automod spam list for post spam, and then report a user or two to /r/spam for comment spam (and are now shadowbanned) . Kind of surprised to learn that they were YC.

I believe there are simply 2 submissions:

I really like Spolsky's take on it:

Google hates anything that requires a human's touch, and per the article:

> Lately, the administrative load has consisted almost exclusively of abuse management.

They see Google Code as a time-sink, and they're probably right, and it's not surprising to me that they'd drop something that is no longer serving it's intended purpose, but instead has negative implications for their model. Keeping it going forward would require even more hands-on humans, so they scrap it.

As for the deep links, one of the Google Code devs did mention[1]:

> I work on Google Code, and we will be putting a service in place to redirect deep links to project homepages, issues, etc. to their new locations.

His comment also contains a link to a wiki with more information on how to opt-in to this service.

> Her time at Google was not spent working on any projects that produced notable success or revenue.

Her CV begs to differ: she was VP of Search Products and User Experience, and then held key roles in Google Search, Google Images, Google News, Google Maps, Google Books, Google Product Search, Google Toolbar, iGoogle, and Gmail.

As a mod of /r/javascript (for about 6 months now), I'm flattered. The sub really is easy to mod though; yes, we get a couple off-topic & spammy posts every once in awhile, but by-and-large, the JS community there runs itself really well.

What a great response from the developer.

I was already leaning towards 'no' regarding the project, but this has sealed the deal.

I've also personally known several who got canned for taking too much "unlimited" vacation time, even though the amount they took was far from extraordinary.

Do you know how it compares to the old Google Desktop search? I miss that...

Foobar2000 is a great project, it's tremendously efficient (I think it uses 10-20mb when running), and the plugin feature allows you to extend it however you wish.

IMO it has a different place than GIMP, and they actually co-exist on my system. GIMP is more of a PhotoShop clone, whereas Paint.NET is more of a PSP clone and/or MSPaint on steroids. I've found that PS/GIMP are usually best for creating a production-quality image from scratch or for touching up full-color photos, but Paint.NET is best for doing informal graphical work (mock-ups, screenshot annotations, etc.)

Also doesn't mention his JS-based linux: http://bellard.org/jslinux/

> If your only form of communication is random updates/photos from them that you don't actively seek, then you don't really care in the first place do you?

Well that's a rather hasty judgement...

Firstly, I didn't say it was my only communication. Secondly, it does a lot to help fill in the gaps between meetings/conversations.

> Nobody is too busy for a short phone call once in awhile.

And nobody said phone calls are the only -- or even preferred -- means of communication.

> Get their emails/phone numbers, call them once in awhile, grab a coffee.

That works great for those ex-classmates or work friends, who just so happen to live in the same town (or same area of a large town) as you, but that's not why I use FB -- I use it to keep tabs on family. Family members too busy for an hour-long weekly phone call (or I'm too busy to make time for 5-10 of these weekly calls) and too far removed for in-person visits to be viable every few months.

Your advice may work for some, but it falls flat for a lot of common use-cases.

> NSA surveillance critic

Out of all of the possible titles they could have chosen for him, they chose this? Just lump him in with the other millions of humans that are critical of surveillance?

The current gen of e-cigs are amazing. They're not better than quitting full-stop, but they are a great, easy step in that direction.

I don't know if this answers your question, but for me, I login to each site using my Google account, and the top bar shows me notifications across the network of sites. So, the authentication is on a per-site basis, but the account itself seems to be seen as a single account.

Good ideas, but I wouldn't give pre-screened users the keys to the kingdom right away. I think it's an unwritten law that trolls and sockpuppets are going to exist in every industry, and just because someone comes from company X doesn't mean that they're going to be a quality user. You could relax the requirements to attain full membership perhaps, but I sure wouldn't give them the means to easily manipulate the system at-will with nothing more than an email address.

This is perhaps the most insightful comment I've read in weeks, if not months. Kudos.

For lack of a better mechanism, I'm commenting here so that I can read your very informative user page when I get home later. Sorry for the noise all.

> Their biggest asset at this time is the distribution model of Steam

IMO the Steam Machines will offer a very supportive backing as well.

And that's what reinforced cockpit doors are for; if you can't gain access to the pilots then you can't hijack the plane. If you can't hijack the plane, then you can't turn it into a missile. Everything else is just a waste if you're just concerned with preventing the plane from becoming a missile.
