Atom takes longer to start up than text editors like Vim and Sublime Text because of the dynamic architecture of the app. The majority of our code is written in JavaScript as opposed to C or C++, which is important for Atom’s extensibility, but makes it more challenging to ensure that the app starts quickly.

Yet Microsoft's VSCode, which is also Electron based, is much faster than Atom. Electron obviously slows it down, but Atom's refusal to admit their performance issues for so long are also to blame

Whilst I think you would be an idiot to run unknown software on your home network

Kodi is very well known and respected, it's the new/rebranded version of XBMC (XBox Media Center) - it's been around for quite some time

On the one hand they are doing all the right things in terms of supporting FOSS

Could always end up as Embrace, extend, extinguish v2.0 - but here's hoping they get it right this time

I use Atom over Sublime simply because Sublime doesn't support touch screen scrolling, and it's just second nature for me to touch and drag my screen when scrolling now.

VSCode is apparently faster than Atom, and I sped Atom up considerably by disabling languages that I rarely/never use. Timecop plugin does wonders for tracking down the slow plugins

Huh, I guess it just isn't shown on the file menu then. Thanks!

Man, I'd really like if they'd just add a default hotkey for 'Open Folder'. I know you can custom map hotkeys, but for an editor that's supposed to be 'easy to use out of the box', it's still lacking some basic features.

That being said, it's nice that they're improving it still

This is what happens when major decisions can be determined a simple majority vote. What does 52 to 48 mean? It means UNDECIDED. Half the country feels one way, and the other half feels the other way. For a change this large, it should require at least a 60/40 vote. If the population is undecided

It's important to point out that most of the UK jvoted to leave, where as every province (do they have provinces?) in Scotland voted to remain. It's a tad ironic considering Scotland voted to remain in the UK the other year - but I think they'll be leaving the UK soon.

I don't think the UK should remain because the vote was close, as once the Scottish vote is removed, it's much more than 52/48

The EU is not only about trade regulations, but about a continent who had a not very peaceful history finally growing together.

I feel like the EU has been becoming more of a ruling political power than just the trade regulator it began as. I think the recent increase in EU laws is what set this into motion. I agree that the EU is beneficial for trade, but I don't understand why they've started trying to make political moves impacting citizens day to day lives

nothing else I know of has message snoozing. ANY suggestions welcomed.

The new Outlook mobile apps support scheduling for later. I don't think it's as nice as Mailbox was (with multiple choices for when to schedule) but it's the closest thing I know of.

Is there any solid proof that all of the links you shared were actually done by the employee who contacted Cryptome? It seems the pastebin could have been done by anyone, I don't see anything linking these accounts to the individual cited in the Cryptome page.

Edit: Not saying that the Cryptome article is/isn't real, I'm just curious if there's proof of past bad mouthing and mental instability

They seem to be indexing Bing too ;) https://www.google.com/search?num=20&pws=0&hl=en&q=site%3Aht...

Another interesting thing is that in the diff for 7.1a and 7.2 the author changed U.S. to United States several times. Some people think this is to draw attention to it being related to the US government

I'm not too up to date on TrueCrypt, but are the authors of the project known? Or is their identity unknown? Can they be contacted in any way, or is there anywhere they post often?

Not sure, but according to a more recent article, it'll be about 2017, not 2015: http://money.cnn.com/2014/01/14/autos/musk-tesla-cheaper/

However the creators of XP are not supporting it. How long should they be supporting an OS? You can't expect them to support it forever. No one complains that older phones aren't supported anymore, any is the case for XP so special?

It's likely legal stuff, when stuff isn't available in the UK or another foreign market, it's not that they 'don't care' it's that they simply haven't worked out all the details, or simply can't.

The EU has a completely different set of laws than the US does, so promotions need to be rolled out separately.

It's eerie how accurate they recreated her nose. It'll be interesting to see how soon this takes off

Yet Chrome and Firefox are still

Older versions of FF are yes, but the latest is not supportedhttps://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/firefox-no-longer-works...

There's no reason they should be expected to put dev resources into an OS that's 12 years old.

What chrome did is fine for me. I don't need a super snappy web browser for mobile sites. I'd be fine with a UI that syncs with Firefox on top of WebKit

Not sure why they can't just slap something together like Chrome for iOS. Sure, it won't be the real firefox, but I just want to access my passwords, history, and such easily

I wish they'd port some form of the sync to iOS. Syncing between my phone and my laptop is the only reason I'm still on Chrome

Clickbait/misleading title.

1) They will only block donations should Wikipedia not comply with the new Finnish law that states any fundraising needs a special permit that ensures fundraising is withing guidelines for Finnish regulations

2) They aren't targeting Wikipedia, this rule is for any nonprofit.

not be faced with comments that most often reiterate whatever's in the article anyway

The comments are hidden by default it looks like, they won't be in your face unless you want them to be.

Your arguments of TEPCO links to the Japanese Mob is irrelevant, as the Snopes article discusses on whether or not the radiation levels are effecting the US.

Also, the link you gave on the US raising safe level markings is not a respected news source, and the article only links to other articles from the site as "sources". If's fine to call BS on an article on HN, but make sure you give proper backing to your claims, the post you just wrote doesn't.

They're starting to make moves to. They recently overhauled the app to make it a lot less fun and social, and it has more ads now and the focus seems to have changed form fun to a yelp alternative, as others have pointed out.

worth the damage to our antibiotic stock It isn't worth damaging our future by needlessly speeding up drug resistance either

By doing this you make yourself a target. If any one of those are compromised, attackers will attempt to try that against a lot of popular sites (including banks).

And if you use the same email for everything (as is the alternative), attackers can attempt to try that against popular sites. So I don't see the downside of this method?

And that Google isn't limited by the Constitution

I'm pretty sure it is...

Most responsible disclosure is normally posted about sooner though. I think what the OP meant is that waiting 2 months later, and then giving the post this title, makes it seem as though it was a more recent bug

can't do this on iOS. It can, and has been done, it's just Apple won't allow apps that do this in the store, hence the need for jailbreaking
