I like this magazine vibe, it reminds me of the good ol' l33t zines from the late '80s and '90s. However, if I can offer a suggestion, I'd also pair the technical articles with a little more punky, down-to-earth stuff. They were cheerful, informal, and full of that cheeky, irreverent, cocky smart-ass humor, plus this mysterious edge that made them absolutely magnetic to me. Life just wasn’t so heavy back then.
I got both Sublime and VSCode. Sublime is a work of love. You can probably do more things with vscode, but I'm not sure you can do many of these things better or faster than sublime. I don't think so.
This time I unfortunately have to move on from Notepad++. Vibes have been negative for a while but out of inertia (and because there weren't obvious alternatives) I never pulled the trigger. Now it's time. The trust is gone.
Thanks NP++ for being free and useful for so many years.
Can anyone suggest a solid alternative on Windows? I'm fine with Linux and macOS but I have to keep a Windows machine around for some legacy, win only, software.
Maybe Sublime Text could be an option? At this point I'd rather pay for something lightweight, fast, and probably better.
I don't like tooling that increases my exposure to bad state actors (whatever state they're from).
don't worry it will be 45 billion but we won't build it anyway. But you know, between expropriations, bribes, friends of friends, projects, etc. some money will have to be spent.
The lesson is clear. You cannot delegate your defense to others if they are in competition with you. I don't understand why my comment got so many downvotes. I would have appreciated a discussion on the topic instead.
Maybe these papers:
"Attention Is All You Need" (Transformer paper, 2017)
"Improving Language Understanding by Generative Pre-training" (GPT-1, 2018)
"Language Models are Unsupervised Multitask Learners" (GPT-2, 2019)
