Try doing a find/replace/syntax highlight/multiple cursor/anything productive. Actually don't, your computer will explode!

It's not technically possible for Atom to catchup with SublimeText in terms of speed, unless their is a big leap in quantum computing.
PlzSnow | 10 years ago | on: Atom text editor 1.4 released
It's better, but it's still not useable at a professional level. For example, a simple task such as CMD-D to create multiple cursors in a file. Sublime text screams through the file creating the cursors. Atom is like swimming in syrup. I wish Atom well, it's an amazing piece of software. But the developers chose a dev-stack that suited them instead of one that suited the end users of the software. So it will never take over the world as it could have. See also Discourse.

"i've had it handle 5mb+ files with no issues."
Wow! It's so exciting living in the 1990s!

Do you refuse to use any website written in PHP? How do you manage to have a normal internet life in the year 2015?

PlzSnow | 10 years ago | on: Ask HN: What is a way of making residual income with $5K a month?
I'm a bit horrified at the naivety of this post. I think the best thing you can do is just try it, with the presumption it will fail. Then learn the lessons why it didn't work and try and try again.
At some point you will realise that the notion there's a "sure-fire way to $5K" is completely absurd.
Some random notes on your idea anyway:
- No-one buys from independent websites, only Amazon, eBay, etsy etc
- You will get no traffic to your website
- Phone cases are a commodity, there is no chance you can charge higher than Amazon
- Buying Facebook traffic to sell $10 items doesn't work economically
- Justin Beiber will close down your website with cease and desist
- You will end up with a 1000 cases that you can't even sell for 99c
- The real money is in value-added high-price items, or in selling services

Indeed, we live in a time of unprecedented democracy. But confirmation bias reigns supreme, people read from news sources which confirm their preconceived notions of the world. The Hacker News community is as susceptible to this as anyone else.
PlzSnow | 10 years ago | on: How Finland's Basic Income Experiment Will Work
This story is so vague, it is basically meaningless. The limited experiment may or may not happen in x years.
I understand that people here WANT it to happen and therefore discuss it as if it WILL happen. Unfortunately reality is going to get in the way.
PlzSnow | 10 years ago | on: Finland Is Considering Testing Giving Every Citizen €800 per Month
Just to clarify, Finland is NOT going to give every citizen €800 per month. It is NOT going to implementing basic income.
People read what they want to read, if it fits their political narrative.
A tiny administrative section in Finland is trialling it, but it's only being pushed by a minority left-wing, and it has no chance of being implemented in reality.
This story can be filed along with the "Sweden implements 6-hour working day", which was also arrant nonsense.

Just another comment to say the same thing as the others: great idea and really well done. Congratulations!

I'm not sure it's pan-European. I would say that France and the french speaking Belgium share similar problems of exclusion and segregation, much more so than other European countries.
PlzSnow | 10 years ago | on: How Finland plans to implement the first nation-wide basic income in the EU
I didn't say Basic Income should be written off without trying. I said it should be tried so that it can fail and be seen to be utopian nonsense.
I didn't say that unemployment increasing over time was nonsense, I said that blaming automization was nonsense.

There may be interesting content here, but the website is so badly designed and difficult to use, so no-one will ever use it.

It seems to be a huge problem that random people can store crazy pictures on your computer.
Maybe it would have been better if the images were stored encrypted in some manner, and decrypted on the client.
However I applaud the initiative and newness of this!

There's nothing wrong nor insecure about choosing not to use prepared statements. There does seem to be a very conservative/cargo cult streak amongst some tech people that there are only pure ways to do things. For example there is nothing wrong with building a SQL statement as a string and passing it to a database. If it's programmed correctly then it is exactly as secure as a prepared statement.
PlzSnow | 10 years ago | on: IPFS Pics
It's 2015, there are not "security issues around hosting php applications" otherwise half the internet wouldn't work.
There does seem to be a "cargo cult" attitude to PHP amongst a large part of the tech sector.

In this example, it seems that Indian/Chinese people told Japanese people that other people are not allowed to wear Japanese clothes.
Unfortunately the protestors names are logged forever online, so their stupidity will follow them for their entire lives.
I almost think that it is worth creating a disposable username for use in real-life and not just online.
