Yes, I use neovim myself! Codespaces looks for a dotfiles repo under your user account, which you can use to install any personal customizations. Mine, which installs a bunch of neovim plugins and configs, is here: https://github.com/dcreager/dotfiles
Ah, fantastic! That sounds like a really good solution. I also have my carefully crafted configuration preferences for Neovim, and wouldn’t be happy with codespaces it didn’t allow me to configure it. But for what you are telling me, they have done it in a smart way. Nice. And it’s nice that they had the people who work mostly in the terminal in mind when creating this. Neovim is a great editor right now, it has been such a fantastic evolution over Vim, adding a language server, for example. Cheers, thanks for replying.
Oh sorry, I suppose I misunderstood something. It indeed is made from public repos.
But then again, I researched a bit and found the licenses to be a bit problematic, not that of Atom itself but the additional packages that are bundled in the binary. It includes some packages whose licenses are unknown and others such as Facebook's libraries(a lot of them) which have the non-free BSD+patents license. In totality the license of the binary doesn't seem to be a really good one.
There's nothing stopping you from disabling this and installing one of the many quality community git packages. We even list them at the bottom of the launch site! https://github.atom.io
Hey we certainly want to look into this. File an issue at https://github.com/atom/github or send an email to atom@github.com describing it and we will!
Some things we're focused on for the next six months:
* Core Experience/Performance
* Git/GitHub integration
* Language integration: better auto-complete, syntax highlighting, and debugging
* Windows-specific features and fixes
I manage Atom at GitHub and I wanted to chime in here saying I agree! We're not waiting for hardware to fix this. My first PC was 386 running at 20 MHz. Modern hardware is insanely fast! Improving Atom's performance is positively a team priority. The overhaul of the display layer that shipped in Atom 1.9 represents a significant step down that path.
I'm the engineering manager lee-dohm mentioned and I just want to echo his sentiment.
We recognize this problem and are working hard to improve it! We're of course thrilled by how popular Atom is, but as you've seen, it's been a real challenge to keep up with the size of the community. The team is small, but growing!
In fact, if you're interested in getting paid to help us fix this, apply to join the team! Openings for engineers on the Atom team will be posted here later this week: https://github.com/about/jobs#positions
Well, sure. There are formulas and techniques for creativity and rebellion in the same way there are formulas and techniques for winning a 100 meter sprint. But formulas and techniques don't turn an overweight, middle-aged guy into a world class sprinter.
Medicare and social security were intended to ensure that people who were too old to work (at a time when the majority of work was manual labor) had a certain minimum standard of living. It was not intended to give healthy people a 30 year end of life vacation nor be a source of funds to futilely try and prolong the last few years of life.
I'm not against social services for the elderly. I don't think my gardener should have to work until he dies. But I also don't want the government to spend millions of dollars so my grandmother can live to 94 instead of 92. It's not even a matter of not wanting to pay the taxes to make that happen, it's a matter of priorities. I'd much rather see that money go to health care for children, for younger people who are still in the work force, and to education. I don't think medical care near the end of life is a particularly useful way to spend public resources.
Are you against private resources being spent by a rich person to live to 94 instead of 92, or just public resources?
I really like the UK NHS "QALYs" system for public spending, but I think it's reasonable for individuals to spend their money as they please (and, as a benefit, if it were paid by 100% private insurance or out of pocket, late stage medical care would be more in touch with needs. An extra 6 months of high-quality life might be worth more than 2y of coma, etc.)
> Are you against private resources being spent by a rich person to live to 94 instead of 92, or just public resources?
I'm against using public resources to do it.
I think it's irrational to use private resources to do it too, the equivalent of burning your house down before you die, but hey people are welcome to do that.
