- growl support for build processes allows you to kinda walk away/surf away and know when it’s done anyway.
- autocomplete (if you don’t hate it)
- themes is a huge one for me I use a few different themes depending on the atmosphere I am currently in to help with contrast so I don’t need to increase my screen brightness to blinding levels when I am in a darker area and vise versa-
I’m using iTerm2. I must say that I’m not impressed after 2 weeks of usage. The growl support is kinda silly, most of the times is not needed. The autocomplete feature, is nowhere to be found (my bad probably) and the lack of ctrl+click on links makes me kinda crazy.
I think I’ll go back to Terminal. That said, it’s always nice to have options. Better have iterm2 around than nothing.

Love rust & can’t wait for version 1. but until then it is in too much flux for actual use. :/ Looks like a very nice language

TrueCrypt future uncertain following site update, migration "release"
Anyone have any good alternatives to TrueCrypt, ones that are multi-platform?
-
I live in the Python3 world. All new libraries seem to be written for version 3 and most of the major libraries target version 3 as well. It is the efforts in PyPy and Jython that are being killed by this migration.
-
PyPy is making pypy v3 also so I don’t know how you can say it’s the reason python 3 is “being killed”… http://pypy.org/download.html PyPy3 2.1 beta 1 it just takes a while to move from one version to the other with packages
-
FWIW, I read goalieca’s statement as “PyPy and Jython are being hurt by the migration” rather than “The migration is being hurt by PyPy and Jython.”
(My first reading was the same as yours though. Had to re-read it a couple times.)
-
-
I know that a couple of libraries we use at work, gevent for example, were only somewhat recently “ported” to python3 for released versions. As such we have a quite extensive codebase on python2, and the large portion of it is web centric – so it would require a good amount of effort to “port” it to python3.
Also until somewhat recently python3 was slower than python2. That is a hard sell for a high volume web stack: spend lots of time upgrading something that works, AND requires more servers? That isn’t going to happen.
My hope is that another 6 months down the road things will look better for python3. I have also been using Go quite a bit more lately. ;)

Just going on the “But when you do, it is much faster to pick up changes than either of the other two…” bittorrent sync is set to rescan every 600s (which you can change to 60s or lower if you wish inside prefs>adv. prefs) where as the default for syncthing is 60 seconds which will burn up more cpu just idling than btsync. & btsync does have a key feature over open source syncing tools, if firewalls are present on both sides of a connection it uses their bittorrent sync server as a tunnel and everything is encrypted http://www.bittorrent.com/sync/technology “Traffic Relay”… supposedly ;), but I do love that I can know exactly what is going on in syncthing :)

Does anyone know how it compares to Adobe Brackets? They seem to have very similar architecture and goals, but brackets was already open source yesterday and is already cross platform today.
The main reason I ask is that I just put in a few days creating my first Brackets extension and wondering if I should jump ship while it’s still early.

I love (and paid for!) Sublime Text, however I’m afraid that it will follow the path of previous closed source solutions. To me this means getting massive amounts of features that no one wants, or worse being abandoned (see TextMate). The only way to combat both of these is to open the source fully and let the community nurture and grow the platform.
For these reasons I’m very happy that Github decided to open source Atom. It means that if I choose to start using it I can be comfortable in the knowledge that I can continue to use it in the future, even if Github stops developing it. The big question is whether it will get enough traction and polish to replace ST for my code slinging ways. :)
-
TextMate is not abandoned. Infact you can build it yourself. https://github.com/textmate/textmate. The last commit was 9 days ago.

Follow up to the investigation results behind github employees claims
How interesting that this site prides itself on having their users who downvote explain why they did. And yet I receive two downvotes one of which I understand because it is my first post and I am just trying to get to understand where it should fit in and the other just makes non-sense because this story unless the title was completely changed has not been already posted. And yet neither of these users cared to comment to help me understand where they were coming from. This is the second post on github’s blog about the topic I do understand that they were similarly titled but I tried not to change the title but still make it understandable. (not the same thing as) https://github.com/blog/1823-results-of-the-github-investigation

Hi @gabeio, welcome to Lobsters. I’m sorry that your first post hasn’t gone smoothly. As one of the four people that down voted this article (and two that hid it) I’ll walk you through the reasoning behind the downvotes. At the time I’m writing this comment, the story has down votes for already posted, off-topic, and poorly tagged.
already posted: While your article itself has not been posted, this person is probably referring to the fact that this topic has already been covered in a previous submission. I agree with you that this isn’t a fair reason to downvote your story.
poorly tagged: The tags you’ve used don’t really apply to this story. The article is about the results of an internal investigation at GitHub. While it pertains to GitHub’s culture, most stories tagged “culture” are about how to improve or manage a company’s culture. Also, the “web” tag isn’t appropriate, because this article has nothing to do with the internet, it is merely posted using the web.
off-topic: I downvoted this story as off-topic because I, like many Lobsters users, don’t like seeing these types of stories. This story has zero technical content. It’s about a HR mishap inside I company I don’t work for. And even though this blog post sheds some new light on the issue, it still provides zero value beyond celebrity and valley gossip.
Lobsters itself has a strong bias against valley news of any kind. You won’t find news here about new startups, acquisitions, or IPOs.
Also, a meta-comment: please refrain from using unnecessary capitalization in your comments. There’s no need to yell :)
-
Thanks for your comments and I will take them under consideration next time posting something but it seems that you at least are incorrect about only one part.
like many Lobsters users, don’t like seeing these types of stories
at least thus far the favor is for seeing a story like this, 10:4.
As such I did agree that it is tagged wrong as I didn’t know of the extended description of these tags. And as for off-topic this is more of an opinion and less of a true/false and in my opinion should not be available.
Sorry, I corrected the cap lock to italics ;].
-
Yes, for this particular story, I agree that I am in the minority. I should have made it clear that my comment refers to other stories in the past with similar content that were not well received.
And as for off-topic this is more of an opinion and less of a true/false and in my opinion should not be available
I disagree with removing the “off-topic” down vote, as down-votes are not about expressing facts, but instead about expressing opinions. I’d rather not see these type of articles on Lobsters, so I used my downvote to express that fact.
-

Fair enough. & I will still attempt not to make posts about “valley drama” which I don’t really know/care what companies are in the valley (as I am on the east coast) so it’s hard for me to filter my posts about such topics.
-
It doesn’t have to do with where the company is located so much as that it’s fundamentally a who-did-what type story. There’s a quote (often attributed to Eleanor Roosevelt, which seems dubious) that great minds discuss ideas, average minds discuss events, small minds discuss people. Well, there are plenty of sites on the web already for discussing people.
Lobsters so far has distinguished itself to me as a place of interesting idea-level links, appearing here much sooner than they gain traction elsewhere, if they gain any traction at all. News stories that gain favour here are generally those of broader significance.

Would aes256-cbc be better than blowfish in this case with vim encryption or no? And is as even possible with vim (what library does vim use)
-
Perhaps, but vim doesn’t appear to support it. Check out the :help cryptmethod, mine only has zip and blowfish (MacVim 7.4.258).
Also I believe counter modes are better than CBC. OpenSSH prioritizes aes-ctr over aes-cbc nowadays, and even puts arcfour above cbc. GCM is also interesting.
Edit regarding blowfish, I found the following on wikipedia:
Bruce Schneier, Blowfish’s creator, is quoted in 2007 as saying “At this point, though, I’m amazed it’s still being used. If people ask, I recommend Twofish instead.”

“There are password management apps that generate and store passwords for you like LastPass, but they can’t be trusted as they store your passwords on their servers.”
I’m pretty sure they only store the encrypted database on their servers (your passwords are encrypted with your master password before being sent to the server), which is equivalent to using Dropbox or Google Drive to sync your encrypted file.
-
Yes, I use Lastpass because I read that all of their encryption and decryption is done on-device using Javascript. Their servers never see your master password or your site passwords, they only pass the encrypted blob back and forth.
It’s also rather handy to have it built-in to all major browser, generate gibberish passwords, and have mobile apps too.

wow this has become even more persistent than before. I actually remember this guy & code was in the news a while back. Wikipedia states: in 2010 the reported it the “undelete-able cookie”. Jeez, it even uses the java exploit to write files directly to the hard drive!
