Re:I still like Sublime Text in 2025 on Thursday January 30, 2025 @11:45AM (#42879505)
I'm sort of married to Sublime Text. I install all my plugins via "git clone" and never Package Control. Then I study their details, customize them in the source, modify keybindings etc. If you are this attached to a tool, it becomes an extension to your body.

P.S. No need to say that I update my plugins through code review!

I'm quite happy since the day I left official Firefox. First I disabled auto-updates at v55.0 for some long time and then switched to Waterfox. So far the switch is a peace of mind and I don't feel disrespected when I see news like this any more.

Mozilla is unfortunately losing its meaning since they decided to follow Google closely. Firefox one day will be a marginal browser. Or maybe it already is?

> You collect "aggregate" statistics from the open source server by default?

I've seen other open source apps that does that by default as well. Open source just means the source is open and that is all.

Re:PHP 8 to Add a JIT on Tuesday April 02, 2019 @12:38PM (#19556010)
So if JIT involves compiling into native machine code, can we expect that in the future JIT capability would help PHP devs implement compiling whole PHP project into native (like a single .exe binary for Windows)?
