if you disable plugin update checking in notepad++ it starts faster in my experience.

Yeah, I usually already have vs code open so this doesn't take any time at all. Maybe your workflow is bad?

I've never found any text editor that can open enormous (GB+) files as fast as editpad lite (5.4 from circa 2005) and I still keep it installed for just this reason


no syntax highlighting though

Sublime because it is super fast and just works.

Atom is a piece of poo poo. You have to jump through hoops to get it to work behind a corporate firewall that MITM's SSL connections. And I have crashed it before while editing a big .cpp file because it couldn't keep up with syntax highlighting. It literally choked trying to color my text.

urls can contain credentials if the proxy supports basic authentication so http:// or https://yourusername:yourpassword@yourfirewall:yourportnumber/ might or might not work but then you'd be storing your credentials in the environment

my corporate proxy requires login yet https_proxy=http://proxy:port/ works without specifying credentials in the proxy url so stuff might be allowed by ip address i guess

this frequently breaks for me due to a variety of encoding problems ive encountered for sticking the domain server in with the username (which i have found required when it does work). variants of http://DOMAIN\user:pass@proxy:port have needed DOMAIN\user, DOMAIN/user, DOMAIN\\user, DOMAIN\/user, DOMAIN%5cuser,

basically its all a clusterfuck. CNTLM and fiddler are much simpler, gently caress it

Firewall MITM's all SSL connections. Every PC is imaged with the firewall's SSL cert trusted in the certificate store. Therefore, any application which relies on the internal certificate store of the OS work just fine. It's only apps like Firefox and Atom which have their own internal certificate store which have issues.

While Firefox provides an easy way to add new certificates, until just a few weeks ago Node used a statically compiled, manually updated, hardcoded list of certificate authorities, which means you have to make multiple custom configuration files in different places to disable all SSL checking for Atom as there is no way to just add a new certificate.

I checked github (the only HPKP website that I know of) on my work VPN and it looks like it doesn't scan it. So it probably ignores anything that uses HPKP, which isn't really many websites at all. Not even microsoft.com uses HPKP.

And besides, it is already scanning the SSL traffic. Couldn't it just, you know, remove the public key pins in the request header before sending it to the client?

I have a ~12gb flat file right here with data we extract every week from the system of record (a Teradata warehouse). We extract it to a flat file using fast export and then load it into our local application for processing.

it is weird, considering their audience, how many editors can't deal with huge files, don't work flexibly with encodings, don't have a hex mode, etc

it is not like it is such a complex problem space that it'd be difficult to cover such cases

p. much any log for a system which handles millions of transactions a day, and likely many that do thousands of sufficient complexity

very specifically also stuff like actually working with the binary transaction/recovery logs of some certain systems was best done by using a tool to explode them into text and then using a bunch of unix tools to work ones way through the text. scale happens very quickly when it happens basically, and while one likes to imagine there'll be "specialized" tools to deal with that stuff, the tools will invariably be worse than a good text editor

well I mean I think most people doing actual jobs find the editor that does what they need and stick with it. i used to use bbedit and now I use sublime. I don't need to keep on switching it up.

90% of the other text editors out there are just dumb sperg forks and vanity projects that no one will ever use for serious work *cough* atom

I don't think huge files is a trivial feature. At that point you have to memory map the file and only load in chunks at a time. Syntax highlighting would be a no-go. You would have to restrict features of modern editors like multi-cursor editing and searching to just the loaded chunk. Any plugin APIs would have to have features to understand what portion of the file you have loaded. It's just a big mess.
