Atom is a free, open-source text editor that bills itself as being “hackable to the core,” allowing for multiple customizations. Take Atom, one of the more popular IDEs/editors. Vim has a small footprint, low latency, fast startup, allows for more screen space, customizable and most importantly, once the muscle-memory has been ingrained, it’s nearly impossible to switch to something else.Ĭontinues Carter: “Our fingers are often the bottleneck between thinking up code and getting it in the app, so that’s where folks look to optimize shortcuts.” ![]() It seems silly but that kind of pivot takes energy.” I got the job, a family, and side projects. It takes energy to pivot to a new editor. On an emotional and professional level, I can’t really afford that. “Since then it’s become a question of ‘code speed.’ If I start with a new IDE or even switch to something like Emacs, I’ll slow down. “The reason I avoided IDEs to begin with was that back when I was getting into Vim, like a decade ago, it was an extra license to look into,” says Vim user John Carter (not of Mars). It’s the same reason I am still using Notepad to compose and not some fancy text editor or CMS tool. As my father would attest, using his Microsoft Zune long after its support ran out, if it ain’t broke… While there are many IDEs on the market, there’s no reason to use one if you don’t have to use one. The consensus among many Vim/Emacs users creates a picture many tech users from a certain generation would be familiar with. Vim and Emacs users, once at each other’s throats, seem to have implemented each other’s keybindings (a thing they actually do) to take on a common enemy - any modern IDE. It’s less a war at this point than a grumbling shuffle of ingrained habit and stubborn resistance to change. The endless war between Vim and Emacs users has continued ad nauseam over the years. And, though we hate to say it, both have reached a point where neither seems to really want to fade off into the sunset. ![]() Both are used in coding, editing, and administering systems. Emacs, as we well know, is a “maze of twisty little passages, all different,” (an old programmer’s joke that came from the game Colossal Cave Adventure) while Vim (and Vi before it) offers an arrow-controlled universe of keyboard shortcuts. The origins of this war harken back to Usenet groups in the 1980s, a time when Vi and Emacs were the primary tools used for coding. We love what we grew up with, be it Star Trek jokes, Vim, or Emacs. Like a dog refusing to walk on wet grass, there always seemed to be a bit of resistance to changing up a routine. ![]() You can also find their Tiny Desk concert here.

Them being dead via the medium of vehicular misadventure is, apparently, not the right kind of dead, and they must die by your whacking with a big stick alone. The rival bikers are appalling drivers - so appalling, that one questions why the revolution of choice in Ashen ever involved motorcycles at all - and they will, every ten seconds or so, crash into something and die. The ones where you have to kill rival gang members has you checking your mini-map to see where the villains are, hunting them down, swinging for them with your baseball bat, and hoping that it'll actually work. There's a bunch of different mission types beyond simple races and time trials and they all come with a catalogue of issues. You can use your handbrake - bizarrely mapped to X - to try and take corners at a higher speed, but it's so finicky to use and so wildly unpredictable in its effects that it rarely results in anything other than a poorly animated crash and the grim realisation that the only penalty for death in this game is immediate resurrection and the instruction to carry on playing. Trying to turn corners at anything other than the pace of a particularly lackadaisical gastropod is a fool's errand since you can't drift, and your bike has the turning circle of the Queen Mary - the massive boat, not the wife of King George V.

Unlike previous KE-ASAT designs, these co-orbitals worked by syncing up with a target satellite’s orbit, then detonating. The Soviet Union responded with its own ASAT program, developing weapons through the 1960s and 70s known as co-orbitals. In response, the US developed its first ASAT: Bold Orion, an air-launched ballistic missile. The earliest ASAT testing began during the Cold War, when the success of Sputnik I in October of 1957 catalyzed American fears about the Soviet Union’s potential goal of developing nuclear armed satellites capable of circling the globe. ![]() ![]() As a result, regulating ASATs -and many other space-based weapons systems -is extremely difficult. With ostensibly civil but covertly military capabilities or functions, many space technologies, including ADR, are put in a category commonly known as “dual-use.” The dual-use nature of space infrastructure makes differentiating between weapon and non-weapon nearly impossible. For example, supposedly benign technology aimed at removing defunct satellites or other space junk -known as Active Debris Removal (ADR) technology - can also remove active satellites. Drones, ballistic missiles, and explosives detonated near satellites can all function as KE-ASATs.Ĭonversely, non-kinetic ASATs use any non-physical mechanism to render a satellite inoperative, such as blinding satellites with lasers, launching cyberattacks, or jamming frequencies.īut definitional issues arise because any technology that can physically or non-kinetically damage a satellite can be considered an ASAT weapon. For example, kinetic energy ASATs (KE-ASATs) destroy satellites by physically colliding with them at high velocities. On one level, they are exactly what the term suggests: weapons designed to destroy or limit satellites for military purposes, such as undermining the command and control centers of an adversary’s military. What Are Anti-Satellite Weapons (ASATs)?ĭifficult to define, ASATs occupy a gray zone in international arms control. The race for these weapons not only increases the risk of global conflict-it could jeopardize all future space exploration. We are now witnessing the rapid and increasingly international development of anti-satellite weapons. While the current space race may not have the same monopoly on the American imagination as the sprint to the moon held during the 1950s and 60s, it deserves our equal attention. ![]() Nevertheless, a space race born from the Cold War continues to unfold. In that time, the Berlin Wall has fallen, the Soviet Union has dissolved, and China has become one of the United States’ largest trading partners. It has been decades since the Soviet Union launched Sputnik I and Americans landed on the moon. A space race with Russia and China may seem like a concern of the 20th century, not the 21st. |
