I believe we've all inherited or authored a codebase like this at some point.

What's odd is that there seems to be no way to avoid other than someone becoming the "bad cop".
Chrome does it so they can iterate on new features more rapidly. Firefox is now using the same model because it is the most sensible way to produce software.

It's about keeping your word. It's about morality.
Heck people can still donate, a lot more than that too.

And if keeping your word is going to kill, don't write stuff like "ohlala im so poor damn what im gonna do! damn if only people would agree to pay!" and hope that it works.

You man up and you apologize properly, saying it ain't going to be free and that wasn't planned, but it has to be.

Going through the foggy FUD before announcing that (if ever announced of course) would be pretty low on my scale.

How good are you man? Your profile says Objective-C. Get out there and show some stuff! Startup Weekend, Hackathons, local meet-ups, pick an open source project for something and contribute, etc... BE SEEN in the REAL world.

Aside from the above: Do you have friends in the biz? Referrals are the best way to real jobs, IMHO. Do you respond to the monthly posts here on HN where people are seeking expertise? Where are you located?

EDIT: To answer your question: You get recruited by being good. You also need to be visible. Create value and you will be found!

TextMate 2.0 will be free. Maybe TextMate 2.0.1 will cost $79. Maybe if enough people support TextMate 2.0 by paying for it, the rest of the freeloaders will get 2.0.1 for free, as well.

Didn't say it was impossible, just harder. ARM is a good example, so let's use that.

ARM is tiny compared to, say, Intel (1,700 employees vs 82k, GBP406m revenue vs GBP27 billion), despite having great technology for many decades and being, as you say, the hottest thing in processors right now.

It should be much larger, but it is not because the UK as a culture does not value or nurture entrepreneurial talent to the anywhere near the extent that the US does. If it did, then shouldn't ARM be much closer in size to Intel, Texas Instruments (GBP8bn rev), AMD (GBP4bn rev) or nVidia (GBP2.1bn rev)?

Again, I am not saying that there are no entrepreneurs, startups or successful companies in the UK, but that the odds are significantly better for US companies.

Seriously? You're in freakin' LA (or near enough to count - from your LinkedIn) - get your ass out of your house and in the streets. Go to Santa Monica. Go to CoLoft. Go to LASW (la.startupweekend.org). Go to any number of the numerous meetups out here. Get GOOD and get FOCUSED. You, my man, have no excuses! Not trying to be hard, but am being real. I would have thought you were from some remote area or something, but rather, you're right in the middle of the hot spot. Be seen.
I've used it in the past. It's not as elaborate as Google Analytics. It's nice but I wouldn't use for anything serious or business oriented. If you have some personal sites or if you're really paranoid about your data its an OK solution. Needs some work on the UI though, it's design is bit clunky.
Nope, no job. Interviewing now, pretty much an interview a day right now. Already got two offers.

Nope didn't lose anything on the sublet, other than the fact I had to stay in a hotel for a few days.

Yep that would be a problem. I didn't have anything holding me down. I'm big against home ownership unless you plan on staying in one place for 10+ years or the market is liquid and priced under the rental rate.
For now that will work. Or you can email stuff@[the HackerThings domain]. I plan on adding a suggestions form though very soon.
I can think of one huge feature: not giving all your personal data to the same company.
$40k doesn't mean anything. What does your market look like, and how much experience do you have? Depending on what part of the world/country you live in, how much experience you personally have in your specialty, and how hot your specialty is, that might be normal.

As for actually getting better offers, online social media is great, but also try going to local user groups, conventions, and the like. A person can better judge you than a keyword search engine can.

Ultimately it is a eventually consistent key-value store. They have map-reduce and a new meta-data thing that lets you query documents, but you really only want to use it if your data maps well to key/value (and lots of data does!). The really cool things are that it is truly horizontal scale - a new node brings read+write+map-reduce power, and that it will help you sleep better with its dynamo-ism.

As a netbeans user but vim fanatic. I really like netbeans for project management, but vim is awesome for just manipulating text tons faster than you can with netbeans. Try the jVi plugin for netbeans to get that text editing power of vim with the project management features of netbeans.

On a more serious note I'm a true believer in RISK capital. Once your company is actually profitable it seems like a great idea to ensure that you do a bit of R&D in-house.

Worst case scenario you get a nice blurb somewhere about keeping corporate research alive, best case you invent something ridiculously cool.
What is the technology behind Dropbox?
Does anybody know how Dropbox manages to give 2 GB free to each user? Yes, the paid users pay for it, but there must be something else going on? Do they do some form of compression of data (sounds like a bad idea for speed)? There are these guys at Bitcasa (http://www.bitcasa.com/about/) who are planning to give infinite storage to each user for $10 per month, arguing that when you consider many users, each user will only have about 25GB of unique data (http://techcrunch.com/2011/09/12/with-bitcasa-the-entire-cloud-is-your-hard-drive-for-only-10-per-month/). So maybe Dropbox does something like this already? Speculate.
Interesting - well, that would get me to choose leveldb then!

Marco's position, which I support, is a little like Warren Buffett pointing out that his taxes are too low, which I also support.

People who reply "Well if you think your taxes are so low, make a voluntary contribution" are probably-deliberately overlooking that the goal isn't for an individual to pay more, it's to provide meaningful support to the entity which needs the revenue, whether that's Allen Odgaard or the US government.

For me, it's the ease of use, the HTML bundle's shortcuts for quickly slicing through markup, the automatic recognition of languages embedded within languages (JavaScript bundle and syntax highlighting automatically activated when the cursor is in JS code inside HTML). The easy macro recording doesn't hurt either.

What is Facebook's lifespan?
It's well documented that certain people have already left the social network or are planning to leave soon.

When does it become mainstream - and by that I mean 16-25 year olds are doing it - to deactivate your Facebook account? I don't think people will go social network-less... something a.) cooler and b.) better would have to take its place for a substantial amount of people to leave, and I don't think that product is out there at this point.

The concept of charity is entirely relevant here. This is a business, we're not here to give money away when we don't have to. Geez, keep your opinions to yourself, if you feel you should pay for it, then go pay for it, and donate even more if you feel it's worth it. I don't care if it's $1, $20 or $100. It's the PRINCIPLE. He's in a BUSINESS. This ain't no feel-good charity here.

I don't use it for everything, hence my JetBrains recommendation. I use PyCharm a lot, too, for example, and Android dev is a hassle without Eclipse.

The portability of Vim-the-application and thus the portability of the skills to use it are a big reason why I put in the time to learn it (same applies for Emacs). I can just as comfortably program locally, on a remote server or on a friend's machine.
To say it's a political problem is to say that you can solve all famine just by just changing over to democracy which simply isn't the case (although it would help!).

That's an error in causation. What's more likely is you're seeing the fact that democracy helps but what helps more is the same societal characteristics that are salient for developing a strong democracy (e.g. a strong, educated middle class) also tend to insulate those societies from shocks to the food supply.

Certainly type of government is important but to say famine isn't also caused by lack of resources is silly.

"Deaths from malnutrition on a large scale have continued across India into modern times. In Maharashtra alone, for example, there were around 45,000 childhood deaths due to mild or severe malnutrition in 2009, according to the Times of India.[145] Another Times of India report in 2010 has stated that 50% of childhood deaths in India are attributable to malnutrition.[146] Around 7.5 million people per year die of malnutrition in modern India, the largest death rate caused by malnutrition for any country."

So, at first glance (sorry pressed for time right now), there are a couple of spelling/grammar issues you should tackle. More importantly, there is no description for what you currently do at Trinnovations. You list some of your specialties, which is great, but there's no context on how you use/used them in your previous/current jobs.

I would set up an about.me page and link to your LI. Link out from LI to your about.me. Start blogging if you think you can fit it in. Even if it's filled with entries about what you learned/did/achieved/figured out that day or week. The more technical the better.

And, as was mentioned in another comment: You're close to a hot spot already. Close is stretching it considering the drive from IE to Santa Monica, but, do it anyway. Do it on a Saturday. Go to Coloft in the morning, get a day pass, and work on something. Take breaks and meet others. Not sure what to break the ice with? Try something like "Hey, so is coloft always this energetic (/vibrant/quiet/boring/lively/productive/whatever)". Ask what they're working on. Listen. They'll ask you the same.

Don't let yourself make up excuses. You're close enough to a really hot market where companies are climbing over each other for talent. If you want it, make it happen.
He should start a donation fund to pay for the development of TextMate2.
I'd happily throw a few hundred $$$ into that. I own TextMate 1, so I get the update for free.

Problem for him is, he'd open himself up to litigation if he tried to charge for TextMate 2. However I'm also of the opinion that the lack of release is due to the lack of cash. If he could see money rolling in via "donations" maybe he'd be more capable of paying his bills and continuing to develop his great editor.

Aye. Listen to this guy.
People didn't agree to pay taxes because they were promised that their taxes would remain at X rate for Y period of time.

People did agree to buy TM1 because of the promise of a free upgrade to TM2.
Repeating what I commented on the post itself, but this is a really interesting observation.

I can confirm from limited experience that this is happening. But the problem is that “giving Japanese programmers good frameworks and libraries” is not as easy as just handing them a package and being done with it. The pace of modern frameworks like Rails etc. is so fast that there is a big learning curve just getting used to staying in the loop.

We lost at least a week on a project I’m working on catching up when Rails 3.1 hit, because all these useful things (asset pipeline, etc.) require effort to tie into existing practices. Imagine the Japanese developer with limited English skill, trying to navigate the discussion threads like this one ( https://github.com/chriseppstein/compass/issues/337 ) (just as an example). It’s a lot of work.

So I think what happens is that, although re-inventing the wheel is a hell of a job, at least it means that the basic groundwork is constant and designed internally, whereas using frameworks means that you’re building on someone else’s work — usually non-Japanese, so not well documented in Japanese.
It looks incredibly unstable. A gust of wind will tip it over.
Very true.

One thing that seems very important to companies is support, i.e. "what if it breaks". This also tends to trump everything else, even the cost of an acquisition or its quality (frankly, many IT departments have a CYA policy). Even free software that is demonstrably superior in every way to some overpriced enterprisey solution could be shot down if it's not clear how someone would install and maintain the app, and if it's not clear where to go if the app exploded tomorrow.

While it is valid to question how an app will be supported, I think that IT departments tend to give this too much weight and spend too little time thinking about what else they might do. "Run screaming to tech support person from vendor" is not a disaster recovery plan, but in too many organizations that seems to be all there is.

What is the probability of an incident? How severe can the problems be? Would those problems have work-arounds? And ultimately, can all critical data be accessed and backed up regularly just in case of a failure? In the well-designed free software that I've seen, these questions have great answers and there's usually some bonuses like support forums, source code, and hundreds of known users worldwide. In other words, risk is pretty small and there is definitely some reward, but it requires your IT people to actually invest a little time to learn and to keep things moving (for example, to install new versions regularly and to brush up on scripting skills).
That scenario always makes me think back to simcity (2000?) where as you'd advance, you could build these microwave beam powerplants, and occasionally they'd lose tracking and start burning down your city...

Sincere request to HN readers. If you have ethics, try to avoid working for Palantir. Palantir is an unethical company. They were involved in the HBGary scandal. They tried to smear Glenn Greenwald. They might have the best and hardest interview process and may have the smartest people. But all these technical wizardry is moot when they don't have ethics.

1.Yes, indeed my existing version of TextMate will work just fine, however it won't get any new features/updates in the long run since probably most resources will be spent developing TextMate 2. I will be using an abandoned product.

2. My TextMate license is only a few months old, so probably there will be the felling of buyer's remorse.

3. Since MacVim is free if there will ever be a totally new MacVim version I can easily switch to it with no additional costs involved.

So in the short run, yes sticking to TextMate is far easier, but in the long run I feel like switching to MacVim will be a better investment.

Google/Android was first to market with systemwide voice-to-text. But Apple won't disappoint. I expect Apple's Assistant to be pretty impressive.
I used to fault the client or prospect for asking such _foolish_ questions, but in many cases this may be the first time they have ever engaged creative services. It seems so obvious to us, but not everyone has worked with an architect or an interior designer or a software developer or an advertising agency.

My tactic is to frame the 'how much does it cost' question into something they can relate to. I compare the website to a house. I explain that the cost is dependent on factors like the number of bedrooms and bathrooms. I explain that knowing a rough budget is helpful because the designers would know if they should shop at Ikea or (insert local high end furniture store). I ask them if they want hardwoods or carpeting.

Usually the house example helps the client understand that he/she is asking an impossible question and they then are more comfortable going into specifics about their idea so I can get then a fair estimate.
