Probably due to the upgrade to Python 3.
So you don't think a ~640% pricing increase rather large? I'm not saying the software isn't worth $70. But relative to it's previous price, I think it's a pretty significant increase.

Edit: My mistake - I just can't read. It was an $11 increase in price.

Not significantly so. At least not yet.
It forced me to contact my friends face to face. This has HUGE advantages.

I'd much prefer to see my friends face-to-face, but I can't afford to fly very often.
Probably a result of the move to Python 3 for the plugin api?
heh, i kind of know what you mean. I interned there in 2010, and then joined full time in jan 2012, and i was amazed how packed the sf office had become.

now i work down in the new sv office, which has become nearly full within just a few months.

I firmly believe that as any group of people gets larger, they get collectively slower and collectively stupider. Sure you can try to mitigate the rate at which it happens, but it always seems to happen.
it went from 59$ to 70$
In ST2 there is Vintage mode, you can use most VI shortcuts I believe.

It's increased BY 11$, not FROM 11$. Certainly not 640%.
Wow .. wouldn't it be nice to get the diff lines highlighted in ST3. Then you get theirs/mine option on each line (with an 'all' option of course).

Surely not hard to implement (if it's easy to say, it's easy to code, right??)
Finally, .deb for Linux! Seriously almost makes it worth it just on its own.
You can use a vim emulation mode in sublime so all your hard work wasn't for nothing but I believe some of the more advanced vim features don't work in sublime.

The advantage of sublime is that it works well out of the box and with package control it is very easy to install any package you may need.

If you decide to give it a try, try sublime 2 with package control (I believe the trial is still free for sublime 2).
I'm a Sublime Text 2 owner, but the continued lack of a Linux/ARM build nor any announced plans for the same mean I won't be upgrading. It is a shame because I like the editor a lot, but if it doesn't work on all the platforms I use it ultimately has zero value to me.
Not sure to be honest but probably not. My availability checks eventually go through this ruby gem: http://www.ruby-whois.org/

Basically it just does a whois lookup on the domain and I don't think I could replicate that behavior from the client side.

I've installed the Tomorrow theme in Sublime which I love in txtmate/VIM and still wasn't a fan.
Right. I just figured.
Look, we can go 'round and 'round about this, but I'm only trying to make a simple, specific point: you're judging a huge portion of the human race by the actions of a tiny portion of the human race.

And my only point is that excusing Islam for being hostile to Science because it's "younger" than Christianity is a demonstrably poor argument.

All the rest of this discussion about "billions or trillions of nonviolent Muslims" is pretty useless. When a religion and culture seems to produce suicide bomber after suicide bomber and assholes who take over planes to kill thousands of innocent people - at some point the rest of the world has to ask "WTF?"

Should all Americans be judged by the fact that a small number of Americans lied us into invading another country about a decade ago?

What are you talking about? Everyone thought Saddam had an arsenal of dangerous weapons because HE pushed that belief because he was scared of Iran. Numerous non-American intelligence sources supported the belief that Saddam had WMDs. I didn't actually support going into Iraq due to the cost, but military reasons to do so were there. Saddam could have ended the whole thing any time by letting the inspections happen.

Sure, there was a lie. Saddam's. There was also incorrect intelligence. However to still call it a lie by the American government is itself an untruth.

Then use other means of contact. The point isn't to replace facebook with the same amount of convenience. The point is to disable the illusion that Facebook is necessary to keep in contact with your distant friends/family.

Use a phone. Use the postal system. Yes, it's not as "instant" but it at least shows that you put in work to contact them. Or you can use open technologies like Jitsi or Ekiga to do video chat with them (if they are willing. If they aren't, then perhaps explain to them why it's important). There are options out there. Facebook isn't the ONLY technology that closes the gap.
Thanks nobody reached out to me this way yet. I've been trying for ten years, only to be excluded. I am one of those people who say "I want to help" but nobody seems to want my help.

I am disabled and cannot drive a car anymore, I am mentally ill and that means not a very good public speaker. I am not sure if I can meet you for coffee unless I can find a ride somewhere. Since I've become disabled I've been family oriented because I've basically been rejected by the industry and community. When I was young I wanted to start a silicon valley type community in St. Louis in the 1980's and people laughed at me back then. I was a teenager who taught myself how to program on a Commodore 64 because that is all my father could afford to buy me. In high school I learned USCD Pascal and Turbo Pascal. I hold two degrees one in computers and one in business management.

I ran two small businesses in the past, and while they didn't become successes I learned from my failures. At jobs I had I would mentor the new programmers and tutor them to get them up to speed.

Humidifier update
More like $20 after you write it off on your taxes. Seems like a steal to me. Intuit wants $170 to upgrade QuickBooks, Adobe wants $200 to upgrade Photoshop, and this little text editor adds more to my bottom line productivity than either.

The vintage mode is excellent. It's the best emulation of vim that I've used.

Sadly I can't run ST2 on our work machines as the RHEL version we use has a libc (glibc?) that is too old. I'm unable to host my own libc due to a binary format change that is incompatible with the system dynamic loader.
Sublime works better out of the box and is arguably prettier. But if you like modal editing then Sublime may not be for you.

There is Vintage mode, but IMO it doesn't work very well. The differences are small but numerous, and it's very annoying when the behaviour doesn't match Vim's. Others have rightly pointed out that many advanced features are missing, but I'm not talking about those - I'm talking about your bread and butter navigation/editing commands.

To make matters worse, while there is the occasional pull request, official development of Vintage mode seems to be at a complete halt.

I purchased Sublime and really, really tried switching to it (I think I gave it about six months), but I had to switch back.
I'm confused by their logic. Customers are those who are unable to keep one set of servers appropriately secured and unable to mitigate compromises through the use of better techniques (eg bcrypt).

So the solution is to run a second set of servers. Why would those be any better or differently secured?
The other advantage is having the same text editor on Windows, OS X and Linux. No more wishing you had TextMate in Windows, or Notepad++ in OS X.
> I tried SL2 and it quite happily ignored the fact that the file had changed.

Weird. I use Sublime Text 2 exclusively across all three platforms. Whenever an open file changes (e.g. I sync to Perforce), it pops up a modal dialog box when I bring that file's tab back into focus. If you're referring to a file that's changed in the background as you're actively editing it, I admit I haven't tried that.
I've had a good experience using ctags with ST2. Even on windows.
I searched "front end" and separately "UI" and the graphs are staggering -- for those searches it's nothing but boom time. I would expect similar results for "python" or "ruby"

Considering the massive API changes (out of process etc) with the API this should be an awesome plugin!
"When 3.0 is released, upgrades will be available for $30, or $15 for users who have purchased recently."

Why different prices based on when the purchase date?
Laughable?

There is a shortage. A capitalist believes that price solves supply issues. Are you not capitalist? Do you prefer a centralized planning, say from a gov't program to import people?

Yeah but this is Python 3, so not many will work with ST3.
Great tool thanks a lot for this! Some things I found while browsing on my iPad:

- Viewing this on an iPad and the third Q/A column is not on the same level as the rest of the columns and is pushed down.

- Titles are cutoff with no way of seeing the full title even if I click on the question.

- Title overlaps # viewed and # created.
Are these changes really worth the "3.0" tag? Goto to symbol is great, but all other bullet points taste like what I expected 2 to have once it left beta (basically, speed and not letting plugins crash my session).

Isn't this a clever way to make users buy into a paid upgrade for a stable version of an editor they already bought?
I'm pretty sure you are right, I don't remember it being $11 because I could have afforded that but $50 was harder to do at the time I was looking into it

misc quick random thoughts

I loved the intro. I've seen the Epic Win framing, but a friend I found who was using it ended up not turning it on to see all the things they were not epically winning at. This made me think of The Diamond Age.

I thought I'd gotten it wrong and that instead of my name, I was supposed to have entered a habit, think I misunderstood the text.

How do I undo task completion? Things got slightly confusing after entering three habits. I didn't realise I'd started one, then refreshed and completed it accidentally. The rotating green circle showing Done is nice, but erk, I am not worthy yet! Maybe similar and other-colour to show something is in progress?

(edit; I guess that Done Today relates to the growing of the plant? Apologies, I'm slightly confused. I'll leave it open and come back later.)

(edit2; got it started but not green now)

Even though it says done, I can't start another task. I check the first task, almost forgetting that I need to mouseover the figure and click (having to wait to mouseover to get the advice doesn't help, someone might not try that) to enter the task options. I can pause it there, then change. Doing that from the clock page would be one less hidden away click. Also, a transition to get into the task zone could help? If that stalk is going to grow as time goes by, make it pulse glow or something to gain intrigue?

One can enter items for future years. I see now I then choose to 'Set as Active Future Self'. I like that idea of context switching, the "future as existence in progress", but the UX/IA is not entirely intuitive yet. A way to jump between myselves from the panelled screen would be quicker.

How far might you looking to use the metaphors? "Story Mode" for the younger at heart? Golden thread and such could be worth using. Or a pool of suggested habits? Or questions that can be answered to help gain insight (and track past selves later on)? Or Oblique Strategies? Or an anonymously networked Half Bakery like spiders web that can be visited and interacted with.. And/or a dream diary?

Could a length of time be involved for some types of habit that require it? "'Do something for 35 minutes related to your _project work_!', suggests the Habbit to your Second Future Self, as you both stroll along the banks of time.."

Somehow suggest to users to bookmark and maybe pin the tab?

I am disappointed to see that Vintage mode hasn't really been touched at all for this edition. It's what is holding myself (and likely others) back from switching away from Vim. Unfortunately, development of Vintage mode seems to have stopped (the repository hasn't changed for about six months).
When I halted my evaluation of SL because of this issue I did send them feedback about it, but never got a response. I did have some other far lesser concerns like wasted space if you turned line number off.
Attention to detail when designing indie games
Long time VMware employee here.

While this is of course a sad event, it is not a reflection on the strength/weakness of VMware. Actually for a lot of my time here, we've had "carte blanche" in terms of hiring. The challenge was finding enough qualified people. I do think with the recent slew of acquisitions, the company may have grown too much too fast and is needing to reorganize hence this announcement.

From what I heard, the company is still planning to grow its headcount in 2013 from where it is today. It is also engaged in a massive expansion project which will triple the size of the campus in Palo Alto. It would not be undertaking such a massive and costly effort if a permanent downsize is being envisaged.
It was $59 and the price was increased by $11 to $70. I read it wrong at first too.
Have you checked out Crittercism? http://www.crittercism.com :)
I can't speak for this specific case, but when releasing software to others (open sourcing, licensing, etc) it's common to run the codebase through something like Black Duck. Everything that comes up as a false positive needs to be checked into and cleared. Everything that's a true positive must have its license read to ensure that any terms of its release are being met.

For software that's been released but doesn't have a clear license (e.g. some "Pull to refresh" implementation on Github) it's often necessary to ask the author to sign some form of "no, I really won't sue you" release.

If it's discovered that some license was inadvertently violated (e.g. attribution) then it can be necessary to send a mea culpa to the licensor so they're not incensed if someone points the violation out to them later.

(IANAL, but I have done this dance before).

Americans do that too, if you count New Englanders. :) I find it funny that Bostonians pronounce "Korea" and "career" close to swapped from the way I do.
I never truly attended high school either. So I guess it holds true.
With the upgrade to python, anyone relying heavily on packages is definitely have to upgrade. Not may package devs are going to want to maintain ST2 AND ST3 packages.
Even if it is, I am more than happy to put down another $30 for it. I get that much value from it daily.

Speaking as one of "they", I'd just like to point out that these are all generalizations. Not every highschool is full of students like those described above.
That's only because the GOP have decided not to cater to the vast majority and instead are held hostage by their tea partiers/religious right/corporatists.

Democrats have their share of right-wingedness, but also cater to marriage equality folk, minorities and progressives.

When Republicans give up on 47% of the electorate, it's a clear sign that, for them, voter suppression is more effective than registration.
I've volunteered at a large scale NPO for a number of years now holding exec positions at national and local boards. The one thing people don't understand about NPO is that non-profit doesn't mean no profit. The real difference is where the income comes from, where it goes, and how it's taxed. That's more or less it. The lash out from those who do not understand this point when you're trying to create a successful business without having to exploit sweat equity is completely frustrating.
This is unique. I have no idea how well it can convert or whether or not it will actually work and help users, but it is lovingly made and I hope you flush it out.

I think there is something here.
Yes, that what's I was describing. It works just fine. When I tab back to Sublime, I get the "<filename> has changed on disk. Do you want to reload it?" modal dialog box. (If there are no unsaved changes in the Sublime buffer that could be clobbered, it just reloads the file silently as you'd expect.)
I understand the perspective that operations and growth challenges for a nonprofit are generally the same, but there are some pretty huge differences too.

My own organization is a nonprofit startup. Our 501(c)(3) application took four and a half years in review. During that time we had no final status so rule out most foundational support and as a nonprofit there's no equity investment either. Essentially we had to scrape for what help we could find little by little without much to offer in return. Luckily we're in a high-profile space (music) so we could return enough PR while building.

The IRS eventually denied our application for status. It's not uncommon, especially in the open-source space, but luckily we now have a major law firm representing us pro bono, we hold credible domestic nonprofit status (at the state level) and we've build up enough of a reputation. We're still cut off from most grant-making, but we're finding ways to be creative.

My point is that the administration of the organization itself is no trivial matter, and it's especially difficult to carve out a space for yourself as a nonprofit if you don't fit a traditional nonprofit mold. (And innovation in the nonprofit space is vital — both in the models and the regulation. Sadly the latter lags behind.)

Not a complaint at all, but I'd definitely argue that the differences are many. And for nonprofit startups without a 501(c)(3) you're going to face a challenge, even if you're supported by a fiscal sponsor. It's similar waters for sure, but a whole different ocean.
Which ones have you tried? Vintage mode is most impressive considering it's so small (code-wise), but I don't find it particularly good at even the basics (a lot of commands have subtle behavioural differences).

It's better than IDEAVim, but certainly ViEmu and jVi are better. Maybe even Vrapper and XVim beat it too.

>Then Canonical has a second-rate Android platform, on which most people run apps that don't work so well, and they have zero control over the platform, so the vendors they are competing with can directly run them off the road.

Where do you get zero control? Android is licensed under GPL and Apache. The only way Google "controls" it at all is by funding its development. If Google goes in a direction Canonical doesn't like they can fork it at any time with the only cost that they have to fund all future development themselves, which is apparently what you want them to do from the start.

I wouldn't be surprised if we see a brain drain in the

Last time I distro hopped, Mint didn't offer expert mode for installation. So for me, one of the the "more technical", Mint was even an option.
Hence the words "trust" and "independent" -- you set it up so that it's totally out of your control. Then you can't withdraw it any more than you could prohibit the EFF from doing the same thing if they chose to.

Emulating Actors in C# with Async/Await
With a few basic JSON edits I was able to make Sublime look pretty sexy. Its spartan appearance matches it's utilitarian nature. I find it very comfortable and trusty. I agree that TextMate has the OS X polish that I too prefer but it's development has stagnated a bit in comparison. There is definitely a place for ST right in the middle of Vim and TextMate. Heck, if the Sublime guys could whip up a better Dock icon that'd go a long way.
I wouldn't argue that its "clever". Its a direct and honest way of asking people to pay for Sublime Text.

I'm happy to pay Jon as long as he keeps cranking out fast, high-quality software. Think of it as a subscription where you still own the software if you want to get out of it.
