Does the project have to be open source?

My company currently is using Go to monitor and respond to events on hundreds of thousands of RabbitMQ message queues. We create a goroutine for handling each queue, and Go handles all of the concurrency and threading in the runtime while avoiding the resource overhead of standard threads. All of this is done in an application that took about 6 hours to write.

It really made a difference in our experience.

Love Dash (and own a license), but there was sadly some controversy regarding their new icon and "inspiration" recently. Will try and find a link...

Edit: so the old Dash icon was a free icon from http://www.yootheme.com/icons/freebies (the cat one). Recently this icon was replaced with a custom one, which makes sense, except the new Dash icon seems to be heavily "inspired" by somebody else's work -- http://dribbble.com/shots/913643-Chrome-replacement-icon

See the comparison here: http://twitpic.com/ciu8a7

Relevant tweets:

[Icon designer]

https://twitter.com/wakaba_en/status/328075341618892800

Seems like the Dash dev disagrees with the icon author on where the line between "inspiration" and "plagiarism" lies. It doesn't help that there's a language barrier between the icon author and Dash developer.

Icon designer even proposed an alternative icon:

But sadly it seems like this issue hasn't been rectified, but has just been forgotten about. I only found out about this after I'd bought a license; I'm posting this here in case someone else finds it relevant to their purchasing decisions.

> I keep hearing this from non-Americans. And while I respect it, I always wonder what country they come from that apparently makes no legal distinction between its own citizens and anyone else

Not all countries have Guantanamo. Most won't allow foreigners to be imprisoned indefinitely without charges. Heck, in my country (Brazil), foreigners are usually treated better than citizens, even when charged with a crime. Despite the low rate of conviction, crimes against foreigners draw more attention from the justice system. The legal protections for foreigners are that strong, and Itamaraty (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Itamaraty) enforces them. If you are living here (even temporarily), you hold all the rights that citizens have, minus some things (like the obligation to vote).

> and which apparently has no intelligence service at all...

Not as extensive as the US system, but that's to be expected.

At some point it might be necessary to make a distinction between citizens and foreigners, but only when it matters.

I use vim and reasonably happy with it, but honestly 70$ is little more than a new console game, or a dinner for two in a decent restaurant... we are not really talking about a license for Photoshop or professional CAD software.

If you are a professional developer living in a reasonably modern country and cannot afford 70$ for what is supposed to be to be your primary tool, then you are not underpaid, you are being scammed.

That the features it offers are not worth 70$ compared to free editors is another matter entirely, and a purely personal matter.

(At least, in Sublime Text 2)
I use Sublime Text every day. I love it. I paid for it. I even develop plugins for it.[1] But I don't recommend it to peers. Why? Because Sublime Text has a low bus factor.[2]

6 years ago, I bought TextMate. Like Sublime Text, I enjoyed using it. Sadly, TextMate became abandonware. The sole developer suffered burnout. Bugs were never fixed. Promised features never showed up. Users wanted to fix these issues themselves. They begged the developer to release the source code, but it never happened. TM 2.0 was open-sourced, but TM 1.5 remains proprietary.

Developers marry their editors. They spend years learning every aspect of them. They customize their configuration. They install and develop plugins and extensions. If an editor becomes abandonware, the users of that editor have wasted an immense amount of time. All of their knowledge and work surrounding their editor becomes useless. They're forced to start over with something else.

All that said, I would recommend Sublime Text to others if the developer made an anti-abandonware pledge. The pledge would be to release the source code if no new version had been released in more than a year. I realize he has to make a living. Heck, I don't mind if he gets filthy rich from selling Sublime Text. I'm simply worried that despite his good intentions, he'll end up hurting his users in the long run. With an anti-abandonware pledge, users would be able to avoid the fate of TextMate users.

You need a short term strategy (any job!) and a long term strategy(spacex, baby!). I suspect spaceX or NASA programmers aren't using Ruby, Rails, and JS. They are a good place to start, get a nice paying job, and then figure out what it would take to get a spaceX or NASA job.

The answer to all of the above is: 'Don't upgrade'. As it stands ST is an excellent editor with a rich plugin system around it, even if the dev decides to call it a day it's unlikely it's going to stop working in the next 2-5 years, and additional features can be introduced via the plugin system.

I do understand the concern though, but for a lot of people (myself included) ST is a better solution than a non-proprietary solution.

Also, why hasn't D-Wave come forward and explained their process to put those critics to rest? Is it just a matter of trade secrets (ie they want to retain their monopoly)? If that's the case, I thought that was one of the few credible reasons for patents.

I really get the feeling that I'm too stupid to grasp all this properly :(

> I would bet good money they already have working quantum computers, in which case current crypto may have quite a few problems.

Both statements in that sentence are ridiculous. Do you also wear a tin foil hat while having such thoughts?

First, quantum computing is one of those fields for which you need the brightest minds to solve it. Government jobs may still be attractive for researchers, but if they need to keep such developments a secret, it means they have to limit themselves to the people they can actually hire. This means their talent pool will be more limited than that of a company like Google, or a university like MIT, organizations that can always collaborate with whomever they want in the open, including foreign companies and universities. For building a practical quantum computer, they can have big budgets too, given that companies like Google are interested in machine learning, not to mention the pool of investors that would be dying to be a part of the next revolution. Some of the brightest minds we have worked on quantum computing already, in the open. The idea that a single country's government would be able to do a better job, in secret, is preposterous.

Second, quantum computing doesn't solve P = NP. The difficulty of brute-forcing AES-256 is only reduced to that of AES-128. It is something, but not much and that's only speaking about asymptotic complexity. Going from a feeble experiment in building a quantum computer to building farms of such computers to run distributed algorithms on them - well, I can assure you that farms of commodity hardware with capable GPUs will be used instead for a really long time.
I'm curious. With all the railing around Flash and its obsolescence, is Silverlight destined to go the same route?

I don't think your example contradicts this article vey much. Your program already had a relatively high price (compared with most items in the app stores), and it will obviously always be point where an increased price will hurt sales. The article was directed to those that priced their software peanuts, like $2, and should raise their price to $10 or $20.
I just realized my earlier comment on the WSJ being misleading did not really clear.

He has the facts right but, to get published in the WSJ, he can't point at the real issue. It is same problems we have the with banks. These institutions have tons of hidden subsidies. They always will. Subsidized industries behave differently from non-subsidized ones in general but the WSJ approved solution is to pretend that it is possible to remove the subsidy.

For public goods (utilities, parts of finance, education), you have to have government intervention and deal with the side-effects. That means regulation and rules about what you do with the money.

I don't think the author would disagree when I say that the administrator are stealing from the taxpayers. But what is 'bullshit' is saying that we just have to accept it. When people are stealing from you, you deal with it head on. If they were employees, you would fire them.

I don't have a great answer for colleges but you need to at least let the administrators know that they are acting immorally. It is not the loan process that is immoral -- it is the people who are running the colleges.

I'm in the same boat. I've used vim for a while now and I'm faster at a couple of small things. So much so that Sublime feels slower to me. (Having to take my hand off the mouse to do a two handed key combo. Or having to move my hands too far from the home keys to do a key combo.)

I spent some time last year using Sublime Text 2. [1] But I didn't get very far before I switched back to vim. My guess is that I'll have to unlearn my vim-ism or go all-in on vim and spend time practicing the more esoteric commands until they become second nature.

Sublime once had genuinely amazing support. The solution to scaling that with the product's popularity has apparently been to drop it on the floor. Expect bug reports to go unanswered for months.
The trouble is, being rich already is a sustainable business model. If you have a tool where the only developer(s) working on it have made enough money that they don't need to continue running it commercially and have no personal interest in building more than they already have, paid upgrades are no guarantee of anything from a user's point of view.

As a counterpoint, as long as the version you already have is useful, and as long as it's a permanent copy that is not going to just stop working if the supplier takes their ball and goes home (I'm looking at you, Adobe), all you're risking is not having improvements that you were never guaranteed anyway. If the current version is better for you than whatever else you could have used instead, it's probably still worth buying it even with no future-proofing, IMHO.

There's an interesting connection between the roots of quadratic equations and Fibonacci-like sequences that is applicable to this problem. Let r and s be the roots of x^2 - ax - b, and let c[n] = (r^n - s^n)/(r - s).

Then c[n] satisfies the recursion c[n] = a c[n-1] + b c[n-2].

For instance, if a = b = 1, then that sequence is the Fibonacci sequence, and the quadratic is x^2 - x - 1. r is then the golden ratio, s is -1/r, and (r^n - s^n)/(r-s) is the famous Binet formula for the n'th Fibonacci number.

This applies directly to the ITT problem, giving the recurrence a_{n} = 6 a_{n-1} + 2 a_{n-2} for the a_{n} sequence from the problem, which in turn readily yields the answer.
Building queries dynamically is the intended use case. This wasn't designed as a replacement for plain SQL.

I took "more intelligent users" to actually mean "more informed users", which I don't find offensive at all. Since they lead to less support queries.

And as for less support queries, this isn't snobby...this is just straight economics. Any developer with business sense should be looking to minimize support queries by any profitable means necessary.

The big melt was the end of the last ice age. That's far larger than anything that has yet happened due to climate change, so they're not really talking about ice that has been melted by global warming in the sense of post-industrial climate change.

I'm not trying to dismiss the discussion, in general. HN really isn't a good site to debate issues. Besides, I don't think people want to debate. Seems like they're just blowing off steam.
It seems to have been a victim of its own success. In the run up to the final ST2 release, we saw a string of new releases showing often subtle but useful improvements (and breaking a couple of things irritatingly as well). After the ST2 release, that stream of improvements just seemed to dry up, and now it turns out a paid upgrade model is being used. I don't mind that for new features, but for obvious bugs, in a premium product (which any text editor that costs real money is, given the competition), that got-your-money-now attitude does grate. This remains true even if the amount of money itself is small and it was an easy decision to buy it in the first place (and would be for the upgrade, if I had any confidence it wouldn't go the same way, which I no longer do).
Using simplistic philosophical bases for one's beliefs

Whoa there - why do you call what I've written "simplistic"?

But it's cute you two believe you have any grasp of epistemology, rhetoric, or logic.

And of course, that is the point. None of these things were earned.

That wasn't my point. Let me put it another way: it is not valid to apply the concept of "earn" as you do, in a situation where no choice exists. You can't say that a person has earned his brain, nor can you say that he hasn't. I've already explained why. This is not some minor epistemological issue that I'm going to simply let pass.

But it's cute you two believe you have any grasp of epistemology, rhetoric, or logic.
