I was asking myself the same question last week.

This link here will explain all that is going on with the development of sublime text as of july (2014).

http://www.sublimetext.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=16517

For those who are lazy and will not read the link here is some text taken from the page.

> Sublime Text is still in development. We haven't sold out to atom.io, Jon hasn't died, there has been no hostile takeover by TextWrangler. We dropped back down to one developer earlier this year, and because that developer is also the director of the company, speed of updates was sacrificed in exchange for business planning, applying for a new payment platform and a vacation. Being a bit of a perfectionist probably contributes to the dearth of feature adds.

> However, development is still active: when I spoke to Jon today he advised me that not only does he expect an update to the beta in August, he has also started mapping out some frameworks for version 4 which will help guide future development.

I think it's fair to say that Apple blocked flash.

They didn't implement flash in Safari, which is where you're right.

But they also disallowed any interpreter on iOS, so even if Adobe wanted to make a flash player on iOS (there was a rumored prototype), it wouldn't be allowed in the app store anyway.
are you sure? I just did it on release channel, developer mode turned off

Hi,

Sorry if you feel like that, i thought it was pretty straight forward no bullshit article.

You can't really compare these underground markets (That are actually markets, physically under the ground, many of them illegal and only for wholesale buyers) I'm talking about to the shopping malls in Hong Kong which are just flashy shopping malls that anyone can walk in to.

But sure yeah, you can buy things from Hong Kong, its safer, you likely won't get ripped off but at the same time your not going to get rich doing it.

Thanks for the feedback though.
Definitely agree about the quality of Hennessey and Patterson's Computer Architecture book.

I think the reason that the 32nm, 22nm and 14nm chips are identical from a consumer approach is because of two issues.

One is marketing - we no longer have convincing benchmarks that are as persuasive as the GHz a chip would support. It was a questionable metric anyway, but it now isn't being pursued (for a whole number of reasons).

The second is an application space problem - consumer applications are no longer exploiting CPU improvements in the same manner. That's partially because we now get more parallelism rather than single threaded speed, but it's partial a testament to the success of the previous generation as to the breadth of tasks a current PC will happily perform in a reasonable time frame.
It's getting much more common among places that care about getting good developers. I've implemented this practice myself where I'm involved in hiring, although when it occurs in the process has varied. It's always been after the initial phone screen, but before/after on-site has varied. I tend to prefer it after, e.g., phone screen, short on-site to suss out major compatibility issues, take-home drill(s), then longer on-site if the code passes muster.

You can find out a lot about how a person thinks about programming with exercises that take actual time. Twenty minutes with FizzBuzz (which I still get on occasion) doesn't speak towards anything beyond "can monkey type?"

I've made it a rule to provide fairly detailed feedback if I get to the point of giving someone an exercise. Not all places do that, and I think it's too bad. If someone goes to the trouble of spending their free time on this I feel I owe them at least some of mine.

Four Lessons Amazon Learned From Webvan's Flop
I am not sure that's true, at least in my personal experience. I have lower back pain and this pose, while it relieves the pain temporarily, only makes it worse in the long run. Arching the back like in this asana compresses the lower spine. So I don't think it will cure one's back pain.
So you don't want support for real foreign keys?
Hi, Sorry your not happy with this blog.

I was trying to give a real straight forward look at these markets.

The markets I'm talking about are underground in both senses of the word, if you look at the first pic you will see you actually have to go underground to get inside.

Maybe were talking about different places as there are certainly touristy malls similar to this but they are a waste of time for business use.

Thanks
Web Developer Povilas Korop: Don’t Stick to One Language or One Technology
We usually ask a candidate to built some toy application and describe his process rationale to use. But only after we had an actual interview. Depending on level of experience this will take him/her somewhere between 1 and 6 hours (if we suspect it will take longer we usually don't consider the candidate anymore).

Not really intended as a hiring criterium, more like a monitoring tool for actual experience, modus operandi, etc.
Development progress is too slow. In my opinion its no longer a priority project for the developer. Personally am going to move to IntelliJ (i know its an ide not editor) when the next version is out as that is better maintained.

I think its time sublime got open sourced. Developer can maybe charge for pro features but make the core of the product open source.

Ask HN: Should I pull the plug on my startup?
We launched our mvp a month ago to some fairly decent PR/success. Naturally, our growth has tapered off (we didn't put in place any growth hacks etc). We're getting about 25 users a day with no real marketing/PR (of which maybe <5 stick around as active users). People really like the idea of our app, it gets them excited. About 30% of users who visit our site try our product at least once. One of the struggles we have is our app is very general, lots of potential applications (from social to enterprise).

Should we keep kicking at the can? Is this just a Product/Market fit issue? How do I know if I should jump ship? What are key signals I should be looking for?

Note: We have about 10 months runway left. But we're quite lean.
When you strike a container at speed all bets are off, regardless of what material your boat is made of. You're in a catamaran, at least you have two hulls rather than just one. And it would appear that the part that is underwater is the most important bit when it comes to striking containers so I'm not sure why you think a titanium superstructure will help you if there is a gaping hole in your hull.
Yes, the time to update the computer every three years to keep up with the progress is now gone.

Maybe when we finally get to quantum computers a similar cycle will happen, but to the dismay of OEMs the cycle is gone.

Even mobiles already reached the same peak and are mostly driven by contract renewals nowadays, not features.
Or not. I think that the medium plays a very big part here. It's the essence of hacking, twisting something like Minecraft engine to run processors, and hard drives, and stuff. Doing the same on VHDL? Boring.

all holders of subdomains of those ccTLDs should pay collectively for the deeds of their country

That's the least problematic issue and yes, you're routinely expected to pay for deeds of some larger organization, your government in particular. Every time the government is sued and loses for example, you foot the bill.

This however has the potential of completely breaking routing of any global network. If they can seize IP addresses, domains, then why not phone prefixes.
>This is an excellent illustration of why ICANN should be replaced by a system that is distributed enough that nobody would ever think of even attempting to do something like this ever again.

Such as?

DNS is useful because it is authoritative. What would happen if two parts of this 'distributed' ICANN disagreed on something? Different parts of the internet would see a completely different state (e.g. who owns gov.uk?), Thus rendering DNS effectively useless.

The only alternative I could see to ICANN being a US organisation is for it to be given authority by treaty. And that would open up a whole other can of worms. ICANN run like the ITU?

Without knowing what industry you operate in - Except if making a commodity product/service and have a cost advantage to competition (i assume you are not) you need to price @ and consequentially sell value not cost.

My experience in selling value:
You need to:
1) Understand and quantify opportunity cost for client in not working with you (Difference in dollar amount profit for client between working with you and alternative options: 1)working with competitor, 2)using alternate solution for the same problem - status quo solution if your product/service involves an operational change)- the value of your product is that number: If positive be explicit about it.

2) Sell a relationship not a service/product ie: make the person in front of you feel better off in working with you than not through long term benefits. To do this understand their own KPIs other than profit (first point on that) and issues (time spent doing stuff they or their staff hate doing) in doing their job - make them understand that a relationship with you will make their job easier based on how you improve KPIs and/or eliminate issues in the long run.

Other points:
- Listen and adapt to every client - none two are the same - first question you should ask yourself: "Who do I have in front of me" - you will have a few dozens types of client behaviors not more - adapt accordingly to address points 1 and 2.

- Don't rush sales - understand the two points above very well and go through them with each of your clients patiently.

- Be in a position to walk away - do not allow one client to represent more that 30% of your business - if that happens seek to diversify client base fast. Very difficult to negotiate pricing with a client when they are aware of the fact that loosing their business will kill your treasury.

- Above all else, be empathic - people do business with people they like. All else being equal, a decider will always choose to buy from guy he feels he can have a beer with after work.

If ICANN loses this, they must immediately lose control of the root domain space and need to be suspended until they can be replaced - as the meeting is already convened to discuss - with either some kind of international organisation by treaty (iana.int?) or something related to the IETF.
One other point. Compare your product/service price to daily current expenditure of client " my product will cost less per day than what you spend on Coke (or other)for your team" - puts things into perspective.

First: I agree with everything the author's written about the pain of accessing published research. While it's worlds better than the situation was when I was in school (a quarter century ago, before the World Wide Web and long before Google), where you had to actually go to a library and photocopy articles, far too often the experience is (1) find something cool and relevant, then (2) get stymied by a paywall or registration requirement.

There are a few ways through this, of varying levels of conformance with statutes.

Using Mailinator.com's free disposable mail (there are a number of other domains it uses as well -- the primary one is frequently blocked at registrations sites) is great. I'll generally use a password generator to create a random mailbox name. This does still require going through registration processes. http://mailinator.com

LibraryGenesis is another option. It offers an index of books and articles, largely scientific, with a pretty good success rate. http://libgen.org

The subreddit /r/scholar can be used for requesting specific articles, again aimed at research. I've found it quite helpful. http://reddit.com/r/scholar

Google Scholar and Google Search are pretty good at turning up articles, though the format in which they're made available is often miserable. In particular, Google's online article reader is pants -- a tremendous disappointment considering the source. And frequently full text isn't available.

The Internet Archive / Archive.org is another site which frequently has full text of documents available, including, ironically, many sourced by Google and the result of its wholesale scanning projects. And unlike Google's reader, the Internet Archive's BookReader is wonderful (I've gushed over it before on HN). Frequently PDF and ASCII text are also available.

For older works, there may be a Project Gutenberg copy, though its archive is generally markedly smaller than TIA's.

And there are a slew of other resources, though being decentralized, you need to match up your specific needs with the resource in question. One good listing: https://plus.google.com/112064652966583500522/posts/87ez27zE...

There are a few tools for reporting instances in which you've found access to information denied. I don't have references offhand, but recall a Chrome browser plugin which was publicized a few months back for this purpose.
I understand your points and mostly agree with them, but there are valid situational counter-arguments for them too:

1) Except when you don't have the money. Not everyone trying to build a business goes the funded startup route...

2) Except when it does. There are (a small percentage of) businesses where speed does matter and caching everything is not an option. Think exchanges, ticket sales, real-time analytics off the top of my head.

3) Yes, you want to quickly iterate. Sometimes this means using readily implemented libraries for the non-core parts of your businesses. Sometimes it means avoiding readily implemented libraries that do not fit your requirements and/or overcomplicate what you are trying to do. Sometimes it means avoiding the cognitive overhead of all that cruft a framework has and you don't need. Sometimes it means using a typed language and letting a compiler do the most basic testing for you...

4) To me, this is a classical exploration/exploitation tradeoff. You will be less productive using anything new. New language, new framework, new ideas drag your productivity right now. But they may increase it in the long term, even if you end up going back to whatever you were using before. Find some budget to explore and make the most out of what you learned, but don't overspend on it.

Under Changes to Platform Policies:

You must not incentivize people to use social plugins or to like a Page. This includes offering rewards, or gating apps or app content based on whether or not a person has liked a Page. It remains acceptable to incentivize people to login to your app, checkin at a place or enter a promotion on your app's Page. To ensure quality connections and help businesses reach the people who matter to them, we want people to like Pages because they want to connect and hear from the business, not because of artificial incentives. We believe this update will benefit people and advertisers alike.

I'm very interested n how they intend to enforce this. Are they going to penalize pages? Kick them off? How could they enforce this?

Interesting, though I'm curious about whether this type of algorithm is state of the art for accuracy. At this time spell checkers are pretty much fast enough, but aren't always terribly good at suggesting replacements. I would imagine that systems based on n-grams are more effective.
Taking a look at the full-cycle EROEI is something I'd like to do, but haven't. It's not necessary for any given element of a power cycle to be EROEI-positive. In fact any given energy transform will represent a net energy loss. But for the total effective cycle you've got to get more than you give. Note that at present agriculture in the US represents a 10:1 energy cost -- you get 1 unit of energy for every ten units of fossil-fuel energy you input. In Europe it's about a 1:5 ratio. Again, negative EROEI. The saving grace is that fossil fuel energy has such a high EROEI.

On marginal cost of energy: if the alternative is to discard the generating potential entirely, then the marginal cost is zero. If you're building excess capacity specifically to provide fuel synthesis capabilities, you do have real costs. The US Naval Research Lab's estimate is $3-6/gallon for aviation fuel, though I'm not sure if they assume a gratis reactor. I've specced out $9/gallon with solar input. Not cheap, but a long-term stable price, vs. constantly rising fossil fuel costs.

As for input energy: my assumption is generally for solar + wind -- they're simply the largest available long-term sustainable energy sources we've got (I've got my doubts on how long nuclear fuel will last, and terrestrial fusion's still unproven). The initial scheme for large-scale F-T synthesis was based on a presumption of nuclear energy input. M. King Hubbert proposed this in 1964, and the idea was picked up by Meyer Steinberg of BNL pretty much immediately. The initial proposal was that CO2 come from, e.g., limestone, but seawater was identified as a reservoir pretty early on. Steinberg's a nuclear engineer, and most of his work assumes nuclear power supplying electricity.

Incidentally: in a nuclear economy, you'd still need liquid fuels, though most proposals focus on hydrogen alone. Given difficulties with its chemistry, I doubt this will prove effective.

Compared with alternatives, I really see solar as the backbone of any future energy system. The only questions are how large the supported population will be, and how advanced its technology. Solar energy is what humans relied on before finding fossil fuels. And there's no assurance that we'll retain our present tech levels.

Nuclear's problems are not merely political, though that's a significant hurdle of its own.
The truth about the Ice Bucket Challenge
how are those not characters? :D
Disagree on the causes. We're limited by mobile energy storage.

Desktops are as powerful as anyone needs - largely because you just buy the appropriate size - at least at the consumer level.

Laptops, phones? Definitely not. But the push for more isn't being limited by our performance, it's being limited by energy demands. I'm shopping for a new laptop at the moment, and my overriding requirement is to get the most WHr's of battery into a low energy configuration.

And even there, to some extent the problem is also not where you'd think - you can take a modern i5 down to something like 1.5W idle consumption. Most of the losses are switching circuits or the screen.
Plus kqueue gives you ways to wait for other events (timeouts, signals etc), and epoll+other linux specific calls does too. This simplifies your code a lot.
