I agree with you a hundred percent. I paid for ST2, and waited for ST3 to get out of beta for ages. After seeing the project halt for a year I made the jump to Emacs. And I can't be happier, I'm able to use the same editor in three different platforms and use the same init.el for all of them. Also I'm able to edit files in a remote server without having to replicate the files locally as ST does.

About the company: Founded in 2012 and located in San Francisco in the Design District, Stanza is a smart calendar company... without an app. Our smart Add-to-Calendar button powers calendar subscriptions for over 5000 publishers. We work with most major sports teams (NFL, NBA, NHL, NCAA) and broadcasters (ESPN, SiriusXM). In the past year, over 70M events have been synced to 2M users' calendars.

I'm happy to answer any questions at smita@stanza.co
I also have no problem with this and never understood the issue.

Certainly if being a 1099 contractor for Uber (for example) wasn't the best option for someone, they simply wouldn't do it, right? No one is forcing anyone to be a contractor so the arguments against it from the perspective of the contractor seems odd.

People will take the best employment option that works for them. If it's the difference between being a W2 McDonnald's employee or a on-demand 1099 driver, I'd take the 1099 as well.
Dylan's approach works because it has lisp at its core.
Thanks for the clarification! I understand that you got rid of the "trampoline"/dispatch code for calling methods by rewriting the respective bytecode at runtime. But you still need to register file descriptors and such with some rubah runtime code, and that piece of rubah runtime code doesn't get replaced on process upgrade, right?

I guess this really doesn't matter from the user's point of view, just for the sake of curiosity, want to work out that/if there seems to be a fundamental difference (FWIW) between what rubah is doing which I understand as "hot patch the code within the running process and have some kind of 'trampoline'/dispatch code within that process to switch between new and old version, regardless if it is actual explicit code or just implicit in the rewritten bytecode, but never actually leave that original process" vs. what you'd do in native code on linux which is more like "tell the kernel to start a proper new process and then pass all open fd's and programm state to the new process" (which obviously requires that process to be written in a way that allows it to "continue where it left off") --- and the latter is not possible to do when running on the stock jvm if I understand correctly, because the jvm doesn't allow you to implement the part where you pass the filedescriptors, right?

I brought up the topic of raise with one of my previous bosses, and he promised to check with the higher-ups.

Some time later, he honestly told me: "The only way they would give you a raise is to prevent you from leaving. At that point, if you already went through the trouble of getting another offer, you might as well leave." Several months later, I did. Money wasn't the only factor -- the big new project I was hired for got finished -- but it was a major one, they were underpaying me pretty badly.
Title makes it sound like he took 52 different kinds of drugs at once!

If you're interested in using F# for testing, you may be interested in this Mark Seemann lecture about TDD in F#, turns out it's well suited for writing unit tests, even unit tests for other .NET languages:

http://www.infoq.com/presentations/mock-fsharp-tdd

Mark Seemann also has a F# Unit Testing course on Pluralsight if you're interested in applying this in practice (Pluralsight is awesome by the way, it's not free but if your company can afford it I can definitely recommend it, especially if you use Microsoft products in your tech stack):

The lack of ports (notably ethernet) is minorly annoying to me, but much worse than that is the totally inadequate cooling. My 2013 15" MBP quickly overheats and thermally throttles when compiling. Maxing the fans doesn't help much -- there are only tiny slits for air intakes.
That's all well and good, but when both major political parties want lots of taxes, they just want to spend it on "defense" or "social welfare programs", what do you do? It doesn't seem like this will change anytime soon without massive political upheaval.
Zuckerberg Backpedals on Facebook's Real Name Policy
I can't find it now, but I once read an interesting bit comparing Gandalf to a ranking officer- knowing far more about the big picture than any private, always disappearing to tackle other bigger problems, and swooping in with overwhelming support to turn the tide at the last moment when circumstances look dire for the foot soldiers.
Unsure feelings when one of the first topics a community brings up about you is how you might need to be "re-educated".

This comes up every few days, but almost never with specific links, and it's hard to address concerns without examples.

Bad downvotes are a thing, but so is the temptation for commenters to interpret downvotes as 'groupthink suppression of my independent thought' instead of seeing what might have been bad about what they posted.
Ask HN: What are the most interesting online courses?
Online training were geared towards teaching programming languages. The reason for this was - easier understanding of what to include.

Then there were videos/courses on specific topics like "Using R". While a good resource on any one starting to learn Data Science, it wasn't enough. People had to ask questions in forums like HN, to know what course to do next.

Then came specializations and nanodegrees from Coursera and Udacity (though I think those are mostly being used because the word "course" is already overused for singular topic series). These tried to answer in part - What next? Or how do I learn Digital Marketing, end to end.

Then there are people like Laurie Pickard, who have put together a MBA "course" using free resources (www.nopaymba.com). For me this is quite interesting because this delves into something new. The specializations and nanodegrees were still more technically oriented, while this not.

So I am wondering what are other interesting courses/specializations/nanodegrees you have seen.
Not in the mood to post my resume here. You may guess or lookup. But if WP is such a big burden for you, why not move to something else.. if it's your main job, hope it allows you to move on.
Yeah. During a big Moscone event in late August, there are "cheap" hotels at the airport that were over $400 as of a month ago and very ordinary business hotels near the Moscone and Union Square were in the $500-$600 range when they had rooms available at all.

My personal sense is that San Francisco has gotten more expensive than New York or London. It obviously depends on what's happening at the time and where you're staying but I find with a little searching I can usually dig up reasonable-ish rates in New York and London. In San Francisco, if there's a big Moscone event (which tends to be when I travel there), it's hard to find much even on the other side of town.

Just wanted to repeat that, because it's how I feel as well. It's why I consider his writing to be among the best I've ever read; not because of the hyper-literacy (although that's pretty fun too), but because of the level of insight effectively shared.

Not when all the news is just "content" to try to get you to look at ads. What company wants their product spots running during reports on something intent on upsetting their economic power? News does not exist to report the truth anymore.
I'm quite stumped at the backlash against only rendering into the DOM and not sending down rendered HTML... Also, as for people who disable JS... Very bluntly: fuck them.

Are there security concerns at running JS? Sure, but you can't take away a HUGE building block of the web and expect everything to just work. It would be like taking away C from your computer, the whole thing comes crashing down. This and frameworks like this are normally for building interactive interfaces and/or full web apps which (let's all say this together) ARE NOT POSSIBLE WITHOUT JAVASCRIPT. PERIOD. The web is a constantly moving target and if frameworks like this break accessibility then maybe accessibility tools need to be re-written/updated to handle client-side rendering (which is where the web is largely going, optionally with an initial render on the server side).

If we are talking about a blog then sure, needing JS is just stupid, my blog works just fine with or without JS but if I'm building a web app there is no way I can reasonably deliver both a cutting edge JS web app AND a static, submit-the-page-to-do-anything app. If you think that's an easy thing to do then you've either never done it or the web app your were working on didn't deserve to be called a web app. I hear this shit from people all the time about how you "don't need JS"... Sure you don't need JS just like you don't need users which is where you will be if you deliver a shitty non-interactive website.

TL;DR: People not using JS are simply not worth the effort to support and if screen readers can't handle JS client-side rendering it's the readers then need to change not the web. It's simply unreasonable to expect all web developers to account for every single edge case. Taking away JS is taking away one of the building blocks of the web and is a BAD idea.

IRS guidance on worker classification in the limousine industry:

[pdf] http://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-utl/limo.pdf

I think the Ninth Circuit laid the smack down on FedEx for them classifying their drivers as contractors in a decision last year.

Classifying people and their labor gets complex.
Wallace was also intensely smart. To kill yourself as such an intelligent person is to be an implicit advocate for suicide. It is, inherently, a selfish move, and it is very unlikely he would not have recognized that.

I have struggled with similar issues my whole life. It is right to empathize with his depression, but it is just as disrespectful (in my opinion) to prescribe any thoughts to his suicide. Everyone experiences different aspects of depression and he was no different. In his world, the lack of opportunity or interest may have literally killed him.

I think it says much more about you to say that this judgement is unnecessarily harsh. Franzen undoubtedly loved his friend, even if they had a strange relationship through their passion for writing and Americans. I truly believe that this is, at least in part, Franzen's effort to pay respects to his friend.
>I believe the argument for open source is that the community can continue to maintain the software long past when the creator stops

We've seen this fail to be so in practice time and again, if not for the software entirely (which also happens), then for less popular ports, like for OS X and Windows.
* No GNU/Linux version

* No information whatsoever; not even some screenshots or something

* I suspect this won't be open-sourced

Dead in the water for me, especially if the third point ends up being reality.

I think it happens for different reasons though.

With medicine it boils down to a dismissal of folk remedies as placebo.

But with computing its because the old ways were developed on mainframes and minicomputers in an environment that current generation may only have heard stories about.

This because the micro-computer era was pretty much a mental reboot for computing, as little if any software crossed over (until fairly recently).
>I paid for ST2, and waited for ST3 to get out of beta for ages.

I, on the other hand paid for ST2, and have been using ST3 since the first dev builds. Never had any problem, except some small glitch which was fixed in an update 1 or 2 days ago.

UPDATE: On OS X (always with latest stable OS X release), and using SublimeLinter (Python, PHP, JS), GoSublime, Vintageous, a plugin that shows repo changes next to line numbers, and several other plugs. YMMV in other platforms / plugins.

Suicide as a consequence of diagnosed clinical depression is no more "a selfish move" than the fatal stroke that concludes a bout with metastatic cancer.
Maybe, but when I see hit pieces (lets just admit this is what the article is) on social media, I just see a lot of uncritical reflexive knee-jerking. "Yes, of course he was terrible! Thank you current .com tastemakers for telling me this! Christ, how did anyone like this person before you opened my eyes?" It always reminds me of crowds at the town hall in the Simpsons who are 100% swayed by every speaker at the podium. Luckily, Lisa speaks last as the voice of reason. On the web, that's rarely the case.

The rewriting of history and the political correctness polarization is so out of control, I'm not even sure we see it anymore. Thomas Edison is the millenials version of Stalin for no other reason than him being a successful businessman while the cult-favorite failed at his own, just as evil/greedy/stupid/cheap business. Or how autocratic states are so wonderful and democracy so terrible because it would be un-PC and racist to admit that the Chinese, Iranians, or Russians have significant problems themselves.

This stuff wouldn't be so bad, but once you toss in an up/down vote mechanism, the cream doesn't often float to the top. Its like lowest common denominator crap that does and if you browse this article without reading DFW's work or watching some interviews, you'd just shrug and agree he was a terrible person on some kind of moralist crusade to build himself up as some kind of guru superstar, when he was very, very far from that.
The simplest answer is many other CMSes try to solve the wrong problems. Many to try scratch the itch of a dogmatic programmer instead of a content generator. In the end, most end users aren't programmers.
