I emailed SublimeText offices a long time ago to push the concept of crowdsourcing the open sourcing of the project. It was blown out of the water.

I should imagine that even if they set a high goal, they'd do pretty well out of it. I'd happily pay a premium price to see the source released permissively (free software approved, ideally).
I'd love to know how many of their users are on Linux, especially when broken down by activity levels.
I'm really curious where these numbers come from. I've found NYC always way more expensive than SF. Similarly London is hugely expensive. I'm wondering it there's either a bias in the way I search and look (booking.com) or whether there's some other explanation like a few super expensive places raising the price.

As an example I just put in Oct 11, 2015.

SF:

21 hotels $55-$110
36 hotels $110-$160
55 hotels $160-$220
123 hotels $220+

NYC:

4 hotels $55-$110
7 hotels $110-$160
35 hotels $160-$220
367 hotels $220+

I'm a full stack software engineer (mostly back-end experience) coming from a very strong background of developing QA Automation. I've helped develop, support, as well as design web automation frameworks for my previous companies, but I am shifting to client-facing software engineering roles.

I'm a fast learner, early adopter, and most comfortable of my tech comfort zone. Seeking the right company or client for contract, full time, and time roles.

Ask HN: Job offer only lists shares that I'd receive, how much are they worth?
I just received a job offer for a senior engineering position at a fairly early (working on series B) startup. For the equity (stock) they only list the number of shares I will receive, the cliff, and vesting schedule.

How am I supposed to know the value of the shares? Should I ask them to disclose the total shares float, and what percentage of the total shares my equity is?
This is super cool. And I see the reasoning for the systems Erlang is designed for. What I wonder is whether this kind of thing is really necessary for most web architectures?

UserTesting | Mountain View, SF | VISA | ONSITE
Come make the web a better place! UserTesting.com is the premier usability-testing-as-a-service and is used by over 30,000 companies, including the top-10 web properties. We are a team of ~20 engineers.

We're looking for DevOps engineers who have the mindset of a good developer (keeping things simple, reducing coupling, averse to all things “fiddly” etc) who also enjoy building automated, stable, scalable infrastructure. You should be enthusiastic about fostering DevOps culture amongst our engineering teams and helping developers help themselves. AWS/OpsWorks/Chef experience is ++. You will be defining our systems and leading our DevOps efforts.

Also looking for senior engineers to iterate on our Rails/Angular/Grape/MySQL/Redis stack, or those interested in managing engineering teams. Backend candidates should have good architectural design sense and be interested in contributing to DevOps work. Frontend candidates should be comfortable working in JS frameworks such as Angular, and have an eye for design. Manager candidates should have a Servant Leadership attitude.

We pride ourselves on keeping things simple and being NICE - there are no egos here. "We're a team of leaders" in the sense that each engineer is expected to take stories from start to running on prod with little/no oversight. We have huge clients and hence are obsessed in ensuring good customer experiences!

Interested? Apply here: https://jobs.lever.co/usertesting/
If you have more questions about our culture, day-to-day, etc, I'd be happy to answer: suan at usertesting dot com
I believe the argument for open source is that the community can continue to maintain the software long past when the creator stops (for whatever reason). Responsible maintainers will often seek new developers from the community to take charge (as is the case with marginalia[0], the first project that came to mind). Of course this isn't the only reason why folks want ST to be open source, but I believe this addresses your point about abandoning closed source software.

How is this for practical:

Update box, get systemd, fail to boot because of a fstab entry you barely remember was there that was acceptable to mount for years, but systemd stops the boot dead on.

Or stall on reboot/shutdown because they still can't get straight that NFS is a mount over the network, and so needs to be unmounted before taking the network down.

their DNS client that quietly grew a cache was found to be susceptible to cache poisoning. A issue that has been known about and protected against for a decade by more mature DNS implementations.

And i think their dhcp client (yep, it has that to) ignores a bunch of best practices/security in the name of speed.

The whole edifice is a NIH of cards.

This even though the project leadership is supposedly very keen on security...
If I'm understanding your comment, you're saying that it would be easy to detect the person with the antenna by doing some triangulation.

But this would still require authorities on the ground, and aware that you're using a setup such as this.

This isn't a silver bullet, it's just another layer of protection.
> Wordpress is terrible

That's open to debate. I have 3 websites running on Wordpress, I don't have the intent to use anything else. It's simple and comes with batteries attached, especially for people who aren't hacking the code themselves. The plugins/themes are a big plus and so is the community. In what way is it terrible? Have you used it enough?

> CMS as a whole is bad

No. CMSes serve a purpose and serve it well. Btw, TechCrunch, Fortune.com run on Wordpress too.

> Why has no one built a better one?

There are a lot of other CMSes. Different names of course, Drupal, Joomla, Django-CMS. Different languages too.

> Why lack of traction?

There's enough traction... Updates to the core/themes/plugins are frequent. There are a lot of performance updates coming up, along with PHP7 and HHVM, which will speed things in general.
How about backend side?
CloudGear (cloudgear.net) | Rails Software Engineer | Part Time | REMOTE

We are looking for a Ruby/Rails developer (60 - 100%) to support us with our projects at our start up. Technologies used are Rails, PostgreSQL, Redis, Go, Docker, Consul. You should be an experienced Ruby programmer with a strong interest in PaaS, DevOps and infrastructure automation. We are working on a product and have interesting challenges ahead. You will work together with the founder: starting with stories, to architecture and the final implementation and with a high impact on the product, too.

Location doesn't really matter but preferable in a similar time zone. We are based in Europe.
Please let me know if you're interested in working with us: georg (at) cloudgear.net - https://www.cloudgear.net
You'll want to know percentage of company, and if they've got a valuation of the company already what that value is. Unlikely if they're "fairly early" that they know their valuation, so ask them for their projected valuation at the key stages. If they're offering equity, that's lovely. But that means that they have to pull back the curtain a little bit so you know what it all means.

It's strange. Swift promises so much in terms of performance. But it's still not really clear why it's under-delivering. Better method dispatch is exactly the sort of thing that should move it way beyond Obj-C...

> and is starting to be adopted by some big names

Uh who? About every other editor and IDE under the sun is leagues ahead of Atom. Honestly an editor based around a freaking browser is already too heavy for usage. No, I don't want to use a browser engine to run my editing environment, and a ton of "big names" are not picking up Atom at all.

Going to need to see some citations, not downvotes Hacker News. I don't care if it's the "hip new editor", being made by GitHub is not enough.
The uhm is unnecessary; I don't see any screenshots on the GitHub page, linked or otherwise. The page linked from the website is https://github.com/mattermost/platform.

For third-party services, I'm talking about things that matter for getting work done. For example, issue trackers like JIRA.

It was, but the problem is that the term has been picked up by clueless masses who are unable to realize that searching for a unicorn is by definition a doomed process, much like how "Born in the U.S.A." is now obliviously played at rallies by political candidates to clueless to realize it's a song about how ordinary people get screwed over by politicians.
SF jumped 88% in one year according to these stats. That seems odd to me. Maybe since they only look at two weeks, and fairly far out, something messed up the stats.
... because it is fun? Because it pre-dates the "WoW" model, which most newer MMORPGs want to follow?

I mean, it didn't have levels. It didn't have XP. It had skills, which increased with use. Your health could increase via attributes, but not that much.

In the end, after a few days, there wasn't that much difference between your character and people playing for a year. In the best case, maybe they would have 50% more health? And could cast more powerful spells, if they had Magery. But so could you - as a newbie mage, your spells had a high failure chance (and would consume reagents regardless), but you could cast almost all of them.

Which means that an older player couldn't just walk in and start murdering an unlimited number of newbies without any effort. If the newbies banded together, they would have a decent shot. The biggest differential was actual player skill (and game knowledge). Also, preparation.

In WoW and the like, if they even allowed PVP, a max level character can easily have a thousand times more HP than a first level character, incredibly better equipment and skills. You could take the whole level 1 population against him and they would lose. Badly.

In UO (pre-Trammel), it was very likely that anyone you encountered wouldn't even have "magic" weaponry. If they had, it was probably a low level one. This is because everything (save a few items considered 'newbie') would drop to the ground when you died. So you wouldn't take that +9 sword with you, unless you felt somewhat safe (playing with a group of friends, for instance).

Losing items also meant an economy, albeit a weak one compared to, say, Eve Online. Items had to be replaced, after all.

There were also other gameplay options that are missing from newer games. Such as pickpocketing. Distract the attention of the mage guy you just met in a dungeon, steal the reagents, then watch their now complete lack of spell casting ability. Just hope he is a pure mage and can't hit you with anything else (possible, due to the skillcap, not guaranteed, due to the complete lack of anything resembling a "character class"[1])

Even things like "Animal Taming" required thought. Taming a dragon? Well, better have a way to keep it from hitting you, otherwise you'll be dead in a short order. In a hostile dungeon. And he could eat your stuff. Tamed it? Cool, remember to feed it, otherwise it will turn on you and you will die. Dragon dead? Well, time to tame another one then [2]

Hell, what other games require you to have a skill in order to speak with dead players? :)

[1] Debatable now, as some of the newer skills require a few others to complement, making it some sort of class.

[2] There was a concept of "bonding" with the animal. Required that you kept it for a week (real-time). Then you could resurrect it when it died - if you had the skill. If not, time to find a veterinarian...
This is similar to how Elliot Smith died. He was getting off his medications for whatever reason. Apparently, he was also getting off booze, red meat, sugar, etc and I guess was trying to live a more "natural" life.

There's probably something to be said about how we handle weening off drugs or switching drugs for the depressed. Suicide becomes a real risk during these periods. Its no more romantic or meaningful than this. Withdrawal and being without a drug that keeps depression away leads to bad things sometimes. Apparently, an artist can't even die without his or her death being seen as an artistic statement or part of the 'suffering' of being a creative person.

"He died because of low serotonin leading to suicide," doesn't sell a lot of ad impressions I guess.
Yep, lets appeal to authority...

Facebook's tool built ontop of Atom: Nuclide[0].

What I loved was the crazy dynamic of it all.

- A blacksmith can be a feared person in a given area because anyone messing with him can become target for massive assault by entire communities. Because it turns out this blacksmith would craft and mine in his spare time for r&r and just give free stuff to these guilds just because.

- A guild siege can last a month trying to work 24/7 to destroy someone's property. It wasn't easy, but doable.

- A friend was unfortunately banned for scamming people in town by pretending to be under attack, followed by having the other guy slaughtered by his dragon. It was loads of fun. Yes yes we were assholes, but it was fun assholeness.

- It was the EVE online before EVE. Definitely "place to build" was a rare commodity, unlike EVE.

- Unlike EVE you can just have fun no matter what you did. You didn't have to travel for 2 hours to get somewhere interesting. And building a character from scratch took a few days at most.

Amazon | AmazonUI (AUI) | Seattle; San Francisco | Onsite | Full-Time

AUI is the Front-end platform being adopted on Amazon.com. We are modernizing the company's front end code base, while diving deep on latency, performance, API design, user experience, and cross browser/device compatibility. Basically, we need people who can build libraries, not just use them.

Our team is incredibly customer-centric. For any given situation, we have to make the right choice on behalf of the folks using our platform -- and we have to do it at scale. That may sound cliche, but within the next hour AUI will be used to generate tens of millions of page views. And that's just in the US. Worldwide, we're used on about 90% of requests across all device categories.

It's a lot of responsibility, but also a lot of opportunity. For example, we can run experiments that change almost every page on Amazon.com. We can also impact the page load time for the entire site. Have you ever tried to figure out why your site is 6ms slower? We have.

We use these tools (but don't expect you to know all of them): HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Ruby, Java, Perl, Git

And to give you an idea of who you will be working with, the folks responsible for this articles are on our team:
http://bjk5.com/post/44698559168/breaking-down-amazons-mega-...

If you're interested, drop us an email. Heck, you can even drop us an email if you're in Seattle or San Francisco and you just want to have coffee:

function getEmailAddr( company ) {
company = company.replace(/\.com$/i, "").toLowerCase();
return String.fromCharCode(97, 117, 105, 45, 104, 110) + "@" + company + ".com";
}

Your comment was the most informative and yet it's the second least upvoted.

Syntax files are those things that get really annoying if buggy and are really easy to fix (compared to adding features to the C++ codebase). The fact that they are YAML files makes it even better.

Also hope to see more stuff opening up!
So instead, he makes it google's problem. This is an even more unreasonable and irresponsible decision. If he doesn't feel his project has the manpower to handle support requests for default servers, then he shouldn't list any default servers.
OK, thanks for the clarification everyone!
