I love using Sublime for Python. It's still my go-to IDE for development.

great job! Totally enjoyed playing with the sequencer.

This is why we have to stop Trump and all his cronies from destroy this very earth. It's so mind boggling to see the level of greeds at play here. We're already burning up the Amazon and now for some oil and to save a few thousand jobs in Alaska.

Trump and the Republican party are so corrupted it's unbelievable.

You should invest your time to learn how to invest and trade stocks. I spent 8 months learning trading and it has been a very challenging but rewarding process.

Learning Options trading is another thing you can do once you become more familiar with the stock markets, and hopefully you can start trading options using your profits from your wise investments.

These 2 skills, stock trading and option trading, in my opinion, are the most critical skills for someone, especially software engineers to generate more incomes and become financially independent as an alternative path to founding/working at a startup.

You can start small to learn but invest 1 good year and you'll be amazed at the knowledge and freedom you have gained.

I read Shogun and Tai-Pan as recommendations from my dad and I thoroughly enjoyed both.

Your work is amazing. Great job! I'm super impressed. I used to do a bunch of 3D stuff but then I switched to web/mobile dev and that was it for 3D. I can see why your software is successful because it solves a very exact pain-point that is very costly and time-consuming.

Code Complete would be a great gift. This is the book I read when I first got out of college and it has had a very important influence on my coding style and thinking.

Can you share your key principles? Any book recommendation would be great too.

First 5 pages are gold. This part trips me out on how similar the Trump's administration and Trump himself are doing. It's like their playbook one by one.

"And while their political ideologies vary, the 1930s populists shared most of these core beliefs and policy goals:

o They aligned themselves with “the people” or “the common man.” o They were anti-establishment and attacked the current ruling interests (government, corporations, wealthy individuals, etc.), calling them elites who were out of touch and had failed the people. o They sought to undermine those elites in favor of others by, for example, advocating wealth redistribution or the nationalization of industry. o They were strongly nationalist and held national unity as a key aim. o They detested the debate and disagreement inherent in democracy, and sought to empower the executive branch, using strong-arm tactics to prevent others from getting in their way and, in more extreme cases, undermining democracy. o They tended to be anti-international, anti-global trade, and anti-immigrant. They often railed against foreign influence in their countries. This often translated to hostility toward other countries, which pushed those countries to embrace political extremes as well.

• Conflicts between factions became increasingly intense, leading to great obstructionism, crackdowns on opposition and free media, etc. This led to more autocratic leadership. Those that had the weakest norms/shortest history of democratic institutions were quickest to move away from democracy to dictatorship"

We use PropsperWorks and it works great. Amazing integration with GMail. However, watch out for their contract. We had to let go of some sales people and we're still trying to re-negotiate our seats with them.

This is a very inspirational presentation. I'm blown away. SVG can be the solution our next wave of interaction now that Flash has almost completely died.

Right on. Exactly how I feel as well. A few years back Backbone was all in the rage, and then Angular, then React, but the pieces were all moving too fast. Building a site is hard enough. My decision? stick to what works best now (to best of my knowledge for maintenance) and focus on the most important thing: revenue. I hate to be the first jumper.

About time! The paid reviews were getting really annoying and I started to feel that Amazon's amazing review system was going down in terms of quality. It's a bold move for Amazon and it sends the right message: high quality, trust-worthy reviews are much better than high quantity, biased reviews.

This is an interesting library to watch for sure. Personally I have built many scrapers and extractors to be used in house and I have spent many hours on tweaking Readability JS and I know how complicated and hard-to-test the code is. Seeing how Fathom does its job is cool -- it takes care of a lot of the low level, bookkeeping parts so that all you need to do is to focus on tweaking the ranking formula. I'm not surprised if in the future we will have a shared repo containing "recipes" to parse pages, and slap on a nice UI with DOM traversal then we'd have a Kimono-like app for parsing contents.

I had this issue too with non-waking up from sleep. Somehow the problem dissapeared after I upgraded the HDD to SSD. Now everything is working fine. Nonetheless, I'm still on Mavericks, no Yosemite upgrade yet. Just a potential solution to your sleep problem.

Great idea about sharing the ideas around. I can use this idea, but currently 100% of my local friends are non-technical, still it'd be interesting to show an idea to friends. Friend-development approach?

I launched http://marrily.com early December 2011, and within a few days I had the first sign up. I didn't advertise at all but had a soft-launch on HackerNews. Since then Marrily got mentioned on a few magazines (Brides, and NYMag) and totally via organic sources (they found me and reached out). I did a bunch of give-aways and sponsored-posts too. Building partnership is important since it creates endorsements and synergies. Depends on the industry, but for wedding in particular, traditional prints still give very good results. Even 6 months after the printed article on NYMag, I still have vendors contacting me for partnerships and new customers signing up via that source.

My current pending failure is that I haven't made much progress since the launch but ended up getting a full time job for a while to rebuild my savings. I spent all my money working/not-working on Marrily and I was pretty broke when I started working again. I'm not giving up, but more or less spend some time to grow personally and professionally so when I resume, it will be another exciting stage of the journey.

BTW, Rob Walling's interview in babuskov's comment is really good, full of food for thoughts.

Thank you for the link. Amazing.

I feel your case and I can't imagine how hard it is. Though being a developer gives you more opportunities and freedom than you think you have. All you have to do is to be amazing at what you do. You made the mistake once, you paid you dues, so life goes on. I agree with the parent post -- you should build a great online presence to bury the past, to prove that you are a new person.

I once worked with a friend I made online. He's a great designer. I refered him to another good friend for some work, and this other friend found out the designer had been on the news for a felony a few years back ( long story short, he pretty much used his design/photoshop skills and got into trouble with the laws). His case got cleared afterward, but searching for his name on Google still returns the articles from the past.

My other friend didn't work with the guy because of this, but in the end, my designer friend is still happy because he got his life in order. He's a great guy and he didn't let his past impact him too much. He even helped me when I needed some money to survive, he was there to send me some work for the badly needed few hundred bucks.

Good luck. Life is too short to worry too much about the past. Learn new skills, make new friends, become an awesome developer to create more values for society. Look at rappers like JayZ or 50Cents for inspirations. They were put in jails, shots multiple times, and yet they are hugely successful entrepreneurs now.

If you're good, people can't ignore you for long. Email me your resume, I always look for good developers to connect.

You're one childish person. You should behave like a grown up, and learn to speak up correctly. Here in the US there's something called "Freedom of Speech" and if someone at a public event cannot make a private joke that somehow overheard by some crazy, cookoo person, then you got it all wrong.

And you are deserved to be forked for being a nasty person. And no, your repos on Github (if you have any) are not even worth to be starred.

The most stupid b * tch ever. Seriously. Freedom of speech much? If you're not comfortable, speak up, and move your *ss to different seat. I'm not sexist, but I don't want to tolerate crap like this. "Oh you have a potty mouth, let me snap a photo of your mugshot and post on Twitter". Childish.

Great collection! It'd be interesting to see more posts on the techniques behind the demos.

Do you have a strategy of how you built up your network? I'm really curious about how you started, and how you'd pick the right idea to pursue.

I think your pricing is really low. Even for the Pro plan, you're offering quite a bit of benefits so you can definitely charge more. $25/year is too low. It should be a monthly-recurring charge, something like $9.99/month for the Pro plan would do.

As someone who's trying to optimize his life better, what strikes me the most is this part of the post:

  For my consistent experience has been that the more 
  routine I can make the basic practical aspects of my life, 
  the more I am able to be energetic—and 
  spontaneous—about intellectual and other things.

This is the weakest "anti-rumor" corporate response ever. After all that lengthy passive-aggressive "We're great, but you need to charge your battery", there's not a single statement about what would happen if the battery runs out, which is precisely what the original article is about.

Tesla, stop beating around the bush like a politician, grow up and answer the million-dollar question like a man:

What will happen once the car's battery is completely depleted?

(life-line hint: it will get bricked)

Split-screen support is still very clunky. I don't understand why you need to define a new "group". Layout-wise it makes sense as preset layouts, but other than that the group doesn't help at all.

The best split-screen implementation is E-Text Editor. In E, you can drag the tab to create a new split, then "Cmd T" in ANY tab will bring you to the previously opened file in the split. Basically I don't have to remember where the file is opened, as long as I know its name, I can just jump by typing the name. That is how quick jump should be. Also, you can arrange the windows by dragging-and-dropping to another split. I stop using E after version 1 because I made the switch Mac and I have to use Textmate, which does not support split-screen at all (what a shame!). And I miss E dearly.

Currently Sublime Text quick jump is still bad, because it still requires a context switch (switch to the group that has the file opened, then Cmd T), or worse, complete loss of current context (Cmd T would open the file in current group, thus you lose the view of the current file you're working on).

So as long as split-view doesn't get implemented properly, Sublime Text is still just another editor.

This is a project coming out straight out of #startups one late night. I came up with the idea (unfortunately found out that it wasn't original), but a bunch of guys helped me with the name (especially brownie), and hence PushPuppy was born.

http://marri.ly/pushpuppy

Basically you can send any bookmark or snippet to your iOS device.

The iPhone app is written using Titanium and took me about 3 days to finish the core functionalities, and a few more days in total to refine and bug fixing. The web application is running on Rails 3 + MongoDB using Mongoid. The whole site was done in about 3 days.

The submission to Apple was quite straightforward. I submitted it late Friday last week, and it got approved late Thursday (6 days). Apple is getting faster with their approval process. My previous app, Marrily Mobile (http://marri.ly/marrilyapp), took an exact 7 days.

I hope it can save you guys time with the app. I'll attach the promo code next.
