If someone is interested, I'm the amin of an instance focused on functional programming: https://functional.cafe

Looking at the local timeline of functional.cafe there is hardly any tech related toots, much less functional programming. Is this expected of Mastodon networks? I noticed the same thing with bsd.network.

That's why I called it “café”

Jokes apart, I'm trying my best to make it a more technical instance, but I can't control what the users toot. I just hope that someone joins a tech instance to talk about tech...

I'm @loke@functional.cafe, and I certainly post about other things outside my main programming interests. So far no one has complained about that.

I think the point of an instance with a topic has more to do with the fact that people on that instance tend to be people with similar interests to you, not that every single post is about that topic.

This post pushed me over the edge--created an account.

And since @dave was taken I snagged @daveross :P

As a lot of stuff nowadays, this is just another 'fast food' for startuppers, a random svg generator would have the same value.

I won't call it magic, for me programming is like alchemy.

I maintain a Mastodon instance for those who are interested in functional programming: https://functional.cafe

You can give Proxmox a try too.

I do not understand: why should I contribute to a project, fix bugs, implement new features and then pay for my own work? It's senseless... P.S.: I don't know how pull request are managed in TM2 project. If the author uses github only as issue tracker, it's another story.

You could easily have checked this yourself: https://github.com/textmate/textmate

One click. Fork. Done.

As has been adequately demonstrated: TextMate 2, as it stands today, is and shall remain open source. Anyone can compile it or fork it at any time. Furthermore, as it's licensed under GPL3, MacroMates is legally bound to leave the current code open source, and allow anyone to compile and distribute it freely.

Now, if MacroMates decides to create value-added services on top of the GPL3 distribution, and charge for it, it does not in any way make it less an open source project.

That's what's awesome about free software, last time I checked noone is hitting you with a stick until you do.

It comes off pretty arrogant suggesting that sniping a few bugs or features is comparable to the initial investment to write the suite. I daresay if you contributed a ton to the core it would be provided gratis to you.

Use it. Don't. Whatever.

I'm not arguing about use the product or not, but about the developing/marketing model... I didn't contribute to TM2 and I'm not going to, I'm wondering if anybody else is going to contribute at this point...

Why wouldn't they? If you've paid for something isn't that _more_ incentive to make it badass?

I pay for products/services/whatever when I have no time/competences/will to make them myself.

kippt.com, then I send most of my "read later" stuff to my kindle.

Imho Jackson is a lot better than GSON.

It's already the next MySpace...

I think you can learn almost any language in a couple of week, but mastering them is a completely different story...

Right saying. As far as I know, learning programming languages looks like learning human language, if you know one language from a definite language family you can learn any other relative language with ease. I'll try to do my best to practice more with JS.
