This looks extremely interesting. I have looked at several JS-based text editors, and so far none have matched my requirements. ProseMirror sounds like something I have thought about as a possible approach. Well, not so much the collaboration part. I've had hard time just trying to reason about DOM vs document tree, contenteditable vs trying to match writer's intentions, and so on.

This pattern matching of user's intentions and using DOM diffing to find out what actually happened feels right to me, especially using persistent data structures. Handling parts of the document as a tree and others as a list seems like decision that could probably make development much easier as you'd know, I imagine. I have been wondering about how to do structured inline element annotations, and lists inside block level elements certainly looks it could work.

Also, this relates to what LightTable folk's talked about in IDE as a value [1].

I'm definitely going to back this. That said, I'd like to know more about what is actually going to (hopefully) be open sourced.

Is this a stand alone app with plugins, a collection of components, or a library to build your own editor?

Is it written in purely JavaScript version 5, 6, or something else?

What about the persistent data structure implementation?

How are user intent patterns modeled, ie. what would it entail to build your own?

Have you thought about intermixing document tree with editors for other types of content, like tables and media?

I am slightly confused. So what happened?
Or someone from Scunthorpe (cf the "Scunthorpe Problem").
These are some hilariously bad examples. Every Debian user I know adds repositories which violate the social contract, for proprietary drivers, codecs, etc. Ubuntu, while it's named after a humanitarian concept removed this for this very reason: it goes against making the best product possible. I'd argue that most people prefer an OS without said social restrictions and I think Ubuntu is evidence of it rather than evidence against it. That said, most of the restrictions in the things you've listed are technical or legal in nature and _do_ actually have to do with the resulting product rather than unrelated social disadvantages. The Debian social contract simply states "no discrimination" which is certainly in line with meritocracy in my view of it at least.

To answer why: because people want quality software and political agendas are a niche at best. There are much better places to address such things.

>How does meritocracy help them?

I was tempted to give a perhaps too glib response that it allows them to live in a world where they might possibly be able to benefit from the advances wrought by the more talented, but that doesn't seem to get at your underlying concern.

My personal belief is that those who lacked the opportunities to develop themselves still deserve to live with dignity and full moral consideration, but that doesn't mean we should give them awards or accept their pull requests necessarily. Furthermore, if one apportions them a scarce resource at someone else's expense, I would consider that to be unjust.
Much like Groucho Marx:

"I shot an elephant in my pajamas... how he got into my pajamas I'll never know."
I did consider such cases. My current theory is that it is unlikely that clients will keep up a torrent of updates so constant that there'll be a lag of more than, say, a second before any given change gets through. But if this would turn out to be an issue, you could have the server implement some kind of fairness algorithm by slightly delaying clients that recently got their changes through and prioritizing those that made a few unsuccessful tries.
I'm not sure his method would prevent a headless scraper like CasperJS or PhantomJS from doing the dirty work, but nice technique nonetheless.
My college did this to me. Hastily thrown together event "Hey, let us take some photos of you for the website". A year or two goes by, and I've left town (graduated), and friends start emailing me photos of my face on the side of a bus. Big campaign, apparently.

To make it better, I looked pretty much like a sociopath in those photos.

And I'm sure I signed some forms saying that they could do this, but they also rushed us through those forms because we were apparently short on time.
Sigh... there is so much wrong with what you've posted here, but I don't want to get into a screaming match with you about it.

Seems strange to feign ambivalence while still responding to the post in question. If you really "didn't want to get into a shouting match", shouldn't you have just not responded at all?
Every article I've read on this topic tends to say the same thing: Atom is a decent (but somewhat performance-hindered) text editor that borrows some, but not quite all, of the features and nice bits of Sublime.

Given this, why would I want to switch until it has parity with everything I've come to expect from being a paying user of Sublime?
Self hosting is of interest to avoid monthly fees / per event fees - I'd rather pay up front for software, run it myself and not have to pay hundreds / month - additionally, our (as most would) attendance would fluctuate - numerous times we paid for more seats at Webex only to have not as many attend as we anticipated, but the same conversely happens also - we paid for a low tier and more wanted to attend. Sometimes you don't know how many people will be interested in a specific topic, even though we try to gauge interest by forcing registration via our website.

Also - self hosting might lend itself to tighter integration. It would be awesome to embed the broadcast page directly into my events page, instead of emailing everyone a link to webex and maybe they got the email, maybe they didn't, maybe they missed it, etc...

.mp4 is fine - was just concerned it might be some proprietary format like Webex uses.

Do you have other things in your iTunes library? I've noticed that sometimes when connecting/disconnecting to bluetooth speakers my iPhone will play the first thing in my library with out asking me. I'm guessing when they sent out that free U2 album that's the only thing in your library and the bluetooth bug is making it play randomly.
Which version of Chrome / which OS are you using?
Dropping a random album into your library is slightly more forgivable than an interrupting notification at 3am.

I have a kickstarter project that's surpassed it's funding goal to support the development of a not-yet-existing open source project. Im 99% sure it succeeded because I'm already entrenched in the community it is targeted at, which doesn't help the diversity angle. It is encouraging for me because it allows me to dedicate myself exclusively to open source for the remainder of the year.

I wont link to the campaign but the repo is here: https://github.com/enjalot/building-blocks
The Declaration Effect of an Accelerator
This is a library providing the client-side editor component, with a bunch of modules (UI, collaboration), and a well-documented API through which to connect it to surrounding code.

It is written in ES6. The persistent data structures are not very involved, just objects that never get mutated after their initial construction.
This reminds me of the sites that discouraged hotlinking by examining Referer and then sending Goatse.

It's the "it took 10-20 years" thing. Really, the advance of digital technology made it all work out in the end - trying to do all that stuff in the mechanical domain was charming but it took more talent than was readily available and raised the price of cars. Digital just means a different class of engineer could address the problem and the replicability of digital helped. A generation had to exit the workforce and be replaced for it to actually work.

My more central point is that they didn't have to be polluting at all, using older technology. Properly tuned engines didn't pollute much.

Most if not all issues addressed were really down to proper maintenance. The "people who aren't there" in the modern software that runs cars do that for you now. As hard as it may be to believe, people were more or less expected to do their own maintenance on cars. Of course they didn't. But that is just how I was raised.

Again, we use cars to rejigger location in real estate. It's the use of a technology to solve something that is ultimately a governance problem. I suspect land rent taxes would be more efficient.

Could both not exist together? I have to claim ignorance on the idea of unions and chartered professions, because I've never worked in an industry where they've been an option. In the UK, unions tend to have a bad rep, and any time I've mentioned in around other British developers most have flatly rejected the idea of having a union (mostly for the reasons mentioned in the follow-up article you've posted).

> The outlier is the software industry.

You are very badly informed if you think it's just the software industry. I had a brief time at a place with mostly mechanical engineering work and the group of 40'ish people (100% men) were the most misogynistic men I have ever met in my life. Sexism in tech pales in comparison to the daily comments that flew in that office. I am very sure there is much worse sexism going on in other industries besides tech -- why tech gets pretty much all the attention, I'm not sure.

> It's full of people that feel they have some kind of special insight into the anthropological origins of gender relations in a technical context, or some such bullshit.

Actually, the friends I've made in the tech industry are some of the smartest. I actually do happen to think that for some reason system administrators are usually very smart folks (but that's just my observations).

> This entire thing should be a non-issue. I can't believe an ad for some company is getting this much attention just because one of the ads featured a young woman. It's stupid.

It is a non-issue. It's just a few nutcases on Facebook who made those comments. The bigger problem is the opportunistic attempt to make a story out of this. It's an easy sell, so the players involved are really taking it to town.
Any word if this is Sense-driven and if it will be avoided if you use an alternative launcher? My instinct says yes, since it's supposed to be Sense that HTC was rolling out ads to, although the fact that it showed up in the Notification bar makes me wonder if it bypasses the launcher altogether.

Not yet. Please be patient. I still have to add the ability to define new data structures and types before it's a complete language. I'm currently working on that. Then I need to make the code more robust. I also have to eat my own dog food for a while - if I don't use it, who else will?

After all that, I'll sort out the .303 release. This will allow free (as in beer) non-commercial use.

Ah - I think you just gave me the insight I had been missing into why America seems to have issues trusting the police, and consider self-help as a necessary supplement to calling the cops. You think of them as an active preventive measure - they have to get to the scene of the crime and actively stop it.

A more useful police function is to investigate and prosecute offences after the fact. If you know you won't get away with doing something, you'll be discouraged from doing it. In this case, what are the cops going to do? How about follow the drone, figure out who it belongs to, then go and have a word with them? Is 'conducting a criminal investigation' government overreach?

I don't use Chrome either. I like Firefox - even if it is less secure (in principle) than Chrome (no process separation between domains or sandboxing of plugins).

The reason Native Client exists extends well beyond Adobe Flash Player. Native Client exists to enable your browser to run native code from any website (think compiled C and C++ code) without it being able to compromise the security of your machine.
In this kind of setting there is no career growth though. You're either a 'code monkey' or someone like a technical product manager, or you manage people. They are all different paths, with none of them being inherently better or worse than others. Money-wise, a lot of code monkeys are contractors, which means that they take home as much or more than senior management.

Honestly, I'm not even sure how "upward career growth" could look in a company structured like that. I don't think I saw a single programmer in here who empowered himself with business domain knowledge to a degree where he could make meaningful contributions. I guess we're all comfortable with where we stand.

The point isn't that those 50 Bitcoins are worth $14k, it's that he owns up to a million of them, and nobody is sure who he is or whether he still had control of those coins. This seems to prove that he does, unless blockchain.info is wrong.
For those not aware, the original 50 coins sent to this address were generated from the genesis block, the first block on the blockchain. However, the transaction is still unconfirmed, so until it is this could be nothing. Market has been scared downwards though.
i think, it is 50 BTC, roughly 14229 US Dollar
At an exchange rate of $284.45 USD/BTC, this comes out to a transaction of a little more than $14,000. However, as creator of the Bitcoin protocol and an early adopter, and that this is one of his oldest wallets, he may be moving unknown quantities of Bitcoin. This could cause a disruption on the open BTC markets if he exchanges a large quantity -- but for what reason? No one knows, since Mr. or Ms. Nakamoto is anonymous.
Simple, easy and brilliant works
We know that the very first bitcoins in the blockchain are "his", and IIRC some other coins have been tracked as "his" based on being in the same wallet or wallets. There are a number of articles on this over the past years.

I say, "his", since we don't know who the creator is, could be a group of people, might not be a man.
What's the possibility someone brute forced his private key?
What's the net value of these coins now? Is this going to drop the price since there are so many?

Amusingly in their 2012 talk at Defcon CloudFlare talked about using Unpatched Open DNS Resolvers to basically reflect back against themselves until they all crashed as a way of mitigating a DDoS.

The problem is the internet can't handle that much bandwidth at once. While every Open DNS Resolver would crash, so would the whole internet :P
It only appears to be recorded on blockchain.info. None of the other blockchain explorers seem to see it.

I'd hold off on the news until it's been confirmed.

As an Anglo-Italian bilingual speaker, I also wish to add that (compared to my only other native reference, English) Italian is almost maddeningly facile on ambiguity all the way to ample latitude for double-entendres.

Don't believe the hype. Applying fMRI methods to lie detection is at least as problematic as the polygraph. Here's a good review:

Apparently, from their perspective, it's OK to cross that line:

* It's not your notification area; it's theirs -- they control what shows up on it.

* It's not your operating system; it's theirs -- they control what it does.

* It's your not phone; it's theirs -- they control what you can do with it.

It could get worse. I imagine it's only a matter of time before we start getting ads inserted within our personal messages (e.g., "click here to read the rest of your mom's email"), or asked to click through ads to change phone settings like display brightness, or even forced to see ads before we can use the phone to make non-emergency phone calls. Their imagination is the limit!

I lost my reference - but you don't own any of the air above the highest structure of your property. The 83ft, if I remember correctly, was the height of the tallest structure of that farmer's farm. So that isn't a value set in stone either.

There's also limitations to how tall you can build structures, even on your own property, so erecting a giant tower to claim more airspace isn't a solution!

People assumed the billboard used a stock photo, rather than a picture of an actual engineer, because she didn't conform to the physical expectations of an engineer.

A lot of them are posting to Twitter under the hashtag #ilooklikeanengineer - https://twitter.com/hashtag/ilooklikeanengineer
