I'm currently using http://aloha-editor.org/ and would consider moving to this one but it doesn't provide anything on top of what aloha does except it costs money and aloha doesn't.

I will checkout the Charitable license but would prefer something open source so I could give back :)
> There are some advantages to this strategy. It taps into old, powerful emotional responses in human beings – the same responses that give messianic religions their power. As a way of recruiting a small hard core of dedicated followers it’s tough to beat, and sometimes – if you’re, say, the Gautama Buddha or Jesus or Mahavira – you can make it scale up. But I described it as a trap for a reason – most such attempts do not scale, remaining tiny marginal cults.

Is fanatism working for RMS? Well, the German Pirate Party regularly top 10% in the polls, which is rather better than you'd expect from a "tiny marginal cult", so one has to conclude that it is working.
Just read that as well, which makes it a very valid option. Would be great to develop on a screen like this.
Its funny I had the same issue but can say after 5 years on a Mac it goes away. That and I sometimes have to work on a Windows 7 machine for certain SDK's and now I'm lost over there. Mostly I miss the large multi-touch track pad (I have to use a mouse on the windows laptop) and Expose, which I seem to use a lot.

The new Windows 8 Metro UI will create an ever bigger gap between the two it seems.

All that being said, w/r/t an OS it seems like the one you're most comfortable on is the one you should use. Its really hard to say any one that is objectively better at this point.

Definitely looks fantastic (assuming, of course, everything works as roadmapped).

Gotta say that the price is a bit of a turnoff (can't see paying double my yearly server cost for a text editor...), but I know you guys need to make money, so I can only say, "best of luck!"

I think you'd see a lot more traction with a much lower itch point (I'd pay $99 for the unlimited license, for instance). And what's with the users and developers thing? I'm not even sure how you'd track it, assuming it's a non-hosted script, and even then I can't see a justification for jacking the price up. Again, I know you need to make money, but c'mon....

Just my thoughts. The product itself looks fantastic. Just hope I can afford it....
Hopefully the macbook pro with retina display supports 16gb of ram. Everything else sounds amazing, but being limited to 8gb of ram for another few years is going to hold me back.
I have a true 1080P on my 13.3" Vaio Z notebook which I run at the full 1920x1080. I would stick with that over this new MB screen. It's all about effective resolution when you are trying to get things done and that hasn't changed on the MB.
I have to say, that's one of the best designed little sites I've seen. Clear answers to all my questions up front, slick, good value proposition and explanation. Great job!
I thought 10.6 was so-so - I preferred Leopard's Exposé. I hate 10.7. But 10.8 makes sense again, especially now that 3rd-party apps are catching up with the concepts of 10.7.
- Can't actually provide link text (<a href="#">link text</a>).

- Can't insert images, videos, flash, etc.

- No way to set custom styling, change font size, change font itself, change the font itself.

- Tab doesn't insert tab, but rather removes the highlight.

- No justification.

Compared to other offerings on the market (my main comparison being TinyMCE), this simply offers a quick way to make very simple edits without necessitating the clicking of "save". This sounds like somewhat of a niche market.
The mapping from pitch to keys is (generally) clear, but what isn't clear unless you are fairly skilled is the mapping from keys to fingers. eg:

Beat 1: root-position C-Major triad (C,E,G) fingers: (1,3,5)
Beat 2: first-inversion a-minor triad (C,E,A) fingers: (1,3,?)

If the pattern is legato or fast and you can't lift up your hands, playing both G and A with the 5th finger will be difficult for most players. The easy solution is to finger the first triad with (1,3,4) or (1,2,4) so you can move 4 to 5. The latter being preferred if possible, to reinforce the weak 5th finger. (1,2,5 is probably the most natural fingering for the a-minor6 triad)

This is a trivial example, of course. With real music it's usually much more complicated and learning how to handle fingering challenges is one of the more important things you learn as a student of piano. Even classics often have fingering suggestions included, if not by the original composer than by subsequent editors.
Well, it was for me. I held off on the iPad until an iPad 3. After using an iPhone 4, when I picked up an iPad 1 or 2, I saw pixels everywhere. The main thing I use my iPad for is reading. I guessed that would be the case, so I held off on getting one until it had a high-resolution display that could display text without visible pixels.

Be Proud of Your Accomplishments, Not Your Affiliations - Daniel Gulati - HBR
As a - former - landlord, I can tell you that I was interested in much more than just credit scores. I wanted to have stable, long term tenants in my units. I also wanted responsible people who would tell me if there was a drip so that I could fix it before it became and issue. I found that the more time I spent vetting tenants, the less time I had to spend worrying about disputes and other issues. Tenants live in a valuable asset and everything from their cleanliness to job stability really matters.

What would happen if you ran Windows or Linux on the MBP? What resolution would you get?
Perhaps I'm the only one, but I'm really waiting and praying for a new Mac Pro system and 30" Retina displays. Its been since 2010 for an update on the Mac Pro. Currently, I can't fathom why anyone would purchase them given the price. But the laptops have never felt capable enough for fulltime use for HD video editing (or 2K or 4K...)

Unless there's a "just one more thing" with these, it seems that the Mac Pro appears more and more dead.
I wouldn't say the main selling point but It's important. What do we use computers for? Reading and consuming media. Most media isn't "HD" yet but nothing is holding our written word from being rendered better.
You're right; no case.

IMHO Apple fanboyism is not a problem in the hacker community.

It's a well-built solid metal portable development workstation. With BSD UNIX. And a pretty layer on top.

Among programmers, I never need to explain why we would buy these things.

It's outside the programming groups that the conversation gets hostile. I find most programmers avoid this completely, knowing that they're simply using the best tool available for the job, and ignoring the hype, criticism, and fanboyism. Props, hackers, keep it up.
> Microsoft is a walking disaster currently.

The problem is perspective. The types of people that spend time on HN don't spend time in the real world, where the current state of affairs is very different from what we think it is. Apple gets a lot of hype, and no doubt the iPhone is very successful (because it was a new type of product), but the iPad is no more than than a glorified toy. Once Windows 8 tablets are released and become commonplace, the iPad will stand no chance. The ability to use the same device for casual consumption and for productivity cannot be understated. Try getting out of San Fran for a few days, and you'll start to understand what I'm talking about. There was a similar issue with Android a few years ago, but it seems even the most hardcore iOS fanboys (such as Marco Arment) have finally gotten on the Android train.

And don't forget about the TV. The iTV simply will not sell, because people are not going to throw out their existing TVs just so they can get the latest shiny toy from Cupertino. OTOH, MS has huge market- and mind-share in the form of the Xbox 360 (which has been the best-selling console for more than a year). You can already watch Netflix and HBO GO on it, and Amazon Instant support has just been added. Kinect has proven extremely successful, and with Project Glass, all kinds of new mashups are going to become realizable.

> I'm sure your imagination of a Windows 8 tablet is vastly superior to an actual real-world iPad.

Have you been living under a rock? Windows 8 is coming out this October. Several consumer previews have already been released, and hardware has been demoed. Windows 8 tablets are much more of a real entity than you seem to think.

Hi RichF,

You're right in that it isn't cheap compared to an open source editor that you can get for free. It is cheaper than other paid competitors though and we believe it is superior in many important ways. For example, it's the only one that can do both In-Place and Form based editing. It also cleans the HTML very well: Try pasting in from Google Docs, or Word, or any random HTML page (I like using Slashdot because it's a mess of nested tags). We also fix a bunch of issues to do with browser differences. I think you will also like our roadmap which includes many more features not available anywhere else. We have experience implementing many of the things in the roadmap already so they will be coming.

If you are looking for low cost, there are a lot of alternatives. One of the goals with SnapEditor is actually to make it for people who are willing to pay for their editor. This obviously benefits us (since we want to make profit) but we believe the needs of people who are willing to pay will be different from people who are not.
No, there are 2880x1800 pixels. If you want to use the full screen to show 1920x1080, you are non-native and the math doesn't even out since there aren't half pixels. Now if they had gone 3840x2160...
You're right when you say Netflix Canada offers very little in comparsion to Netflix US; but Google TV does not require any accounts that are only available to US customers. That is also wrong. You just need ANY google account. You can make one when you purchase the device.

It was RMS in the beginning - he built the foundations: the software (GCC, the GNU-project, Emacs), the philosophy and the values (his essays and interviews), the organisation (FSF), the copyleft legal rights (GPL).

ESR wouldn't be as recognizable as he is if he had chosen to opine on something less important and influential than RMS and his contribution.
Apple adds Tabs, Documents features to iCloud at WWDC
I'm having the same concern. I use all 1920 x 1200 in my standard workflow. I'm concerned about the lack of a 17" model, as this screen's physical width is just about the minimum that can support two side by side pages at comfortable reading font sizes. Pixel density is high enough already that I'm not persuaded more pixels will make smaller fonts any more comfortable, and 15" simply doesn't approximate two 8.5" x 11" pages side by side no matter what the resolution is. (Put two 8.5" x 11" pages over your 17" MBP screen; note they only hang off the edge by about a half inch.)

Full screen apps with the magic pad swipe between them mitigates this somewhat for apps like Mail, Sublime Text, or Terminal, but 1440 x 900 is a poor choice for dual page word processing.

That said, after development, my second most common activity is photo triage and editing. For this, the 15" retina display could present a far truer representation of what can be expected in the final print.

But I'm concerned about the "less glare" feature. I've also always and only purchased the matte screens. They have no glare, and no false brilliance from the glossy screen. For photo editing for print work, the matte screens have always felt more accurate. I'm curious if they've gone to a single screen surface, based on glossy, but with somewhat less glare. I'm not sure I'd be interested in that.

On the plus side, a MBP 17" only fits in carry on bags that can't quite go in a commuter jet's overhead bin, while the 15" will fit easily in most any commuter jet compatible bag.

That said, the iPad 3 64GB with iPhoto and SnapSeed can ingest and edit a great deal of photos even at today's DSLR resolutions. On recent trips, I carry an iPad 3 plus a Nextodi external portable photo HDD with integrated card reader. I edit one day's worth of photos on the iPad, while archiving the full memory cards on the Nextodi.
Over the past 10 or so years Microsoft has been a behemoth moving glacially on whatever inertia it had left. Recently, it seems like the behemoth is starting to regain control of itself and is demonstrating independent movement.

Sure; they're nowhere near being as focused purposeful as Apple is, but you can no longer say they are truly stuck in their ways. Whether that will translate into something tangible is another question, but it's hard to deny that something fundamental isn't changing at Microsoft.

Heck, I can't even honestly diss people's Windows mobile phones anymore, and that's nothing to sneeze at.
SnapEditor is much smaller than Aloha. Aloha is over 1mb in size. SnapEditor sits at around 180kb. This will affect page loading times.

Aloha provides only in-place editing. SnapEditor provides both in-place and form-based editing.

We really respect the guys over at Aloha for producing an open source editor, but it is still quite buggy. SnapEditor concentrates on giving a predictable experience.
Why would you require that specific resolution?
Right, my point was that the parent had mentioned credit scores, and those in particular were irrelevant. As I said, the general point - that landlords deserve some measure of oversight in the handling of their valuable assets - absolutely stands.

Exactly. I'm like this. I have all Apple paraphernalia, but I only buy them because they work well and look good. If Roku produces a player that works with all routers, and not crap out on updates, have customer support that can help me, I would use theirs. But it isn't the case and I can't waste my money.

They're saying they did something to the glass to make it less reflective.
Why on Earth would corporations care if they get the Aero interface? There are a lot of reasons for corporations to choose (or choose not) to upgrade to Windows 8, but lack of the glass effect on the desktop is a purely aesthetic change. It doesn't affect the function of the UI, and it hardly seems like this is something corporations would even factor into their decision.

The Evolution of Fail Pets: Strategic Whimsy in Error Messages
Nice work! I think there is still more work to be done in the WYSIWYG world as all the current editors I've tried in my app seem to either be frustrating to use or too bloated (I love speedy scripts)

I have 2 suggestions:

1. Could you please release a version without jQuery baked into it, I really don't like it when plugins include jQuery in their source as it's a lot of unnecessary bloat added to the application (and most people have jQuery on their site already or can include it easy enough if they don't).

2. I'd love it if you could make each feature (additional options / controls etc) on top of this core an additional module and make sure they don't rely on each other like how jQuery-UI does it. I haven't found a single WYSIWYG editor that does this and it frustrates me because I have a need for an editor with some functionality and not others and would like the ability to not include unnecessary features to reduce file size and improve performance.

Then you could release a full version with every single feature baked in, or a minimal version which is just the core and you can add in other features by including the js files for the features you want and enabling them via a config file.

If you build the API well enough and snapeditor is popular enough you could even enlist the community help to build plugins for it for features they'd like to see, sublime text does this really well.

Yes, definitely. I found attending Harvard/MIT incredibly valuable. I met a lot of awesome people and learned a ton (there is no way I'd be doing what I'm doing now without my time at school). But I don't think my life would be any different right now if I had stuck around to get my diploma.
