I'm generally interested in why you think it's a terrible word in the aesthetic sense? thx.

What about the machine learning algos which suggest pizzas based on previous purchases. What about the convolutional networks to recognize that each spray of sauce is truly unique and 'artisanal?'
Where was the speech recognition for ordering and the oven encapsulating drone delivery swarm?

I'm imagining their devops team isn't having a great time right now.

Yes, I've used atom every single day since it came out to write my daily notes in markdown and then see them rendered as markup in the markdown previewer.
However after finding out about the vim bindings I've been using it as my primary text editor for the last month and I really like it.
It's got 95% of the `vim` goodness that I use combined w/ the thriving package scene and being able to extend it w/ JS.
FWIW here is a list of the packages which I'm currently using:

* atom-fuzzy-grep * atom-jshint * color-picker * git-plus * highlight-selected * minimap * minimap-autohide * minimap-bookmarks * minimap-find-and-replace * minimap-git-diff * minimap-highlight-selected * minimap-pigments * minimap-selection * pigments * vim-mode

Can you explain what you're thinking here? In what way(s) specifically? Thanks.
Though the people who 'get' prototypes swear that they're the greatest paradigm ever you will still get a huge amount of people coming in from other languages which find the prototype chain awkward and prefer to think in complex class hierarchies.
These people who choose to create their abstractions out of classes are in no way 'wrong.' To each their own.
Adding `class` syntactic sugar is just standardizing on something which many people already do every day.
We have an incredibly large transient population and yet there are hardly any public restrooms. It's an all too common site to see someone squatting down in the middle of the sidewalk relieving themselves.
We pride ourselves on being the Florence of the Digital Renaissance yet we can't provide for the basic human needs of our citizens.
For a while I've been looking for ways that I can make a big difference in cleaning up our city and this project is the catalyst that I've been looking for.
This morning my mind is on fire w/ ideas thanks to the inspiration provided by http://www.lavamae.org/.
As a person which has adopted San Francisco as my city and the place where I'm raising my son I thank you greatly!

Looking like a toy could even serve as a useful form of camouflage.
Finally I would say that the fidelity of 3d printers is going up and the price is coming down. I would imagine that they won't look like they were sold at Toys-R-Us for much longer.
Easy and secure way to print out paper wallets. Built on the rasberry pi.
I'm extremely comfortable with vim. I can cruise seemingly at light speed and have just never been able to find a text editor which offered the same level of productivity when jumping back and forth between the mouse/trackpad and keyboard.
However I just couldn't resist the urge to try out a new text editor that was created by github and thankfully I scored an invite from someone on twitter.
I've only had the thing open for about 10 minutes and already I'm impressed.
It allows me to write in markdown, save the file, render the markdown into markup, and then launch the webkit dev tools to inspect the rendered DOM.[0]
Do other modern text editors such as Sublime Text allow you to render the markup and then inspect the DOM with browser dev tools? If not that alone seems like a pretty good innovation.

Here is a screenshot[1] for anyone who didn't run the code. However a screenshot hardly does the dynamic nature of it justice.
I don't remember the exact price when I first found out about bitcoin on Hacker News but I'm sure that it was below $1. At the time I remember being incredibly enthusiastic about bitcoin. I learned all about it and told anyone who would listen.
I remember that there was a site that would give you a free bitcoin if you simply pasted your wallet address into a field. Over time as bitcoin became more and more valuable the percentage of a bitcoin that they would give for free became less and less.
I even had my little macbook mining for coins over the course of a week. And no I never successfully mined any.
My friends and I kicked around the idea of having an online store that accepted bitcoin but at the time there were no plug and play bitcoin processors for online merchants and we didn't have the expertise to build it out ourselves.
Over time my interest in bitcoin waxed and waned but I remember reading about someone paying for a pizza with 10,000 bitcoin. Then I remember reading about the silk road.
Slowly over time bitcoin was becoming more and more legitimate in the eyes of the world. Then I remember when bitcoin went to $10 and I was like 'Damn! I missed the boat! I should have bought at $1' And then it went to $100 and I was like 'I should have bought at $10!' Now it's at $1000 and I'm saying 'Damn I should have bought at $100!'
Though truthfully I feel that tying the value of bitcoin so directly to dollars undermines what is truly valuable about bitcoin in the first place--namely that it's anonymous, decentralized, and peer to peer. Also I feel that the incredible increase in the value of bitcoin is causing most people to just sit on it as an investment instead of spending it like a currency.
All that being said I still am incredibly excited about bitcoin and intend to be part of it's huge future but unfortunately I didn't get to be a bitcoin millionaire.
For a while Phusion offered Ruby Enterprise Edition[1] which made improvements on the Ruby 1.8.7 interpreter including improvements such as:
> * A “copy-on-write friendly” garbage collector, capable of reducing Ruby on Rails applications’ memory usage by 33% on average.
> * The tcmalloc memory allocator, which lowers overall memory usage and boosts memory allocation speed. > * The ability to performance tune the garbage collector.
> * The MBARI patch set, for improved garbage collection efficiency.
> * Various analysis and debugging features.
They've since dropped support of it because:
> * A copy-on-write patch has recently been checked into Ruby 2.0.
> * Many of the patches in Ruby Enterprise Edition are simply not necessary in 1.9.
So it sounds like many of the improvements offered in Ruby Enterprise Edition 1.8.7 have been rolled into Ruby 2.0. Do you have any suggestions of what might be included in a Ruby Enterprise Edition 2.0?

The frustrating part is not seeing how it's going to be formatted while I'm actually taking the notes. This app could solve that problem. I'll give it a try this week.
Some questions/comments:
1. What are you using for the popover tour that appears the first time someone visits the page?
2. The logo looks very much like the Stack Overflow logo[1]. Are you associated with that group? If not I'd consider changing it.
3. I'm familiar with but haven't used Epic Editor[2] by Oscar Godson and friends[3]. Have you checked it out by any chance?
Again, great work and I'll be giving this a try over the next week or so.

Purple and Yellow are complementary colors.
"When placed next to each other, they create the strongest contrast and reinforce each other. They are widely used in art and design."[1]
Having cut their teeth on a language tends to leave the programmer with a worldview where any language which doesn't have the same features which are present in their beloved language is an inferior language.
I believe Paul Graham refers to this as 'The Blub Paradox'[0].
Most of the complaints surrounding javascript stem from the fact that it was initially designed to be a lightweight scripting language.
At the time that javascript was created I think that very few people envisioned the web growing into what it has become. Javascript wasn't created with 100,000 line programs in mind.
Therefore it is currently missing some abstractions which people creating and maintaining programs in the large have come to rely on such as classes, interfaces and modules.
Also javascript has a very simple standard library which leads to people feeling that they need to reinvent the wheel in most cases.
Finally Javascript has prototypal inheritance as opposed to the more traditional class based inheritance which so many programmers are used to.
Of course many of the things mentioned above have already been solved or are currently being solved.
The ECMAScript standards body is in the process of adding classes and modules. Libraries such as underscore.js are fleshing out the standard library. And tools such as Coffeescript are providing a more class based inheritance model (if that is your thing).
