- aerique 14y agoI do not share the point of view of those who criticized this approach to making money with open source and I am really happy to see many other people do not agree with it either.
- bsimpson 14y agoStill needs to hit 15k EUR for TextMate/Sublime bindings.
- wkonkel 14y agoThey should have used www.bountysource.com!
- yuchi 14y agoThis does not mean that the funding has closed. There are a lot of stretched goals that should be reached. But at least the project will be open, and that's fantastic.
- serkanyersen 14y agoWhat! I checked the site like a few hours ago and it was around 5000. It was featured in the Javascript Weekly newsletter, I think that's what happened. Congratulations.
- nadaviv 14y agoThe big jump was due to a donation of 4500€ from telerik.
- msoad 14y agoIt's now two months that I'm trying to think how we can solve while(true){} bug in in-browser code editors. If you don't know what while(true){} bug is, go to jsbin.com and type it. There is no good solution so far...
- yuchi 14y agoThat's very interesting. Could you point me to some article explaining the reasons behind it?
- CaveTech 14y agoThis is known as "the halting problem". A very fundamental problem to computer science. There are some clever strategies used to minimize this issue, but it currently has no solution.
- beagle3 14y agoThere cannot be a perfect solution; that much was proved by Turing back in the '30s, when he founded a branch of math we now call "Computer Science" - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halting_problem http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halting_problem (and http://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halting_problem http://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halting_problem) have the details. The question is, what is a desirable solution? It's easy enough to detect while(true){}, but it's impossible to detect longer equivalent pieces of code. I'd be fine with a "pause/halt running js" button; unfortunately, it's up to the browser to provide. User-provided solutions are essentially guaranteed to cause horrible slowdown.
- yuchi 14y agoOh gosh. I just understood the problem. It's simply the fact that it runs the code. I thought it was somehow a problem of the editor. Shame on me.
- edtechdev 14y agothat slowmo.js that I think was mentioned here recently inserts a timer that checks how long a loop is running https://github.com/toolness/slowmo-js https://github.com/toolness/slowmo-js An old tool I used would insert a check at the end of each loop for if the escape key was being pressed and exit
- csense 14y agoHe's raised 11.181 euros so far of 10.000 goal. That's all of what, $15 US? Is this a joke? Or is he in some backward poor country where $15 is a month's wages? He probably could have self-funded -- with money left over! -- from a single hour of actual work for someone.
- superchink 14y agoThe period is the equivalent of the comma that you're expecting. 11.181 Euros is equivalent to 11,181 Euros (depending on where you live). You can find more detail here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decimal_mark http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decimal_mark
- bnr 14y agoLooks like they use a point when the campaign is in EUR and a comma when it is in USD or GBP. With the exception of Ireland, that pretty much matches the map from the wiki article. But I think they should rather honor the user's locale in any case.
- dopamean 14y agoI'm hoping that this is just a bad joke.
