- switch33 12y agoWhy must this require google login at all? It should not be mandatory. . .
- tokai 12y agoNo idea, but Google groups are central to the Julia community. Guess they just like to use google. We could fork it and do another login if we wanted to escape google. https://github.com/JuliaLang/JuliaBox https://github.com/JuliaLang/JuliaBox
- spaznode 12y agoAh, thanks.
- ViralBShah 12y agoGoogle was just for convenience and something to start with (and not worry about user management). We also want to be able to use the Google Drive Sync. Once we sort out other pressing issues, we will certainly add other methods to login before announcing again. Pull Requests are welcome too!
- ViralBShah 12y agoGoogle Groups were just convenient when we started, compared to other mailing list software. It is not the greatest, but better than most other things out there - and gets the job done.
- spaznode 12y agoI don't think the kind of people who would be interested in this project really care about having to sign in to google.
- idunning 12y agoThis is not meant for public consumption yet, so alternatives will be provided later. Before then, using Google to authenticate is much simpler than making a robust password system, and the tool also can store files on Google Drive - requiring auth anyway.
- Blahah 12y agoWhen I sign in I just get returned to the home page and invited to sign in again. Anyone know how to reach the good stuff? Edit: from the JuliaBox README [0]: - Not recommended to host on the public internet just yet. - Security is mostly a TODO at this time. - Docker itself is undergoing changes in its API. Since we pull in the latest docker, changes in the docker API may break JuliaBox at any time. So it seems this is not really ready for demo yet - perhaps prematurely posted to HN. Look forward to seeing it when it's ready. [0] https://github.com/JuliaLang/JuliaBox/blob/master/README.md https://github.com/JuliaLang/JuliaBox/blob/master/README.md
- idunning 12y agoYes it was posted by a third-party, not fully ready for primetime. Its running on AWS so at least no one's computer is likely to get owned due to any glitches! Thanks for your interest - it is a pretty fun tool.
- spaznode 12y agoI clicked on the sign-in via google but then nothing else happened after authorizing identifying me.. No email, nothing. Maybe they are understandably experiencing some high loads or something. It'd be nice to quickly update web page to state that though if true. UPDATE: Never mind, see https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8281116 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8281116
- idunning 12y agoYes this wasn't meant to publicly available yet - was up for our own testing and internal use. The maintainer is working on scaling it a bit, but its not really ready to take on the full load of the internet.
- aioprisan 12y agoWhat is Juliabox? The landing page itself does not say anything about what the product actually is and what the benefits of signing up are.
- sebg 12y agoJulia is a high-level, high-performance dynamic programming language for technical computing => http://julialang.org/ http://julialang.org/ From the front page => Run Julia from the Browser. No setup. This means that you can run the programming language from the browser without having to install Julia and the various dependencies onto your system. You can just run it from the your browser.
- idunning 12y agoIt is essentially Julia running in the browser, primarily as an IJulia notebook. Its a way to try Julia, and is good for teaching as students don't need to install anything to get started with technical computing.
- curiouslearn 12y agoI clicked on "Sign in via Google" button. It asked me for permission to access some information. Then went back to the original homepage; the one that still asks me to sign in. Now, if I click on "Sign in via Google" nothing happens. Also, nothing else on the page is clickable. How do I try it out?
- idunning 12y agoThe site wasn't meant to be publicly released yet - it was online only for internal testing amongst a small set of users. Its under very heavy load now so is most likely unresponsive. You can get a similar experience by trying out IJulia on your own machine though, until its properly released.
- eah13 12y agoLooks like a landing page to gauge interest. Consider me interested.
- idunning 12y agoIts actually functional, but wasn't meant to be released yet and can't scale to this kind of demand. When it is released, I'm sure you'll see it here!
- racycle 12y agoReminds me of http://forio.com/julia/repl/ http://forio.com/julia/repl/ except the addition of iJulia notebook makes it much more useful.

- idunning 12y agoThis isn't ready for public consumption, it was posted to HN by someone unrelated to JuliaBox.
- johnmyleswhite 12y agoYeah, it's a huge bummer that this leaked before it could be set up for a heavy load.
- dang 12y agoWe'll bury this post if you'll post it again when it's ready. The thread is unable to be a meaningful discussion right now, so I think that's in everyone's interests.
- ViralBShah 12y agoWe had 250 simultaneous connections when we were configured only for 20. We will certainly post it when we are ready.
- dang 12y agoGreat! I'm pretty sure those 250 connections will be ready to go when you are. Good luck with the work.
- idunning 12y agoThanks so much! I was going to flag but was unsure if it was appropriate.
- dgdg 12y agoWhat is it? Why would I sign in into something I know nothing about?
- idunning 12y agoIt is Julia running in a browser, allowing you to try it with no installs. Its not meant for public use yet. And yes, you shouldn't sign into something you know nothing about - no one is asking you too :)
- z131 12y ago-1 -> Only sign in is with google.
- dimillian 12y agoSo I don't know what is Julia, and I still don't know what is it. It's a box for Julia, look greats.
