You are right in your interpretation of what I meant. I think the lane split is the better example of the prisoner's dilemma. As others have mentioned that in the two-lane merge situation the global optimum is the selfish approach.

I'm in Montreal. We have a serious traffic problem during morning and evening rush hours. In fact, TomTom has put our city at #4 in North America for worst traffic and it seems #1 for both morning and evening traffic peaks [1]. Two places t

I've always felt that driving in traffic is a sort of prisoner's dilemma. Consider a two-lane highway that splits into two directions, a very popular direction and an unpopular direction. Inevitably, we will see a group of people who will

Seems that I can't reply to the child of my sibling comment so I'm replying here. ACE is quite ridiculously powerful. On its primary implementation ( http://c9.io ), it supports multiple cursors with concurrent editing. I've been able to us

OT (See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operational_transformation ) is one of the technology solutions to the problem that you've solved through a locking mechanism. Not sure what server architecture you're using, but in Node.js there is a

Nicely done on Scratchpad. The interface seems to be the right combination of simple and intuitive. It would be great to see the source code as many others have said. I'm particularly curious as to how you've done the collaborative bit giv

How did you accomplish the real-time text editing? Is there any OT engine that you hacked into Firebase?

It seems like the Gist component of the API is either having a hard time or no longer works with JSONP. I'm also having an issue with Plunker as legacy templates are pulled from Gist and are currently broken.

by gbadman 14y ago
Also, since we're talking about Gist, you can get your gists into Plunker very easily: http://plnkr.co/edit/gist:1136236?p=preview is a snippet by the unbelievable Mike Bostock pulled directly from Gist.

As many have already said, Github just keeps delivering quality, well-conceived and well-integrated updates. I hope they keep coming. Now for my shameless plug: If you use Gist as a means to share web-related snippets, you might be amazed b

Great stuff, I think this will take over from jQuery.noty for me.

This is a radical change from how we might have imagined Steve Jobs dealing with this situation. I can imagine a scenario in which Steve spins the maps snafu so that the customers end up apologizing to him. "In Steve Job's Apple, the custom

Creator of Plunker here. Big thanks to the Nodejitsu and Mongolab folks whose services are strong enough to compensate for my crappy code being hit by a Hackernews assault.

Similar feature has been on Plunker ( http://plnkr.co/edit/?p=streamer ) for a while now though, perhaps, with less polish.

Plunker has existed for a while now: http://plnkr.co and has its own little micro community. The editor (with real-time collaboration too) is at http://plnkr.co/edit/

Hi MrDOS, thanks for pointing that out. I fixed it yesterday.

Hi atlassic, you are right on that point. Perhaps I have poorly articulated my request. Plunker is different from those sites in one key respect (and several other smaller ways): Each plunk is run as a first class web citizen This means

Yep, as your typical weekend hacker I was completely oblivious to the real torrent that is the HN front page. The awesome guys at http://www.nodejitsu.com/ are helping me weather the storm. Alas it seems to be my backend code that just is

Looking at Angular in more detail makes me want to port Plunker over. It would be a neat test of the framework since I find myself hitting some tricky areas in Backbone.js and in others wishing for a more prescriptive harness.

You can play around with it on Plunker. Check out http://plunker.no.de/edit/JVl3Jx?live=preview for an example. I didn't write the example, but did make Plunker.

Hello woodall, you can add a file by clicking the plus button in the bottom left of the screen. If that button doesn't appear for you, then that's a whole other issue. Please let me know. Similarly, the minus button removes files. Double-cl

Clunky?! I'm only surprised that you say that because one of my goals was to try and keep the ui out of the way. I'm still trying to think of a way to have all the necessary elements while staying minimal. Do you prefer its look when the 'r
