Won't this deincentivize Bitcoin commerce significantly though?

Well, let's talk about the reality now. By definition, most people are mediocre, not very smart, not very healthy, not very pretty, etc. Most! That's whom Slack targets - most.

Oh, yeah? You haven't heard of Let's Chat [0], for example? [0] http://sdelements.github.io/lets-chat/ P.S. To clarify, Let's Chat is not IRC-based, but it's slackish and supports XMPP.

I was joking. Sometimes emojis help as we're missing a whole communication channel in here (body language).

That was my point - there are two ecosystems with something shared, but you always need to be aware of the differences. I think in the future the JVM can offer better integration with native libraries. I'm not familiar with the details

I'm not talking about users who care about custom Emojis and animated gifs. That's why I said - let the mere mortals use it; we can do better!

Yes, it is there, but do all RubyGems work with JRuby?

Can we go back to IRC now, please! Slack is not only distracting, proprietary, but it is also pretty expensive. Let the mere mortals use it, but we should stay away!

A language without the ecosystem is just sugar.

Great, but I personally can't wait for Python 3.4 support due to asyncio!

Looks like a lovely app, but I wonder why did they attempt to pollute the identity space with yet another username?! Let me give you an example of how this can work against them, which is applicable to other startups. Let's say, you&#x

HN is very important, but it is also greatly neglected. I'm not sure if the goal is not to compete with some of the startups or if Paul Graham has some future plans about it. Unfortunately, due to loyalty, people keep sticking in here

I've only experienced bugs in the early days where you couldn't precisely select a character with the mouse and everything else I've experienced is usually third-party plugins. At least Atom does a great job identifying with

Never said you can downvote a reply, but this gives more privileges to the silent downvoters as they keep downvoting and waiting others do the work and keep downvoting. I know this as in most cases, my unpopular comments get the same negati

The karma system is a crowd-sourced pseudo-automated, and greatly imperfect system to enforce community standards. It's not even using the "wisdom of the crowds" as it's mixing different things into a single meaningless

It surely does affect sorting or silencing unpopular voices, but unless it's a top-level comment, it doesn't really matter. Plus, most people who one should care about when making the effort to post a comment, read at least all to

What? I can't do more than just silently upvote if I have nothing to add? The "karma" here means nothing when you think about it - you lose karma in the real world with your purposeless negation.

Very well said!

True. You have to agree though that this is unfair to Atom. It's new, yes, it uses WebKit now, but it may have native rendering tomorrow. To shoot it down in the early beginning given it's doing many things right (like native pack

Didn't know HN means Historian News. People just are so excited about LISP here, because of some loyalty to Paul Graham. Smalltalk and Forth get a lot less attention than LISP although they share a lot of its beauty - simple yet powerf

I doubt that the majority of people who use IRC are ever gonna switch to Slack. I personally cannot stand Slack - so noisy, so distracting - if I have to use something other than IRC, it will be HipChat, Gitter [0], or Kato [1], but I guess

Sublime could possibly choke on these file as well. I've had issues with larger files with it.

My Atom is up and running all the time until there are new app updates, which require restarts.

by kolev 12y ago
That sucks, but it's not the common case. I personally wouldn't use even Sublime for these either as you can't do anything productive with a 30MB XML document in a text editor anyway.

The activity is recent. There was a 6-month gap with nothing being done at all. Pretty much during this gap Atom got born.

Atom is not that slow in practice... except the slow startup, for daily business it's fine - I'm using it with a full suite of linters and autocomplete plugins on the older MacBook Air and it's not laggy.

People here still get excited about LISP, too. I can understand Clojure, but Lisp, come on! It was in the 80s and 90s when I used LISP for AI and my favorite muLISP, but it's 2015 already! So, this is a boutique community, don't m

I am using Atom daily and I'm super happy. It's missing a thing or two from ST 3, but I got more than I had taken away, honestly. I have paid for Sublime unlike most here who gang up to silence me. I've bought a bunch of plug

It's slow with huge source files, agreed, but you shouldn't have huge source files anyway.
