Was Frederic Laloux's work (Reinventing Organizations) an inspiration at all in your journey exploring these topics? Seems like very similar territory, albeit from a different perspective.

Nice! Reminds me of the ooo-wow early LLM days where those little explain-Regexps one-off sites were popping up everywhere. Seems inevitable that the LLMs will slurp up this functionality natively as well

Reminds me of those "birthday challenges" I see a lot of here in the mountain west: e.g. climb 25 pitches on your 25th birthday, run 28 miles on your 28th, etc. Gets a lot harder (or more contrived) as you get older!

From my limited exploration and talk with Justin over at http://www.kinematicsoup.com , the requirement for low latency combined with a lot of large binary data requires different approaches.

If you scroll down a bit there are a few examples, including jsfiddle: https://togetherjs.com/ Essentially, they are doing OT on the DOM.

There has been a proliferation of realtime collaboration within code editors because the underlying data model (a string!) is so simple. As you mentioned, you would need to define a sufficient protocol encapsulating the common functionalit

You can currently already do good-enough-for-most DOM-level synchronization using any editor, of which we have a few examples. A lot of the examples of RTC out there (apps using TogetherJS for instance) are doing this already. For rich

Indeed, the space is growing quickly. I run a company that provides a backend for real-time collaboration, so we necessarily stay on top of what's out there. There's a reason the server-side tech tends be paid: it is extraordina

We actually implemented exactly this in our demo: https://demo.convergence.io/code-editor/ Even as the author, I think web-based IDEs have pretty limited utility, but it is a great showcase for the power of our API.

There are a few codebases you can poke around in, notably ShareDB ( https://github.com/share/sharedb/tree/master/examples ). This article had some visibility on HN a couple weeks ago, perhaps it is what yo

Yup, I just wrote an article [1] about just this. Simultaneous co-editing doesn't work unless the UX includes the appropriate cues to avoid this sort of thing. There are astoundingly few good examples of good (much less great!) real-

Very cool to see this on the front page. I would agree that for the use case of plain text, yes, the problem has been solved, but for just about anything more complicated it quickly becomes intractable. Rich Text, for example, is extremel

Thank you for the technical details. Probably a bit late for you guys, but we offer a BaaS tailor-made for this sort of product. For instance you could add multiple mouse tracking and selection awareness in a matter of hours with our APIs

Congratulations on what looks like a very impressive piece of software. Do you guys have any plans to add collaborative features to Construct? Where, say, students in a remote classroom could work on the same game together?

It's $225 a month for a reserved desk which is essentially a less closed-off cubicle with a lockable file cabinet. This was comparable to other coworking locations in my city (Salt Lake).

I live in a bikeable medium-sized city (Salt Lake), so it's a ten-minute bike ride or 20-minute bus ride for me. I really like the atmosphere of being downtown, especially all the food options.

After working from a home office for five years, moving into a coworking space last fall was a game-changer. I'm not the kind of person that gets excited about much, but I couldn't help but wax poetic about it to every person I t

Naturally, this goes way beyond non-hiring. Invited to do something but can't/don't want to? Don't ignore the invitee; let her know. Send that text. You can tell a lot about your relationship with someone by this.

The lack of courtesy is due to the sheer antagonism which comes with the job. I dislike flying as much as the next guy, but I can't help but feel bad for the grunts carrying out such an unwelcome job. Distrust breeds contempt which makes
