I'm generally interested in why you think it's a terrible word in the aesthetic sense? thx.


Because it conflicts with my sense of English aesthetics. Sorry for not supplying anything more interesting than that but it is what it is.

Edit: I thought a little further about it, and I can expand a bit. It's in the unhappy valley between too clever and not clever enough. Sort of like referring to Comcast as comcrap.


In other words an assembly line?

What about the machine learning algos which suggest pizzas based on previous purchases. What about the convolutional networks to recognize that each spray of sauce is truly unique and 'artisanal?'

Where was the speech recognition for ordering and the oven encapsulating drone delivery swarm?



FWIW there are 9.49 million Internet users in Kazakhstan according to wolframalpha.com

or software which could automate the flight path similar to a drone.


It's been down multiple times over the last month or so.

The following services are showing "Major Outage"

* Website

* SSH

* Git via HTTPS

* Mercurial via HTTPS

* Source downloads

I'm imagining their devops team isn't having a great time right now.

On the flip side, whatever the point of failure is, it's probably pretty high up in their stack.

> Is it in a workable state?

Yes, I've used atom every single day since it came out to write my daily notes in markdown and then see them rendered as markup in the markdown previewer.

However after finding out about the vim bindings I've been using it as my primary text editor for the last month and I really like it.

It's got 95% of the `vim` goodness that I use combined w/ the thriving package scene and being able to extend it w/ JS.

FWIW here is a list of the packages which I'm currently using:

https://gist.github.com/cgcardona/79fa3a6dcd329c60c290

* atom-fuzzy-grep * atom-jshint * color-picker * git-plus * highlight-selected * minimap * minimap-autohide * minimap-bookmarks * minimap-find-and-replace * minimap-git-diff * minimap-highlight-selected * minimap-pigments * minimap-selection * pigments * vim-mode


this really enhances writing in markdown:

I now write up tasks there (ctrl-t) and even switched from using org mode in spacemacs


It's worth mentioning that getting Servo to build and run on OS X is very straight forward and worked for me the first time.

Here is the github repo: https://github.com/servo/servo

Here is this HackerNews thread rendered in Servo: http://i.imgur.com/6yvrr3V.png


You should also try https://github.com/glennw/servo-shell (it's a webpage, and you don't need to rebuild servo or anything though building it in release mode is preferred), which gives you a browser experience.
