It was called the magna carta.

The sad fact is that 99% of people just don't understand the concept of 'rule of law.' They think it means 'rule of the law man.'

Whats wrong with FreeBSD?

shortcj | 12 years ago | on: Adding Realtime Collaboration to Vim

"Cursors" was the question; with TMUX and VIM in rogue mode multiple people can type independently in a separate "window." But it only supports one cursor per window.

google docs on the other hand seems to allow multiple cursors on the same window. So one person may type in section 1; while the other person type in section 2 without interfering with each other.

With a single cursor however; when two people type at the same time they almost necessarily interfere with each other. Unless one stops driving while the other types.

I think to implement the 'google docs' style multiple editors would require a different buffer for each user and a merge script that periodically runs the commands for each ofthe other multi-user buffers into each other buffer of the multi-user sessions.

My sincere condolences to the family of Margaret Mary Vojtko.

Regarding the subtext of adjunct professor / student tuition abuse and exploitation for the keepers of the 'trademark and databases.'

We are almost facing the event horizon of a black-hole; sub-star level lecturers are facing obsolescence. Mega-corp is trying to establish a stranglehold on what may be the 'database.' The database will determine your personal 'trademark' status in society and its integrity is something worth fighting for.

Sorry; that was a bit of teasing.

Real question: I have experimented with RTC using TMUX and VIM; and it seems like an essential meh factor was the single cursor; sure any of us could take the "driver seat." But a rogue mode with multiple cursors on the screen would be more like the google docs implementation; and this does not seem like a problem you have solved??

Will this run on an Amiga and BeOS?

Lawyers are a "racket." They show up when you have just enough money.

It would be interesting if browsers could accept HTTP requests.

Since he is an Chossid; very many of these details are spelled out by his religion and not left to chance; or pre-marital experimentation.

In view of this "breakthrough" leak, I am now supposing that Edward Snowden is a willing participant in psy-ops.

Should the NSA director outsource NSAnet root?

shortcj | 12 years ago | on: He got 1%, we can't hire him

My supervisor recently asked that my compensation be increased; so I got a weird phone call from the HR person where she just wanted me to know that she and the senior management knew I had been arrested a long time ago. But she conceded that she did not tell my supervisor; because well I was found not guilty in court. wtf.

There must needs be an independent and viable channel for whistle blowers to report government abuse to and be protected from retaliation. The problem with terrorist is real; but there is also a real problem with bad/corrupt government cronies.

what about 'Intel inside' do you not understand?

shortcj | 12 years ago | on: Node.js incorrectly parses HTTP methods

an immediate value stored in an instruction would double performance over an l1 data cache reference... but this is stated just to mock people on this thread who want 'almost' machine level logic to match robust user land permutations.

Why not do a bit check optimization instead of looking at whole characters?

shortcj | 12 years ago | on: Mark Zuckerberg’s Facebook page was hacked by an unemployed web developer

Facebook is a top tier company; they don't pay people attention, much less real money, without a track record of like Harvard or Stanford already.

We might be equal in an abstract sense; but in particulars we are very different. If you are alien or opaque to me then the uncertainty about you is a risk. Risk devalues.
