Apple does not want to contribute to the open source community?


Is that surprising?


Yes, repeating this nonsense that Apple is against open source is indeed surprising. Bus I guess facts should not interfere with opinions.


so what's your explanation?


The free public beta is now over. ;)


albedo you have made a excellent summary! When I tried it, I slept 20 minutes every 4 hours and at the end when my system had adapted, I woke up automatically after 20 minutes even before my alarm went off and full of energy as if I slept 10 hours. But after 4 hours, I was completely exhausted and I really needed my 20 minutes of sleep.


When I was in university I tried the polyphasic sleep technic for 5 weeks. Here are my findings:

- The first 14 days are really difficult because the system must adapt and causes a severe lack of sleep. During this period, I would not trust myself to drive a car.

- Do not drink coffee and alcohol because it completely destabilizes the system.

- The vivid/lucid dreams where an incredible experience.

- Not sleeping at the same hours as my girlfriend.

- Time... so much time! It is also often the reason that people fail to polyphasic sleeping. Some people don't find anything to do and fall asleep watching television.

Overall a very pleasant experience!

Why only 3 days of tryout if it's not even public?


Longer trial periods usually don't lead to better conversions. I might extend it to a week though.


Seem's interesting, I would like to see more screenshots of the IDE without having to install it.


Yup, a short screencast or some screenshots would be great. Seeing as Windows isn't a supported platform (yet?), I can't try it out right now without rebooting and I could use some more convincing...


I'll try to prepare a screecast in the following weeks. There is now a demo there: https://demo.chocolatejs.org/


It could probably be supported on Windows, but I'll need some help...


Is it possible to have an invitation too? colt450 on Gmail. Thank you roryokane!!


-Why using a code and not simply a URL (ex.: http://nearfeed.com/667568)? It will be less manipulation then having to copy/paste the code in a textbox.

-Why using a code and not just giving coordinates?

-Not really accurate for me, 2 km away. I know that its not on your side it has to do with my IP. To obtain the coordinates have you tried another geoip service besides Google Maps? Like maxmind database (http://www.maxmind.com)?


I created a similar project to share/track real-time location as you move, its an iPhone app that shares location and generates a url that can be opened by friends on any browser. It not just static location, but will show your real-time location, if you move, then the marker on url moves.

Check out http://shaloc.com use invite code "hackernews" to get iPhone app promo code to download. Give feedback, thanks.


Do you really print your code?

"Too bad because it looked awesome!"

You will not use it because of the CMD+P problem!?


You missed the point. The fact that CMD-P doesn't do what it's supposed to do was a big warning to me.

One of the best things on a Mac is that every application uses standard keyboard shortcuts. For example, CMD-, always opens preferences. I believe that anybody who doesn't follow these conventions is doing it wrong. If the application doesn't print, CMD+P shouldn't do anything in my opinion.


I agree that this is very important, since I tend to lean heavily towards keyboard-driven interaction. It's not enough of an issue to prevent me from using the editor, though.


I believe you meant

   CMD ,


There is no documentation? No examples?


Documentation and examples are steadily building up on GitHub's Wiki system, I may move it from there at some point, but it works for now
