This is cool! Did you document the format or is it really limited to what we see on the front page?

Thanks. I'll expand on it. In the meantime perhaps try out the demo. That'll give you step by step examples.

This didn't got enough attention, there are still companies marketing their own binary obfuscated ones.

The French stopcovid released everything for theirs, client, server, protocols. https://gitlab.inria.fr/stopcovid19

And theyade a huge emphasis on protecting privacy.

Flask (Python) for super simple stuff with no db (I have a custom ldap user and groups manager for example) with semantic ui frontend and crude html. Ktor in kotlin for any API thing that needs to last. Spring boot in kotlin for stuff that require auth and db with vue.js in front using type script. (Makes developing one week viable products doable)

Bioinformaticians use Python,R,Java,Julia,Groovy,Js and more (I use kotlin and python mostly but that's in a niche of bioinformatics I don't touch genes nor proteins)... Same as in software dev, there are a lot of beliefs. So you have the club of the js people that hate java, the club of pythoners that hate R, and people that just use what allow them to solve their problem and they are the ones that achieve the most but also that you hear about the less.

I wonder how the jvm (be it with kotlin, java,...) would behave on these algorithms.

I wish we would have the equivalent of the language servers but for collaborative editing. That way you could edit with one user in emacs, one in vscode, one in intellij etc.

I once used something called Floobits[1] that was capable of this. In practice collaborative editing wasn't that much more useful vs screen sharing and the additional constraints of managing Floobits workspaces didn't make it worth it for us.

What makes floobits awesome is that it could will allow someone using Vim and someone using Emacs to do pair programming.

And if you can make Emacs and vim users happy then you can have world peace.

The only problem we had with it, was that it was only 99% reliable... And that 1% error (in the connections dropping and such) was annoying.

But I still consider floobits a project with great potential.

I did pair programming on XEmacs in the 90's by opening a new frame on a second X server. It worked surprisingly well as long as both people stayed out of the minibuffer.

A.k.a. M-x make-frame-on-display. It’s nice, but it does not show the cursor of the other person, which makes it hard.

What happens when network drops? Do you have a chance to merge conflicts? Or one version wins?

That looks nice, however for those interested, only the plugins are opensource and usage is not free. The good thing is that it shows what is possible.

Not every tool we use has to be free.

i find collaborative editing most useful for online docs, like wiki pages, etc. not having to worry about locking makes a big difference when editing is fast paced

That is such a great idea. The need for a service like overleaf to provide an entire front-end + text editor is just ridiculous when there is already so much existing software out there. Multiple editors with realtime shared data + shared previewing tools totally should be a thing.

Try floobits.com is the implementation of this idea.

Wow that's pretty insane actually, thanks

Sounds like a good addition to the gobby/libinfinity project:

https://github.com/gobby/

This looks really cool. Do any text editors aside from Gobby support libinfinity?

Given that most links on http://www.infinote.org/ are dead, I suspect the answer is no.

I could find one source here with such a ranking (didn't dig in their method though): https://ideas.repec.org/top/top.inst.nbcites.html

The throughout is fast but nvme drives have much more latency than RAM.

We're talking about remote internet-transversing applications. They all have network latency far in excess of any disk technology.

Memory initialization is really slow. On servers there is that, plus the fact that you usually don't want to do a fast ram check like you can afford on a laptop. Add to that initialization of the remote management, SAS/raid,... A server does a pretty thorough quality control when it boots. Also if you have a lot of mechanical drives, there may not be enough power budget to spin them all up at the same time, so they start progressively.
