The latter. According to the article the 'like neurons' part just means that they use ion channels to communicate. You could argue that the title of the article is slightly misleading, but then again this is an article that talks about 'charged ions'.

From the abstract of the paper (http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/vaop/ncurrent/full/natu...)

"[...] ion channels conduct long-range electrical signals within bacterial biofilm communities through spatially propagating waves of potassium. These waves result from a positive feedback loop, in which a metabolic trigger induces release of intracellular potassium, which in turn depolarizes neighbouring cells. Propagating through the biofilm, this wave of depolarization coordinates metabolic states among cells in the interior and periphery of the biofilm."

Looks nice, I'll have a look at one of the clones for vim.

exactly.

I like the idea. It reminds me of something I want for myself but can't really formulate well.

For example, let's say I'm working on a paper and while writing, I encounter a latex problem that I want fixed so I go off and look it up on stackoverflow (instead of making a note that I need to fix this later). Ideally I'd go right back to working on my paper after solving the issue. Unless I can't solve it and have to do more digging and on and on. Until I'm interrupted by someone/ something and when I get back to the task at hand I don't even know what I was working on and why.

So I thought that it would be nice to have something like a stack trace of things I'm doing. I'd be able to see where I left off and more importantly how and why I got there. But I'm not sure that a stack is the right data structure for this, and if not, what else to use. Also, I can't imagine how to build something like this in a way that I'd actually use it, because it would probably require too much typing/ other overhead.

Is there a British version of the [Lichtbildausweis](https://shop.digitalcourage.de/lng/en/thema/ak-data-retensio...)? It's a custom 'official' looking ID that is sold by an NGO that promotes privacy among other things.

The slides are from a talke Ray Cromwell recently gave at the gwt.create conference. Hopefully, the recordings will be available soon.

It's not exactly been bleeding edge the past few years. Now with the 2.7 release and the 3.0 release (which is hopefully coming very soon) it's receiving a major revival.

One of the most important new features are javascript interopt, which enables you to write libraries in java and let other people use it like any other js library. In the other direction, you can easily use javascript (libraries) in java. That means it's possible to just use modern stuff like polymer from within gwt without much of a hassle.

No, currently it's 1.7 (with gwt2.7.0) and soon (when gwt 3.0.0 is released) it will support java 8.

Parts of the page are still rather outdated and haven't really been touched since 2010/ 2012.

This is why it's so great that the site got a new look now, it indicates that things are moving again and I'm sure the outdated parts are going to be removed soon.

It was updated very recently, after not being touched for quite a long time. I'm sure they will keep making it better over the next weeks.
