Agreed. I had to skip paragraphs and hope I didn't miss anything. And in the end, I just had to give up.

As Atom is a Node binary I suspect cross platform will be really easy when they have time.

I suspect there'll be cross-platform issues they want to solve later than sooner and thus why keeping it single platform.

Wasn't Sublime created because he hated how TextMate 2 never came about? Or was it just got popular then. Because it felt like the former.

I'm confused. He talks about how he reviews the code. I expect some thoughts about it. Then he talks about how he's switching to vim and it's weird? Then he links to Documentation?

The original devs really care and that's lovely. I've always felt guilty about playing 2048 despite having bought Threes twice (once on Android and once on iOS.)

I don't know what I'd do in their position; feeling disheartened is definitely one. It's a great game - granted I'm not a fan of the sound design so get frustrated sometimes - the game itself is fun and addictive.

I don't think this post will convince as many people as they think to switch to the original, but I hope it does them some good.

Did anyone really use it in the beginning other to stroke their ego when they were feeling a bit down? :)

I wrote about about my views: http://zachinglis.com/posts/oculus-and-facebook-sitting-in-a...

But long story short - As Zuck said, it's a long bet. But one that most gaming companies won't want to be associated with. But they're not going after gaming anyway, gaming was 2 words in the press release. They're going after experiences, of which they have no prerequisites in place (healthcare, sports games, etc.)

I'll be looking forward to whoever shows up in place. It's just such a shame - I felt like they were the awesome people to look forward to seeing help change the gaming landscape.

We won't hinder your website. We'll email you at 80% and if it's a one off spike, then we'll let you go over fine. If it's a monthly thing, then we'll chat to you and ask you to upgrade :)

Apologies for that. I'm going to put my hand up and say I made a mistake but it's all back now :)

I personally want Rails and PostgreSQL too. We've talked about it a lot and its definitely something we're keen on implementing :)

We don't do horizontal scaling, correct. We have some great advantages of not doing that. We isolate your project, and give it as many resources as it needs.

The largest instance we can put you on is equivalent to 100 Heroku dynamos for instance. And we plan on growing that farther.

I have a blog on a popular host, and when I got hit by Hacker News my server fell over. Doing so caused me to lose a lot of the reads and garner plenty of complaints from here. It can be a total pain, and every time my posts appear on HN, I get scared inside if the project isn't on HN.

As for simplicity; it's not just the filesystem. The panel itself is easy to use, and we're continually adding more relevant features to help people just focus on staying in flow and working on their code.

If we can save devs any time, we've won. And I think we save them a lot of time.

There's a wide variety of skills and wants from developers. The fact is; we have a user base of developers who do want us. And I personally, as a developer want us.

We have git automated deployment being released this week. And if your database is 2TBs, you want an Enterprise Solution.

You can currently snapshot your projects, in the same manner we do for failovers.

But we'll definitely keep your opinion in mind, thank you.

Sure, you could. But there's a ton of differences as you can see. It depends if you want automatic vs manual. And if you got the time to do manual, then I get that. But it's all about saving the users time, so they can focus on the core parts.

Dropbox could all be hosted on S3, but the ease is worth it. Etc.
