He was talking about rocket reusability, specifically reusing orbital stage. Just reaching the orbit is possible in stronger gravity, but returning back whole stage is already very close to the limits of current material science


I'm surprised that no one asking this - but what's the future for Atom in VSCode in light that they are pretty much direct competitors AND developed by same company now. Any plans to merge teams / unify development? ( Or opposite, close one of the projects ? ) Competition was definitely beneficial to both of them, but is it common to have healthy "intra-company" competing products?


Nat Friedman, who will be the new CEO of GitHub, answered this. He said that both would be maintained as long as there were dedicated users, and that he expected it to be for a very long time.

I expect it could be used to promote Microsoft.

Surprisingly, Atom doesn't even say GitHub above the fold on https://atom.io/ There's an octocat above the fold, but it doesn't mention GitHub until further down the page.


Does it not have "GitHub Integration" link in the main set of buttons for you?


Below the fold. On a 13" laptop and a phone though. Might show up higher on the page on a bigger screen.


Ah. My 15" puts it all above


Over time there will be divestment on Atom and VSCode will be the "natural" alternative.



+1 rfb protocol is not complex and properly documented


It depends on what you compare it to. I meant complex in the context of the use case I have in mind. It certainly IS much more complex (and powerful) than a simple GIF creator. But if you only need a one-way, low quality stream, RFB is overkill.


I might hack a bit on JS-only gif encoder this weekend but at the moment yes, you need to have proper development environment to compile under windows. unistd.h dependency might be an easy fix though


depends on browser, but I guess yes.


Yes, I was thinking about server-side image maps and link with target in invisible frame. Mouse movements are harder (if possible) to send without client side javascript
