  • Interesting talk. By the way, Neil, that was a kind gesture you made, posting bail for Jeremy Marks.

    Merry Christmas to you

  • How is that different than from locking threads and push subsequent request into que? i.e. what many (thread-safe) software already is doing for many years.

  • @0x7e1 its different because its not done with a document wide lock.

  • Bejasus, what's wrong with the volume in this video? I can barely hear the boy speak.

  • the sync'ing behind the "viskonz textwidget" is very similar. its free for download and you also create tables and so. there is a demo-video with english audio on youtube

  • I wonder if the sync-engine behind the "google wave" is based on this stuff?

    Neil, if you read this - are there any ideas, plans or development for the collaborative code-editors (or plugins to the existing IDE) based on this powerful algorithm?

  • No, Google Wave uses Operational Transformation, which is a very different algorithm.

    As for IDEs, yes this is under active development. Mozilla Bespin uses it natively, Gedit has a plugin, Eclipse and IntelliJ are under construction. Google 'MobWrite' and help develop.

  • Am I the only nerd who noticed that he keeps the markers uncapped for long periods of time? THAT DRIES OUT DRY ERASE MARKERS!!! It was painful to see. Otherwise excellent stuff.

  • 26:36 I really want a copy of that diagram.

  • Hey! I know that guy! He was on my robotics team in 4th year, he wrote the navigation and I wrote the block detection.

  • Hi Guillaume! Good to hear from you again. Yes, this is what I got up to when I disappeared abruptly from Carleton. Sorry about driving up the wall and flipping our robot in sector 4. Fun times.

  • Is it a coincidence that the diagram ends up looking like a bunch of dominoes?

  • Ok, I'll admit it. Google's data centers are actually powered by millions of falling dominoes. We train the pigeons to set them up.

  • i wish i was one of those pigeons?

  • great stuff,
