Real world text editing traces for benchmarking CRDT and Rope data structures

Project mention: JSON-joy CRDT benchmarks, 100x speed improvement over state-of-the-art | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-05-22

Hey! Author of diamond types and the (linked) editing traces repository here. Would it be possible to make & share an editing trace or two from your application? Even a single user editing trace would be super helpful - like a big list of which objects were replaced by what values, in order.
I really want json based CRDTs to be fast, but one of the problems we have optimising this stuff is that there aren’t a lot of real world data traces around to use as baselines for benchmarking. I don’t know which parts of automerge are slow, and without that knowledge I can’t make them fast. If we have some data from your application, most upcoming json based CRDTs will almost certainly work well for your use case.
If you’re up for it, flick me an email or just open a PR on https://github.com/josephg/editing-traces

:atom: The hyper-hackable text editor - Compiler Optimized, Community Maintained Fork

Project mention: Don't Use Thorium Browser – If Installed, Remove It | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-12-14

Well you can get arrested and charged for pretty much anything. Will those charges stick, and will you have to defend them is the real question.
As for CP, in the UK and the US there is the defence that you were not aware of the CP, you should be fine, but you may have to spend time/money convincing cops/prosecutors that.
As for the repo on my account that got spammed with reports today there are 2 things to highlight 1) the reports were nothing to do with CP, but “Sexually explicit content suited only for mature audiences.” 2) the repo was a fork of GitHub’s own (discontinued) Atom editor, it doesn’t even have the files in question included in the repo. The email I got (will paste below) talks about files in another repo that were updated ~9 months ago (couldn’t be arsed to look into the files history to see if they had existed before then and that date was just the last time they were updated). My fork was from 2022 when GH discontinued Atom (was still using it for a couple of projects, so took a fork just in case, but ended up never needing it).
So the atom repo fork got restricted (would need to be logged in to GH to access it) for content it for what I can tell never even contained any porn, lol. Guess because the user in question also had a fork or just a repo with a similar name “atom-ng” someone or group mass spammed reports on those repos, because I got 5 emails from GH all with 1 min about this one repo that had been untouched for over a year. Anyway enough rambling, what follows is that email. Note the yiff folder never appeared in my fork at any time, but it was still flagged by GH
