I'm disappointed to see this getting so much traction when showterm.io is clearly the superior product with rewinds, custom speeds, scrolling up and down and linking to a specific point in time, and has been around so much longer. Here is an example of a longer Showterm session: http://showterm.io/a0616ce5e6f411f292e18 taken from http://www.bitfalls.com/2013/08/autofight-php-job-interview-...


asciinema is here since 2011 (although it was called ascii.io until 2 years ago).

As for rewinds, you can click on the progress bar to jump to a time you want. Also, the upcoming version of the player supports fast-forward/rewind/jump keyboard shortcuts: https://github.com/asciinema/asciinema-player/blob/next/src/...

As for the playback speed you can set speed, theme, font size etc (embedding docs say this - https://asciinema.org/docs/embedding), and you can append these options to any asciicast URL too, like this: https://asciinema.org/a/21743?speed=5&theme=solarized-dark

Looks like these are not easily discoverable from the player UI, so noting this down. Thanks for bringing this up!


Ok, that's quite a bit of news. Thanks for clarifying, shines a new light on things.


That is cool and all, but its really really annoying the amount of history that thing throws at your browser.

Took about 10 tries of going back as far as the history would allow to get back here. I hate sites that do that junk.


It's different in that none of this is actually science fiction, but just science. All the tech is already there. There's just one more step until we reach AI level.

In 1956 it was impossible. Today, all of this is almost here. The path to AI is inevitable, but it branches into many - we should try and find a way to pick the right one before we reach the crossroads.


It's not about centralization, imo. An out of control AI will be able to harvest this data from wherever - Google just has the best starting set and the most robust data stream to make the initial leap, I think. But I agree with moving away from Google as much as possible, though FF is dubious - it's both a mediocre browser and will, as you say, introduce ads.


For evidence, see the WaitButWht post linked in the article. Also, the book Superintelligence. It won't be about following advice, the AI will instantly overpower humanity. You won't have an option.


This is worse than reddit


Any way to see the source?


The survey results are now out: www.sitepoint.com/best-php-frameworks-2014


I thought I was watching an Onion video for a while there, but nope.. real.


Actually, to quote "Masters of Sex"..

> Non-performance is an equally valuable part of the study

If you could submit links to a non-framework app or two you've built, and elaborate on why you don't use them in your answer, it would also be tremendously helpful.


Cool, I've done so. My hesitance is based upon performance, learning curve, difficulty of selection and perceived lack of benefits.


Good stuff, cheers! Very good to know


This survey aims to, eventually, help with these choices. Thanks for the feedback
