Interesting project. If I look at one of your code examples/snippets, realize that's exactly what I need and copy it verbatim, where does that leave me, legally?

#122Could you make your website not display a blank page if the browser has Javascript disabled? The content does not seem dynamic, so a simple HTML page should work.
Just out of curiosity, why do you have JavaScript disabled?

Totally legit concern. when we started working on this we realized if we wanted to index tens of thousands of libraries, we wouldn't be able to ship the entire index along with the client. Hence the cloud-based architecture. We've thought a lot about privacy and written up our thoughts here: kite.com/security. The short answer is: we don't index anything on your computer that you don't explicitly ask us to, and our p…
At first blush, the "we wouldn't be able to ship the entire index along with the client" makes perfect sense. However, I have found that I can store the entirety of the raw Python 2.7 documentation to disk in under 15 MB. It's mostly text, so it compresses absurdly well (2mb, gzipped). And if it was just an index of all the functions with little to no markup, it would be even smaller (this doesn't even account for th…
Bit more context, a full pypi mirror is 500GB. But I guess that's lots of wheels etc.

#126I straight up cannot use Kite. The "code-to-cloud" functionality means that I cannot use it at work. I would love to use it, but it's a non-starter.

#128Adam from Kite here. Thanks for all the feedback and encouragement around the launch today. We're excited to be opening up Kite for everyone to download today. When we launched Kite here on hackernews almost a year ago we were blown away by the enthusiasm for our smart copilot vision. Over 65,000 of you signed up for Kite in the first 72 hours, and over the past year we've been working with many of you to deliver tha…
My first time hearing this. I would love to drop some coin if it improves my life, and I think a service like Kite was just waiting for someone to make it happen. I'll test out your demo version today to see if it helps

But what if it's called "size"?
It works like this: aCollection. list of all the method on given collection pops up. If it's short, just skim it and choose something which appropriate. If it's long: aCollection.l check if there's something similar to length/len, use it, otherwise: aCollection.l c check if there's something similar to count then use it, if not: aCollection.l s check if there's something similar to size and use it. Finally, if all th…
This only works for languages that provide dot-like syntax. E.g. in Python (which is a little bit inconsistent in this regard) the equivalent would be "len()" and I am not sure how it should work there, as there is no context to infer the function/method.
I get your point though and there are cases where completion might be useful, but for me the context-switch to a search engine is just not that much of a hassle, but maybe I never enjoyed a good completion engine, so I might give it a try.

Thank you! I keep JavaScript turned off. It makes the internet go much faster for me.
