Does anyone feel it's very, very wrong of Github to take down that gist?
Imagine it was your software. And that somebody had pirated your beta and actually posted instructions on how to do so on the forums of your own website. What would you do?
Naturally, you'd delete the comment the second you saw it, then start working on patching the hole.
Which is what they did.

How dare they collect usage data to improve their free product!!!
Sorry to tell you, it is not free. https://atom.io/faq "We haven't settled on pricing yet, but you can expect it to be competitively priced compared to similar editors."

OS X only for now.
It is rather disappointing that github heads down the Mac OS path while they base their company around a concept which is rather strange to most things Apple - openness and sharing. Writing for Mac OS first also makes it harder to port to other platforms as it is a rather idiosyncratic platform. If they insist on pushing Mac OS AND want to be seen as a good free software citizen they might want to consider putting so…
Fishy practices, sounds like Apple. It checks out.

It doesn't matter whether it is free or not. My only aim was to provide information that might be relevant for some people interested in trying out Atom (admittedly I mixed this information with my personal position towards Google and the ever-present tracking aka surveillance) so that they know the implicit price of its usage. You are free to use Atom or anything else, but you should always have as much information…
Except you aren't providing information in a vacuum - you are also providing a negative personal opinion. I would rather see responses which purport to educate include a more balanced perspective such as the potential benefits such analytics might confer to end-users in the long run. I fully respect peoples right to privacy. I just wish those who frequent Hacker news were more accepting of the fact that privacy is a…
The other position was already provided for by github and numerous other posters, while I pointed out a fact that was not yet mentioned.
By the way, "benefits of sophisticated analysis" for whom? Google's ad revenues? I actually agree that github could provide a better product with the information gathered, but I really don't think that google should be in between me and github.

Thank you. Can anyone else confirm this?
From the official update: $ shasum -a 256 atom-mac.zip 4614ec62feaea32392ad7f6b3a80534c8ad0c758ed210cabafcc86c5c49a49a1 atom-mac.zip $ md5sum atom-mac.zip 5454bd3a8271c93f5225cd2b57cdab81 atom-mac.zip
So, now that the zip file is missing from GitHub, some people are starting to upload it elsewhere. Can the people who got it from GitHub earlier post the result of running md5 Atom.zip ? That might help mollify the paranoid conscience. (EDIT: or any other hash function for that matter.)
MD5 (Atom.zip) = 5454bd3a8271c93f5225cd2b57cdab81

Are you serious? You expect me to provide a Fox News fair and balanced response in any of my comments on Hackernews? I could understand your point if I would have tried to be polemic, but I surely wasn't. The other position was already provided for by github and numerous other posters, while I pointed out a fact that was not yet mentioned. By the way, "benefits of sophisticated analysis" for whom?

So there's only one comment that gives the impression that there's some kind of troll going on. Just to let you know: It actually works, nothing fishy just someone posting the direct link to the app that's exposed via their update Api. There's no activation or anything, it will just take you straight into the app.
Is it actually ok to download the app without an invite though?
