There used to be a program called Teleport Pro, which can download an entire web site. I used it rather extensively to download interesting sites for local storage, so i got a large selection of pages, a lot of which do not exist any more.

I wonder if this is evidence of anything. The news make headlines akin to "They proved he planned it all along!", but really the missing part is what other simulations were there on that computer. Is it one among many random fligh

I tend to try to get the big picture. What is the overall structure of the program? If it's a game, for example, then what layers are there between the user and the display driver? Where does it set the screen mode? What is the progres

Sure, Android is more or less Linux, so lots of the usual stuff would work. This is pretty much what i mean by (1).

Feels familiar. It's this rocket launch in super slow motion, the uphill battle of following the standard script. Finish school, finish the university, get a job, work on the PhD, survive the lawsuit vs conscription army, finish the Ph

As cute as this is, it's missing the core issue - a phone lacks real OS and real software. It does not, usually, come with anything on it that is available on the regular desktop/laptop. This would take severe hacking to work arou

The big deal is that it does not ask whether you want to upgrade or not. It just did, whenever it damn pleases, regardless of whether you have work to do or whether your computer/work environment can handle it. That's the trust-ki

Quite a while ago. There never was any alternative as comfortable as the GUI tools people make of Windows, so i kept putting it off for a while. But somewhere around the start of the Win 10 malware i decided to bite the bullet and moved my

From the asian perspective, it's who you were born to, and who you are friends with. Manifests itself a lot in questions of access to the higher positions, career growth and so on. It's fairly common to get refused on a promotion

In the end, patents only ensure that good things go down the toilet. Why do companies continue making them?

On both sides of the fork. The bet is that one side would die out, and most of the exchanges agreed that they would stop operations until a clear winning fork is determined.

A related question - is there an official job registry in the USA? That is would the gap be known about from public record, or is it up to you whether to specify it in your CV or not? Also, how would you put the "tried a startup, faile

1. Awesome. Hm, it's kinda close to edit/delete button in your own ones. Might be a good idea to separate them a little. 2. Nice. 3. Kinda convoluted, but neat. 4. Kinda pointless. Would be less so if the unhide was accessible wit

WTF. Would they sue paper manufacturers next? Paper is regularly used to pass notes between criminals, terrorists and whatnot, so same logic should apply.

I wonder how meaningful the "remote work" is, considering the legal issues of hiring workers from another country? What if there weren't any? Time zones aren't always the problem, high-speed internet is often common, lot

Sounds normal. At first you want to get something that works, and works correctly. This is rarely achieved by small and optimized code. Once you have the correct code, you'll also have a more complete understanding of the problem and i

People who do it for fun? Writing an OS [0] was one of my first programming projects, 17 years ago, and things were kind of revolving around it like planets around the sun ever since. Naturally, it's not something you can earn any mone

Another thing i contemplated was doing the GUI (That is, the OS window manager) in the same fashion. The rectangle algorithm of redraw-updating windows and widgets is quite a curious beast. However, it didn't feel right and reminded to

That started out fairly nice, but then they used AT&T assembly syntax, which made it worthless. But opinions aside, it does look like a nice reference and exercise piece.

Heh, guess where i got the inspiration for this thing. :)

I agree, there are many other pieces there. Perspective correct texture mapping is another big one, and above this all are shaders. I wanted to visualize the part that is at the very base - the scanline Z-buffer rendering. The foundation of

Why do you want closures for the web code? What do they add? What is hard to do without them?

Add to that the mental burnout of having to violate the natural project hopping progression. The job does not care that you won't be able to get interested in their stuff for unknown amount of months. It must be done, and now. Reading

Hm, what are the use cases for this? I worked on something that ended up vaguely similar, but apart of a couple of cool demos there didn't seem to be any point to it.

Well, yes and no. I used Pascal to write some web apps, i.e. computer graphics explanations [0], visual philosophy [1], and simple games [2]. It's a nice ability to have - being able to share complex programming as you share written te

It's kinda sad to see our elections to be used as reference for falsification detection research... This isn't exactly new, such analysis was done as early as 2011, i.e. http://lleo.me/dnevnik/2011/12&#x2

Back in the 90s when Flatron TVs appeared, there was a joke around here - first the TVs were convex, now the are flat, at this rate tomorrow they'd make them concave. It was a joke, kinda like infinite blades on a shaving razor. Decade
