This way the server can serve a static cached page, and distribute the work to derive the colour palette to the clients. I agree that the server could do this, and for a small app like it is this wouldn't even be a big problem, however th

I'll admit that I don't know what your knowledge is, so my explanation might have been directed at the wrong level. I am drafting a pull request that rewrites this for you, hopefully that will be easier to understand! I don't think that you

This is still not quite correct. Let me outline the structure, and then I will try and submit a PR addressing it. The first step to committing is staging what should be included. The staging process specifies an index of files that are to

It took me about 5 minutes to install via wine. Looks like no issues but I haven't played with it much. Getting native linux support would be nice, and I think open-sourcing it has the potential to allow this. Mostly comes down to how the p

Out of interest, how do you approach the legal aspects of funding/supporting side projects? In particular, what happens if one of those side-projects becomes insanely profitable? Do you just ignore it? Do you formally give your employees fu

The term bug tracker initially threw me as well. For me at least, this term is safely ensconced as equivalent to 'ticket management' in the domain of software development. I'm not sure what the best term for this other kind of "bug tracki

I missed it the first time, so I went back to see what you were referring to. Now I want my Kudos back. When you hover over the Kudos button it says "Don't move" for 1 second, and then up-votes the article. There is no way to get the vote b

If nothing else, git bisect allows any user[0] to find when a bug they are experiencing was introduced to the codebase. They do not need to be familiar with the code, the language, that module, the library, the developer or have anything mo

I have no idea if this is related, but I remember reading something a while back about how hard this type of data is to interpret. A poignant example was given, describing how an entire city might switch countries, for example from Ukraine

The 'traditional' method requires gpg on the client machine. The vault was just a way of uploading text and having it encrypted on the server automatically. The user was required to download the encrypted data and then decode it themselves.

Just to be clear, this article is about why a wordpress theme maker is not allowed to participate at a wordpress conference because they are (through a proxy site ThemeForest) selling their themes with licensing that wordpress doesn't like.

I agree that the correct response is definitely not being rude and aggressive, and that is true in pretty much every situation anyone ever comes across. The main problem I think we have is that posts will continue to be 'link-baity' and som

Should age be included in a post's title ? In most cases, the age can be disclosed in the comments without losing any information, and in the process removing any 'negative' connotations. I posted something on the thread that started this

The OP could have included their age in a comment on the post. By including their age in the post title they have, inadvertently or not, 'gamed' the system. If this is right or wrong isn't really the question, but neither the title nor the

I'm interested why you would think that. If the situation was chaotic (which I would presume a system with many random perturbations to be) the expectation is for the repeated small changes to have a significant impact.

They do not claim proof here. Further, they cite two other bunches of photons that "Two other short duration photon bunches bolster the statistical significance of this limit" Every result, except for those whose environment is completely f

They expect space to disperse particles like this, if space is indeed foamy. This is because small deviations over a long space-time would lead to large variations. This bunch of photons, and two other bunches, seem to have not been dispers
