If someone wanted to build a PS4 ABI, much like how Wine works, there's a small chance that you could - but most likely not.

I was looking back on some old code of mine a month ago or so, and found this amazing bit of ERb I wrote a year or so ago when I just started working with web things. https://gist.github.com/IanChiles/5560787

They want to force Tesla to go through them, instead of selling direct to consumer. Tesla not going through the dealerships is bad for the dealerships business.

It appears to work just fine in Mobile Safari for me. I just dragged to draw the box and it worked quite well.

A small note on Go and enforced conventions. Gofmt enforces a standardized syntax for all code - there's no debating or arguing over code style. Now for the rest of it (file structure and the like) Rails blows Go away. If Go had a fram

I seem to recall reading that these processors would have a 220W TDP - which makes the whole 5ghz thing much much less impressive...

I was following The Verge because my live stream cut out on my AppleTV. Sorry about my confusion...

Agree 100% with you on the Mac Pro. It's a novel design, but I have no idea why they went with AMD processors instead of the upcoming Ivy Bridge E Xeon E5s, which will run circles around the best AMD has to offer...

The NSA is currently the largest employer of mathematicians in the US. To think they haven't found anything of use would be naive at best. http://www.nsa.gov/research/tech_transfer/advanced_math/

Using the information as a basis for arrest or prosecution is what I'd call 'big brother'. But I'm not 100% confident in that definition

Complete proof that the government is using things like PRISM in a big brother sort of way, even though I dislike what they're doing now, I don't know what they're using it for - just yet.

If you want to see the work being done done on this, http://people.mozilla.org/~jwein/ux-nightly/ has nightly builds of the Australis UX overhaul. It's still hugely WIP though

Would it be possible to recreate font awesome in pure CSS? Or would it just not be worth it?

But in addition to steam games being cheap, steam has turned into an absolutely wonderful service, no more worrying about serial codes or patches or losing the discs. I have a lot of games on steam that I haven't been able to play yet, but

I think that may not be the case - it may be more that Haskell is a fabulous language to write compilers and parsers in, and so lots of compilers and parsers are written in it :)

Any chance you could explain this? I don't see how Coldfusion is a secret weapon, but I'm probably missing the point here.

There's an awesome library that goes by the name of Polyvox that does exactly this. It's worth a look if you're interested in voxel-y things.

Canonical will learn that soon enough anyways, with everything surrounding Mir. And I'm glad. Their current way of doing things reminds me a lot of how GitHub works with open source, with the major difference that where GitHub builds comple

That is an absolutely awesome writeup. Thanks! Been looking for something like that for a while now.

Or even if there was a simple, detailed guide on what your own OAuth needs to do to be secure - and a basic overview of how to implement it (not language specific, just concept-wise).

Asm.js? Emscripten? WebRTC? Come on, Mozilla has really been pushing the limits of the web lately, in new and interesting ways that no one else will try.

You have to be careful though, as SQLite doesn't support concurrent read/writes, so it blocks, which makes it rather difficult to scale up for websites, or at least it has in my experience with it.

Slightly off topic, but has anyone built an Excel-esque program on top of SQL? I feel like something of the sort could really be an improvement, as now it'd be easy for end users (who normally use excel) and developers to collaborate on the

Python has bindings for pretty much everything, so I'd imagine that the database you're most familiar with, or that there is the most information on (most likely MySQL, Postgres, or SQLite)

Similar story here - but with XFCE. It's awesome to map xfce-terminal to dropdown mode and use it as a quake style terminal.
