It seems like a well written tutorial, not to worded, not to terse, and should be a good introduction, that gives a broad overview of Unix. -And not Unix on OsX, which saddens me, all the time the author has made it on a Mac. C'mon, ju

PopcornTime is performing badly on my machine, I actually have to shut down the browser to use it, I usally have 50+ tabs open in it, -that I use.

The short definition would be: "node.js is something that eats up my browsers latency", something along those lines, and as far as I am concerned, that is everything I have to know about it. Node.js is a no stop for me.

That may be so, but when I run something with Node.js in my browser, then I may have to close other things. So, wherever it runs, it really uses too much resources, and therefore I find it as a bad idea from the consumer perspective. It sho

I haven't tried Mongo.db, but Node.js takes up a lot of resources in a browser, Node.js apps feels a bit like the widest book strategy in the bookstore, you have to shove other stuff out of your browser, in order to use stuff that uses

You should really consider something other than LaTeX as a publishing platform, or make it look better, when taking it from draft format to publishing format. This doesn't communicate that algorithms are fun. An algorithm book, should

This was really a fascinating read, well written, and the information was levelled correctly, for someone not involved in the subject. Interesting.

Debuggex worked best for me, dabbling with PCRE. I just wish the fonts was somehow bettter on a mac.

The first part doesn't intrigue me at all, because I can easily import an objective C-class into an AppleScriptObjectC app. I guess something like that works for Swift as well. AppleScript in itself, can't do that, but I can call

I concur. The emotions the imagery invoked in me was a rare experience, technology hasn't invoked such feelings for years. So not sure if it is feeling associated with art, but still, it made me happy, and I do acknowledge the work as

If this interests somebody, then I suggest they'd read "The Unix Programming Environment" By B.W Kernighan, and Rob. Pike. It gives you the concepts, and learns you tools like yacc, that lets you off a lot of tedious tasks wh

It is a great fun to compute Planetary positions. You should really read a book named "Astronomical Algorithms" by Jean Meeus. That is the ultimate source for those computations, for hobby use. (There is a really nice chapter in t

I agree totally. The level of violence for instance in your society, may be something you are used to, but others may not be inclined to make the move into such an environment.

What I got out of this essay, which I found to be good, is that you should investigate your hunches, more deliberately before dismissing them. That is hindsightly (From my hindsights :) )a great wisdom from Paul Graham.

This is an insightful thread on Macscripter.net, about how bad the javascript implementation on OS X really is. The dev team that implements JavaScript on OS X have even been provided with a reference implementation that does stuff the righ

If you are on a mac, then you can really do all this with Apple Script, which also is a bit small talk alike, and that by Maverick, can let you create libraries quite easy. I use it a lot as a calculator, when I don't use it for autmat

I have no problems with getting emails by a search warrant from an overseas server. Drug trafficking is global, so should the law enforcement be. I know, I am addressing this particular case, I am not saying "go" on a general basi

I'm not saying that it is a 'cure all', but actually make -n lets you dry run, and test out your rules before you actually use them (with "touch"), and in most cases I'm sure that that is faster than both r

Me too. I use make together with a markdown compiler, and the m4 preprocessor, to keep devdocs up to date, in one huge document, where everything is included, and the various sections as stand-alone docs. The markdown version of the section

At the moment you can't even drag and drop a url from the browser. I think I'll stick with the somewhat mediocre Notes.app that are included with OS X for the moment. If we take away all the gloss, and the fact that you can't

Hello. Thanks for sharing! I also found the BBedit plugin, so that I can edit it from the TaskPaper link above. Here is a simple AppleScript to install it, when you don't have administrative rights on your user account: do shell

Since I'm an adult, I' wont reply to this by saying: "emacs has more likely fucked you over." OS X is on the other hand sexy, since you can build emacs-keybindings into the OS and every app that uses the Cocoa Text Syste

I liked most of the generalizations in the blog post,I think that if he isn't 100% right, then at least he is really on to something. The place I balked, is where he said that design patterns are almost dead. I find design pattersn to
