I was wondering what niche this filled and now that you say it, yes, this does seem like a nice compromise between Java and Scala (The F# of the JVM?) In general, these "traditional OOP with functional flare" languages are a very

True, though I'd think it would be easier to exploit a torrent client than a browser.

Did I imply it had something to do with twitter? When this conjecture was posted I assumed someone hijacked a CDN used by twitter and used the twitt button as an attack vector by making it redirect to a torrent file. I'm not saying twi

The flow of a (possible) attack is something like this: 1. User configures browser to automatically start torrent downloads when a ".torrent" link is clicked 2. User clicks twitt button which leads to a torrent file 3. The file is

It implies downloading a file onto the users machine without user consent which is, in itself, a problem. More importantly, an attacker could craft a torrent file that exploits vulnerabilities in the torrent client. If, just by visiting a

This seems like a major security issue, since some browsers (Chrome, at the very least, and probably others) can be set to automatically open a torrent client when links to .torrent files are clicked. Is it possible someone hijacked this IP

The moment I see an open source repository for this I'm going to contribute the hell out of it. This need to exist. This has to exist.

I think this solves the problem with 2-factor authentication really well. I use 2-factor auth on my Google and Dropbox accounts but it's really frustrating that I have to use the second factor (my phone) and think about another layer o

Yeah, seriously, what's the verdict? And where's the formalization itself? Show me the code, I have a whole worldview I need to re-evaluate here. Edit: Seems like this is the code - https://github.com/FormalTheolog

Actually, I say "string" and then drop the bass for the square brackets.

It is a lot like a server-side user script but it runs on any platform including all mobile devices and without installing anything. Anyone can use this. On the other hand, try sending your grandma a user script, see what happens.

In this case I think it's OK because it's a parody. In general, I think it's for the good of the company if their service receives more usage because someone made it better, isn't it?

You're partially correct. I do sing them, not necessarily in my head.

Not a mnemonic per se but I have melodies for common code snippets. "public static void Main(string[] args)", which is the default method signature for the main method in C#, is a hip-hop beat. SQL statements are always metal tune

The Editable Web is definitely the next big thing, but this is too narrow scoped, I think. There's a company called Tomodo (where I work) that allows you to modify any website and publish it as an independent one. Rellay cool stuff. Ch

AFAIK Dart isn't very widely used, but I'll check if there's a JS compiler for that.

I'll look into that, thanks for the feedback

Great work, though it's a shame it's a browser extension. You can't use it on Firefox or mobile. There's a site, tomodo.com, that allows you to modify webpages much like a greasemonkey script or a browser extension and t

jsFiddle already has support for forking, but I guess you could add something like "fork to Gist". I'll look into that, thanks for the feedback!

I won't even start with my thoughts on the collection business but I will point out you're trying to disrupt a market which is traditionally controlled by criminals. I'd watch out if I were you.
