I'm an emacs user, not vim, but I have some idea. My tmux.conf reads like this: unbind C-b set -g prefix ` bind-key ` send-prefix This removes Ctrl-b as the tmux prefix, sets it to ` (backquote) instead, and makes pressing ` twi

The conclusion contains a paragraph that matches my initial reaction to the headline and opening. "It seems that the experiment at least does not contradict with a common believe that is often articulated in the area of type systems: that

I had a phone with a terrible web browser, a tiny screen, and ridiculous charges for bandwidth before that. MapQuest likely had a terrible mobile site for it to talk to. I think it's likely that I theoretically had maps on my phone 8, 9, or

I think the last time I looked at it, it required an invite. I didn't care enough to give them an email address. Or maybe it was the same as now: the front page has "login in with Facebook" and "log in with Twitter" as the only actions. I

While I don't think it's what the reporter meant either, at least one bridge has been stolen before. http://old.post-gazette.com/pg/11280/1180364-455.stm#ixzz1a9... I can't find the weight of that bridge directly, nor how they arrived at

A couple of years ago, my wife, who is relatively computer savvy (not compared to HN users, just to the general public) tried to buy a Miley Cyrus album for a young acquaintance. Instead she got a Miles Cyrus album, which was a guy singing

It's Google. They'll be free. To make up the cost, they will just slow down near Google billboards.

Not working for me either, but my desktop browser has to go through a proxy at work. I suspect that's what's wrong here. I will try it again at home later.

That's great! Unless you're playing it online you're not really hitting my code, I did the networking for both. CC2 had a completely rewritten network layer, one of the very few client-server RTS's I know of. I left part way through deve

YouTube links do open the YouTube app, but embedded YouTube videos also work just fine inline. If you open youtube.com in the browser, videos also play in the browser. Vimeo and other video sites also play directly in the browser, no app

Not in Safari, but there are other browsers like Terra ( http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/terra-web-browser-tabs-full/i... ) that let you select a User-Agent. Sites that do this are pretty much the only reason I have Terra on my iPad.

The cassette loading method is going to limit this to games that fit entirely in RAM and never access their disk once loaded. That's going to rule out a lot of games. Obviously anything that needs more than one floppy, but even a lot of g

While I'm not for this action, Vector Tanks (not the Extreme sequel) bears more than a "vague resemblance" to Battlezone. It's a vector-for-vector clone as far as I could tell. There is legal precedent for outright clones being banned, and

I just read what someone I've never met wrote about the experience of buying a ladle, then read what a few other people thought about it, and finally wrote something myself on the subject. What the hell is wrong with ME?

Yeah, I agree, I was just responding to the article, "But the hack may not last long, with Mr Schappi predicting Apple would want to close the hole he exploited." On the other hand, Apple gets uppity in sometimes unpredictable ways.

Siri can open my garage door. http://rumsey.org/blog/2011/11/voice-controlled-garage-door/ It's not quite as slick as his solution, but having to say "Text House" in front of commands is a small price, and there's no way Apple can "close

Even more problematic, I tried searching for zmq_init, to see if it would be useful for finding how other people had used a specific API function, and it seems like it treats an underscore just like a space. Not one result on the first pag

Being an emacs user, C-a was never practical. I always set mine to ` (backtick). Except when writing shell scripts, it's surprising how little it actually comes up, and learning to type it twice when you actually want one is not hard. It

I think Karateka, 5 years before Prince of Persia, was the first rotoscoped game. Jordan Mechner made both of them though.
