   This test was clearly written in a time in which a cup of coffee was $0.06. :-) In all seriousness it took me like 5 readings to figure out what was being asked for this question.

   It always makes me sad when people don't support linux. Especially when they are starting the design for Mac, it shouldn't be that hard to compile for both.

   Is this python 2 or 3? Your description said that you didn't allow underscores, but if this is python 2, people would still be able to run threads (threads were renamed _thread in python 3).

   Not me, but I read about a contest that was similar to this. Unfortunately I can't find a link but the general idea was that people could write worms under a very small size limit and fight for control of memory much like this game.

   You can also use it to run things like a daemon. For instance rtorrent does not have a daemon mode because you can use screen or tmux to "hide" it by running it in tmux and then detaching. You can then re-attach to the processes t

   I switched because it has vertical and horizontal splitting (although I think screen has this too now) and because my vim colorscheme looked different in a normal vte than it did in screen. Screen seemed to have problems handling transparen

   This is probably the coolest site I have seen in terms of reactiveness. They even had the insight to have the backgrounds of the videos the same color as the site background. Awesome!

   I do not believe that Wayland would provide this functionality, rather that it would provide separation to enable this functionality. This functionality would be implemented in a compositor for Wayland. There is something similar for X, cal

   I am very much rooting for Wayland. It is going to bring features like screen/tmux to graphical programs. Nothing like going to work at home mid day and attaching to the individual programs that you had running on your other machine. T

    This site could be much nicer if they used javascript to render the latex equations, most of them are already in latex anyways (without the $ signs).

    Are there any tutorials on this so that we can compare it to emscripten?

    by blueblob 13y ago

    Definitely. I don't think it would be that bad on a 1024x768, but widescreen it's really bright. EDIT: By the way, you can make it readable with: document.getElementById("wrapper").style.backgroundColor='white'

    I think it is pretty hard to argue that they are not one of the most aggressive entities doing this.

    Have you guys had a problem with people scripting tweets? I know there are some command line twitter clients like TTYter.

    According to the out of office thing, at 8:10 AM EDT these guys have lunch, and a 4 hour and 50 minute one at that. I wonder when they have breakfast.

    I think Java is bigger in terms of the amount of classes/methods that there are to remember. Perhaps I compare them unfairly because I consider everything in the SDK to be a part of Java, whereas the things people might usually bundle

    I cannot comment on Ruby. I, personally, think Java is a much bigger language than (base without other scripts included) Javascript. Of the two, I prefer Java for it's strong types. My biggest problem with Javascript is that if I mak

    both gedit and notepad++ have plugins for colored parens.

    by blueblob 13y ago

    I don't see how lisp could get rid of parends with indentation. Parends are used for function calls so you would then have to indent one extra level to call a function? If there was a workaround for the function calls, then it would al

    But how much further out do you have to detect it to do this?

    I think many people that don't like lisp haven't spent much time with it. I personally do not like lisp. I took an artificial intelligence class where we wrote search techniques in common lisp. One problem that I had with lisp is

    I think that perhaps excessive salaries of some actors/actresses might die out. Digital distribution should be making things cheaper. Entertainment is already very expensive because people are willing to pay for it. It is made more exp

    Sorry for the aside, this opened for me in pdf.js in firefox (on archlinux) and the font rendered very poorly, but when I downloaded it and looked at it in zathura (vi-like pdf viewer) the font looked fine. Does anybody know what I can do t

    I am currently a graduate student and I can say that I, without a doubt, worry about the quality of my code. I worry about this because I have to rely on other student-written code that often does not perform as advertised. I refactor both

    I pasted my key in to check. Came out as: "Factorable RSA Key Check Pass! This RSA key is not known to be factorable." I would have felt uncomfortable checking my publicly available TLS or SSH server because if it comes back a fai

    The argument is pretty simple: if you destroy the advertising revenue that content depends on, we’ll end up in a cultural wasteland, or, worse, a culture plagued by advertising that masquerades as content. Isn't this true for things

    also www.sharelatex.com is almost the same and there is an open source project called flylatex that is trying to provide something similar: http://alabidan.me/2012/07/31/flylatex-a-real-time-collabora... This

    You can change the bindings for keys. I think Pyroscope is what you are talking about for the plugin? Archlinux provides rtorrent-pyro in the AUR which you could use without patching.
