While I would agree normally, I think for this very special purpose it's okay to replace scrolling. This is not meant to be a website, but rather a short presentation.

This is really cool and it's the first time I see this project. Is there still progress going on? The last commit was 3 months ago. Unfortunately, the error reporting of the live demo isn't very helpful at this stage. I quickly ran into som

I'd happily accept a bigger memory consumption in exchange for threaded/multi-process tabs. Does anyone know how the current state of that project is? The main reason that keeps me with Chrome is that in Chrome a single tab's JavaScript goi

There's more to it than what Sass, Less and co. can provide. It simplifies dynamically changing a bunch of CSS properties from JavaScript a lot. Instead of changing all the elements using a particular style, you could now change just the va

It shouldn't be more than changing those two lines: https://github.com/mitsuhiko/itsdangerous/blob/59f3bf7877e21... And the tests, of course.

What's the worst thing that could happen? It's only on the frontpage because there are obviously a lot of people interested in this, including me.

In pypy, __del__ isn't called at all for this example, unless you force the garbage collector to run with gc.collect(). Very interesting post!

The games I tried on Linux so far, have been really high-quality ports. I know icculus did quite a few of them. I haven't played that many, though.
