   Do you have any ideas about how to handle taking your hand off the mouse?

   How would you feel about something shaped like the prototype? https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-CUDaxDwJyR0/UA1sdGipv4I/A... Hehe.

   Thanks for the ideas! With light sensors, do you mean that the fingers would normally cover them and when you lift them off the sensors they would detect that? That's pretty clever. Although you'd have to make sure that when your fingers ar

   Good question! It's possible that this will eventually happen, but I think it's unlikely for 2 reasons: Lots of stuff goes through a small area in the carpal tunnel so it's easy for it to all rub too much and get irritated. My understanding

    Re-posting my reply as an actual reply in case you don't see my top level comment: Thanks! Using touch sensors that detect when you lift your fingers is an interesting idea. I bet it would be more difficult than buttons. Maybe version 2? :-

    That's probably the same as the non-assert check EXCEPT that release builds might disable assertions and then you're in trouble.

    My understanding is that this penalty can be mitigated by telling the compiler which way a branch is likely to go so it can optimize the generated code appropriately. I know the linux kernel uses what I think is a gcc specific extension to

    In the context of a browser plugin, "quit" could just mean to stop executing and throw up an error message. It doesn't necessarily mean to end the whole process (browser).
