OSX keychain runs as root. The user is prompted if an app asks for an entry in the keychain that it has not created the entry and has not explicitly been granted access to the entry You need root to get at the keys otherwise. There is cod

Honestly, I haven't looked into it. The bounding box thing sounds messy. But on chrome, firefox, and probably safari, it appears that you can call document.getSelection() in a click handler, and the returned object will be an appropria

Python does reference counting. The downside is that you can leak memory if you have circular references. The programmer needs to take care to not let this happen. (This is essentially the cause of the Javascript memory leaks in IE, althou

Metafont, the scalable font system for TeX, had per-printer definitions to adjust the font's bitmap rendering for a specific printer. This stackexchange answer briefly describes those parameters: http://tex.stackexchange

I suspect the best way to make rich text editing work across browsers is to do what the current google docs editor does: Drop contentEditable and just implement your own editor in javascript. Read key and mouse events and manipulate the DOM

How are they with spam? I'd just run my own mail, but I can't beat Google's spam filtering. (They have millions of email accounts, real time, as a data source.)

All I see locally is a ".onecache" file - a binary file that appears to contain the notes themselves, and a directory named "OneNoteOfflineCache_Files" of attachments (embedded images, etc.) I don't recognize the h

Evernote's documentation says they "recommend" Google Authenticator, but I've never managed to set it up because their setup process requires SMS. (Is the TOTP support premium only?)

Where? I'm logged in, and the download link in the dev center sends me to the XCode page, which then sends me to the app store, which still has the old version of XCode. (This will probably get sorted out in a few hours - the store di

You can also just create a *.user.js file and drop it on the extensions page. (Still works in chrome 35.)

You can try ad-blocking font urls. (I've done this in the past to get rid of a hideous heading font on some apache site.)

Mine started failing a few months outside the replacement period (3 years). I was due for a new work laptop, so I just replaced the machine.

It's like awk, except that you match entry/exit of syscalls, function calls, method invocations (in ObjC/Java), and give code to execute with access to arguments, return values, stack trace, etc. It can be used to write tools

Leanpub is using markdown for books. And O'Reilly sometimes uses Asciidoc, which is similar to markdown.

It's possible to tweak it yourself. If you're in Chrome, save this gist to hn.user.js, edit to taste, and drop the file on the extensions page. https://gist.github.com/dunhamsteve/8572389

They're required to put up those signs at least 48hrs ahead, but good luck contesting it. My sister-in-law was hit with the same thing, done by "Precision Engineering". She tells me that if you actually could prove they didn&

The Simile group at MIT did something similar back around 2006. Automatic identification of collections in web pages (repeated structures), detection of fields by doing tree comparisons between the repeated structures, and fetching of subse

Does it work offline at all? I took a brief look at the API, and it seemed like any time you wanted to make a change to the data it needed to talk to the server.

FWIW, on OSX Evernote stores everything locally in a future-proof format. They use a directory tree, with one directory per note. Each note has HTML file, all supporting files, an "enml" version of the HTML file (i.e. a HTML-like

What about multiple "users" in Chrome? If you go to the settings page, you can add additional "users" and then open a window as another "user" using the icon in the upper right corner. Each user gets their own

You need to factor in speedups due to advances in factoring algorithms, too. And it's possible that the software doesn't have any options between 2048 and 4096. (I have no idea, I didn't check.)

I use Ghostery/Adblock, but I have found that it breaks some web sites (whose javascript expects the tracking code to be loaded). BTW, if you're using Chrome, you might also want to look into the "Users" section of prefe

When I first tried this, years ago, I found it too awkward. I eventually settled on using my thumbs for five, and my fingers for single digits (like a Japanese abacus). This feels reasonably comfortable to me, is easy to use, and covers a s
