Are you thinking of EXTPROC/LINEMODE? There's outstanding patches to bash, telnet, and ssh to support these, which enables local line-editing that works smarter than just local echo. TIOCPKT_IOCTL(EXTPROC) and TIOCSIG support landed in Lin

My workaround is to click an element, then type into console $0.appendChild(document.createElement('tagName')) but yeah, a [+] button would be nice…

Android WebKit and Chrome use V8.

Browser's gone from the stock image on the Nexus 4, 7, and 10. android.webkit.WebView is still the same Android WebKit engine that Browser used (whether it's installed or not); Chrome brings along its own WebKit port.

Not true. Internet Explorer used to work with both NSAPI and ActiveX plugins, until they pulled support for the former. """Netscape-style plug-ins are supported in Internet Explorer 5.5 Service Pack 1 (SP1) and earlier, but are not support

After switching between keyboards with Esc in different places, I've learned to use Ctrl-[ instead. Can hit it without moving that far, and it works just as well in GVim as it does in all terminal programs. The only downside is

Nope, <file ./command --args and even ./command <file --args works fine in Bash and Zsh.

As far as I know, it's an avoidance for a WebKit bug wherein elements' pixel positions and sizes are simply wrong at non-default zoom levels; see https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=60318 and all related.

As said above, it's only Win32 that's broken. NT filenames (e.g. \\?\...) aren't limited by MAX_PATH.

Chrome bundles a PDF renderer. (You won't find it in the open Chromium sources; it's by proprietary license from a third party.) http://blog.chromium.org/2010/06/bringing-improved-pdf-suppo... It's already sandboxed and pretty fast and l

I'm not sure if you can access its state programmatically, but Android already does detection: the WiFi status icon is green if the system can make a connection to Google's servers, and grey otherwise. IPv[46] have nothing to do with it. "

I have not profiled the code, but I expect that the Newtonian approximation of sqrt is the slowest part. It would surprise me if "powers" was a big problem relative to the rest. And no shortcuts: each of [1, b b², b³, b⁴, b⁵, …] (up to n)

Hmm, I screwed up and wrote iterate instead of iterate' where I intended. Not that it really makes a difference. In any case, the average time to print the first 20 Fibonacci numbers is 0.4157ms with matrix exponentiation and 1.707063s wit

Wikipedia says "Intel still holds an ARM license even after the sale of XScale." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XScale I don't know if it's true five years later now, though.

Are you on OS X Leopard? My understanding is that the out-of-process rendering used by Chrome forces blitting the whole page from the child process to the parent chrome on systems predating Snow Leopard.

Do you? http://chromium.hybridsource.org/the-iron-scam At a glance, it doesn't seem like much has changed. Some more tweaks and a minor amount of development.

It may be the Java plugin crashing when loading the applet. Try disabling it.
