I recently found an interesting issue [1] filed in public on the GitHub repository of a fork of a popular extension. Here are archived versions of the URLs mentioned in the issue: Without "partner extension": http://arc

Been there done that. If you catch all e-mail you will also get a lot of spam to random addresses like say sven@marak.com, lollerskates95@marak.com and so on and so forth. So then you need spam filtering anyway, or you need to configure whi

Cool. I suggest having it generate a diagram as soon as the page loads, because when I saw the black canvas I assumed that there was a problem with the WebGL support in my browser.

Speaking of microkernels, MINIX 3 is open source, unlike the version of MINIX that inspired Linus to write Linux. MINIX 3, unlike earlier versions, aims to be used in production rather than being purely a research OS. MINIX 3 has incorporat

I too have been thinking about alternatives to hierarchial filesystems. Originally I thought that I wanted a tag based system, but currently I believe that tagging adds too much overhead and that it might not scale well either for the user

Someone should make a list of all words and common phrases that result in a color different from #000000 and then go through them all and pick out the interesting ones. By the way I didn't see any mention of max length. Is there a limi

That is a good point, and it makes sense to think of it that way. However I think that it can also be a bit "dangerous" to think too much in terms of the properties of the numbers when working with software due to the fact that fo

One advantage of the FPGA is that you can reprogram it to do something else after you're bored with it acting as a C64, assuming in this case that you are able to desolder it. Also might only make sense to reuse the FPGA if it is suffi

> incidentally depending on non-zero numbers to become True, and zero to become False I don't feel that there is anything incidental about that. Integer zero is logically false and any other integer is logically true.

I use parentheses liberally so I don't have to think about precedence so much both when writing and when later reading. That said I don't add unneeded parentheses for simple expressions or sub-expressions consisting only of expone

A bit off topic on my side here but, I've been a aware of both OpenCL and FPGAs for quite a while but never thought of these being combined in any way. Would anyone care to comment on their experience with regards to the following ques
