You can probably just replace the electrolytic capacitors in it, they probably just dried out.

It can also be produced by the heating process, even if it is not an ingredient. The levels are very small, however.

Yes. In elixir and erlang, you can call a function without knowing whether it will wait on an asynchronous message. The function you called will not return until the message is received or a timeout is reached.

Awesome, I knew about PlayChoice when I was a kid, but I never knew about VS Super Mario Bros. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NcRHqfBhTh4 It really does look quite a bit harder.

What? The MDD is a relatively rarer model that has some sought-after capabilities. :-( Should have put it on ebay to give it a happy home.

Thanks for the tip, that's really useful info.

Hi Jamie. That's some really interesting insight, thanks! I'm toying with generators in javascript now and I can see forgetting the yield being an issue. The other reply to your comment seems to suggest there is a solution though,

by fzzzy 12y ago
"yield from" isn't available on Python 2.7, maybe that's why they switched?

Yes. This isn't the one I remember seeing a few years ago, but I can't remember what that was, and this is what is coming up for me now when I search for the concept: http://www.filabot.com/

Mini vMac is an excellent emulator for the Mac Plus. I have quite a collection of old mac software that I backed up from my original floppies, and I'm glad I did. Who knows how much longer those would have survived before they all had

That feature was in MacPaint, released in 1984. It used command-option instead of shift, though. Page 19 of this manual: http://classiccomputers.info/down/Apple/MacPaint_Manual_-_19...

Yes, some specifics about the architecture, such as APZ and multiprocess architecture, are currently Firefox OS only, but this is because of backwards compatibility limitations with Firefox Desktop. Hopefully some day the desktop browser ca

by fzzzy 13y ago
They share the same renderer codebase, Gecko. You are correct that advances for the OS benefit the browser, and vice versa.

Ok, I believe you, it's been over 10 years since I tried it :-) Maybe I was thinking of the forever iframe, where a regular application/javascript document had content added to it incrementally over time.

According to those links, they still support it for images, but removed support for other types of resources. It's too bad IE never supported multipart/x-mixed-replace or we might have seen more live updating websites earlier. Now

I don't think there is anything wrong with that wording.

You are correct that there is currently not an API to populate the menu bar. Regarding app scaling, It's up to each app developer to do the required work to have a responsive design, using existing web techniques.

by fzzzy 13y ago
Yes, Linux is already supported, but the desktop platforms are a little behind Firefox OS and Android with some niche features. They will catch up in the near future.

by fzzzy 13y ago
Yes. Thanks for reminding me to look at it again though. I think it might be a little slower than I would like, but I will try again.

Then get a nexus 4 and compile and flash b2g on it. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Firefox_OS/...

While I would love the rest of es6 the only things I really really want for the project I am working on are generators and sandboxes. I tried implementing sandboxing a little while back by cleaning the global namespace after every tick and

Completely awesome. I was going to use Continuum just because I wanted generators client side, but it was too slow. Thanks for doing this!

It is true that communication between processes is more difficult, but solving ipc also allows distributing actors across the network for free, so there is a lot of advantage to be gained by allowing for out of process actors. I don't

One thing required for an Actor model that is missing from greenlets and Python in general is the ability to have isolated contexts. Basically, each Actor should have its own global state and shouldn't be able to share state with any m
