   My impression is (for the US) that trains are the optimal way to connect major cities, while buses are good for connecting smaller cities. Ideally, of course, one would have a dense rail network connecting even small towns, as Germany does,

   The train between Washington DC and New York City is (slightly) faster door-to-door than driving, without going particularly fast. It’s at least two hours faster than taking the bus. In addition, it’s infinitely more comfortable than either

   Yeah, I definitely don't. But I think a persistent "auto-play" toggle (default "off") is ok.

   Video should never play unless actively initiated by the user. That would fix the metrics, as the headless browser probably wouldn't initiate the video playback

   What I had in mind was basically FUSE (like https://github.com/joe42/CloudFusion ). I don't think it would violate sandboxing, but it's probably very non-trivial to implement in this kind of app

   Yeah, my point exactly! If Pythonista can be on the app store, then why not a full shell?

   Great idea! Definitely calls for aliases, though.

   There's Blink (blink.sh) already for that use case

   My person impression is: not really at this time. But it's a pretty amazing proof of concept, and could grow into something immensely useful (a full local shell). I'm really glad this is open source, so there is the potential for

    I thought Apple significantly relaxed the rules on running external code inside an app. Pythonista is pretty powerful these days. So I'd be hopeful a full shell with scripting support could make it into the store (still sandboxed, of c

    Any app can access e.g. Dropbox directly, no? It'd just have to "display" it as a filesystem. Probably too much work..

    Another idea: would it be possible to mount cloud providers (Dropbox, iCloud, etc)?

    Would it be possible to have an 'open' command that opens any file in their respective app? Maybe even configurable aliases like 'vim' to open files in a specific app (iVim) -- hence my other comment about support for a

    Very nice so far! Could this run an actual shell (bash), with support for a .bashrc (aliases!) and readline? Could there be compatiblity wrappers for rsync/scp, falling back to curl? I'm also not that into green on black. Any plan

    Fundamentally, I don't see why not. You're not saying whether you have someone who mentors you on this project. If not, I would strongly suggest that you try to find a mentor (a university professor working in the field, or at le

    Fastmail can both send and receive your gmail address (even proxying through Google's SMTP server). So it's easy to switch over gradually, and quietly keep your existing address indefinitely

    They're generally great, except for the fact that the iOS client does not allow to send plain text emails. The settings are there, but broken (and have been for about two years). I've reported the bug to them, but they literally t

    For the love of god, PLEASE include a scale. It's not a map if it doesn't have a scale (and not just when zooming). Looks nice otherwise!

    That's why I tend to link to the anchor of the README title, if I can, e.g. https://github.com/ibm/type#ibm-type Something I picked up from @jsvine, who pointed out that when they open-source their data stuff from

    I remember hearing that vim8 added some of the concurrency for plugins that neovim introduced. At the time, it sounded like this was done in a non-compatible way. I haven't really followed up with this, so I'm wondering if that&#x

    There's someone working towards this as part of the Blink app for iOS: https://github.com/blinksh/blink/pull/281 I could see this getting onto the app store eventually.

    That would be fine! Although, I also don't think "best practices" would be something that changes every 6 months (maybe every 5 years), and being forced by the compiler to rewrite code to keep up with best practices is absolu

    by goerz 9y ago

    I yearn for compilers that can break backwards-compatiblity and strictly enforce best practices. This should be a achieved with a relatively simple command line flag to the compiler (instead of hunting for the right combination of dozens of

    Answering my own question: EnableSecureEventInput does not protect from processes that have root privileges, see https://security.stackexchange.com/questions/47749/how-secur... A good way to check whether EnableSe

    So are there any keyloggers for MacOS in the wild that still manage to capture keystrokes with EnableSecureEventInput, or can I consider this as "secure"? Also, is there a way to tell when/for which processes EnableSecureEven
