SNI is already plenty viable if you have few/no IE users. That's certainly not everyone, but it's good enough for some of us.

Faster than LuaJIT? At what? Did you run benchmarks to back that up? That's a very strong claim, and I've never heard anyone make it before. LuaJIT is unbelievably fast. I'd be extremely curious to see the proof. (As a side n

Unfortunately, xkcd (along with NYTimes and probably others) link to CSS/JS resources at http:// URLs, which defeats the security of HTTPS. The next version of Firefox will block mixed content in these cases, and being on t

I hadn't heard of ChannelID before now, but that draft is clearly talking about client, not server authentication; it's a way for you to prove to HN that you're really 'codeka', not a way for HN to prove to you that

TACK ( http://tack.io/ ), if widely implemented, would help a lot. As I understand it, if you visited a website regularly before it was compromised, then any future compromise along the lines described in the article (i.e.,

It's not a terrible apology, I suppose, but I'm with Tim Maly on calling blaming the algorithm a bit of a dodge, in this brilliant critique/analysis of the whole situation: http://quietbabylon.com/2013/al

Hmm, on Firefox 23.0a2 I just see a white box with nothing there. Usually this means an addon is interfering somehow. But I turned off AdBlock, Ghostery, HTTPS Everywhere, Flashblock and Greasemonkey, which is basically everything, and relo

Another excellent test case is the track "Second Bad Vilbel" by Autechre. The rockets at the beginning pose an insurmountable challenge for most codecs. Last I checked, MP3 at any bitrate couldn't do it, and Ogg Vorbis fell d

Why aren't we already? It's new, unproven and most of us haven't even heard of it yet. A quick glance at the website suggests you have to install a native program, which, compared to a web app, adds friction, makes it harder

Ah, it's intentionally minimalist. That's cool too. Perhaps a small, unobtrusive link to about.scri.ch to explain the philosophy would be in order then.

This is cool, but it badly needs an erase feature. Also, setting a title/permalink for the finished drawing would be nice. Any plans to develop it more?

Yeah, I got the same. Do you have Flashblock? Try whitelisting seriouslyjs.org and reloading. Fixed it for me on Fx 23.0a2. (Note: This comment was originally complaining that the link didn't work in Firefox; edited when I found the cause.)

Tried this out on Firefox 23 (Aurora)... it printed a long string of silly error messages ("Making more coffee..." "wow you chose a BIG file!") without actually doing anything, then froze the browser. After restarting, on the second try Fir

Got it. Yup, right now the site is only interesting if you have someone sitting next to you to share the computer with. The next step would be to add a server-side backend and allow playing online, if I end up revisiting this project. FYI,

This is the most illuminating reply in the subthread for me. Very good point, thanks for the clear explanation.
