Ah, gotcha. That's not the absolute end of the world. I've been using https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/jonikckfpolfcdcgdf... (on standard Linux) for ages myself.

Huh. I never really thought of the practical ramifications of a fully open-source browser... Although now I'm wondering what API keys they compiled Chromium with. :v

Is it really harder to change the new tab page in Chrome OS anymore? Wow.

Wow. This kind of thing is not particularly easy to google for - know anywhere I might be able to find out more about this?

I just thought of a bizarre but interesting idea - an i3/i5-capable server motherboard with IPMI, and a rock-solid router running OpenVPN in front of the IPMI port. Maybe fractionally higher power consumption, and perhaps you'd ne

Ah, so sometimes people do get dropped out. I'm not surprised. Very interesting, working for free is (for hilarious reasons) something I could probably pull off right now. I'm curious what kind of work this was - was it more gen

Wow, so the credits are really that thorough? That's awesome to hear. I also now have new respect for movies with really short credits - I'd wondered if there were any positions deemed "too irrelevant" and not included.

Huh, the books it's showing are really interesting too! PS, it's a periodic XHR to http://map.bookdepository.com/browse/map.json , which gives back one thing. Just in case you were interested...

http://video.fosdem.org/2014/Janson/Sunday/NSA_operation_ORC... (46:05) (that link is a 302) I was reminded of this video by Paol-Henning Kamp (2014) when I read this. It sort of gets at the same set of ideas

I unfortunately don't have a source, but "assassin" and "KickStarter" do ring vague bells, I remember reading this too. TL;DR, come back in a bit.

Hi, I just wanted to say kudos for this little reply thread. Many times I've seen someone on HN write a negative/flaming reply to a comment, which then nets a bunch of further agreement and consensus, and the original commentator

It's like someone wanted to write the ultimate PHP OS-management framework. PHP is installed virtually anywhere, unbelievably fast (really!), achieves most tasks with a reasonable minimum of boilerplate (okay, okay, within reason) whil

I found this explanation of Xiph.org's Daala (2013) very interesting and enlightening in terms of understanding video encoding: https://xiph.org/daala/ Related: BPG is an open source lossless format for images tha

TL;DR: Chrome is taking a leaf out of PHP's silently-and-confusingly-make-it-work book, and stripping the "//" in "cache://".

Oh - the "it" in the second sentence is referring to the thingy in the video, not Google. Bit ambiguous, just noticed, can't edit my post now.

I had a huge problem with not trying to Google stuff myself for an incredibly long time. I think it's something about the fact that we know the algorithm isn't perfect, and fear the effort required to find what we're lookin

Ah, I remember that! I tried searching for "cable suspended cockpit", which netted me this immediately: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cJCsomGwdk0

Aha! That's what it was, you're right.

A form of this has existed for a while but never caught on for fairly understandable reasons. Quite a few years ago (2005?) a family member purchased a Samsung-branded dumbphone on a contract. (Monochrome LCD (something like 128x64?), polyp

Duly noted, thanks. Hardware has long been a mystery to me, but it never really clicked (the epiphany never really happened) that the direction to go in to solve that mystery was to mess around with writing a toy OS. I get that now (and fin

Welp, meant to reply, then completely forgot... > OpenBSD dropped 32-bit sparc support. And 32-bit Intel CPU support only? MirOS isn't interested in supporting any modern hardware. So yeah, why bother with SMP... This sort of thin

Sadly the name has come to mean "moving sequence of frames" nowadays. WebM and MP4 provide this functionality using significantly less bandwidth. This may be of interest: https://www.google.com.au/search?q=pixel+ar

This will get buried, but I was curious about the Touch ID bit. It's at the far right edge of the touch strip. Zoom in on this: http://images.apple.com/v/macbook-pro/j/images/overview/intr...

Wow. I suggest tossing the site logo in s3 too (which timed out when I was trying to mirror the page at archive.is), along possibly with the JS. As for the article, my brain felt a bit like it was in freefall, and continuously played sounds
