I see a pattern here - something is discovered, then it's seen as a magic solution to many many problems until devastating health issues are discovered. Rontgen, radium, asbestos. PVC, carbon fiber, nanotubes are promising candidates f

The filter is slow in regular-size mailbox and almost unusable on my bloated gmail. I don't mind getting results progressively as the messages are scanned, but it runs on the UI thread and UI is horribly slow while the filter is workin

XMPP protocol is so open, that different implementations offer so distinct features, so the lowest common denominator barely includes sending messages to each other.

I use Java with simple task queue and multiple worker threads (scrapy is only singlethreaded, although uses async I/O). Failed tasks are collected into second queue and restarted when needed. Used Jsoup[1] for parsing, proxychains and

So for running a 28 years long red light would be decapitation and two consecutive perpetual prisons.

What an horrific idea to make an accidental horizontal swipe on a mobile device make the page jump to the top!

Somewhat related: I was overwhelmed by complexity of web CMS solutions. I needed something very very simple, that gets the task done (user-editable webpage content). I represent the web by a tree, every node has metadata (id, type, title)

I am running ArchLinux right now on a my machine (webapp dev and network technician) and I don't recomment it. I don't blame ArchLinux per se, but rolling updates are no good for someone like me. Updates break things. Often. Almos

Why someone needs "The big ones" plus 9 other libraries to do this? And a package manager!

Browsers are slow, but I can cope with it. But what I hate is that browsers are nondeterministic. Try Ctrl+C,Ctrl+T,Ctrl+v,Enter combo. In opera it worked flawlessly everytime. In Firefox, it sometimes works, sometime it opens new tab witho

Not only date/datetime/time fields are broken. Also type=number does not work consistently across different locales and different browsers. Some don't let you type decimal comma.

It would be more interesting, if the path is animated and shows the computation of the algorithm, not only the result.
