Yeah, this is the site that made me realize just how awful so many other sites are. It's very fast indeed, and has no useless graphics or javascript effects, but is 100% functional and looks great.

Still not changing my websites to https. They don't need to be "secure", they are not going to be "secure". I consider this a broken stupid change.

This... failed to explain what a "MOOC" is anywhere.....

"could be available within five years." Ah, the usual codeword for "this won't happen"

Wow, If I get spammed an hour after trying something, and then again after a day or two that would be it. No chance I'd EVER use their product even if it was free.

I took a look again at D this last couple of weeks and it was a way better language than I remembered. It seems like a very solid language. You can write low level C like code if you really want to, but it defaults to safer, higher level co

Yeah, it wasn't intended to be a well thought out list. It was meant to be "just start and iterate" but a little more specific :)

I'd think about it like this :- 1) Write socket code to retrieve the page from a server 2) Get it to draw the text in a window. 3) Write code to look for tags and start diving up the retrieved file into a proper DOM tree. Perhaps start

"For the iPhone, there are four different radio interfaces that could potentially be used for malicious purposes: the cellular modem, Wi-Fi, GPS, and NFC" Well, GPS only receives... so how is it going to detect that?

This might work for me, except that I want to spend some of my day with my partner and she wouldn't do this. So I can't

So... storing your secrets in AWS then... and not in plain sight.

I guess that makes sense. And they can solve issues and make improvements one at a time untill it's good enough I guess. But I doubt that will be any time soon

I can understand self driving cars eventually being practical on long simple roads. But I can't even imagine how one could get to my house. My road has cars parked on both sides. Sometimes vans. Sometimes they almost block the road. So

"All report an average cost of $70-$100 per label, " Why so much to print a traditional label?

WebAssembly will not revolutionize anything. It's like java where people claim it's as fast as native code, and yet every single program runs like a dog and takes 100 times the resources. Only worse because it runs in a browser.

Like I said on the other post yesterday, fun, but a "solution" looking for a problem. We already have addresses. They work.

by jbb555 10y ago
Very nice. But nobody is going to use it as it's solving a non problem. Nobody has any issue giving people an address.

The page seems to forget to say what the point of this is.

by jbb555 10y ago
Perhaps because they post a lot of interesting stuff. This article isn't stuff I didn't already know in some form, but now it's made me want to write a debugger! :)

One might naturally assume from the article title that at some point I'm going to be able to hit the teletext button on my tv and see ... teletext. But what this is, is someone who has found a way to broadcast their own text service to

Rust isn't a proper systems language, it restricts how you can access the machine in the name is spurious "safety". A small number of people are making a lot of noise about it, but it's not going anywhere.

Does the advent of docker containers make creation and deployment of more complex systems as easy as wordpress? (I'm asking, I don't have any real experience of docker)

I consider unicode dead. We wanted a simple way to expand characters from 7 bit to 16 bit and instead got a horrendous mess, complete with childish toy icons in. The whole thing needs scrapping and doing properly
