I can't imagine Google Glass will be exactly cheap either. Also, just like Segway has been facing regulatory issues [1], Glass deployment might be hampered by safety and privacy issues, at least initially and in some markets. Not too far-fe

You can have that with any console or TV by getting a pair of wireless headphones. I can recommend Sennheiser, they aren't cheap but worth every penny if you ask me. Excellent sound quality, build quality and UX. (I've got a pair of RS 1

Why not explain it just like this on your landing page? I got the general idea (after finding the landing page) fairly quickly but can't hurt to spell it out I think. Nice idea by the way, I guess it's a lot like Verbling except in the real

Do yourself a favor and use public key authentication rather than passwords. It's both more secure and (together with ssh-agent) more convenient. Unless you're logging in from other people's machines a lot that is (where you would need to

There's also UFTP, it doesn't require the receiver to know the file name. (But it is different from your implementation in a number of ways, most importantly it transfers all data via UDP.) http://www.tcnj.edu/~bush/uftp.html

Highly interesting, thanks for sharing your thoughts and the link to that paper. Really I'm just trying to improve turnaround time when developing Web apps. I think that between full-page reloads and research into better programming models

Good point, I shouldn't have lumped together the two concepts. Thanks for clarifying. I would add that this all seems to be in pretty early stages on the WebKit side, too. For example, I had hoped that when the debugger hits a breakpoint,

Shameless plug, my toy project is integrating the WebKit debugger with Emacs: https://github.com/jscheid/kite Live editing (or "hot swapping" as it's called in the article) is my main, long-term objective. I can only devote so much time t

The UNIX permission system is ludicrously primitive for this day and age. Check out OLPC's Bitfrost for a more fresh take on the matter: http://wiki.laptop.org/go/OLPC_Bitfrost#Foreword Unfortunately, it doesn't look like it went anywhere

I think that used to be my setup, except with mairix. It's a while ago and I don't recall now why I was unhappy with it. But seeing that offlineimap is still actively maintained and has seen plenty of updates in the meantime, maybe I shou

Hi Hajo, this looks great! I'm an Emacs addict though, and the main reason I'm not using Gnus anymore is that I haven't found a IMAP syncing solution that "just works" (last time I've checked). Since it sounds like you've solved this prob

This quote has been floating around for a while (I first came across it in the early 90s if memory serves). According to [1] Marcus Aurelius never wrote it, but I still think it's a great little quote: “Live a good life. If there are gods

Lisps are awesome! But to be fair, the Java code can be a lot more compact by using Guava: import com.google.common.base.Functions; import com.google.common.base.Joiner; import com.google.common.collect.FluentIterable; imp

That would be a silly point to make. Many people are running multiple DBMS in production without regrets. Each DBMS has strengths and weaknesses in different areas, and for many businesses it doesn't make sense to shove everything into a s

Ah yes, I've looked at Datatables before. I think it doesn't allow plugging in arbitrary, lazy, client-side data sources though, can anybody confirm this? If so, that's a pretty big hole in its API and a showstopper for me. At any rate, t

Bad example. I'm a German citizen and my wife had to take the language exam in order to become eligible for permanent residency. Not because of any extraordinary circumstances either, just as a matter of course. I know this for a fact not o

This looks great. Can anybody recommend a similar library (i.e. lazy-rendering table component) that either doesn't depend on a JS framework or uses backbone.js? I know Slickgrid but find it a bit too clunky on the whole, and re-styling it
