Is it possible to detect which codecs are installed using javascript? Having to throw up a "You need to install this thingie from over here" is bad, but a lot better than just getting a default "something is broken with the file you're tryi

While we're on the subject, would "Bloggitus, ergo sumus" mean something like "We blog, therefore we are"? I hope it does, I use it as the subtitle of my kids' blog: http://ludvig.eiman.tv/

A reflection: you people need to get better cameras and/or learn to use it properly! I'd have guessed that the average HN:er would have a decent camera… Apparently not!

Euro countries are supposed to do that too, it's part of the deal. Not everyone cares too much about that, though. It's easier to be yelled at by the ECB than your voters when the latter will vote you out of office.

At least "scroll to end" or "scroll more than x pixels" is easy to add, and would work just as well as long as your pages don't fit on screen.

Well, it does cost $99 to join the program, but the rest is just nonsense. http://developer.apple.com/programs/mac/

I left out the ARMs since they appear to be a bit on the expensive side (the ones I'm looking at cost about $4 in not so large quantities), and the ones I looked at didn't have much in the way of UARTs, ADC and IOs. I'll have another look t

Why would they, when they're paying $70 for something that should a lot less expensive? Can't find better customers! :)

In one of the articles I read while following links from here ( http://www.tarpityoga.com/how.html ) they say: You also have to completely believe in the TMS diagnosis. That means that you have to completely accept the fact that y

It's not actually about "How the technique works", it's more "This book worked for me, but I'm not going to give you even a slight hint about how so go buy the book". Anyone have a link to the actual "How" part?

There was an article about that somewhere (can't find it right now) where they say that according to the EULA the 4.x upgrades are included in the iPad price.

He actually talks about that in the post, if you read it. He's making a Firefox plugin to validate JS before it's run, it's a bit down near the end.

Plastic in a landfill is plastic in a landfill. Indeed, but in some (most?) countries plastic is recycled too (or incinerated, there's no reason to put it in a hole in the ground).

Multiple identical PUT requests with Transfer-Encoding:diff+If-Match will result in the same thing as a "normal" PUT with an If-Match header - if the resource is in the matched state it will be transformed, and if it isn't it will be unchan

Why compare with Baseline, though, and not Main or High? In e.g. the "desktop computer playing the video through Flash" scenario there's no client-side reason not to use the more advanced modes. The iPhone is limited to Baseline to be able

Wouldn't it be easier to use a PUT with a Transfer-Encoding of "text/x-diff" (or some such) and an If-Match header?

Hm, I wonder what the opposition thinks about this. Currently it looks like they'll win the election this fall, and might reverse this (in my opionion) bad decision.

I have to parse this whole thing into memory and then pull out the part I want? You do that with JSON too, don't you? Are there SAX-like parsers for JSON? If it's a big file it'll be big in JSON too.

That depends on who you're asking, I think :P In general it seems to work fairly well, but as with any system there are both people who abuse it /fraud)and people who get abused by it (get defined out of the system because they're "not sick

More Swedish info: you call in sick, then stay in bed and try to get well. You don't get paid the first day (or maybe two days, not sure...), but after that you get 80% of your normal pay from your employer the following two weeks. If you'r
