There a whole bunch of stuff that needs to be wrapped around the editor UI component to make it a useful desktop editor. I started working on something like that at some point, but just didn't have the time to get anywhere. You might w

Yes, no contest there.

Emacs Lisp is such a horrible language, and the Emacs ecosystem is so firmly stuck in the past (mutable state and magic hidden side effects and interactions everywhere) that writing extensions for it is much harder than it should be. It has

Indeed. That's how most desktop browsers handle double-click -- it only happens when the first click wasn't handled (preventDefault-ed). I guess they made this decision for usability reasons (double-tap-to-zoom should always work)

First, I agree that using an OSS portfolio as a hiring filter is sure to reinforce existing privileges. But I do find articles like this which try to attach a stigma of oppression and exploitation to OSS as a concept rather distasteful. In

Well, let's see var mostRecent = ''; if (type(c.messages) === 'array' || type(c.messages[0]) === 'object' || type(c.messages[0].text) === 'string') { mostRecent

I expect Apple has been hit with such warrants already, and this phrase is nothing but simple PR talk happily misinterpreted by the overenthusiastic airheads at BoingBoing.

The idea is to leave the growing to the MMU. And a contiguous stack does not have to shrink immediately when its size goes down, whereas a segmented stack does (or at least it has to do something that causes it to set its stack pointer ba

Collaboration or integration with Mailpile [1] might be a useful direction to consider. They are doing interesting work on the backend, but as far as I am aware, there isn't much frontend present yet. [1]: https://github.com

This is a tempting approach, but man-in-the-middle attacks, or the equivalent compromised or legally-strongarmed servers are the whole problem here. Any client-side logic that is served by a server can only be trusted as far as that server

But note that px is also relative to the zoom level, as unintuitive as that sounds.

Interesting. Let's hope it's more conclusive than the clean windows files he provided before. [edit]: That comment is two days old, and the files were not provided publicly, he just says he is analyzing them himself. Again, needle

What triggers my skepticism is * "Ruiu said he plans to get access to expensive USB analysis hardware" -- I'm not an expert on USB, but I do believe it should be trivial to tap the traffic between a machine and such an infect

Phoning home, I'd guess. Spying with malware is hard when the infected machine can't communicate with its controller.

What I'm trying to say is that systems don't exist because they are 'good', they exist because they survive. When trying to interpret the world, 'value' is a much less powerful explainer than survival.

by marijn 13y ago
Looking at systems by considering whether they 'create value' in some generalized utilitarian sense is unproductive. Such systems survive by being able to extract energy somehow, in this case by exploiting properties of the stock

You don't need to hack into sites for that—you can simply connect to a torrent and see the IPs that are uploading to you. This has been a very effective strategy in Germany, where ISPs will happily identify their users by IP, and court

Well, my own phone is unable to render svg, so I can imagine there is such an audience.

The responses here (so far) are mostly pointing out why SVG is not suitable for all situations. There are many images where - SVG will be smaller than a bitmap - The sub-pixel rendering isn't really an issue (do you check that all th

Well, you're free to make a small donation now and order the book from Amazon (for ~$20, I expect) in a few months. I know it's not psychologically the same thing, but the end result is similar.

The slow script warning, as far as I understand it, only fires when the script runs uninterrupted for a certain time. This was a case of animation frames taking up more time than their framerate, and thus firing end-to-end, killing the resp

Everybody gets a digital version—as in, I'll be distributing ebook formats from the website as soon as the book is finished. Sending a book costs about $10 for the book, $2-5 for shipping, and days of my time to orchestrate. It'd
