Ideally both halves of the spacebar would default to space for accessibility, with a software or hardware toggle to change one side. For typist that use the left half of the space bar, the right half is wasted real estate.

There are some new "66 key" keyboards [1] with a similar form factor and price as the happy hacking lite except with mechanical switches. [1] http://elitekeyboards.com/products.php?sub=leopold,compact&p...

I like the minimal ideals of the happy hacking keyboard but I think it went a little overboard. I like having an arrow cluster and page up/down for applications that don't support emacs/vi bindings. I do like how the number p

I actually recently came across Japanese layouts because a user requested support in http://typing.io , a programmer's typing tutor I work on. I like the smaller space bar but dislike the shrunk delete/backspace key [1]

Caps lock should not be changed despite it's ostensible uselessness. Programmers often remap caps lock (I personally use this tool [1]), and it's nice to have a big target for the pinky. Remapping is of course possible with these

Instead of performing OT at the DOM level, you could do it at the data/JSON level with ShareJS and continuously feed this JSON into React.

My understanding is that Adam Langley prefers AES-GCM to all the other mac-then-encrypt cipher suites in tls 1.2. He's working on AES-GCM support in NSS [1]. [1] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5365601

Also, the if c1 ~= c2 branch is obviously not constant-time, but in practice it’s close enough that it won’t matter for our case. I’d prefer XORing the two strings together and seeing if the result is 0, but Lua doesn’t seem to include

Systemd provides a hook (ExecStartPre [1]) for running test commands before starting a service, e.g. checking nginx configuration before starting. However, I also prefer the flexibility of shell scripts over something like systemd's IN

My bad, I've only used the service command on Ubuntu post-upstart and thought they were more deeply related.

I agree that nginx needs supervision less than most processes because it reinvents many wheels. However, supervision is still nice, e.g. your 'service nginx' example that uses Ubuntu's supervisor Upstart. I agree it's no

Disabling daemonization allows nginx to be monitored initially and through conf reloads but not binary upgrades (e.g. nginx 1.5.1 -> nginx 1.5.2). The binary upgrade process forks the master process, which it 'orphans' from run

Supervision has many benefits besides automatic restarts after crashes. Supervising programs provide a consistent way to start, monitor, and log long running programs. Nginx reinvents its own interface for some of this functionality (like d

Systemd provides many knobs for tuning cpu, memory, and io settings [1] using cgroups. This deep integration is one of the reasons why systemd only runs on linux. [1] http://0pointer.de/blog/projects/resources.html

I use runit in production for http://typing.io . I appreciate runit's strong unix philosophy (shell scripts instead of dsls). However, I'm starting to experiment with systemd because of features like properly tracking a

The "--perl-regexp" flag to git grep enables perl flavored regexes, which contain explicit word boundary matching. To match only word starts, you could use the following: git grep --perl-regexp "\brout" and for

Aggregating multiple sources of randomness has the potential to conceal bugs. In the Debian/OpenSSL bug from 2008 [1], randomness was sourced from multiple locations including the current process id. The idea was that more randomness,

I was experimenting with integrated tools.namespace reloading in elisp as well, and I found a slightly nicer way to send commands to nrepl: (defun nrepl-reset () (interactive) (nrepl-interactive-eval "(user/reset)")) The ori
