When I saw the link title on HN I immediately thought of the idea of implementing Conway's game of life using a grid of checkboxes. It is actually there. Neat!

This is a valid point. I'm teaching a compilation class to undergrad computer science student, so we actually first learn each "horizontal" step separately and work on them during lab session, and then for their project I s

This is a very cool exercise. I see on the roadmap in the README that the approach seems to be "horizontal" in writing the compiler's parts (complete parts are written starting from the parser and it will end with writing the

A long time ago when I was a student and elected at my university's board, I built an entire CMS system using zenity (an equivalent of Yad) because I wanted non-technical people (other elected students) to be able to update a static we

This has all its place on hacker news because it is a fun hack, but it's not at all practical. Not only it doesn't work in all browsers even fairly recent ones (service workers), but even when it works it necessitates javascript

This is also the reason why it is so hard to protect against side channel leakage. During my PhD I worked on a solution that would be theoretically perfect (and is formally proved so), but is not in practice because of exactly that. You can

It wrongly thinks that I have a Bitcoin address in my about page, and thus gives me a "Bitcoiner" badge, which… I really do not want, and almost take offense at. More seriously, I think the app is confused by the Tor Onion v3 ad

You're saying that modifying connection settings that will make something work with everything on your system is considered more complex than using custom software? Also, OpenNIC TLD's are indeed TLDs, Tor's .onion is not rea

Why are all the TLD operated by the OpenNIC [1] project dismissed if .onion is included in the study? [1] https://www.opennic.org/

Not sure but I suspect it would be the "gang of four", i.e., the authors of the canonical OO design pattern book.

Yes because it's missing olive oil ^^.

Has anyone experience with Sailfish? Can it run apps like Signal and WhatsApp? Is it stable? I know the website says that it can, but I'm looking for actual user feedback. EDIT: What about the KDE Connect app?

Yes, when GTalk came out, I loved that I could chat with my friends and my mother right from my XMPP client without them having to install anything. They were online if they wanted when they had Gmail opened or if they used the GTalk app. A

In practice they don't. The comment to which you reply is 100% correct.

MQTT looks interesting, do you have links to simple implementation of the protocol? I often find simple (even if partial) implementations of protocol a better documentation than the complete specifications.

I totally get the geeky appeal of such a web development stack (a few years ago I could have chosen that for my personal web page, for fun). But in practice I doubt that it ends up a win in terms of security, maintainability, and developmen

The meaning of "free" in "free software" is the one from "freedom" or "free speech". It is about liberty, not price. You can totally sell free software for example. And a lot of people are paid to dev

This is a fun idea, but it generates comments that are typically the ones which should not exists in actual code, because they do not add any useful information. Thinking about it I'm not sure it is possible to do better. If the commen
