However, the comment for re-enabling middle click paste seems to indicate that it will indeed be removed in the future: "We're not really ready for this change, and we haven't messaged it properly. After discussion with Allan

Thanks. My guess would be that not dubbing TV and movies to our native languages contributes somewhat. Personally, I just played too much video games as a kid. That's an interesting anecdote about near-perfect mastery having downsides!

I hope this isn't HN karma suicide, but as pleased as I am (as a Swede) that one of our better newspapers is participating in this, I wish they'd spent the time to rid it of spelling errors and grammatical errors. I think I can be

Never thought I'd be recommending the excellent band "Godspeed You! Black Emperor" in such a context. ;) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Godspeed_You!_Black_Emperor

I seem to remember Elon Musk getting a question about SABRE at a post-talk Q&A a while back (probably in the UK, perhaps an inauguration ceremony of some institution), but now I can't find it. He was skeptical and had some construc

Please do! And thanks for writing this article!

I think many GPL-leaning people generally agree that BSD-style licenses are very useful for e.g. reference implementation libraries of open, royalty-free data formats. We want the open formats to succeed, so if we make it dirt simple to put

I think it's "Scapple". Thanks for the tip, it looks good!

By that reasoning alone, tarsnap would also be something skip - but it's not. I haven't looked at FileRock (yet) and don't know any of the technical details, but there's still possibility to do interesting things without trusting the server

If you read this and intend to make security design decisions based on it (as opposed to reading it just for fun), please read more about the subject from other sources as well. A few statements in it are a bit contradictory, like claiming

Hey Björn, you're definitely one of the most interesting companies in the Malmö/Lund area right now! Very excited to see this take off. Two thumbs up =o)

I know commenting just for the sake of agreeing is advised against, but this time I had to. If there's an outrage over app store rejection for these reasons, then imagine the reaction to gatekeeper cert revocation for the same reasons.

Important: If you're using valgrind to examine a program using certain libraries, remember to also provide valgrind with so called "suppressions". Some libraries do things (like juggling memory in interesting ways) that can cause valgrind t

I can really recommend implementing (and testing) Paxos (and the failure detector Omega mentioned at the end of the linked page) if you're interested in learning distributed systems, message passing-based communication and juggling state

This! Offering data export functionality (API or otherwise) is what allows data portability nuts like me to use things like Read It later/Evernote/whatever without cringing a bit in fear of losing the data for any number of reasons. The pro

I'm not quite sure I understand. Speaking of the generic case, the (quite broad, I admit) statement that modular and composable functionality should enable both the unified-libraries-approach (or frameworks) and pick-and-choose-approach sho

While I haven't been doing much Ruby for a while, I agree somewhat with the article. Personally, I think it boils down to composability. Building simple, modular functionality with clearly defined borders should enable both a larger libra

I too was thinking exactly this. I watched the crypto walkthrough video on the kickstarter page and though what was shown looked solid, it didn't mention this. Would it turn into a client-side JS-war between the extension and the host (FB,

Good point. I heartily agree. The hardware is the resource the software is utilizing, and the better thought through and perhaps the more uniform (thus receiving much scrutiny and work) the tools for delegating and regulating access to thos

Many software engineers strive for modularity and component decoupling, sacrificing some things (e.g. performance, to a varying degree) and gaining others. I agree with this line of thinking, and I see no reason not to apply it to OS kernel

Personally, I've always liked creating a simple web server as a nice step in learning a language/stdlib. Some concurrency, some I/O, some string parsing, etc. Obviously it's not the first thing one does, but I find it a nice package to pu

I run I/O-intensive DB tests very often myself, and I usually use RAM-disks to speed those up a lot to allow for faster coding/testing-cycles. Obvious tip perhaps, but I thought I'd share it =o)
