CSS sprites most likely. You can combine related smaller images into one image and then position the background image to an element so that only one portion of it is shown. This increases load speed and caching abilities since only one http

So, goodbye CDNs, AJAX, DNS load balancing, most websocket applications, third party image and script hosts, and so on?

I hope their extension review process has improved over the past 2 years. I used to have an extension live after it being reviewed, sent them an update a few weeks later, and they took down the old version without warning because the origin

Twitch have their own custom IRC servers and not part of IRC.com/London trust media. They have been watching out on the IRCv3 group to ensure they implement IRC correctly though in the past.

Yes, currently we’re putting full time dev resources into Inspircd to bring it up to date with newer IRCv3 features so that we can showcase what IRC is capable of these days. Once the Foundation has been setup further down the line then we

As the CEO of IRC.com, I can say that Mark Karpeles has nothing to do with the project nor does he have access to any of the infrastructure IRC.com runs on. His work goes towards other projects that London Trust Media has running. I’ve been

We're actually putting together a Websocket spec at the moment for IRCv3. There has been a few experiments and an implementation that has been getting used more frequently has proven to be helpful here. https://github.com&#x

I wouldn't take this as a sincere gesture. So many people say this in the public eye just to save face without any intention to take it further. I realise I'm replying in context of Sir_Cmpwn specifically (and I have had my own in

Most use a websocket library like sockjs or socket.io which uses websockets and falls back to long polling if there's an issue with that. Some IRC servers are starting to implement native websockets but that introduces several issues,

His long term plan as his post mentions, is to grow and push IRC so that we can support large communities on IRC instead of them migrating to closed platforms. It's not normal for a businessman to spend so much money on this type of pl

(kiwiirc IRC client dev here) This type of thing is down to the clients to put into place and we actually do this now. Drag/drop files, pasting images directly into the client, 1GB files supported, right out of the box. Give it a try!

I'm part of LTM and starting to build up irc.com, along with founding kiwiirc.com. I can say that London Trust Media does not impact freenode in any way - they purely fund it to keep it running so that they can focus on other areas. As

This seems to be aiming for completely different goals though. People use markdown as a text and word formatting system that is readable in plain text and easily transforms into HTML. The the main point you are driving to people in this thr

If you're a designer yourself we could do with some design help on the Kiwi IRC project! It's one of the largest web based IRC clients and currently getting a rewrite at the moment, but we've always had a lack of design input

While a number of people in the group are friends, I definitely wouldn't call it a closed group of friends. These are people that have been developing different IRC projects for many years, all discussing the protocol and making sure c

There's a lot of neat stuff in IRCv3 to bring IRC up to date, but most importantly it is standardising a lot of the existing protocol and patching up some of the existing warts that make pushing IRC difficult - all while being backward

That is not correct. Any modifications to the project under the AGPL license need to also be under AGPL. Anything that simply uses the projects APIs is not bound to the same license. If this were not the case, then companies using MongoDB w

Feels very similar to JSON RPC. This isn't a script at all but a way to call an RPC method. And over a non duplex connection at that. I often use something very similar with a few additions to support callbacks. Add an ID field so that

If the ruby on rails solution to memory leaks is to restart, then it's far better to actually get it fixed to not leak memory in the first place. Restarting is just ignoring the issue.
