I use `brew cask` to install firefox, and browsh adamantly refuses to use ~/Applications/Firefox.app. Not complaining, just reporting. Once it was up and running, I guess my terminal styling is conflicting with the renderer: http

Mm, not quite. Racket's greenthreads are incredible, and they don't use explicit yielding. I've always wanted something similar for JS.

I’m currently implementing threading into an editor scripting language. Could you talk more about this? It would be helpful.

Undelimited continuations are memory sieves. Delimited continuations are better but a bit less useful.

Please, for the love of all that is open source, someone create an open alternative to OneNote. It’s easily one of the best Microsoft tools ever, and there doesn’t seem to be a good equivalent. It also seems like the perfect pinboard-style

One thing the NSA is very good at is getting access to virtually every type of networking card. If they achieve access to a target, it's likely they control a path to it. If the target is a wifi device, the custom protocol becomes doub

Thanks for this comment! Very informative, and not something I would have found otherwise.

The NSA developed their own networking protocol, separate from TCP or UDP, which operates just above the physical layer. The idea is that you rewrite the network card firmware so that there’s an NSA MITM running on it. The host computer nev

I don't remember how I got into this situation, but the neighborhood kids and I were sitting around my computer when I was about 7 or so. We were on some AOL-like chat program -- compuserve, maybe? TJ typed something, and someone asked

A good question. And the answer is a bit surprising: community. If you search for spankchain, you'll likely end up on their discord. There are friendly people to help answer your questions and set you up. It's the same advantage Y

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17432801 was what got me thinking along these lines. If CCBill has a stranglehold on the porn payment processing industry, crypto is a natural threat to them. And that implies crypto has

One promising example is SpankChain. It's a cryptocurrency specifically designed for the porn market. Traditionally, it's hard to make money in porn due to fraud and chargebacks. Most payment processors also won't touch you.

Once ICO scams stop working, the world will move towards traditional models. Crypto is out there, and it's not going anywhere. Eventually someone will realize that the smarter move is to create sustainable value over time.

This is what us older people would like to believe. Meanwhile the young webdevs are having a blast ignoring us and building the apps of the future.

It seems time for a double-jeopardy type law for laws. If a law tries and fails to pass, there should be a cooldown period. Possibly a decade.

In the game and simulation industry, texture resolution is a problem. If you run the math on how big textures need to be to match pixel resolution 1:1 in 3D space, it quickly becomes infeasable for large scenes. One solution is to stream th
