The belief you have to turn yourself in in order to be considered a hero, ignoring all your deeds, is incomprehensible to me. When did "hero" become synonymous with "martyr"? Turning himself in or not, what does it chan

Thank you for this! I've been looking for a tool like this for a while (up until yesterday too), I'm glad it has been done. I'd like to ask, are there any caveats?

Have you tried wxHexEditor? I found it as good as Hex Workshop, at least.

I hope you're making use of all the not-wasteful-for-your-area topics you learned in school: covalent bonds, subordinate clauses, electromagnetic induction, anatomy of reptiles... There's plenty more people using HTTP than there a

An ad hominem is an attack on the messenger. The poster merely gave reasons why the credibility of said link shouldn't be taken at face value.

Although I believe this is true, I've used more fluid interfaces and played/have seen better performing demos/games in Javascript rather than Java.

Since you're here, I have to ask: whatever happened to the nD? If it failed, why did you just abandon the forums instead of letting people know? I mean, your credibility was already hurt because of Bob's Game's publicity stun

But like ActiveX, it still needs to be supported by the underlying architecture.

With Emscripten, I'd be willing to bet it would be at most the same difficulty as this PNaCL port was.
221.
by stelonix 13y ago
You can do the same with Emscripten + asm.js. You don't code in Javascript, you just compile to JS. The products will run with less performance than native, I'm sure, but at least they're not dependent on Google's app st

It's pretty saddening that some random programmer is going to let his own ego kill the chance to make a statement (yes, I know you personally know POY means nothing. The masses don't, move on.) about privacy and surveillance, all

You could try compiling Mono/Java to asm.js and see for yourself. Of course performance will not be equal to that of NaCl, but portability will. I don't see NaCl as a viable alternative, I see it as an attempt of locking down the

I believe you're missing the point: with asm.js, JS isn't being used as a "silver bullet", but merely as a kind of "assembly" of web browsers. It's not that we love JS so much, it's that it's pre

Is this some kind of humor? The odds of such a thing happening are close to nil.

I couldn't agree more. I don't work with Java, but when I had to, I used Eclipse. People kept telling me about how great it is, how powerful and how it just works. I didn't see any of that. I found the UX non-intuitive, the U

Well, that's the trade off I'm hoping people are willing to make. Just like we did it for search back when Google was new, for example: we had to learn how to use Google compared to whichever search engine we were using before. It

There are many ways to mitigate these issues. The one I like to believe will be the most used would be a entire new way of using computers. Just like Google uses complex algorithms in order to try to give you better search results, I see no

The same issue happened to me some years ago. The solution to get rid of .svn directories was to use a simple robocopy script I found online (ntfs-3g support for writing was rudimentary back then).

I was told their Apache's error pages leaked "too much information", including the server's IP address. Maybe no breach was needed if this is true.

Although this is true, I believe HN has two audiences: the startup people and tech people. The former are the guys posting about VC, "How (not) to fire someone", "How to choose a cofounder", postmortems, etc. The other g

I have to say, the biggest letdown for the next-gen consoles was the complete lack of haptic feedback. It's 2013, and while I welcome better graphics, they won't be enough to give immersion (still not even close to real life-like)

Although we can wonder about how system's programming would work when you use managed languages, the reality is that as of today (2013), system's programming means low-level memory management, an almost transparent translation fro

by stelonix 13y ago
I think Rust stands a chance as a C/C++ replacement: manual low-level memory management, templates, a powerful macro system and type-safeness.

I can't speak for him, but the issues that make Go not interesting at all to me (and I believe, to a lot of other C++ coders) are automatic GC, lack of generics and lack of template metaprogramming. The thing with Go is that it is (was

I'm trying to convey the fact that you need something like JACK in order to do real time audio DSP, while in Windows/Mac, it just works. More importantly, in 2013, per-application volume control should be a given. It's poss

by stelonix 13y ago
Audio just works if you're not a power user, or use only programs compatible with each other. Try using a JACK application alongside an ALSA one and you'll see it doesn't "just work". Even then, if you stick to ALSA

I was afraid I'd be the only person who was annoyed by that, but the parent post tells me otherwise. Might I suggest using local storage rather than gists/Github as data store?
