No, I think integrating the web stack in a terminal is one of the better options. You'll get a lot of nice things that already work, e.g. serialization (HTML/CSS/JS/JSON), debugging (webkit dev tools, if you use webkit t

And you hopefully have learnt from the mistakes Powerbuilder did back in '95, not making them again. So in theory you're ahead of the crowd of today. Though that means that you have acknowledge that things were not all that great

Also, railways are not really meant to be safe against attackers with physical access to it (so basically anyone). For example, the sensors/switches on a railway that cause a train to perform an emergency halt if the train driver misse

Just reinventing the wheel to not having to use Powerbuiler makes a lot of sense to me. Even if it takes 20 years. Even if it only covers the trivial features. 5 years ago, I used to work on two huge Powerbuilder projects. I don't reme

There could also be an option to provide the app with fake data instead of telling it to not have any permissions, e.g. an empty address book, empty list of currently running apps, a fake network access which actually routes the data throug

Shameless self plug: https://github.com/hoeck/schirm . It does exactly that, rendering arbitary html (inside iframes) between lines of a vt100 compatible terminal emulator, using escape-sequences to denote document data and images. Works q

No you're not the only one. I've been working on pretty printers for SQL and Clojure, to render their textual representation using html elements other than <pre> so that they keep their indentation, regardless of font style or size

Great to see another clojure tool heading away from the old traditional and largely text based environments to something new and better. Anyhow, looks a lot like Code-Bubbles to me ( http://www.andrewbragdon.com/codebubbles_site.asp ). As h

Isn't this the fault of a bad UI mixed with bad defaults? I'm using the Cookieculler FF addon ( https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/cookieculler/ ) to manage them. Instead of torturing me with a modal popup for every new site I v

> Consider the transformations you might do on a piece of source code while you're playing around. A lot of these (for me, anyway) are things which change not just position or name, but the part-of-speech of words, or temporarily make a

Had exactly the same idea a few months ago, which resulted in 'Schirm': https://bitbucket.org/hoeck/schirm , screenshots: http://imgur.com/a/N84aw . Its a VT100 (+colors) compatible terminal emulator (pyte) hacked to render into an HTML d

For those that can't wait for google, there are already some pretty mature browser-based terminals out there. For example shellinabox ( https://code.google.com/p/shellinabox/ ) which is a full javascript implementation of a vt100 compatible

I never take vacation between christmas and new years eve. Its usually a quiet week anyway and I get to watch all the c3 livestreams and enjoy some unwound coding. Especially the lightning talks had been very entertaining last year.

A current tablet device, even a cheap one, has about 256Mb of main memory. Android (at least the cyanogen mod kernel) has also the ability to use a part of the main memory to store compressed swap partition data. That leaves about 80 Megaby

RunSnakeRun is a nice tool to view the pstats data the python profiler generates. But for me, the squaremap is hard to read and does not really add any value. Also there is no way to 'watch' a pstats file, or combine many files into one. Ge

Same for me. For example, I like using git gui or tortoisehg when doing complex commits as those tools enable me to find, inspect and select all necessary files faster than typing a command for each file/task. For examining recent log entri

Even for lisp, you would have to define an extended syntax for it and modify the parser to additionally read and store whitespaces, comments and newlines. This way you will be able to serialize your source to plaintext without loosing the o

Xmonad works so well that I even rejected to work with a second monitor. At least for me its currently faster switching to another desktop using capslock-<0-9> than physically adjusting my eyes to another display.
