He's not alone. :-) Richard Stallman goes a step further as his laptop isn't directly connected to the internet. Quote: For personal reasons, I do not browse the web from my computer. (I also have not net connection much of the t

The GTK ports on Mac are pretty bad looking. This would make them awesomer again!

I hope this also means that we might see programmable datapath processors in switches/routers in the near future! That would be way awesome.

With the push for hardware accelerated rendering, I think this CPU hog should slowly go away.

This file contains an example of how you could do similar things (printing \lambda for lambda functions) in emacs using font-lock. http://dishevelled.net/elisp/lambda-mode.el (string 54091) Gives some Chinese character; the unicode

I like the trick of using the last few bits of aligned pointers to store something useful. It's tricky and has to be done correctly. A class wrapper around the pointer would be better. For e.g., a constraint in an AVL tree requires that t

I think there's a difference: Enlive is meant to manipulate the DOM using familiar CSS/jQuery like selectors. The article however, is a way to _write_ the HTML in the first place. I've myself been using a declarative style HTML output engi

Internet routing is supposed to be a distributed system alright, but most of the internet services (except China's) are not hosted in China. Wouldn't it be easy to add a policy to BGP that effectively blacklists (or gives a low priority) t

Mathematica programming language is somewhat symbolic, like Lisp; so you could just "rewrite" your expressions to use CUDAfft[] or whatever very easily. Example: Hold[Times[1,2]] /. (Times -> Plus)

It's just that you write it once and it can run anywhere without "installing" many dependencies other than a browser. No fugly GUIs, no inconsistencies, etc. By web-based I didn't mean it to be on the Internet.

What would be interesting is if someone made a web-based GUI wrapper around such apps. I am sure it would be possible, considering that curses-based wrappers have been around: http://zemljanka.sourceforge.net/cursed/ .

This doesn't seem to be that much of a change. Is there a wish list that people loved to see?

The centre canvas where things are dragged/dropped or drawn is pretty cool. Did you guys create one yourself or is there a plugin that's available?

In IM clients like Pidgin, you can enable TLS for connecting to a Jabber chat server (provided the server supports it). Chat should be encrypted; I wonder why it wasn't the case with Kik.

I beg to differ with "Google doesn't care about variances, because it's a tech company and not a people company." From what I hear, Google/Bing do track response latencies at 99+ percentile.

I am not sure if what you claim is meaningful. A single bit of data loss is a data loss, no matter what the file size is. If you meant you could fix the 1-bit error easily in the 1KB case, as you have just 8K bits to flip through, then it
