Here's the prompt I ended up with after several iterations of Claude trying to spit out Objective-C 2.0 code: "This project must generate code that works with Mac OS X Tiger 10.4, Xcode 2.5, and Objective-C 1.x. The Objective-C co

I never came across Auto-Xbins, but it's good to know it existed. Hopefully it got a lot of use over the years.

> Very cool. Is Tiger the minimum bound for the app itself, or just for the Intel Mac? I have 10.1 on a Wallstreet and can give it a shot if not. I recall seeing stuff in Xcode about building for down to 10.2, but I don't have anyth

Same here for the OG Xbox. Lots of TSOP flashes for friends over SSH after booting a saved game exploit for 007: Agent Under Fire. Reading lots of the forums on xbox-scene.com. Learned to solder with a soldering iron I picked up from the lo

Yeah, the cache manifest will be the next feature for Browser Hash :)

Well I guess I'm not so paranoid if you're worried about the JS being MITM'd :D

by chadkeck 15y ago
The code is up on github. I will add the MIT license soon (do what you want with the code). The hash functions came from Paj here: http://pajhome.org.uk/crypt/md5/ IIRC, Firefox's add-on API already has an MD5 calculation method.

1. Haha, I agree that files will eventually become less accesible for the majority of computer users. Something like how the iPad handles projects/songs/documents instead of the generic "file". 2. Due to HTML5 limitations, you will need to

I dont' really understand what you're saying here. Other services that calculate the digest of a file online require you to upload your file to the service/site where you don't know what they will do with it. With Browser Hash, not one bit

Absolutely agreed. It is due to the immaturity of the browser implementations, which will hopefully be fixed soon. It regularly crashes(!) Chrome on "large" files; thus, the limitation.

Hey Thomas, The itch I was scratching with this tool is that there isn't a built-in way in Windows to get a digest of a file, so... what better way than doing it in the browser? Also, I'm the paranoid type and don't like the idea of uploadi

Very nice! Your sorting by deductible doesn't work correctly.

CanvasXpress has got some pretty cool examples. I am currently using a not-free-for-commercial highcharts ( http://highcharts.com ). It is pure javascript, depends on jQuery or MooTools and I like it.

Thanks for the suggestions. A comment system is on my list of features to work on. I think I have been fleshing out an idea like what you are suggesting from the turtle cursor. I would like to add a step-by-step debugging to WizBang that

I just wanted to know if any actual computer scientists had input on the project's goals. I have looked into Alice, scratch, Popfly (discontinued), and couldn't really find one that was very similar to WizBang, so I was also thinking putti

by chadkeck 17y ago
Great! There isn't much instruction on what to do once it's installed, so I recommend opening up the examples (available from the sourceforge files page) to get an idea how the blocks behave.

I don't think WizBang could ever take away the beginner running into compiler errors, but I feel that the beginner programmer has so many problems to face at once that this situation can be improved. By using WizBang, they can interactivel

by chadkeck 17y ago
It is definitely intended for beginners, but I wanted to let HN know about it since I've seen a lot of posts wondering "how I can teach my kid to program?" and think that this is a good app for that.

WizBang is designed to teach the most basic programming fundamentals: loops, conditional branches, numeric operations, and how these blocks interact with eachother. I am in no way trying to get any current developer to switch over to buildi

It is much slower for me to build a WizBang program than to fire up vim and write some code. I'm not sure if visual programming could ever be faster than a text editor, as a visual block (in WizBang anyway) usually corresponds to one or tw
