I'm a foreigner living in Germany, and can tell you this is true. 'Everyone' uses Firefox. They also really like these 2-click-social-media-buttons, because it apparently gives better privacy (load the tracking/tweeting&

I'm a programmer, and know very little about art (sadly). The picture in the background here is very beautiful. Someone who makes that kind of thing, how do they do it? How do they chose colours, and how would they go about making the

What happens if someone built a service based on it? Should they never trust browsers keeping alive even the shitty (in comparison to free and standardised HTTP/2) features? What's great about the web is that now 20 year old servi

Reading this, and other recent events, gives me the realisation that we need the successor of UNIX. Nowadays, everything runs UNIX. My iPhone, Android, my Mac, my Ubuntu laptop, my Debian or BSD server, even my e-reader runs some Linux. On

They say it's "React-like", but afaik it doesn't do the cool things with a virtual dom? What's cool about React is how it doesn't write to the DOM all the time, only when there is a diff. Does Riot do that? If

What mining does in Bitcoin is to generate consensus, so that everyone agrees on the financial history, which === keeping track of what public key owns what amount. The actual hashes are pretty worthless, but that's the service mining

Well, Riot is pretty old... This is a major upgrade, and as such font-page-worthy I'd say.

Wouldn't Paypal be the first proprietary mover of sending money over IP, and Bitcoin being like SMTP/POP/IMAP/whatever? Or maybe I misunderstood something

A torrent index that I can view thru an emacs mode would be the most useful. If the data format is just a text tile with each torrent taking one line would be amazing. It would be long, but it's just text so memory consumption is negli

I think Duplicity ( http://duplicity.nongnu.org ) is what you're looking for. For Ubuntu I know there's a nice GUI that anyone who can use a computer can set up. For other platforms I think cli is the only way, but someo

Does archive.org let you download dumps of all of their data? If they make a weekly torrent containing their whole data-set it would be easily immortalised...

I thought the same, and made a Cordova/Angular app. It was a mistake. Don't go there! It's easier to learn the native languages/sdk than to debug that mess. Also, cocoa touch is nicer than any web framework you've e

I wouldn't call Xmonad a window manager, but just a thin wrapper around X11 (C?) that happens to be written in haskell.

I thank the lord every day that the language I work in (Javascript) supports functions! I try to write pure functions as often as possible, so it's easy to refactor the code when I come back three months later. But is there, except for

I think this comment was important to me. I've never understood what the fuzz is about, but after reading this I decided "fuck it, why not try?". I just did a 5 minute one. Genius idea about the timer, wouldn't be possib

Choosing a unified format for configurations is an interesting task, because they all suck a lot (hehe). XML is too verbose to be nice to work with. Plain text files with config flags delimited by newlines lead to the program in the end imp

I'm pretty effective with vim, so much that other 'normal' editors like sublime & other modern gui editors make me feel a little crippled. That is a problem, because you need to be flexible about things in life. Has anyon

This looks like a nice language, mad props to the author(s) for actually creating a new language, that's something I dream of doing one day! But I wonder, is this means for me to use, and then why should I use it? The text had great ex

I know Zuckerberg is rich from creating Facebook, but where did Chan find her stash of money? Or are they donating Mark's money but using both people names? Asking out of curiosity, not trying to make some dumb point.

I mean, anyone who ever used bitcoin will see how it's clearly superior than going to a bank office, getting an account, waiting days for it all to work out. And then transactions take a night (at least in the countries I've live
