Halfbakery is a popular but not very serious one.

You mean William Gibson's. Note how despite the author's intentions (or perhaps because of them) "pirated text of the poem was released the next day on MindVox."

Interesting. Do you find it more or less terse than PowerShell?

And for Windows there is Far Manager, which since 2007 has been open source as well (BSD license) and has plugin support. http://www.farmanager.com/

Neovim looks promising. Not to derail the thread but is there a similar reimplementation effort on the Emacs side?

Have you looked into Nimrod? It is different from Python in that it embraces some concepts that Python rejects (e.g., AST macros, which are actually quite brilliant in Nimrod) but it's the most pythonic programming language that I

The bounty only explicitly mentions stock firmware but it is implied that the exploit should also not require disassembling your device and messing with its hardware. This makes me wonder: would a hardware exploit be easier? Modchips have

As a technical fix to the Scribd copy-paste problem you could implement a user script to perform frequency analysis on the text of the document and to correct the text as it is being loaded substituting the DRM font for a regular one. (You

An alternative that is not to be easily dismissed is that in 100 years we will have learned to manipulate our contentment. If handled badly enough, this could become our final discovery. Not that we would then care.

You may be right about the extensions. Thanks for suggesting gvfs. I'll investigate it and similar databases from other packages (I know at least KDE has its own).

Have you tried using it in production (for some value of "production")? I wrote a web API "Hello, world!" in Jester about half a year ago as a way to learn a little Nimrod and at first glance found it to be a nice we

How do you find the keyboard compared to that of the X220 and earlier X series laptops? It's the one thing that makes me reluctant to consider the newer devices of the series.

Science fiction may have only shaped the "brain ray" idea superficially. James Tilly Matthews, the first documented case of paranoid schizophrenia, complained that he was tormented by a criminal gang operating an "air loom

Perhaps. See also: http://www.2blowhards.com/archives/2007/04/_trial_version.ht... (not an endorsement). It's an interesting discussion to have but it may not be a good fit for Hacker News in general and

I run Firefox and last I tried Chrome it did use more RAM for the same content. However, I wonder: since Chrome runs its tabs as a collection of processes does that mean individual tabs could be swapped out by the OS without affecting th

A truly dystopian monetization strategy for this type of app would be to let users pay to reveal each other's IP address and/or location (location costs extra). Edit: Or worse, enable and encourage bidding wars over whose identity

I haven't used it in a while but Tcl/Tk with Tile (now known as ttk) used to be a decent solution for cross-platform GUIs with native-looking widgets. Among other things it had top-tier Unicode support and a declarative layou

Have you tried using one of those USB-over-CAT5 adapters they sell on eBay? I've always wanted to but never had a real application for it, and robotics sound perfect. Just bolt down the adapter on one side.

Valid point. It make me think that perhaps sousveillance isn't a bad idea.

That is a heartbreaking read. I had to deal with bullying at school but what is described here is at such a different scale I feel it would be wrong to compare my experience to the author's. If, like me, you were surprised at fir
