If you want to reuse an existing cmd window you can type in "cd " then drag/drop the directory from any Explorer shell. You could also close the shell after finishing with it. Not trying to take anything away from your script

You can hold shift and right-click in Explorer and select "Open Command Window Here" (at least in Win 7 and 8).

The code in the post is for Python 2.x but if you're running Python 3.x, use this to set up a server: python -m http.server 8000

Thanks, glad you like it. I wanted an easy way to transfer the URL without installing plugins or having to be signed into specific accounts.

I created a bookmarklet that does the same thing for any website you're browsing. Makes it easy to transfer from PC to phone, assuming the phone can read QR codes. http://keyboardp.tumblr.com/post/38976790879/send-webpage-fr...

I'm not that excited about the product itself but the technology behind it and the opportunities it creates for future tech. I'm sure I'm not the only one looking at it from that angle.

That's a fair comment but stating what makes sense from a business perspective isn't the same as saying you support the actions. Far from it, but when you discuss the actions of companies, you have to see it from their point of view. That d

Why would Samsung want to suddenly switch to a Nexus device when they're dominating the entire Android market with the Galaxy brand? Most users don't know what version of Android they're running, let alone worry about what stock Android is

Unlike MS and Apple's services, Google doesn't need Android to be a brand. I think it was quite clear from the beginning that their aim isn't to ship devices for the sake of spreading Android rather than to ship devices for the sake of spre

Look at it like this. They may have cool new features not seen on existing tablets. Your favourite company might then incorporate and, hopefully, improve upon the feature and you now have a new feature on your platform that may not have bee

I think that's more on sites like Reddit where the "karma" relates to the number of upvotes you have. General use of karma is basically saying "what goes around, comes around". It's a derivative of the concept from dharmic religions.

I generally agree but from first hand experience, I know this isn't always true. Before, I'd be happy to announce/show prototypes of stuff I was working on but it's clear that there are developers out there who take parts of the concept and

That was a quick response from them and they've submitted an update that fixes the issue (which was unknown to them). https://eeqj.com/20130201/path-privacy/#comment-786209180

Congratulations to the Minecraft team, well deserved. Hopefully this serves as inspiration to other indie devs working on their projects.

I agree about the outrage part. There may not be malicious intent from Path, but I do think that there's a better way of allowing users to control their data. A simple extra option of "include location data from photos" would mitigate this

by keyboardP 14y ago
Judging by the post we're commenting on, it's not exactly a shot in the dark guess. Technically, Path has done nothing wrong. They've been given permission to the photos and that's what they're accessing with all the information it brings.

>I think the point is, if you pick "don't read my location data" and then every day post a message "Today I'm at the SF Library", "Today I'm at the NYC Stock Exchange". "Today I'm at DC checking out the White House" That's not the point

I think you're conflating two very different scenarios. Someone saying "I'm in San Francisco" or posting a picture of them at the Golden Gate Bridge is clearly aware that their location can be determined. EXIF data hidden within a JPEG file

>It doesn't mean that Path has to go to every imaginable length to ensure that you don't manage to share your location through other means, like photos or status updates. Not sure what you mean here. If my app loaded a user's picture, a

I use PNG Monster for very good lossless PNG compression http://www.vbgore.com/PNG_Monster Might be worth testing to see if it can reduce the sizes to an acceptable level.

Great idea, I like it! Just one thing, you need to escape the "#" for the C# tag in the URL (C%23). The browser ignores the "#" and so it returns the result for just "C".

Isn't this just usual prototyping? I rarely consider best practices when trying to implement a non-trivial prototype because flow and creativity is broken when attempting to adhere to best practices at the same time (in my experience at lea

Thanks! This was just a 5 minute hack but I really like the suggestion of variable speed based on the current text length. I tried your autoscroll method and the changing scroll speed works well.

I agree. Everyone makes mistakes at some point and that apology seems to be the best possible way to deal with it IMHO.
