vivid colours, morphing objects, fantasy creatures.. would also be an accurate description of a real psychedelic trip.. wonder why they put in so many mushrooms..

hey, thanks, didn't know about those threads. cheers!

aha, you almost got me there. keep your distance, uml. we shall not intermingle ever again...

come join the community! there are good things to be discovered for everyone. fruitful conversations, ideas and people, not profiles.

sorry, i meant cpu, not ram. my specs are OSX 10.11.6, 3 GHz Intel Core i7 , 16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3. i'm using an external audio interface Scarlett 2i2 as well.

with only a couple of modules in my rack going, the rack process is hogging 50% of my cpu. about the audio glitches - they seem happen whenever i use my os regularly outside of rack (switching between apps, scrolling and clicking).

hey, this is really cool and stuff, but it eats my ram for breakfast and it's kind of glitchy.

pretty darn cool to listen to as well: http://www.lofibucket.com/download/e1m1_fast_48khz.flac

The best vimrc is no vimrc at all.

This plugin made me laugh! Those disapproving eyes.

Might go crazy if using this while developing though.. (stop harassing me, EDITOR)

I sense dark sarcasm hidden in this message, perhaps from behind a smug UNIX beard?

I'm definitely looking forward to ES6 modules in node.

What is weird is that input[type="email"] rejects some valid emails. Try out this codepen:

The Connector looks promising! But those logos doesn't cut the mustard at all.

Strongly typed cookies you say..

Maybe we all can just write our scripts in Haskell and eat some delicious type cake!

If I can have variables + nesting I'm basically good too. You can have both nesting and variables when using cssnext. See http://cssnext.io/features/#nesting and http://cssnext.io/features/#custom-properties-var. Variables in future CSS are called "custom properties".

I think cssnext is the way to go, just the same way Babel or Traceur is the way to go for JavaScript. Writing in the standard syntax makes your code portable and reusable.

Good points, but you should consider the experience of using a better mobile browser. Opera Mini isn't exactly up to date with modern web standards..

The irony...

I think Google penalizes non-https sites, so that's one reason.

Nice.

This made me think of this video with Jim Weirich demonstrating functional patterns, transformations and the Y combinator:

Highly recommened. It's very related to what seems to be going on here, and actually quite funny.

Yes.

Agreed. Servo (or any other multi-threaded engine) will definitely be a game changer.

I'm curious - when is Servo going to be smacked inside Firefox? We need that lovely thing right now.

I was expecting this to be David Cameron's new website. Was not disappointed!

That's insane.. He must have really hated his job.

Minix have always fascinated me: how it's more modular, smaller, safer and even self-healing. It makes sense to think those are qualities all systems should have, embedded or not.

I wonder if the more popular desktop OSes are ever going to change their monolithic architectures into something similar and adopt these ideas. At this point it seems unlikely because it's all about speed and flashy features, not so much reliability and modularity.

It would be a huge amount of work to change the underlying architecture of some existing million-lines-of-code monster - and that costs a lot of money - but the benefits of having a microkernel could also outweigh that in the future.

They are a bit pricy, but the real issue here is the battery life. I believe most people would like to have more than 4-6 hours on their 15" laptop.

I feel C is best summarized in these two slides:

I believe you can email github and ask for a certain user name and they'll give it to you if it has no or very little activity. For instance, Ken Thompson joined github a little while ago and he got the user name 'ken'. Don't know how he did that, but I guess it helps being Ken Thompson.

I'm not surprised.

As is well known, Microsoft deliberately removed the encryption from Skype, making it just another insecure platform for communicating and vulnerable to censorship.
