bliker··on Introducing Rubinius X

    <?= 'Hello World' ?>
bliker··on StackEdit: A free, open-source Markdown editor based on PageDown
I did a lot of work on that. But I found out most of the parser kinda ignore the complex stuff and are very sloppy about the white-space. So I am working on my own parser.

That turns out to be quite a challenge

For example Mango fails with any combination of bold and italic

bliker··on How We Detect Adblock
I assume that you are just injecting some snippet of JS into pages. What does protects you from getting (ad-)blocked?

If you get more customers somebody will create ad-blocker-blocker-blocker (we are going deeper). And ad-blockers have much better position than you have, they can execute anytime and intercept code before it is evaluated.

bliker··on Google Web Designer
Sadly it is introduced as industry standard for many students. Mainly for design schools where they also require Photoshop.
bliker··on Lightweight HTML5 Grooveshark Player
I use https://hola.org/, works great and does not push all traffic trough proxy
bliker··on Lightweight HTML5 Grooveshark Player
remora seems to be outdated
bliker··on Lightweight HTML5 Grooveshark Player
if do not mind Ruby. I am sure you can use https://github.com/sosedoff/grooveshark and wget.
bliker··on The Feynman Lectures on Physics, Volume I
If I make it into .mobi or .epub. Can I publish it? (with proper licence of course)
bliker··on The Worst Programming Environment in the World?
But they can escalade into stuff like https://github.com/evilstreak/markdown-js/blob/master/lib/ma...
bliker··on I couldn't wait for the new Mac Pro
how about: http://elementaryos.org/ very plesant to use and in active development
bliker··on The Worst Programming Environment in the World?
somehow that ugly MUMPS code reminds me of regexes...
bliker··on I'm Building a GitHub for Writers
How are you solving the diff problem? Word based diffs tend to be jumpy and hard to follow. On the other hand line based diffs do not work well for text (prose).
bliker··on I am not a css hacker but please HN change your css. smartphone experience suck
I suggest to do what 4chan has done some time ago. Rewrite the css & html in modern fashion optimized for all devices but keep the style the same.
bliker··on The entire US Code is now online in XML
I did some work & research about diffs when I tried to visualise progression of slovak law. My best attempt was a diff method that would understand the inner structure of the law. I ended up with simple draft but I am sure somebody more competent could look into that.
bliker··on Do_good.js
I accidentally created something like that some time ago. But using website do deliver the script is problematic due to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Same_origin_policy
bliker··on Final Term - Terminal Emulator
I am working on package for windows that can do just that. Totally portable and extensible. Based on ConEmu. But I am looking for beta testers. if anybody is interested drop me an email.

Currently it looks like this. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/52646091/cmder.png

Should work for you if you are using anything. But works out of the box with cmd + msys-git + some other godness.

Also spit window support, aliases, fullscreen, history search. Sublime Text like shortcuts.

bliker··on GorillaScript
It can be precompiled but it has not been optimized to do so: https://github.com/google/traceur-compiler/issues/307 It seems the project is not very active.
bliker··on GorillaScript
That is where source maps come into place. Not sure about support for GS though.
bliker··on GorillaScript
I would prefer some compiled JavaScript ECMAScript 6 that and could be compiled into compatible JS. So I can use all the goodness like classes and iterators. Without having to deal with polyfills.

Please somebody...

bliker··on Debuggex: visual regex tester – now with PCRE
That sounds promising :) I also managed to find some mockup I got when I was thinking about working on something like that

http://jsbin.com/axojax/2

some UI tips:

1. Make the font bigger for inputs + add padding for input elements.

2. Make difference between _ and space and other escaped characters more noticeable.

Great work!

bliker··on Debuggex: visual regex tester – now with PCRE
Maybe somebody can give me of workflow tip:

I have collection of regexes, they each have several test cases that they should/should not match. Is there any good app that can do something like:

1. Manage Regexes

2. Create, add and modify test cases

3. Run test cases on change

4. Set different implementation (Javascript do not have lookbehind)

(5.) Sharable Urls

I will be grateful for any tips.

bliker··on In the Bible Belt, Offering Atheists a Spiritual Home
Well, I am from Slovakia. I was never met with open criticism or any kind of aggression towards me for not being christian. I think majority of Europeans are only Sunday Christians.

The level of engagement I have seen in US is far beyond this.

bliker··on In the Bible Belt, Offering Atheists a Spiritual Home
I was in US only 6 months and it was in Mississippi. But my experience was very similar. Even more radical I could say.
bliker··on Zen Photon Garden - Ray Tracing in the Browser
prism?
bliker··on Frameworks Round 6
Thank you for great response.

But for me all this seems quite biased towards small Frameworks/Platforms. I will hardly ever serve one JSON response form full stack framework. If I just made some C server that would do those tasks very well it would be first in this list but very far of anything of value.

Albert Einstein once wrote, “Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid.”

bliker··on Frameworks Round 6
how about http://robfig.github.io/revel/ ? I just skimmed thru their manual and it seems quite promising
bliker··on Frameworks Round 6
Honest question: Why are most of the frameworks that I know of in bottom half? When does speed becomes relevant?
bliker··on Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality just got several fascinating updates
Chapter 2 starts with C style #include statement.
bliker··on Girl buys water, spends night in jail
it is funny that you can buy the same beer when you are 16 in Denmark.
bliker··on DevDocs
That is astonishing number of sources. But it is quite confusing when each source opens in different windows with different styling.

I wish there was some universal documentation format that could be shared among all software.
