bliker··on DevDocs
But only with fraction of content...
bliker··on Hijacking a Facebook Account with SMS
Blaming technology is the worst. From the nature of the bug I think it was just some if missing somewhere.
bliker··on Adblock Plus “typo correction” feature adds affiliate IDs to links
Adblock Plus - company in question.

AdBlock - Donationware. They also run this http://chromeadblock.com/catblock/download/ It replaces ads with pictures of cats. Hilarious

I think you are talking about AdBlock, Adblock Plus is different.

bliker··on Our web development workflow is completely broken
Seriously what about tincr?

I debug css that way. No more more memorization and you don't even have to start another program.

bliker··on IE11 to support WebGL
Is it common practice to force particular IDE to developers? Especially for web developers. I imagine my productivity would decrease quite dramatically for some time.
bliker··on IE11 to support WebGL
the dev tools look promising. But I do not understand what are they are trying to achieve by this. I do not see myself, or many people, switching to IE for development when there are no extensions available. I at least want some REST client like Postman. Now It appears they are only catching up on Chrome and Firebug, that will hardly convince anybody.

Do not get me wrong, they are doing good work making IE modern browser, But they can't do it alone, especially with such long release cycle. Maybe making dev branch like Canary or Aurora?

bliker··on JavaScript Loop Performance
What ways of testing performance do you recommend? I need to test different regexes and string manipulation. I was about to use jspref but I am very open to any suggestions,
bliker··on The new php.net
avoid XML, make sure to read about JSON and sql databases.

google for REPL, than get one for php, so you can see results instantly. https://github.com/d11wtq/boris

bliker··on Advice for ambitious 19 year olds
I expected advice.

Now I am more indecisive than before.

bliker··on Helios Bars: The arrival of the smart bike
Can somebody point me to similar low cost, low power GSM modules?
bliker··on Helios Bars: The arrival of the smart bike
Very good point. If am not mistaken in Denmark you have to have standard white light in front and and red on back. They also must be light enough.
bliker··on Helios Bars: The arrival of the smart bike
Wait, how do you find out location after the bike was stolen? GSM?
bliker··on Show HN: Serial communication using the WebAudio API
I personally love the portability that web api provides and the fact that I can run it without overhead right now.
bliker··on Show HN: Serial communication using the WebAudio API
This is great! Very interesting idea, if I had more time I would incorporate it into my semester project. My solution using putty now looks so cheap.
bliker··on A funny case of using the PC
I am not 100% certain but in Slovakia majority of gov. related communication requires Internet Explorer. Not talking about Windows.
bliker··on Let's deploy via Git
I personally prefer git-ftp. It is common that ssh is still only luxury.
bliker··on A funny case of using the PC
I am in similar situation, but I have less powerful computer. So I made minimal debian setup in virtualbox, mounted my work folders as shared. When I need it I start the machine in headless mode. After few seconds I got ssh access.

EDIT: I just realized that I was doing the same thing as vagrant is doing, without actually knowing about it beforehand.

bliker··on So Coded Early Bird Ticket Sale / Hamburg, Germany / Sept 19/20th
I must say, that is really expensive. This is way beyond my max price as a student.
bliker··on PNG vs SVG for sprites
off topic, but IE 10 is really good browser, I just recently discovered how good Devtools are (I dare everyone to go and check). And compared to Chrome the RAM and CPU are less drained.
bliker··on NewsDiffs: Tracking Online News Articles Over Time
I agree, in this case MVP is very good strategy. But I was more interested in technical side. Making it more readable is always a good target to have.
bliker··on NewsDiffs: Tracking Online News Articles Over Time
I was working similar idea, but for laws. They also change quite a lot and not very well presented online.

I halted the development after I realized how complicated can word diffs get. I would be interested about techniques that you used. I it is quite good as it is, but I noticed some common problems, such as:

1. Reusing letters from words that have nothing in common:

> fury over a [-hik-]{+n increas+}e in bus fares [1]

2. Inserting few paragraphs into one word (first paragraph) [2]

3. Loads of minor changes, also more of 1. [3]

bliker··on Hair
So is there any way to block css animation or WebGL? I think it will be the next Flashblock
bliker··on Hair
there is one in chrome too
bliker··on Erato - simple and beautiful markdown editor
I am currently working on one! It is not release ready but if want here is a simple demo.

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/52646091/syntax/selectio...

I want to totally abolish two window mode and all uncertainties about how the output will look like. my target the same as yours, to make the learning curve less steep.
