izuzakon Atom 1.0

No. See these release notes: https://github.com/atom/atom/releases/tag/v0.208.0

izuzakon HTTP responses as a service

Yep. Also:

http://www.mocky.io/, http://ivanzuzak.info/urlecho/, and in some cases: http://hang.nodester.com/

izuzakon HTML5/WebGL source port of Quake

Best. Thing. Ever.

Running smooth in Chrome Canary.

izuzakon Github powered comments

Very nice. Still, I made the same thing 2 years ago: http://ivanzuzak.info/2011/02/18/github-hosted-comments-for-...

The only difference is that I don't require users to log-in via OAuth, rather I point them to the issue page with the comments and they enter their comments there (which are then displayed on my blog). Less OAuth fuss (both for me and for users) with same functionality.

izuzakon StreamServer: A stream server in your browser

i think this is really cool! have you seen the recently announced http://browserver.org/? it puts a http server in the browser using a proxy.

i've actually done the same things myself, only 2 years ago -- a HTTP server and WebSocket server in the browser via a nodejs proxy server, see: https://github.com/izuzak/node-revhttpws

izuzakon "Yes, we ship to..." - Awesome UI detail at Threadless.com

are you stuck in 1999.? no, it's not that awesome. there are a lot of sites that "personalize" based on visitor location and guessing that location is also not awesome.

izuzakon Show HN: GetJSON, make ajax requests to anywhere

Nice. Have you seen https://github.com/izuzak/urlreq ? Same thing, just on steroids and without the pretty Web app :)

izuzakon The scoop on reCAPTCHA founder's new startup Duolingo.

A bit older, but way better presentation by Luis von Ahn on duolingo:

The Royal Society - "Augmented intelligence: the Web and human computation" (Louis von Ahn) http://royalsociety.tv/dpx_royalsociety/dpx.php?cmd=autoplay...

+ has excellent discussion at the end.

izuzakon Accuracy of JavaScript Time [2008]

a more recent study of getTime() here: http://mivankovic.blogspot.com/2011/03/research-results-can-... ("Can JavaScipt getTime() be used for measuring performance of JavaScript code?")

izuzakon Is p2p webhosting a solution for e.g. wikileaks?

Or like http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-bryan-metalinkhttp-17

"This document specifies Metalink/HTTP: Mirrors and Cryptographic Hashes in HTTP Headers, a different way to get information that is usually contained in the Metalink XML-based download description format. Metalink/HTTP describes multiple download locations (mirrors), Peer-to-Peer, cryptographic hashes, digital signatures, and other information using existing standards for HTTP headers. Clients can transparently use this information to make file transfers more robust and reliable."
