neeee··on UBlock Origin
No, they're intended to be used together.
neeee··on RFC 7540 – HTTP2
IPv6 doesn't fix most of the problems with IP, in fact it makes some worse (routing tables are now bigger because of bigger addresses and there can be more of them). If IPv6 actually did attempt to fix issues in IP it might have seen faster adoption.
neeee··on High quality GIF with FFmpeg
Gifsicle is very good at making highly optimized GIFs, but slightly more cumbersome as you have to convert each frame to a separate image first.

neeee··on WebKit.js: Pure JavaScript Port of WebKit
It isn't that different, and I don't trust proprietary auto updating software either.
neeee··on PirateBrowser - No more censorship
The source code doesn't seem to be availible anywhere. Is this a violation of Firefox' license?
neeee··on As New Services Track Habits, the E-Books Are Reading You
Do you know of a good open source ebook reader?
neeee··on A Christmas Message From Edward Snowden [video]
You can't view it on youtube either from Norway, the UK, and many other countries. "This video contains content from Channel 4 s/f, who has blocked it on copyright grounds."
neeee··on Researchers publish Snapchat code allowing phone number matching
Steve Gibson and Gibson Research Corporation are not affiliated with the grsec guys. This is quite confusing.
neeee··on Dear Spike Lee
Read the entire article. They posted his comps on their facebook page.
neeee··on FastR: An implementation of the R language in Java [pdf]
Python 3's installed size is 90MB here, 2 is 60MB.
neeee··on Process videos in browser using FFmpeg compiled to JavaScript
No, check out http://blog.pkh.me/p/13-the-ffmpeg-libav-situation.html.

While Libav left with the server, bug tracker, etc., the FFmpeg project was restoring itself, with the help of some VideoLAN people (the FFmpeg sources are now hosted on git.videolan.org). Michael also started to merge the Libav changes back into FFmpeg every 1-2 day, with a lot of forgotten, previously rejected, sometimes controversial features, or in stand-by such as ffmpeg-mt.

The main point here is that the fork stimulated the competition, and FFmpeg became a way better (IMHO) and more complete project. Also, I must say the leader's attitude completely changed, in a very good way. This is certainly one of the most positive thing that came out of that war.

neeee··on A living death: Sentenced to die behind bars for what?
>If someone commits three consecutive rapes...well, who would complain about locking him up forever?

I would. The primary purpose of prisons should be rehabilitation. Giving life sentences doesn't take into account that people can change.

neeee··on Why Silicon Valley Funds Instagrams, Not Hyperloops
Thanks. I close the pathfinder page the moment i saw "Reading time" over the article.
neeee··on Jenkin developers accidentally do "git push --force" to over 150 repos on github

neeee··on Introducing TogetherJS
This one is https://hacks.mozilla.org/2013/10/introducing-togetherjs, the other is https://togetherjs.com/.
neeee··on Google Hangouts/GTalk glitch sends chats to wrong recipients
WebRTC?
neeee··on McAfee vows to make Internet 'impossible to hack'
McAfee hasn't had anything to do with McAfee Inc. for more than 10 years.
neeee··on Gmail Favicon Issues
You just need to click a button to install it.
neeee··on SteamOS
In my case, yes. But the performance is good.
neeee··on Rainyday.js
jsbin is 502-ing.
neeee··on Vim: from n00b to meh
I think vundle is a lot nicer than pathogen. It supports all addons that support pathogen and makes installing and updating them much simpler. https://github.com/gmarik/vundle
neeee··on Cloud to Butt Plus
I turned it into a more portable user script: https://github.com/neeee/cloud-to-butt
neeee··on DSP in Go
There's also a nice set of FFTW bindings. https://github.com/runningwild/go-fftw
neeee··on The Road to Luna
OS X is a distribution of Darwin. iOS is derived from it.
neeee··on Web server in one line of bash
You can actually write a web server in pure bash, with no netcat, using /dev/tcp (bash magic). https://www.gnu.org/software/bash/manual/html_node/Redirecti... http://www.linuxjournal.com/content/more-using-bashs-built-d...
neeee··on Prediction 1957: Pneumatic Tube Roadways
Also from the design document: Another extreme is the approach, advocated by Rand and ET3, of drawing a hard or near hard vacuum in the tube and then using an electromagnetic suspension. The problem with this approach is that it is incredibly hard to maintain a near vacuum in a room, let alone 700 miles (round trip) of large tube with dozens of station gateways and thousands of pods entering and exiting every day. All it takes is one leaky seal or a small crack somewhere in the hundreds of miles of tube and the whole system stops working.
neeee··on frak: Transform collections of strings into regular expressions

neeee··on Psd.rb
The same with GNU Parallel, only it picks the right number of cores automatically and removes .psd from the file name:

  find . -iname "*.psd" -print0 | parallel -0 convert '{}' '{.}.png'
neeee··on Questions about Cameron’s ‘new’ porn-blocking
>the statement about making it a criminal offence to possess images depicting rape sounds a good idea on the face of it How does making images of consenting adults doing something completely legal sound like a good idea in any way?
