solox3··on Pythonium: Python 3 to JavaScript translator
Today the whole office learned. Thanks a bunch, Jeremy!
solox3··on Pythonium: Python 3 to JavaScript translator

    class a
      constructor: ->
        # conventionally logs 3
        console.log @c

    class b extends a
      c = 3

    new b()  # logs undefined
solox3··on Pythonium: Python 3 to JavaScript translator
I wonder how multiple inheritance is handled by this webdev holy grail. I know CoffeeScript had some issues handling its certain attributes* within its constructors, so it'll be interesting to see how pythonium does the same and beyond.

* forgot what

solox3··on Dell Leaks Details of a 24” UHD 4K (3840x2160) Monitor
I have recently gotten a taste of ultra high resolution monitors.

My coworker got the new Dell XPS 15, which has a QHD+ 3200x1800 screen. Just a heads up to coders, unless you plan to hunch your back or get new glasses, very few of you will enjoy the screen as much as you think you would.

solox3··on Gender neutral language - An FAQ
Results may vary depending on the number of singular his and hers in the original paragraph:

When visitors are each presented (the visitor's) personalised session page, each visitor will need to enter the visitor's name, credit card, as well as the visitor's birth date.

solox3··on Alpaca - Easy Forms for jQuery
Probably creating "input" element instead of "label(input)" or "input + label for=".
solox3··on Libsass – C implementation of a Sass compiler
> While libsass is primarily implemented in C++, it provides a simple C interface that is defined in [sass_inteface.h].
solox3··on Easynest lets strangers share hotel rooms
> more than 2,000 people — mostly men and women in their 30's and 40's — have signed on to use the service

And, as expected, there are some neat, undocumented ways to make full use of this service.

solox3··on A spreadsheet in fewer than 30 lines of JavaScript, no library used
First thing I tried was "=alert()". While it worked, its tendency to block, recalculate, and persist with localStorage made it a bad idea, personally.
solox3··on Smart Air
Yes, HEPA filters are effective against particulate air pollution in Beijing.
solox3··on University of Waterloo: Silicon Valley's Canadian Feeder School
According to Google's top hit, Waterloo also happens to be "the top poker university": www.pokerlistings.com/blog/top-5-poker-universities
solox3··on Dell XPS 15.6" QHD+ (3200x1800)
Do people similar to you in audience type really run the copy of Windows that comes with their laptops?

Or, perhaps, does the ordinary folk/gamer care about bloatware on a laptop this fast, with i5/i7 and 16GB of RAM?

solox3··on Trial week: Our hiring secret
The candidate(s) who work for a competitor during their employment knowingly breach their existing contracts, get fired, and continue to undergo Weebly's trial week.
solox3··on Wolfram Alpha’s New Data about Pokémon
A level 100 Raichu can kill a level 5 Bulbasaur using one Body Slam.

I wonder what Wolfram has to say about this...

solox3··on Impress.js
Is it natural to be frustrated at how hard it is to leave the page, mid-presentation?
solox3··on Microsoft pays $100K bounty to hacker
It is probably not intentional. Had it been intentional:

    Microsoft   pays US$100K   to hacking expert   to launch remote attacks
solox3··on Preventing 'layout thrashing'
Well-researched feature. The best part of the fastdom wrapper (https://github.com/wilsonpage/fastdom) is that a timeout stub is introduced even for browsers that don't support native animation frames. Good job.
solox3··on You Can't JavaScript Under Pressure

    > typeof 5.4
      "number"
solox3··on How do university hackers stack up?
Considering the context of being a Y Combinator website, I'd hope most of us understand that this is not a website specifically about computer security.
solox3··on Periodic Table Of States
Based on the state transition temperature of Al, the table displays data at 1 atm.

---

What I don't get is how Carbon has a liquid state in that table. At 1 atm, solid carbon (not CO2) sublimates into its gaseous phase just below 4 kK.

solox3··on Nicotine as a useful stimulant
So did I. As a non-smoker, I got an "e-cig" simply because it contains nicotine and no tar.

Two years of off-and-on "smoking" has revealed that this cigarette replacement causes no addiction whatsoever.

solox3··on Git-cal - GitHub Activity Calendar for your Terminal
Weird, because before this check was introduced this morning, Konsole reported 8 colours, but rendered your git-cal correctly, using more than 8.
solox3··on MVC is dead, it's time to MOVE on (2012)
We built a prototype app using AngularJS. For our specific usage of AngularJS, while we achieved our goal with the least LOC, its performance is so poor [on mobile] compared to Ember.js, CanJS and MarionetteJS that it was certain that AngularJS is indeed designed for the future, but not the present.
solox3··on IE8/9 crash with CSS only
Certainly crashed my Vista (real machine).
solox3··on Show HN: Is your writing full of buzzwords? Find out with Buzz-Grade
The canonical test, then, is [the system testing itself](http://codyromano.com/buzzgrade/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fen.wikipe...)
solox3··on Yahoo redesigns 7 of its sites
I for one thought they did "content-first" right. Looking at the new sports.yahoo.com, a lot of information can be obtained without scrolling down the screen, and much of the visual clutter is localised by with background blurring.

I'll take this over the "huge text" startup-style any day.

solox3··on Hacker News has native mobile view
Flag is available when you are logged in. Like you said, there appears to be no difference whatsoever between the two versions.
solox3··on Show HN: Tridiv - CSS 3D Editor
It is severely broken on Chromium. Ironically, his app works completely fine on Firefox (Canary), the browser he tried so hard to block.
solox3··on Show HN: Theory.js – Abstraction layer for cross-platform JavaScript

    "a reliable yet tiny library (at 7KB gzipped) that would
    normalize everything so any code written would literally 
    work everywhere"
I felt the same way about needing to normalise client and server side, but the goal seems forever ambitious, considering not even IE8 can handle an extra trailing comma. This is not the only universal solution you will be using.
solox3··on [dead]
The Hayflick limit only applies to healthy individuals (and their tissues) with no change in activity of the telomerase enzyme. If the girl exhibits her appearance because of a telomerase mutation, she is not subject to the normal apoptosis condition.
