Easy prediction: they'll disable imap access within a year.

Fascinating. What do you use to sync emails to the offline mirror? (-:

Thanks for the link! I hadn't seen that one before. While I think I'm already thinking in expressions, Erlang's placement of punctuation never really made a lot of sense to me. Maybe that explanation will finally clear up my confusion.

So far, I agree with the note about 0/1-based indexing. It's just not used a lot. However, I find it pretty calming that indexes will work the way I expect them to, should I ever need to use them.

Now that I think about it, these two points (syntax and indexes) are somewhat petty things to point out about the Erlang : Elixir relationship, and I feel a bit bad for repeating them in the blog post. Things like protocols are way more interesting (and hopefully, are what drives you to try out Elixir). (-:

Thanks! Please let me know if you have any questions about it or run into problems. If you write a filter set and you can share the script that generated it for the examples, that would be pretty super, too (-:

You can't see a date on it, but that page is now 10 years old (I wrote my entry when I was 20 years old, 30 now). Still loving Common Lisp (and clojure and Elixir and all the many other cool things that came out since then), so no harm done; just... beware (-:

Did you consider SSL client auth? I'm not sure you will get all the properties you want out of it (ease of logging out, especially); but having used it a bit now, it is a really pretty nice way to do SSO. Plus, it forces you to keep your internal services on HTTPS which is just a good idea anyway (-:

Wow, this bus yelling thing is pretty creepy behavior.

Wow, that sounds like it'll screw up some kickstarter projects' international shipping plans.

There is no way in hell this isn't satire.

Congratulations - that is a seriously useful utility. At first I thought that holding down the mouse button wasn't that bad - but your browser tab demo absolutely convinced me (-:

Thanks for making this - anything that improves my Mac's drag&drop and copy&paste functionality is worth at least $5.

That's pretty amazing. I had the privilege of demoing repraps to a Vienna UT researcher a while ago, and he reciprocated by giving me and my friends a tour of the 3D printers at their institute. The 2-photon printing facility was already in place (and oh my is it impressive), but it hadn't made a lot of interesting stuff at the time - I think they were focusing on fabbing organic molecules at the time. I'm pretty sure it wasn't as fast as this - 4 minutes for a sculpture of that size, at that level of detail is pretty great.

That was about 2 years ago now. Very glad to see they made such great progress in the meantime (-:
