Sounds interesting!

Thank you for your reply

A query - would having a smart phone be necessary in order to use the service?

I understand that it says it lives on the smartphone but would the service still be accessible via the browser?

This is also my experience. As long as the contrast is within the acceptable WCAG ratios for accessibility, I don't really see any problem.

This is clearly just my laptop (or maybe firefox) but that google site took about 30 seconds to load up. Every time I click on the tab that has it open - my computer fan whirs up to near full speed and it locks up firefox's graphic rendering until it finishes the page. Once loaded there is an unusable level of lag on the browser and CPU usage is levelling at 55 odd percent.

I think many would agree with you, that most modern browsers with the expected features are pretty bloody efficient pieces of software. I believe what OP was saying was that the layers of abstraction used in building web application on top of the foundation the browser provides -- while really useful -- are also inefficient. This is to be expected since they do not usually have access to the full capabilities of the operating system and hardware.

Could it be my new scripting language? It sounds pretty avant-garde... maybe a little too much for me. My mindset is just not there. As others have mentioned - I also like the interactive environment that is available with traditional scripting languages.

Ah yes, auto! I've been using that a lot since I saw Herb Sutter's talks.

In fairness, he isn't pretending; that is his morality.

Sure it is -- actor model is an is an abstraction of software behaviour. Web services can be modelled as such.

> Distro repos do provide many of the packages you need for development because you need to be able to compile all of the C++ applications and libraries in the distro repo, of which there are many.

I think it's more along the lines of the distro's package manager's responsibilities should be different from the language's PM. Although I do find myself in agreement with you that the distro's PM is sufficient for C/C++

That's really... what word to use? .... that's really fresh! I like it a lot.

Spent some time going to sleep with '10 hours of rain' youtube videos in the background. This is like all the soundscapes in one place. I particularly liked it when I found out I could layer jungle/paradise island and rain together... sweet.

Ha, that's an interesting idea.

About 2 months ago -- for a presentation about being vigilant with your smartphone on public APs -- I implemented a toolkit that was essentially a man-in-the-middle/evil twin -- a single channel BSS analysis tool which allowed for broadcast and targeted deauth injection along with a probe request monitor, all in one interface, and a DNS spoofer in the other interface. I used HostAP for network spoofing. Its the simplest exploit but was very interesting building the demo and the kids enjoyed it!

This is another good little attack piece to shove in!

Even Linux v1.0 has:

>> It aims towards POSIX compliance

in the readme

Very cool. I love seeing these home made operating systems. Nice to see an in-house C implementation! The feature list is very impressive. Screen shot of GCC running in the terminal is straight up smooth!

This is the best thing that could have happened

First thing to get a little closer to that better society -- we need to lose the shady system of secret courts the parents are taken through.
