Viewing profile — empyrical

They used to let you sort subscriptions into "Collections", but they removed this feature in 2015. I remember they teased they might bring it back in 2021, but I haven't seen much …

I love the little part with the fake Windows BSOD. The QR code is supposed to link to the documentation page on error boundaries, but sadly it's broken

Yes, there's code in Chromium going back to the KDE/ Konqueror and WebKit days that's LGPL licensed. Mostly in the Blink rendering engine like you linked.

You really should not use this ever in any situation, but for historical reasons[1], if they are the only thing on the line you can use HTML comments in JavaScript like so: functio…

It looks like they're transitioning/have transitioned to editing the books with Google Docs: https://openstax.org/blog/saying-goodbye-cnx

Also, Chromium's Blink renderer has a lot of LGPLv2 source files that date back to the KDE KHTML days[1] and as you can see by the numerous proprietary applications that use Electr…

Basically what this commenter said, but substitute WebP and WebM for HEIF and HEVC https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26298606 GIFs have a nice convenience to them that straight-…

I really hope that HEIF animations can take the place of GIFs someday. http://nokiatech.github.io/heif/comparison.html

Travis CI was, to my knowledge, the only CI provider that let you test projects on IBM Power and Z. [1] Are there any alternatives? [1] https://blog.travis-ci.com/2019-11-12-multi-…

The build scripts and the JS files in the project that interact with FFmpeg and give it a JS API are licensed under the MIT license, but FFmpeg itself is still LGPL.

> Electron (MIT licence) It's not 100% MIT. Chromium's Blink renderer has LGPLv2.1 code going back to the KDE KHTML days, such as some of the code for the DOM: https://github.com/c…

Unmounting/ejecting a drive by dragging its desktop icon to the trash. I know you did this in really old macs to eject a floppy, but it's cool they keep that feature around on mode…

I am not sure if it's still this way, but I think at least some versions of the Qt Commercial License disallowed you from having user scripting in your application - or at least, e…

Also, whether a system is ARM or Intel could be used as another bit of entropy for fingerprinting.

The terms of their commercial license may have been evolving, but the terms of the open source has not. GPL is GPL and LGPL is LGPL. The terms of those licenses prohibit additional…

It's from the Guardian Open Platform[1], which has a clause in the TOS[2] requiring that that the "Powered By The Guardian" logo be displayed where you display Guardian content > I…

This seems like a modern equivalent of Google Chrome Frame[1], pretty cool! [1]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_Chrome_Frame

I am referring to both styles of "bounce". Would be nice to have the former to implement "pull to refresh"

Qt5 can be made to look pretty close to a native Mac app, but one thing I haven't figured out yet is if there's a way to get that "bouncy" effect you get when you scroll to either …

Sometimes you can also run into situations where someone returned an external hard drive, but they swapped the drive inside with a cheap low capacity drive (like a 500gb drive put …

I don't see anything like that either. The second paragraph even says this: > Either for free or for a price. Also, there's stuff from KDE in the marketplace too: https://marketpla…
