    I think Servo's killer application would be a mobile-first browser for postmarketOS/Mobian/other mobile Linux distros. It's a weird vacuum because Firefox has its Android port, but…

    Btw. what happened to the XO-4 order? (I couldn't leave a comment on that post of yours because I found it too late)

    I was wondering if one could build an alternative Electron with Duktape and Netsurf's rendering engine and what the memory footprint would be? Most Electron apps don't even use ani…

    This reminds me of Elchemy ( https://github.com/wende/elchemy ) which uses the Elm compiler to output "readable" Elixir. I wonder if anyone has played with both and can compare the…

    What's even worse is that the install script at https://www.opscode.com/chef/install.sh is also unavailable, which is the default way of getting chef installed onto newly provision…

    Does Google actually allow you to use the tiles, as long as you credit them? Could I do something similar in a commercial app?

    The author of the article seem to think that a good iOS icon is a one that uses a perspective trick to produce a faux 3d effect. I'm not sure these are very usable when sized down …

    So F-Secure has access and randomly digs through e-mails going through their virus scanner?

    Red Laser is doing something similar, and being on the other side (we were developing an app that needed to use barcode scanning) I strongly disliked the idea that I have to share …

    This behaviour is implemented with few lines of code in the sample app, but we should probably make this the default behaviour in the framework itself with an option to override it…

    Off topic, but it always surprises me how someone with all this knowledge can ..well, use Comic Sans for the presentation. While I understand that it's about games and that Comic S…
