Selenium leaves trace in HTTP requests, so its use is quite detectable. The authors of PeopleSoft can include Selenium detection in their products, disallowing your automation scri…

I want to share my solution for remote collaboration and teaching: https://github.com/amkhlv/mathpump3 Professor uses Wacom and Inkscape to draw a picture, which is incrementally t…

Drawing with Wacom in Inkscape is a pleasure, once you get used to it. In some sense, it is more convenient than using a physical blackboard. Although, some training is needed...

Because of the virus, I wanted to share my solution for remote collaboration and teaching: https://github.com/amkhlv/mathpump3 Professor uses Wacom and Inkscape to draw a picture, …

Right, because computer programming (unlike computer science!) does not take a genius. It is, basically, a routine work. Unfortunately, there is a tendency to say the same about fu…

exercise is great, but one has to be careful, and avoid doing stupid things: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DgdP5U28jHc

I am developing a small program for navigating Linux desktop, with ergonomics in mind: https://github.com/amkhlv/wmjump The idea is to associate, subconsciously, a color to every t…

It seems that such exploit would require some kind of `network-manager` running. But if `network-manager` is disabled, and all interfaces configured in `/etc/network/interfaces`, t…

Right, but a custom HTTP header does not even have to contain a secret. I just has to have a non-standard name. Firefox will refuse setting it, right?

Perhaps a server, when running in development mode, should require a custom HTTP header? This would be a non-simple request, and the browser will refuse. Would this be a reasonable…

Here in Brazil, all NATs are either defective or ``symmetric'' whatever this means I am not an expert sorry. I do not expect STUN to work. As for TURN, this means traffic will go t…

STUN server is not a real solution. It is typically unable to penetrate NAT. Maybe WebRTC will work sometimes, but it is not a reliable solution. It is difficult to come up with al…

Dear William, thank you for your great work! My post was sarcastic. I completely agree with what you wrote in your comment. But I do believe that my guess about why your proposal w…

"making only some software available in US" --- you slightly missed my point. I meant "software only available in US". That would be impossible to achieve with Sage, as Sage is ope…

Academia needs some control mechanisms. Otherwise, the scientific research is at risk of becoming completely chaotic. Selective availability of software is one of those mechanisms.…

It says ``This video can’t be played with your current setup'' I guess must be some super-advanced new audio-codec. Please, recommend me how to get around this restriction!

You are right, and thank you for the link. Actually, let me use this to advertise my own fork of PdfViewer: https://github.com/amkhlv/pdfviewer I started that fork because I could …

Also, if they submit a revised version, it will be a different page. Anyway, I don't think we will ever get a good PDF reader, because there is no demand. People read HTML.

I dont know what is Adobe plugin. I will investigate. However, just based on its name, I would probably recommend removing it. The combination of these two words, ``Adobe'' and ``p…

Thanks for the link, I will have a look! Although, in terms of typography you cannot beat LaTeX. That's what LaTeX is good at. But the thing is, I don't care so much about the typo…

I want to put a hyperlink to Eq. (4.4) of http://arxiv.org/abs/hep-th/9907164 What is the right format? How can it even in principle work? If I click on the link: http://arxiv.org/…

The main problem with LaTeX is that it does not have a good hyperlink mechanism. So, I am thinking about how to switch from LaTeX to HTML. I have a markup system based on Racket: h…
