    1. Senator Frank Church said of NSA technology in 1975 words which are more urgent today: "That capability at any time could be turned around on the American people and no American would have any privacy left. There would be no place to hide. If this government ever became a tyranny, the technological capacity that the intelligence community has given the government could enable it to impose total tyranny. There would be no way to fight back, because the most careful effort to combine together in resistance to the government, no matter how privately it was done, is within the reach of the government to know. Such is the capacity of this technology."

      Money quote.

    1. Developers are an important demographic. Apple says they are the biggest segment of Macbook Pro users, which means they spend a lot of money. And they’re a demographic underserved by Chromebooks today.
    2. Chrome OS defenders can come up with some janky web or Android apps that roughly emulate some of these use cases, but none of them are the kind of industry-defining programs you get on other platforms. This is the third generation of these premium Chrome OS flagships, though, so Google must be happy with the presumably low-volume sales of a device like this. If you liked the other Chromebook Pixels, you’ll like this one, but nothing here closes the gap between Chrome OS and other laptop OSes.

      what?!

    1. doesn't provide developers with the means to import such modules of code in a clean, organized manner. It's one of the concerns with specifications that haven't required great thought until more recent years where the need for more organized JavaScript applications became apparent.

    1. We believe the key aspect of 4G P2P is removing the need for any server: zero-server P2P. Without the need for servers it could offer unbounded scalability and be used potentially by millions of PCs and Internet-only television sets. Crafting an operational system which such a academically pure architecture has proven to be difficult. To date, no research team or start-up company has been able to create a pure P2P system which includes required features such as streaming, easy search, and spam prevention.

    1. Handy javascript constructor tip: you can include a this instanceof Widget check like above to let people consume your module with new Widget or Widget(). It's nice because it hides an implementation detail from your API and you still get the performance benefits and indentation wins of using prototypes.

    1. ICE always tastes better when it trickles!

      Trickle ICE<br> Begin connectivity checks while gathering candidates.

      A candidate is a address:port/transport triplet. Simply speaking: the more local a candidate is, the higher its priority.

      The connection initiation process can be speed up from up to 10 seconds to milliseconds.

    1. distance between to identifiers is defined as the bitwise exclusive or (XOR) interpreted as an integer. The XOR is symmetric and allows nodes to receive lookup queries from the samedistribution of nodes contained in their routing tables. This property makes the system learn useful routing information from the received queries.

    1. BitSwapnodes exchange their ledger information. If it does notmatch exactly, the ledger is reinitialized from scratch, losingthe accrued credit or debt. It is possible for malicious nodesto purposefully \lose" the Ledger, hoping to erase debts. Itis unlikely that nodes will have accrued enough debt to war-rant also losing the accrued trust; however the partner nodeis free to count it as misconduct, and refuse to trade.

    1. Creating a Mobile-First Responsive Web Design
      • Mobile first CSS. Add styles for bigger screens not the reverse.
      • Reduce requests by using data-URLs for small images.
      • Use Content Fragments and conditionally load them using JS.
      • Good breakpoints:
        • 28.75em wide - roughly the size of mobile phones in landscape mode.
        • 40.5em - roughly tablets in portrait mode or small desktop screens.
      • Take advantage of mobile-centric features like phone links and touch events.

      Still trying to grasp the implications. Anybody else studying this?

    1. several filesystems show performance improvements including XFS and Btrfs

      Now using btrfs on my notebook. Works fine!

      One of the reasons for using it (from btrfs.wiki.kernel.org):

      "SSD (Flash storage) awareness (TRIM/Discard for reporting free blocks for reuse) and optimizations (e.g. avoiding unnecessary seek optimizations, sending writes in clusters, even if they are from unrelated files. This results in larger write operations and faster write throughput)"

      Since btrfs once ate my data (pre 1.0) I did several crash simulations to boost my confidence beforehand.
