[X] My Assistant

Since a couple of days ago I need to use Emacs to write some Java stuff (ew... I know). vim is very poor when dealing with java syntax highliting. To use Emacs I needed to stop using the Alt key as the Mod key of xmonad, so I mapped that useless windows key to be the xmonad Mod key. The problem is that now everytime I change screen out of HV I cast a spell (Alt+digit) before remembering that Alt is not the Mod key anymore.

need... HD sale :/

I can't decide if developers are becoming commodities or if developers have the only tech job that will retain value in the future.

Developers are traded around like commodities these days. In theory the best units will have a higher value.

I was thinking of creating an irc bot that lurks around on a given channel for a given amount of time and analyzes the prevalence of words being used, in order to end up with a useful vocabulary list of common words.
Then I realized that the language I want to analyze is Japanese. Fuck. How am I going to make it split up the sentences without damn spaces?!

EDIT: hmmm pattern recognition

Don't try it. Jap is one of the worst if not THE worst language to get a vocabulary on (there's a reason for the limited search capabilities using the japanese script in the galleries)

Source: the second chapter in the [nlp.stanford.edu] book by the guys from yahoo search engine exemplifies Jap as the worst language to get a consistent set of words from (by parsing real text that is).

We used to do that with a dark bot/smart bot clone a decade ago, but with English...

The only con was that I ran the bot on my IRC nick and it got to the stage that people wouldn't believe it when I was online or thought the bot was me when I was offline lol. The bots ended up being banned when we started getting them all to insult each other.

Not sure if the same thing exists for Japanese.

Sounds likes a useless endeavor.

My opinion of Blink implementations

Opera >>>> Iron > Chrome

A shame that nobody is using Opera T.T

I've been looking to port my Chrome extensions to Firefox but that Add-on SDK thing seems specifically engineered to annoy the shit out of me

Correction: it's not the API as much as the documentation that's causing the rustling
Highlights of the experience so far:
- The sdk on the site doesn't work. The one in the git repository thankfully does.
- The documentation fails to mention open bugs but does warn about bugs that were fixed over six months ago.
- No option to set a badge on a widget, have to do it with html. Apparently I'm also forced to use 16px icons.
- Can't inject buttons directly into the toolbar because the developers don't like it.
- The port system seems decent enough, even though some object are convert into strings for no apparent reason.
- Used the sdk for a few hours and I've already run into a bug that's been open for over 2 years. Brilliant.
- Using standard XMLHttpRequests apparently was too logical, they had to introduce a special request module.
- Why can't panels resize automatically to fit their contents?

[rustling intensifies]

Jesus Qt really wants you to know you're using Qt with it constant Qs in every freaking function.
Even worse they like to change the "rules" as soon as you use a sub-class so all the sudden moving an object is limited to alignments and positions instead of precise x, y way all for the sake of having freaking stretch on...

...God I hate all GUI libraries.

I'm trying out a program called [www.autohotkey.com] AutoHotkey. It works on a script engine and I'm having so much fun playing around with it. I even made a hotstring to curse in Finnish:

huora saatana huora perse perkele huora jumalauta vittu jumalauta perkele paska perse jumalauta huora helvetti ripuli perkele jumalauta perkele ripuli vittu ripuli ripuli perkele perkele

I was just trying to remember the name of autohotkey for another thread lol.

You can even make a primitive HV bot with it too xD

Though you should try[www.autoitscript.com] AutoIt. It's basically a more complete version of AHK (AHK was made by a member of the AIt team, IIRC). Though both have the same bug with ControlSend T.T

Okay, this is bullshit.

Suspicious extensions disabled

You are seeing this notification because we noticed that you have one or more extensions that aren't listed in the Chrome Web Store or may have been installed to your Chrome browser by third party program without your knowledge. We have automatically disabled these extensions for you, to make Chrome safer.

Extensions that have been disabled will appear grayed out and you won't be able to re-enable them.

Okay, this is bullshit.

--allow-outdated-plugins

Try that, if not then try a portable Iron for testing.

Doesn't work, it won't let me enable extensions that are not in their store
I resorted to using unpacked extensions, which is what I was using before Chrome started nagging me about how bad having unpacked extensions is as they "can harm my computer"
[productforums.google.com] And it's intentional, by the way.

On the bright side,

We are only enforcing this policy on Windows beta/stable channels, since that is where the problems are.

And to Canary we go!

Edit: and it works. Aw yiss
