Google's Carlo sort of does that. It uses your system's already-installed Chrome instead of packaging another one.

While we've started with outbound fetch/HTTP, we certainly plan on adding additional functionality over time.
Hi there! I'm one of Osgood's authors.
To clarify a few things:
1. Any tool that reduces the privileges of your application code, such as Osgood or Deno, is doing so because application code cannot necessarily be trusted, since you're pulling in external dependencies that can have vulnerabilities or malicious code, and even one's own code may have unknown vulnerabilities that may cause unexpected IO behaviour to happen.
2. The policies you can set with Osgood are defined in a JavaScript file that is run separately from your application code (i.e. the worker files), and it only runs once to build up the policy data structures in native code. This V8 Isolate is then discarded. This means that application code cannot modify its own policies.
I hate to nitpick but this is definitely a North American Dialect Map, rather than just an American Dialect Map.
Thanks! I hadn't seen share.js before. I'll have to look into it.
In my case, I was denied entry due to a paperwork error in Toronto and so had to stay at a hotel to catch a flight the next day. It would have been nice had everything been arranged and applied for ahead of time.
Hmm, I don't want to be spammy, but this could be a good idea. Anyone else have thoughts on this?
Will add that soon!
Just an ebook to start. If there's enough interest, I'll see about doing a print edition.
Thanks!
Congrats Wells!
I'm confused. If you're not located in the US, why do you need to be DMCA-compliant?
That's the sort of picture that makes me feel a tad patriotic (I'm Canadian).
I'm curious. Why do you install Mercurial without Homebrew?
The other question is whether the postal code data falls under Crown Copyright (http://publications.gc.ca/site/eng/ccl/aboutCrownCopyright.h...). There all all kinds of restrictions and freedoms that come along with that.
Of course, it might not be the case that Canada Post data is under Crown Copyright, since it's a Crown corporation and not a government department. IANAL.
The whole world has postal codes. Some are simpler than others. It would be nice to see an API like this one that supported more than just one country.
Perhaps that's what the creator intended?
I've used this. It only makes sense for very small images. You basically have to lower your font size down to unreadable levels in order to even see an image of any reasonable size, much less edit it.
I love vim and like to keep as much of my development environment inside it as possible, but it's a text editor.
Earth Class Mail?
I agree. I work in a team with alumni from many different universities and I think the differences between the schools add to the diversity of the team and increases the number of angles at which we tackle problems. A good fit is important, but preferentially hiring your own university's alumni seems like a good way to prevent building the best team you can.
Yes, you're going to have some culture differences, but so what? Every company I've worked for has made it's own culture.
You can make this happen on any arbitrary page, just for fun.
Note: this also works: http://www.google.com/#q=$%7B
It's somewhat simpler than that. QR codes use error-correcting codes in order to deal with things like damaged codes, etc. The QR code reader treats the logo or art part of Paperlinks' codes as damage, and uses the error-correcting code to fill in the blanks. I did the same thing (only less artistic) with Groovebud's codes. https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/agpbffgdfhnhloelam...
Not necessarily. For example, if you're having a parcel delivered to your home, but it arrives when you're at the office, you'd want to be notified when this happens. Maybe your significant other or roommate signed for it. Maybe no one signed for it and there will be another delivery attempt. This sort of thing happens to me all the time for packages I don't want delivered to my office.
On the other hand, notification of other tracking events would be useful too. I'd make it optional to have those.
Some kind of notification that I'm on a paid access point rather than a free one would be nice. Too often I'm on one of my mobile devices and I'll connect to a network named after the location I'm in (say, "Moe's Tavern"), and there's no indication that it's a Boingo, Broadstreet or whatever other kind of paid hotspot. If I'm not using my browser first (say a Twitter client instead), I get "connection refused" or something that makes me think fail whale rather than "I need to open up MobileSafari and cough up some coin to go any further". The whole non-browser hotspot experience could use a lot of work.
We've seen a few of these sorts of services pop up lately. Do any of them (including this one) fall back to XHR long-polling, etc. when WebSockets aren't available? I'd like to see data for all my visitors, or at least most of them.
If all you need is coordinates, there's always W3C's geolocation API: http://dev.w3.org/geo/api/spec-source.html
I'm in a building near the Ottawa airport, and I must say, it was pretty violent here. Some monitors fell over. The cellular networks appeared to not be able to handle all the sudden traffic, but that seemed to ease up after a few minutes.
Well, I'm heading to Tied house at 8pm. I'll be the tall Canadian in jeans and a blue striped shirt. And goofy hair.
