I remember the acid house generator, but I missed that constellation of samples sounds really interesting. Would love to see it if you had a link.

And when I tried it, for me seemed to have the best call quality, it was better than my network call quality.
This is really cool. I really like the cpu / profiling usage too for flame graphs.

For disk usage I would normally use du and/or filelight which is also great.

This is a nice way to visualise all the sub directories too in one go though.

Yeah, I just switched to rdio and I love it. The interface is so clean and slick. It's a lot less buggy / unreliable than Spotify imo. It's such a pity.
And I just switched from Spotify to rdio. What timing!

Just tried to understand the last bit myself.

So he's doing 0["constructor"] which gives the constructor of a number, Number. Then he's 0["constructor"]["constructor"] gives the constructor of Number, which is like a function, so he gets Function.

    var y = (0)["constructor"]["constructor"];
    y == Function;                                 // true
Then he basically does this ($.$ == Function):

    Function(
        Function(
            "return \"alert('I love you');\""
        )()
    )();
The inner function just returns the string "alert('I love you');", which then becomes the body for the outer function.

I don't know why they didn't make it:

Function ("alert('I love you');")();

Maybe they needed more chars for the heart. That was a good little crash course in javascript Function constructors!

Do you know of any good alternatives with servers outside the US?

I think you just send the SDF a dollar bill, that's it. You could just call a friend at the other side of the country and ask them to send it.

One problem is https urls don't seem to work properly, the colon seems to be stripped from the input.

https://duckduckgo.com changes to https//duckduckgo.com, which doesn't work, so you have to resort to the unsecure version.

I think we need a decentralized, anonymous filesharing protocol, something like i2p or tor, but optimised / adapted for bittorrent.

It would have to be something that anyone can use and is a no brainer to get working. Could even use something like paypal / google checkout / bitcoin to allow artists to accept payments for their uploads.

Crashes for me too.

Just read this on the site:

Some users have reported that the game may run on Windows XP and 2GB RAM. A known bug will crash the game on computers with some Intel graphics chipsets.

I have one of those hybrid graphics setups for laptops, so maybe that's the problem.

Doesn't seem to work for me either on Windows 7 64bit.

Just installed direct X from microsoft's site, still no joy. Crashes just after intro.

Any other libraries I might be missing?

I use this: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/pixlr-grabber...

Allows you to capture a defined region or the entire page, and upload / edit it online.

There's lots of scripts that let you do this with imgur.

I'm sure it would be possible to do the same with this, but I think the site isn't really aimed at 'nix gurus! :D
