Re: Waterproof 500000mAh dual USB portable solar power bank for $13, free shipping

Joey Gibson — Thu, 16 May 2019 12:52:17 -0000

From the spec sheet on the Walmart link, there's this:

Manufacturer's Nominal Capacity: 500,000mAh;
Actual capacity: ~15000-18000mAh

That means the battery has >10x less storage than the title would make you think. This is not a deal.

It's so weird to be watching Scott's video, and hear my name. That bass is sooooooo amazing. Thanks again for letting me have it! :-)

Re: Why Not Go (Golang) There? · Computing Thoughts

I spent most of 2013 working with Go (I even gave a talk on it to the new user group here in Atlanta). I loved the remarkably fast builds and the built-in stuff that you mentioned. The thing that finally made me leave it was the lack of generics. I understand their decision to leave them out, since they were targeting systems programming, and not necessarily general-purpose programming; but I needed general purpose, and not having generics makes that frustrating.

I'm American, yet I pronounce it as "ASS-ok".

Once you've worked in a language with first-class functions, it's hard to go back to one that does not. After reading this post, just for fun, I knocked up a Clojure macro that does the same thing. It has the extra added niftyness that it can accept a single expression, or multiple ones. You can see it, colorized, with two examples at https://gist.github.com/joe...

I would love a hi-res version of that. It would make a great iPad wallpaper.

Cain's plan does not (from my understanding) do away with state/county/local sales taxes. Just like the "Fair Tax," the proponents say that this is only for federal matters, but that local sales taxes probably/might go away, too. To which I say, "yeah, right."

Re: A 1Password alpha for Chromium is here

Joey Gibson — Fri, 22 Jan 2010 03:43:00 -0000

I just installed it with Chrome 4.0.295.0 dev and it works fine. As one person said, the popup is fairly ugly, but it works, and that's what matters at this point. I have completely switched to Chrome on both Windows and OSX, and it was getting annoying not having 1Password during my Mac browsing. Thanks for working on this, guys! :-)

Re: Stuff I Like: Instapaper

Joey Gibson — Tue, 25 Aug 2009 14:50:24 -0000

I didn't realize that Google Reader now had Instapaper support. I started using Instapaper a couple of weeks ago, and I love it. Did you know that Tweetie on the iPhone has Instapaper support built in, which is really nice. I use that support all the time in Tweetie.

Re: How to fix Google Chrome scrolling too fast

Wow! Thanks so much for this tip! I already had KatMouse installed for hover-over scrolling, but this tip makes it even more worth having.

Re: Sun Preps RIA Resurgence With New Java Release

Joey Gibson — Tue, 21 Oct 2008 22:50:16 -0000

As for Java being pre-installed on OSX, that's an ancient version. Apple has only just released Java 1.6_07 a few weeks ago, and it's ONLY for 64bit machines.

Re: Comment Policy: Should all blogs have one?

Joey Gibson — Fri, 12 Sep 2008 09:14:54 -0000

I use WordPress' comment engine, and I have it set to moderate the first comment from someone. It works beautifully for me. The only comments that I actually delete are the ones that are clearly spam, but somehow Akismet missed them, or that are just vulgar screeds, or have nothing to do with the post. I haven't had any backlash, but of course my traffic is not that great... :-(

Re: “Learnings” is not a word!!!!

What I really hate is how "gifting" is becoming popular instead of "giving." That really annoys me.

Unfortunately this happens on my side of the spectrum too, but not quite as often. I agree, it's extremely annoying. These kids today... :-)

Re: Where VMWare Fusion Shines Over Parallels Desktop

Joey Gibson — Wed, 15 Aug 2007 09:33:58 -0000

The Linux non-integration you mentioned is no longer the case. I have Parallels 3.0 (specifically build 4560) with a Kubuntu image, and I don't have to click to activate, or press Ctrl-Enter to get back to OSX. It works just like the Windows integration does. It may not support shared folders, but since it's a networked device, you can use ssh or SMB.
