Title needs updating to add ‘in the US’ on the end.

This is awesome, I have the exact same problem. One thing though, when I go to install the extension it asks to read and change data on youtube.com, which makes sense, but also wants permission to access my browsing history. Just wondering why this is?

Chrome shows that warning if your extension requests access to the 'tabs' permission. https://developer.chrome.com/apps/permission_warnings#view_w...

In this case, it is needed to get the url and id of the tab. I'll have to go back and check if I can make do without depending on that because I agree it does not make sense for this extension to need 'access to my browsing history'. Also, I do intend to put the code up and link it in the extension description page soon, so you don't have to take my word for it!

Thanks for pointing this out.

Another great step for SpaceX. At the moment it feels like they're making progress every other week.

What sort of G loads do the astronauts in that capsule experience in an abort scenario? It shoots up much faster than a typical launch. The separation from the trunk looks fairly violent too.

And they intend to accelerate their schedule as they go! This is so exciting!

4-5 Gs.

Interestingly they don't show MySQL benchmarks in the readme; I suspect it might be because the MySQL implementation is pretty basic

MySQL support was definitely an afterthought and could probably be improved (maybe tracking the binary files directly?).

On a similar tip for PHP, check out my library Flywheel:

It's no way near as powerful as BlitzDB but I'm slowly adding features to it.

Are there any numbers on performance vs php itself?

It's not an interpreter - it parses PHP code into an abstract-syntax-tree (list of entities like open-if, variable, assignment, etc).

But with a transpiler, it could become an IL to PHP compilation via Go...?

Not that it would be faster or better than say, HHVM or any other of a number of compilers for PHP [1] but my knowledge of that space is quite limited.

[1] http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1408417/can-you-compile-p...

This could be a step in that process, but in the grand scheme of things required to compile one language to another, the mere front-end parser is not generally all that significant a portion of the effort. The vast majority of the effort would be the bug-for-bug compatible implementation of PHP semantics and base libraries and functionality.

("Bug-for-bug" here does not mean that PHP has a lot of bugs per se. What it is is the highest level of compatibility. An emulator of a game console strives to be "bug-for-bug" compatible, for instance. Programming and programming languages being what they are, anything less often turns out to be surprisingly non-linearly less useful, i.e., "80% compatible" isn't anywhere near "80% useful".)

A scene has sprung up around music based on algorithms, called Algorave http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Algorave

Vice did an article on the subject a few months back which gives an overview of the scene (from a layman's view) http://www.vice.com/en_uk/read/algorave-is-the-future-of-dan...

> it is quite contrary to normal raves due to the fact that the music can be very stop-and-start and the ingestion of MDMA, ketamine or other illicit drugs does not usually happen

Oh, this is so good, thanks for posting the link to Vice! Very much Oval-like performance, super awesome!

This is really, really interesting.

come and do some wavepot at an algorave

I'd love to! You guys have some amazing things going on there. I have some live performance features planned for wavepot, so yeah, not quite there yet! But keep an eye on it I'm sure you'll enjoy what I have in mind.

Meh, another PHP library using lengthy static methods making it impossible to extend.

Yeah I don't understand the use of statics here. I'm going to guess it's just so they can use the "nicer" syntax without having to instantiate a new object, which would honestly make more sense to me. That way you can inject a Link instance into your controller/views and just call `$link->route('namedRoute')`.

It looks tidier with the global.

I'm really fed up of sites like this that hijack scrolling, it prevents you from skim reading. Instead of scanning 100% of the page's content I've just left the site after reading about 20%.

Not only did they screw with vertical scrolling I can't swipe to go back in history, it just moves up a slide. Super annoying.

But it's so hip!

bleh

I didn't even notice, I just assumed I reached the end of the page after scrolling one "page" and swiping down on my trackpad didn't do anything more.

I would have thought 20% was skim reading?

There's a difference between reading 20% of 100% and 100% of 20%.
