It's in the bar along the bottom. Very similar to Textmate.


reddit is currently working for me.


That's how the 'following' circle works. Notch makes a 'public' post, and everyone who has him in their following circle will receive the update.


No, Notch posts frequently about Minecraft. So everyone who follows him but don't care about Minecraft will get those posts. That's the problem. The only solution now is for him to not post Minecraft related material to Public, but to a particular circle, say "Minecraft" which, due to how Circles work now, he has to bear 100% of the effort to maintain the people in it, which is not feasible (as I described above).


I see pyramids with firefox 4. I'm not sure what the 'mindfuck' part is though...


are you on windows? I find this happens on windows more so than mac. I believe its a combination of bad hinting combined with Microsoft's very crisp font smoothing. Windows can really mess with the kerning as well...


No, I'm in Ubuntu. In Windows I leave the about:flags alone since I use it so rarely.


Fonts in Ubuntu can be absolutely unpredictable when it comes rendering time. I remember an install of msttcore-fonts that I thought would allow me to see sites built with Verdana, Tahoma, etc. similarly to Chrome on a windows box. Not even close, and I'm talking about the kerning, not even the subpixel quality.

IIRC as sibsib said windows takes major liberties with the kerning to keep its core fonts on the pixel grid, and if msttcore-fonts are hinted, they sure don't come out at all similar to the windows versions.


Not anymore. My fonts in Ubuntu are gorgeous and consistent everywhere except some Java applications, and even then Eclipse hasn't given me trouble for several releases of Ubuntu.

I know Mac users drool over their fonts, and as an owner and heavy user of my MBP, I much, much prefer Ubuntu's font rendering to OS X's and ClearType.

This is something very, very different. It's only on specific sites and it's only in Chrome when I have the hardware acceleration turned on.


I wasn't even aware hardware acceleration in Chrome worked on Linux.


this looks pretty cool. Happen to know any similar projects for python?


I'm impressed so far. I've been looking for something like this.


I didn't even notice they were gone at first...


what does this have to do with jailbreakers? The data in question is accessible on the machine the person syncs their phone with. It's conceivable that third parties could easily gain access to it.

I'm sure people have all kinds of other sensitive private info on their machines, but how much of it is easy to automatically parse and analyze?


for python-specific, there is also http://www.nongnu.org/pyreb/ . It supports named capture groups, etc.
