It would hang on some connections when loading a webpage with a lot of small assets. I was surprised how many people found it useful. More so when Chrome web apps were supported on other platforms (mac/linux/windows).
- The only thing QW really added over vanilla "netquake" was client side movement prediction. Hitscan weapons (infinite velocity bullets) only let you know if you had hit or missed based on the response from the server. You had to lead your shots a certain amount based on your current latency in order to hit your target.
It was great though. It meant you could bunny hop around corners at extremely high speeds without running into walls.
- One low maintenance way of doing this would be to setup a SSH server at home (and configure your home NAT/Router to forward traffic to that machine)
Once you have SSH access to home there are a number of ways to tunnel your traffic (on desktop platforms, not sure about mobile). Sshuttle works pretty nice. You can also optionally just tunnel traffic for certain apps or browser profiles by using ssh -D (SOCKS5 proxy)
- Pretty funny. Found this in homebrew casks (https://github.com/yingDev/Tickeys)

- If you tried it out and were a little confused, here's a little blog post about the motivation and development of the "game": http://www.pippinbarr.com/words/2017/06/14/narrative-framing...
And some more information in form of a "press" release from the github: https://github.com/pippinbarr/itisasifyouweredoingwork/tree/...
I found the "game" to be somehow interesting.
- I spent a little time last week when I found out about this writing an extension to make the images work, https://github.com/kzahel/photobucket-embed-fix
The extension gets permission for Photobucket domains and modifies the referer header. Very simple.
- Use termux (termux.com) and then you can apt install many useful things (https://github.com/termux/termux-packages/tree/master/packag...)
You'll definitely want a keyboard
- Somewhat similar, Sony's project T http://www.futurelab.sony.net/T/ has a popup demo at 717 Market street during business hours. Anyone off the street can drop by. They have several other demos installed.
- That app can't serve a local directory. It has to make a copy to a sandbox filesystem first. Try this app instead: https://github.com/kzahel/web-server-chrome (https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/web-server-for-chr...)
- There is a great podcast released a few days ago by 99% invisible interviewing the creator of the site: http://99percentinvisible.org/episode/mcmansion-hell-devil-d...
- "The React Native package.json currently lists just 68 dependencies, but after running npm install the node_modules directory contains 121,358 files."
That, to me, is what is wrong with npm. The problem stems from node.js not coming with "batteries included" so there is a proliferation of tiny libraries that do the most trivial things.
- The Last Mile is now up and running in 4 California state prisons. Folsom Women's Facility, Ironwood State Prison, Chuckawalla State Prison, and of course San Quentin.
We're going to be expanding into a few more in 2017. You can see some of the details of how we setup the classroom here: https://github.com/thelastmile/intranet
- This is the free version: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/jstorrent-lite/abm...
It's just not searchable in the store by default.
