Summarised by Claude from a sample of 6 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.

    Why not just adapt Isso for this? It already has a bunch of nice functionality. I personally just delegate the commenting to github and render the comments with javascript through github api. http://ivanzuzak.info/2011/02/18/github-hosted-comments-for-... Here's a nice overview of how this works.

  3. 1) Use Disqus/LiveFyre 2) Using GitHub issues (or some other role-your-own system): http://ivanzuzak.info/2011/02/18/github-hosted-comments-for-... 3) Go without comments - your blog is YOUR space on the web, if others want to respond, let them do it in their own space

  5. Related to your project: At my university, we learned basics of assembler programming in an IDE made by one of the professors. It was written in Xaw/Athena widget se. Now I see somebody has ported it to javascript: http://ivanzuzak.info/FRISCjs/webapp/

  7. Very nice. Still, I made the same thing 2 years ago: http://ivanzuzak.info/2011/02/18/github-hosted-comments-for-... The only difference is that I don't require users to log-in via OAuth, rather I point them to the issue page with the comments and they enter their comments there (which are then displayed on my blog). Less OAuth fuss (both for me and for users) with same functionality.

  8. This whole library is troll and people are trolling with it. This: new Matcher().find('Reg').anyWhitespace().capture((expr) => { expr.find('Exp') }).test('Reg Exp') vs: 'Reg Exp'.match('Reg\s(Exp)') > Its only redeeming feature is that it's fast (assuming you don't use the wrong features - lookaheads can cripple performance). Looking for alternative abstractions is very worthwhile. First, it's not particular feature…

  10. A couple things: 1. Be careful what you use regex's for. Email addresses are very difficult[0]. HTML is impossible[1]. 2. There are a number of tools that make it easier to understand, including [2].

  11. >"Instruction set summary Figure 5.2 shows FRISC 3's four instruction formats: one for control flow, one for memory loads and stores, one for ALU operations, and one for shift operations. The FRISC 3 uses unencoded instruction formats similar in spirit to those found on the NC4016, RTX 2000, and M17. All instruction formats use the highest 3 bits of the instruction to specify the instruction type. " Seems to me that…
