The key is removed from the main hashtable and thus not accessible by the normal code path. It's appended to the internal list for deletion then. That's basically just moving around a pointer.

A manual rename is not needed.


Ah appreciated. It was a lot going over my head.


It's easy to just throw the streams of Soundcloud songs against whatever music player you have at hand. MPD even has a playlist plugin, which correctly handles basic soundcloud.com urls and handles all the API stuff for you.


Could you expand on this? I want to use Sentinel in an upcoming project and would be glad to hear what downsides I'll face


Neat. Apart from the bright red color of the search field, it's great! I just started playing around a little with Clojure and having the docs right at your fingertips definitely helps.


Agreed. It should just change the text colour and there is also a bug where if the text field is blank it still shows as red. Otherwise brilliant site.



Oh, and of course you need that google analytics stuff in there.



I have seen this explanation and frankly I find it ridiculous. Multiple databases as a dictionary layer?


I don't really like the idea of signing up with my github account. But I like the idea of Gitter.

One small improvement: Link the "@GitChat" on the confirmation page to the twitter account ;)


Hey, thanks for the improvement. Done. Shipped like squirrel.

Why don't you like the idea of signing up with GitHub? Feedback will be very valuable for us, thanks.


Not the parent, but I'm reluctant to give a website access to an account I care about just for a trial. If I know that I want to use your service, sure, but not if I just want to casually evaluate it.


I agree with this, but it's better than the alternative of signing up for a brand new username / password combo!

What would you have in mind instead?


(Not parent or parent's parent)

Email and password. It's not really better to be fair

I can give a new service a disposable email address, I don't have a disposable Github/Facebook/Twitter/etc account. Not even a shred of a chance of me testing something if you're requesting anything other than the most basic of read-only permissions too


"I don't have a disposable Github/Facebook/Twitter/etc account."

Now there's a business idea: Mailinator for shady sites harvesting "social" accounts.


I'd like to try it out without signing up at all. Do you sign up for IRC?


A moving background makes it easy to read! Thumbs up!


Indeed! Glad you like it.

Jokes aside, if you hate it, you can turn it off at the bottom right. Maybe some day I'll disable it by default. But for now, I kind of enjoy these responses. Edit: very well, it's disabled by default. :)


;) I did not see the "normal background" link on my first visit. I already instapaper'd the article. Let's see if I can add a more serious comment after I read it.


I'm sorry but when I can't scroll without horrible lag because someone decided to make a distracting background, it's a serious usability problem.


It does a fantastic job of pegging one CPU!


Yeah, I've noticed that Chrome is especially bad since it still does very little to GPU-accelerate SVG. Frankly, one reason I had left it enabled for so long was to make a point about Chrome's bad GPU+SVG support. Why should it be necessary to use the CPU to move a semi-circle?

But in any case, I'd rather not distract from the points I'm trying to make in the blog entry, so the background is now off by default.


Where does it actually run well? It doesn't peg a core on Safari, but scrolling still feels laggy and unpleasant. I initially assumed you'd implemented your own inertial scrolling, as with old Google mobile sites.


It runs well on all my PCs, which admittedly are all Windows. It's just an SVG+SMIL animation. My opinion is that in 2013, it should run entirely on the GPU. But I acknowledge that's not the case as much as I think it should be.

On my box, it uses ~2.1% CPU and ~16% GPU in Aurora.


Ah, yep; it actually works quite acceptably in Firefox. Very unpleasant in Chrome and Safari, though.


This talk is from the sigint 2013 (http://sigint.ccc.de/), the CCC's summer conference. Nadim's talk was just the day after Decryptocat was published.
