Abstract
========

This project aims at allowing users to record normal usage on a
website and then have a script generated that can reproduce such
actions.

This script is generated in Ruby and can be changed and mixed with
existing Ruby code to extend its behaviour, using regular Ruby
variables, loop constructs, etc.

// FIXME: this can very rapidly hit the call stack size limit

function findPropertyValue(obj, value) { 
  if (typeof obj.seenBefore === "undefined") {
    // treat for object graph circularity
    obj.seenBefore = true; 
    
    for (var key in obj) {
      if (obj[key] == value) {
        return key;

Can NAT traversal be Tor's killer feature?

tl;dr: how about a virtual global flat LAN that maps static IPs to onion addresses?

[We all know the story][1]. Random feature gets unintentionally picked up as the main reason for buying/using a certain product, despite the creator's intention being different or more general. (PC: spreadsheets; Internet: porn; smartphones: messaging.)

Putting the "Tor" back in Torrent

How a Popcorn Time fork patch could incentivize people to run thousands of new Tor relays

This is a follow-up to this discussion: Can NAT traversal be Tor's killer feature?

If torrents are P2P's killer application, and NAT traversal/"static IP" are Tor's (via hidden services), putting them together could prove to be the best incentivization scheme for growing the Tor network other than cold crypto cash.

You're stupid

Everybody knows you're not supposed to use torrents with tor, right?

Update: found something close enough: http://readlang.com/.

Wish: "Read it later" plus "spaced repetition" app for language learners

• All the usual ways of sending articles to this "Pocket" app: email, browser extensions, the app itself.
• While reading, select word of phrase, have it translated and added to app as a flashcard. Front: word/phrase highlighted in context; Back: translation + optional notes.
• Batch mode: toggle batch mode, select multiple words/phrases, have their definitions/translations all added as flashcards.
• Optionally, go through those new cards right away (as opposed to studying them only in the random-ish order of the whole set's spaced repetition) and, when finished, go back to text. This way you can quickly go through a paragraph in batch mode, mark everything you don't understand, study it, then go back to read it with the necessary vocabulary.
• When not reading, user can go through flashcards with a spaced repetition algorithm and interface similar to Brainscape's. From

This just follows Option 2 in this tutorial: https://docs.npmjs.com/getting-started/fixing-npm-permissions

The only difference is not using ~ because I read somewhere something chokes on it sometimes. So $HOME.

mkdir ~/.npm-global
npm config set prefix $HOME/.npm-global

in ~/.bashrc:
