On: Innovation in Violinmaking (1998)

IIRC I actually used some tape when I was starting to learn the violin. But it does not make sense after that. The different tones are a lot closer to getter than on the gitar, so you can only mark some of them. Then you are back to the start since you still have to use other means to know where to put your fingers.

Does it exist something similar for cables on land?

That is the plan for io.js. Doing releases often and LTS at some interval.

On: Show HN: Configure domain redirects and URL forwar...

I have done something similar myself. First I tried to put the TXT record at the same domain which I did want to redirect. To tackle the CNAME problem did I come up with a complicated solution which I also did write up (https://github.com/tellnes/dhr2). But when I actually tried to use it was it too complicated.

What I'm actually using now and have been using for some time is just a simple TXT record at a subdomain (eg _redirect.example.com). I also have a script which looks for these TXT records in my zones and adds A/AAAA records when needed.

You can check it out as follows:

    dig TXT +noall +answer _redirect.infogym.no
    dig A +noall +answer infogym.no
    dig AAAA +noall +answer infogym.no
    curl -Is infogym.no | grep Location

The plan is at some point to put the scripts I actually use on GitHub, but I have never come so far.

It looks like they have removed most of the DNS records, but eu-central-1.amazonaws.com still gives an authorative answer.

Eval is evil.

Don't pass a string as first argument to setTimeout.

[camus → tellnes]

But if you really need eval ( i do sometimes yes ) , use scoped evals with a function constructor.

    var myEval = new Function("my().stuff().to().eval();");

    myEval();
