Today's achievement
-
Today's (well, yesterday's) achievement: got the rewritten communications layer working enough to move 51MB off the machine, all using 256 byte packets (because that's the largest supported by the OS on the system). And it's about 5% faster than the original Python code despite being an utterly I/O-bound process with an identical (and pretty slow) far end. Which is nice.
Next up, get the faster data movement protocol working, which should go about 4 times faster.

@ben_lubar I usually don't feel like I'm missing very much from these posts... this time, though, I think it actually added something...

If you quote the post instead of just clicking the reply button, it should give you a URL you can view the post with.
I've been trying to fix the resizing for the "show more" button but apparently it's not good enough.

@ben_lubar I see
lubar.mein the NoScript blocked list and I assume that's probably the reason, but I don't feel motivated enough to whitelist it.

why would it block a script that just calls postMessage with the height it wants

Was some part of the name "NoScript" confusing to you?

I thought NoScript was supposed to block annoying scripts, or scripts that used up a lot of resources.
Neither of those things are true of a script that simply reports the height of its own page to the parent page's iframe.

I see lubar.me in the NoScript blocked list

And how, exactly, does it analyze that without running the script?

I would assume it could run the script and then kill it once it tries to do something outside of a very small set of whitelisted APIs.

Well, the word "whitelist" was supposed to be your other clue. The idea behind NoScript is that letting all scripts run by default is dangerous and/or annoying, and therefore, whenever you come across a site that doesn't work properly without scripts, it gives you two options: Whitelist specific host names until the site works well enough, or just decide that you don't care if it works or not. Once the sites that you use frequently have all been whitelisted enough that they work, then it basically just blocks all of the third-party trackers, etc. that you haven't explicitly allowed. And it can also be configured to block objects, media, frames, fonts, webgl, ajax, and "other" (and no, I have no idea what that's supposed to mean).
It does have options to disable it for the current tab, which comes in handy occasionally.
