Given that poor posture seems, at least in my case, to be a lack of good habit, how did you address this part? The exercises are intentional and engage the mind actively. But bad posture is what I do when I'm not paying attention... this se

A genuine question based on the requirement you gave for something to be scientific: how is Darwinian natural selection and the theory of macro (inter-species) evolution disprovable?

I didn't even know that one; thank you!

For what it's worth, you weren't the only one with that initial reaction. I remained woefully ignorant of DDG until Spring of this year (no clue how, I just missed it), but once discovering it, my definition of a good search tool has been f

I'm a bit younger and the father of two little boys; I had a very similar reaction. "Cool, I wonder how I can talk my sons into long boarding in the parks nearby when they get a little older." And yes, as someone who lives less than five m

Though it is a small thing, I offer my deepest thanks for such a reply.

Can you recommend any good literature discussing Galileo and Kepler and their "faith and reason" view of the cosmos? I do not ask contentiously but with genuine curiosity. In the (post) modern era there seems to be much noise about faith

So, Datomic is a persistent data structure persisted to nonvolatile storage... I've wanted one of these for at least the last 2 years. If only there was an open source implementation of this concept that I could run on my own hardware. Do

I can see "just a suggestion box" from the submitter perspective being really nice if it is really simple. I'm talking "e-mail your suggestions to box@getvetter.com" simple. Perhaps some sort of analysis/aggregation on the backend for th

Thanks for this! I've been out of good EDM mixes for about 5 years now because I didn't know where to get them. Podcasts just aren't the same...

So true - Paul Van Dyk was my gateway into the whole EDM genre. After that it was Tiesto and Van Buuren. Nu NRG is also good.

As the only adult in my household capable of driving (due to my wife's vision limitations), I'm quite excited by this - and so is my wife.

Could you please provide a little more detail; specifically the "blink gestures"? What libraries, any papers and/or online tutorials? A quick DDG search turned up only one paper from Princeton dating back to Fall '08. Thank you.

Thank you for pointing out to an avid CCW user that the Leinginen Support plugin had been released (not sure how I missed that by two weeks).

DI and The Crystal Method were my gateway into electronic music. Over a decade later and I haven't looked back.

Agreed; this was the most revolutionary idea for me when learning Clojure (coming from a classic C/C++/Java background). Clojure's approach to state is so good/different that it has completely changed the way I write code. It was a huge pa

I wondered if I'd be the first to suggest a LISP implementation... glad to see I wasn't.

Yes. Please do.

Agreed. The other one that seemed to fall into/near this category was MatterPort http://matterport.com/ They seem to be utilizing a Kinect for capturing texture-mapped point clouds of indoor environments and objects. If it really does t

Java got the vote from me, not because I hate it, not because it's a bad language, but because I use it every day. There is so much that is good about Java language which I take for granted after working with it for years and yet, given m

I found this a thought provoking talk at Strange Loop by the author of Lamina (async in Clojure) and Aleph (async networking in Clojure, built on Lamina).

Wait... why wasn't the sprite responsible for rendering itself from the beginning? sprite.render(context); or some such...

As a user of these I couldn't agree more! I've thoroughly enjoyed using them and reading the source. Having said that, could you do a remix of the Noir-blog example that uses Korma as the data layer :)

Because something designed to be reusable was probably designed with an eye towards reading the code a lot and may also (incidentally?) be more well factored?

Nice. Having the canvas consume the full client area in the browser would be helpful; there's a lot of wasted space in the margins. The title/input area could be top center and z-ordered above the canvas.
