Hello Alan, I'm curious if you've read much about Activity Theory. (in particular, Yrjö Engeström's Learning by Expanding.) I feel like it's compatible with much of what I've heard you discuss in lectures. Is it som

Irrelevant how? Is it irrelevant that the examples fail to back up the assertion because Peter Thiel is the one making it? The 'big idea' expressed in this blurb is that it's 'easier to copy a model than to make somethin

Because it's not like marbles. It's not a math thing. It's more like a canary in the coal mine. If the canary dies, you should check on the air quality. If they went through the trouble of removing the brown m&ms you have

Can't speak precisely to the application used in this example, but a common and important feature of programs like this is mapping the knobs and sliders of the UI to real-life knobs and sliders on a physical control station. Some conso

Would anybody be seriously interested in this? I'm currently writing code for a printshop that does fine-art reproductions of various size on paper, canvas, and stretched canvas. We're somewhat under our print capacity and I could easily ju

This appears to use ShareJS for collaborative editing. Like Google Wave, ShareJS sends all operations through a server, so that part isn't WebRTC. https://github.com/josephg/ShareJS

I lifted the run loop concept. Damn good one. I don't really spend any time pushing my work for use by others. But I agree it ought to be copied by others. Run loops make a great partner in crime with requestAnimationFrame. https://github.

You can run `purge` in a terminal to free your 'inactive' ram. I've set up a cron job to purge frequently, keeps thing humming.

A good way to stop being a "nobody" is to get your names on your online properties. Twitter handles on your blog posts would be a good thing. It took way too much effort to track you guys down on angel.co, and even then I don't have twitter
