My first program was on the C64 when I was very young. Had it not been available to my parents and me at that time, I'm not sure I would have the same passion for technology and programming I have today. Thanks Jack, for helping bring it to

Tried RSS feeds but it sucks. There needs to be an RSS feed that only shows items that make it at least to the front page. Or maybe beyond some configurable vote threshold.

I ignore posts like this for exactly that reason. Its sad they get as many votes as they do.

That's incredible. I've wanted something like that for a while now. Thanks for pointing it out. Are you aware of a vim oriented one anywhere? (I switch back and forth on which I prefer given the time of year / language of the hour)

BP was mining for some toxic gas on the surface of the planet when something went horribly wrong. Now they're pumping out 5000 Bcfe's of it per day into the southern hemisphere and its destroyed the red stripe we'd become so accustomed to.

Is there a market? Yes (edit: otherwise articles that we've seen recently regarding their changes wouldn't cause an uproar) Will it completely disrupt Facebook? Not likely. At least not soon. I've been wondering whether it might be possible

Exactly. And flash was introduced 14 years ago. It really has no excuse for not having better performance at this point. I'm glad its dying.

It's not a huge problem. I enjoyed your post and can relate. Thanks for sharing it.

I just found it to be an unnecessary distraction. It's not that it bothers me. It just makes it more difficult than necessary for me to read. I make an assumption that by posting something on the internet, the person wants me to read it and

I may be missing something, but why wouldn't they just use the real thing?

Maybe your key difference could be ship people instead of stuff. Kind of like an AirBNB but replacing Taxi's and busses instead of replacing hotels.

How is it so different? Microsoft at least did not control the hardware. Apple has always been worse than Microsoft in that respect - they even wanted to control the printer at one point! The only difference now is that for some reason its

Thats one of the more innovative Tetris oriented games I've seen in a few years. I was surprised how smooth it works in the browser, even though I've seen a few of the other cool things folks are doing with HTML5 these days. Good stuff.

Apple's terms were never agreeable to me, so I never started developing for it in the first place. I figured something like this was inevitable, so it changes nothing for me.

The only thing scarier than the censorship and reasons for it (i.e. human rights issues, corruption, etc...), is how powerful China would be if they ever straightened up.

Fast prototyping lost its edge early on in the competition. Once people figured out the winning formula is something like Flood Fill + Minimax + Voronoi it all came down to tweaks and optimizations to search deeper, and making sure your eva
