It still boggles my mind that Anthropic would invent the MCP protocol but not fully implement it. Especially when fully implementing it (prompts, resources, tools) is easily done in harnesses that don’t ship with MCP but allow good extensio

works well for me in chrome / os x. Used the 'a' key to cut / tear. Cool demo! I don't know much about this sort of stuff, could you talk about what's going on in the vertlet.js file a bit?

The print statements to debug was a constant in "Coders at Work" too. Also in that book I found interesting that everyone interviewed was asked what the most difficult thing they had to debug was, and almost all of them said something to d

Without meaning a personal dig it's clear that you're quite ignorant about drugs. Anyone who's ever done any knows they're the original augmented reality. There are few drugs that one would take to escape reality entirely; the vast majori

It works for me, pretty cool. Suggest you find some way to let one person be the photographer and the other the subject. Let the person with the webcam just sit there and the other person click when to take the picture and add effects. M

I also have a history (and now CS) degree. If you want to get into programming, do some programming. Don't worry about what language or what project, just grab something and do something. That said, I found http://www.processing.org/ to

No, I asked. I told them my experience was mainly with Linux and C++, and asked what sort of environment I would be working in for them, and they said most of the projects are on windows and use java. :(

Well the IBM position sounds like it would be kind of an easy transition, that I would not be thrown into anything too tough right away. NOt that there aren't challenges there, but I would be able to ease into it a bit. Bug fix here, docu

I'm pretty sure I'm gonna learn an awful lot no matter which one I choose. The people I've met so far at both places were very smart and nice. I'm fortunate that judging on those criteria neither job is far ahead.

"Even if the one you pick today ends up being terrible for you, it's simply not possible to choose a job so bad from which you can't recover. Not even "Swiss Patent Clerk"." Excellent point. I hadn't really looked at it like that. Just ge

I take it you mean more interesting work at IBM. That's what I was wondering. If I get to go to work and solve interesting problems every day I would be happy. I just know so little about it that I fear working at an Office Space type en

What I want is to work on free software. The smaller python job offers that. What I'm not sure about is if it would be foolish to turn down IBM. I'm hoping other HN readers have been faced with this choice, or similar, and could tell me

Well the flash thing is really cool, it's awesome to have the song to listen to and because the images are pulled from wherever sometimes they're hilarious :). Really nice piece of work!
