Hey, thank you! Appreciate the feedback. We'd never even edited a video before we started walking, so we're definitely still figuring out what we're doing, creatively and even just in terms of using the tools. It's also

Thanks! It is pretty fun! It's pretty hard, too, though, particularly because we don't have a car - it's camping and public transport all the time. Something I was thinking about earlier today is that the longer I'm away

It depends on how you classify "successful" :) I quit my job in order to hike every trail in Ireland with my girlfriend and make videos about it: https://www.youtube.com/toughsoles . We're not making a profit

Further to point F: if you hold down control, you move by word segment - this is camel-case (and underscore) aware. So, if I am at the front of the word "cakeParty", I can move to between 'e' and 'P' by holding control and pressing the righ

Try installing Cygwin with the zsh and git packages. From there, you can install oh-my-zsh etc very easily. Cygwin is effectively a UNIX environment on your Windows machine, with support for many programs. A big draw is that it uses a UNIX

Delighted to see my article Do Things, Tell People in there, among some amazing company! Kind of self-fulfilling, that one. ;)

Pandora doesn't work outside the US because of copyright difficulties. However, grooveshark doesn't seem to worry too much about this, and as such it's available outside the US.

I almost don't see why this can't be realtime. I imagine from here, all you need to do is throw more computing power at it? It's very cool. Imagine this plus a head-mounted pico-projector - any scrap of paper or wall could become an interfa

I worked on a project[0] very similar to this just recently. It's definitely not as nice as this, but it's got the added advantage of being able to use javascript events to-spec, and the only lines in your game code are these: iPhone

I'm really glad that you thought it so good! :)

That's true, and it's exactly what I mean. I wrote this while thinking about some of my fellow students - many don't have their own website, for example, but they deserve to have their work seen. I named twitter because it's an extremely si

Well, I think putting that sort of thing out there is pretty admirable, too (as long as you know that it's not the best thing on the planet). Getting helpful and constructive criticism is one of the best things that can happen to programmer

That's true enough. I think some form of community account is necessary, though (even Hacker News or Reddit). I think github isn't the most discoverable type of social network - I don't really go looking for interesting bits of code on gith

Author here. This is why I think every programmer should have at least these two things: a twitter account, and a github account. A github account to publish what you do, and a twitter account to tell people. You can do this sort of thing f

I think you can shave off the "for beginners" from the title. It's really worth the read no matter your skill level. There are so many interesting and different ways to use JavaScript that I think almost everyone can gain something from thi

Recently, I've been thinking very hard about dropping out of college. Here in Ireland, the education system is somewhat different to the way it is in the US and many other parts of the world. You pick a course, and then for the next three o

When it comes to 60 nanoseconds, I'm not sure anything is negligible.

> And you can't pay Twitter's bills on the 0.1% of users who'll pay $5 a month. I wonder do their bills exceed $5 million a month. (I know, you pulled numbers from nowhere. I'm only making the point that they have an absolutely enormous

That's a very good point, my apologies. #links used badly are bad for usability.

There is a small "Ethics Statement" link at right, across from her name and next to the Email/RSS links. It's a little too long to post here, but certainly worth reading. In other news, #links are bad for usability. Who knew?

I've spoken to Michael Carter on occasion - they seem to really have their shit together. Looking forward to seeing where this goes. Congratulations guys!

My personal rule zero is to smile a lot. No matter who it is that you're speaking to, a smile make you instantly more likeable and trustworthy. It's tough to get used to (especially if you're the kind of person, like me, who frowns as their
