I deactivated my account. It's still around, of course, and I can log in again when I want. But I didn't want the distraction anymore. I found that checking the feed on my phone became an automatic habit for no observable benefit.

Thanks for this, I needed a laugh today.

I think that was a reference to MacVim, maybe?

Did not realize it used math to simulate paint hitting the canvas like that! I like the research that went into this. Pretty neat stuff.

Omigosh I remember this. This is ooolddd but so cool. I used to mess with the creatures by dragging around the joints and such and then get freaked out when their movements changed from being lovely and life-like to being grotesque and unne

This sounds sick... I did a bunch of research a while back about stars back when I wanted to make a friendly version of the SIMBAD database[1], but it would have been so cool to make a 3D version of our galaxy and fly around it. Probably no

Anyone else get a JavaScript error when they attempt to load the demo?

"Who thought you could have fun with the Germans?" Really, Kara? Anyway, obviously there were a couple of mistakes by the speech recognition, and they were taking care to speak very clearly, but still, I'm impressed. The futu

This makes sense. I don't write a lot, but when I do, I actually use Evernote on my phone or TextEdit on my computer. I find the smaller the space to write in, or the shittier the tool, the better. Basically limitations are actually a

Why are they doing this? It's too late. No one is going to want to make Bitcoin transactions through a US-based company now because you know the Fed is going to start creating all sorts of lawsuits unless people follow the rules. I hav

Wonder if they manually curate these lists or if they initially populated them with some sort of machine learning?

The problem with dependency injection in this manner is that your test code is using a fake class that's injected while your production code is using a real class. This is fine if all you want to do is unit test your classes. That&#x27

The problem I have with these tools is that the diagram it produces is really not that great. I guess it tells you what models you have, the columns they have, and whether a model is tied to another one... but not much else. Here's the

Is this the same guy who wrote head.js?

I'm not sure why this was posted but I will wager a guess it's the high ratio of women to men. So... good for them! You don't see this a lot and it's a bold statement. Rock on.

This is really, really cool. Never seen this before. Nicely done!

I don't get the "Beautiful Stories" section. All of the articles look pretty much the same. Same full-width image peekaboo parallax banner thingy at the top, same font, same look. This article ( https://medium.com&#

MIDI was never intended to be playable by people. It's just a protocol, you can do whatever you want with it. So saying that this is "impossible" doesn't make any sense. That said, this music sounds atrocious when you ru

I was going to say... this already exists...

This isn't very useful, unfortunately. There aren't any requirements for this. All it says is "come up with a design!" This is about as useful as saying "Write something about any subject!" Has there been any p

This (and actually bodily augmentation in general) seems like something that 3D printing is perfectly suited for. I see this sort of thing blowing up in the next 10 years.

Not true. Regexes have been around for a long time and there are a few standards -- POSIX basic, POSIX extended, and PCRE. Any language/tool worth its salt these days will follow one of these three implementations (usually it's PC

Wow this is so great. As a musician listening to a classical piece (well and an engineer too) I often think, "How does this work? I hear a clarinet here, is that what it is or something else?" So yeah, very cool.

Yes, you should master JavaScript -- it's used all over the web and people will continue using it that way. But I disagree it's making all other languages irrelevant and that it's a "game changer". Devices are not g

Thanks for the clarification. So weird. Was this just a random thing? Does anyone know?

Yeah, I'm bummed to hear this news too, I've been rooting for them since the beginning. Granted Google Maps is way better than Waze, but, I think the whole crowdsourcing angle that Waze takes is interesting, and I think it's

Isn't this the theme update they've been working on for over a year? I seem to have heard word about this a long time ago.

Right, at first I thought this was done by the creators of voxel.js. Perhaps this was an exercise for the OP and that is fine but it seems there is a fair bit of reinventing the wheel going on here.

Look, here's the reality. You say they could keep you on for another year and yet they obviously see you as an employee who will do whatever they tell you to do. While this is far too common, it obviously means they don't care about your op
