Just yesterday I came across a similar tool by Loren Schmidt, where you can generate CAs by choosing one to evolve a new generation from. http://vacuumflowers.com/cellular_automata…

But that's exactly what I wrote. It's not readable. It's hard to understand what these screenshots show because they appear to merge. I hoped the two links would make my point – you j…

I don't know, 260 characters per line isn't exactly the pinnacle of readable typography, and those screenshots become extremely confusing side by side against a white background – you can&#x…

I'm fascinated by how it looks almost confusingly similar to Mail.app. Of course a lot of apps use a three-pane layout, but most seem to deviate from the standard UI one way or another. I don…

Thanks. This makes me even more curious what were the values represented by the photos in the carousel, prompting mjolk to call them out as virtue signalling.

What is this term "virtue-signal" supposed to mean? I see it thrown around all the time. It's such a vague and weird way to criticize something, but it seems to represent something that…

Virtual DOMs are used to make the rerender-everything-all-the-time approach acceptably fast, which is desirable since that approach tends to lead to nice UI code with few state related bugs. Still, th…

I was just about to post something about how The Witness would fit right into this article!

Your reply reads like I blamed the moderators, which I didn't. I just think it doesn't look good when critical stories disappear from a forum.

So it was flagged and marked dead without explanation. That does not look good.

Thanks for the answers! I think it looks like interesting tech and it could be fun to play around with it, despite the limitations. But I really think you should reconsider the messaging around the pr…

Despite them doing their best to cover it up with quick editing and cherry picked angles, it's clear this has very low depth resolution and foggy picture quality. If this only uses light, how wou…

Maybe it's not as bad as I first thought. The capitalized K breaks the word up - it was only the URL that jumped out at me.

This might not be the feedback you were hoping for, but the new name is similar to a very juvenile word in Swedish (and possibly/probably in Norwegian and other Scandinavian languages). I guess i…

Font size is already inherited. `font-size: calc(1em + 10px);` should do basically that.

Tufte dismisses these types of patterns as "chartjunk" and "unintentional optical art"[0]. I'm not sure I agree completely - I think patterns can be used as an effective addit…

You're probably right. I guess in a sense it's almost the opposite of a garden path sentence since the ambiguous part comes at the end.

The link text is something of a garden path sentence... At first I thought it was a handwritten parser for math expressions, not a parser for handwritten math expressions!

Am I missing something, or is it just some links to random GitHub projects? I can't even figure out what these repos have in common or why I should look at them.

If you're interested in this topic, Andrew Russell recently wrote a blog post and made a video about how they sort sprites in River City Ransom Underground. It's even more complicated becaus…

These are not rectangles though. The projection has severly stretched many of the countries. Combined with the tilted angles, that should mean the corners of these "rectangles" aren't r…

There's an event module built into snabbdom, so you can add a handler for `input` events, change whatever state you want, then create a new vnode and patch the dom. The architecture is very much …

The outline of Null island is taken from Myst. Even the ship is there, but it has become a peninsula (a stoneship, perhaps). https://www.google.com/images?q=Myst+island+map …

The writer starts out complaining that the distinction between "chord" and "scale" is arbitrary. He then proceeds to derive the major chord and major scale using a bunch of arbitra…

PuzzleScript[1] sounds like it might work for what you want to do, at least for quick prototypes. It's a brilliant little online IDE for a puzzle game DSL. It might seem like a toy, but there…

There seems to be a lot happening in this area lately. There's a new soy based meat substitute called Oumph, which I believe is only available here in Sweden so far. The texture and taste is fant…

Pretty neat that the styling is included in the 2.2k, but it would be more practical if it would apply classes to allow me to style it myself. Glowing text is pretty opinionated.

My Norwegian isn't great, does the scrolling text at the bottom of the video say that iTunes asks you to read the TOS together with your children? That seems crazy.

Looks like a great utility, but the output css isn't very compact. For example, ul li:nth-child(1) { background: red } ul li:nth-child(2) { background: red } ul li:nth-child…

Mostly works in Sublime, which I've been using with Input Sans for a bit over a year. The only thing that breaks is indentation guides, which end up in the wrong place. I would not want to go bac…
