The design of this whole thing caught my eye, it's refreshingly unpolished and utilitarian but with a great deal of finesse and an appropriate amount of humour. It feels like a very honest, nativ…

I don't really care if people use tabs or spaces as long as the codebase is consistent, but aligning things in the middle of a line is my pet peeve. It's fiddly to maintain, it ruins source …

I found this mildly interesting: the "screenshots" in this article are made out of HTML elements.

Fwiw, since we're comparing Sketch with Adobe products, I frequently have very similar undo issues in Photoshop. Parts of the canvas get "stuck" and won't undo. I have not found a …

It isn't really a technical problem, so I don't think it makes sense to look for a technical solution. But it's not complicated; like kerning and optical adjustment of letter shapes, so…

This would probably be more useful if they were optically the same size. Looks like it's currently basically a monospaced font. E.g. The New York Times is illegible next to CNN.

How do you determine what commercial value something has? Apparently not by whether it costs money or not. The map is offered for free, without ads. Postcards are usually for pay.

Here are the links without going through Google's URL shortener: http://www.georgehart.com/sculpture/sculpture.html http://bibliodyssey.blogspot.com/2009…

I think you mixed some nice ideas with a very weird idea for no good reason. I kept looking for why you want to do this through JSX, but I just didn't find anything convincing. I like the idea of…

They say they use an "inaudible high frequency soundwave", so that should be > 20kHz. Shouldn't a buffer of a few milliseconds be more than enough then?

That trailer was surprisingly well made.

The apparent size of an object changing with distance is not just some random thing that you can change... it's a consequence of geometry. The eye or camera is a point, but the projection plane i…

Blame the victim, right? The article doesn't say she has not told him never to contact her again, so I don't know why you assume that. And regardless, she's not bad at communcation. I…

I'm not sure why you think I'd want that. I do however feel like it's a temporary and half-hearted quick fix. If it were possible to add custom fields to the issue tracker, they could b…

So, the issue template is just a default text that individual users can modify, delete, or otherwise disregard?

Very clever! Is there any reason why you couldn't just carve out tunnels shaped like the numbers, using a stencil typeface?

Thanks for posting this link! I've been playing and thoroughly enjoying The Witness these past couple of weeks; it seems like this series might be relevant to follow up with, to bring some perspe…

I would love to see a version where you could draw Bézier curves!

Karl Stiefvater is a graphics programmer who's been involved in, among other things, Riven (Myst's sequel) and The Matrix. He's been playing with the neural algorithm of artistic style …

Anyone who wants to avoid spoilers: you should avoid this thread too, including replies to sp332's comment.

This is hyperbole. There is no attempt at censorship here. No one has disallowed anyone to view anything. If you think a critical comment qualifies as an attempt at censorship, then by the same logic,…

There are some subtle bugs in this code. For example `new App.View.Hobbies(model.hobbyList)` is not going to do what you're expecting when the `Hobbies` function is explicitly returning an object…

Even with js turned on, I get a mostly blank page. It chokes on String.prototype.endsWith, which is an ES6 feature not supported by my very-slightly-out-of-date version of Safari. If you want to rende…

A bit off topic, but JP LeBreton, who is mentioned in the article, is also making a very interesting looking ASCII game. I can recommend his video devlog where he shows some of the tools he's mad…

I don't think the mat is rendered. In the video with changing light conditions, you can see how the picture lags slightly, while the mat reacts immediately.

Haven't tried Atom for about one and half years; at that time it was a performance trainwreck. Is it better?

Looks interesting, but doesn't seem to support my Swedish keyboard layout very well. Typing '+' inserts '=' instead. Pasting a '+' in works fine though.

Vi Hart has an excellent video about music written with all twelve tones of the octave. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4niz8TfY794 …
