Amazing. I wonder if it's possible to read movements away from the screen? One big drawback of touch/motion is that it covers the screen, but what if we put the detection device lower? The feedback is tight as long as you can co

Funny you mention it as basic usability. The story on the home page with most points is about usability and they explicitly recommend using undos instead of confirmations: http://goodui.org/#8

If I understand your solution, what's keeping Person A from restoring from an earlier backup where the access was still valid? Or even sharing the backup with all the games available?

Whenever I download a new browser, the first thing I do is remove as much UI as possible. This saves space, removes clutter and generally makes it more robust. My Firefox currently looks like this: http://i.imgur.com/93yRvie.png?1 A brows

Aaron Diaz is amazing. The time travel/transhumanism comic Hob is greatly recommended ( http://dresdencodak.com/2007/02/08/pom/ ).

The PEP mentions these explicit values allow the creation of aliases in a very natural way. class Keys(Enum): space = 1 esc = 2 enter = 3 return = 3 # Alias to "enter". Also, less magic.

The puzzle is identical to 3D Logic: http://www.kongregate.com/games/AlexMatveev/3d-logic-2-stron... Are you sure this won't be a problem? Edit: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5332485 Yeah, its a clone of an old shockwave game

There's a great novel based on this very concept: Fine Structure ( http://everything2.com/title/Fine+Structure ). Definitely worth a read.

If the Heroku app is up to date, there are only 62 countries and 126 cities and all names are in German. I think this should have been mentioned in the Github page.

I think MetaFilter works because of the relative low number of users, and their selection, since it's a paid website (to comment, at least). I'm only a spectator there, but I've noticed the threads are much more personal. I think you can ev

Don't mention it? Citing better contrast makes the point clear enough.

If the previous one had no light and this one has, "brighter" is a strange way to describe it, isn't it?

I'm using a standard Brazilian keyboard. The colon was mapped to the US layout location, but I could not type {, even though I knew the location on a US layout. Maybe because that key is a dead key here. I would be very glad if there were a

I have a virtual machine with no X11 and wanted to use the Solarized color scheme in my CLI programs, so I replaced the default 16 colors this way: (.bashrc) if [ "$TERM" = "linux" ]; then echo -en "\e]P0002b36" echo -en

Funny, I've come to use the same system some time ago, but for general to-dos. I just use more readable filenames, with spaces instead of dashes and more complete sentences, and in the file content I put more detailed info and links do reso

Brazil has been using electronic voting machines since 1996. The ballots are used for both local and national elections, and the 2005 disarmament referendum. You don't get any receipt to check later (aside from the one that proves you voted

We have the same system in Brazil. People are watching soap opera at home, then all channels cut to a long string of short (<1 min) presentations for all candidates. Most of them are trashy. The main problem is that people just turn the
