I heard about it before nintendo power existed.

Of course, back then, in the 1980's, there was no publically available internet. Knowledge of minus world was spread purely through word of mouth. We used our meat based networking protocols. What barbaric times those were.

What was the date on them? The thing to keep in mind with stuff like that is usually it is not a straightforward case of they have trolled you and the museum as you may naively think. If something is a blank red sheet of paper in a frame, p

perhaps, but none of that really contradicts what I said. Just that there's little use for any kind of objective classification system for "art" and "not art" to a curator. Just a fuzzy wuzzy wibbly wobbly sense of

having worked with some curators at similarly large (though not necessarily quite as well known) galleries, I'm pretty sure they use the >"does someone call it art? Then it's art" definition and have a poor opinion of

I was thinking even broader, including mechanics for games like chess and checkers, and maybe a smattering of graph theory for analysing "decision trees". Pretty abstract game theoretical stuff, hopefully brought down to earth and

I think it's that, regardless of the "strength" of your jump, the curve is always fast at first, then slowing against gravity following a natural quadratic-ish curve. So strong jumps, and weak jumps both always look like the

I tried my hand at a side scrolling platformer in phaser myself some time back. When I came up to variable jump height I tried a solution very similar to the one presented here, but I just could not get my jumps to feel at all "right&q

a multipart http response saves what kind of file?

by TheZenPsycho 12y ago
Except that the primary utility of zip is usually not its compression. It's the combining of multiple files into one "file". Basically what tar was invented for, but with actual universal support on every OS.

Once again, a hacker news commenter's idea of what in browser javascript performance is like is ridiculously 15 years out of date. It's 2014 now. Your iphone is 10 times faster than your 1998 pentium 2. Even with the JS vm penalty

Cute but I thought we collectively outgrew animated hover effects in 2007. Oh well I guess we'll never really grow up.

Because viewpoints are not opaque little packages whose contents do not matter. Nor are they isolated from historical context.

Or make better designs that don't assume the scaffolding will be hidden.

I thought a gui is what we wanted?

that's in there, with the assumption that you're using the promises based node.js api, but if you aren't, and you're using Q, that part looks like this var readFile = Q.denodeify(FS.readFile); which doesn't

It's post modernism. One of the principle elements of post modernism is that the structure becomes the decoration. The internal becomes external. The scaffold becomes external. The walls are stripped back and the plumbing is visible, a

No one ever "needs" to add DRM. That is just an arbitrary business strategy among many possible strategies which may or may not actually work.

I find hypothetical scenarios quite challenging. I suppose it's possible the people within mozilla may pull another "mozilla" and spawn a new company made out of many of the same people to maintain its codebase. I think it&#x

it's not bolt on. "class" means something subtly other than what you think it does, in this context, following in the long loved javascript tradition of looking eerily like java's syntax while behaving in weird utterly

that's been possible for years. Pull your understanding of what javascript is out of 2005.

what language do you think it's like?

I assume this message is aimed at me. I'm not worried about ES6. ES6 classes are just syntactic sugar over prototypes, so it'll still confuse the FUCK out of java, c#, c++ and flash developers, because they are still SEMANTICALLY

And all it took to fork mariaDB was the support of several large corporations.

by TheZenPsycho 13y ago
Yes that's the fantasy. The reality is you can't just casually fork a project as big as mozilla. The only way that codebase stays even barely maintained with security bug fixes, is with its army of coders. The great thing about FL

You're probably right and it's totally irrelevant in this day and age with cheap memory and cpu power. I can't help but remember fondly on the idea of the bytecodeVM that "Out of this World" used to draw vector grap
