To all the people saying apologies are worthless, you probably feel that way because you get too many worthless apologies. Personally, I don't count it as an apology unless they acknowledge how they've hurt you, expressed remorse,

My version was originally going to be called Swine Meeper! However, after googling it I found this version here: http://www.karaffeltut.com/MineSweeper/minesweeper1.html I'm guessing that's not yours, as it d

This is pretty cool, I like the overall concept and spare design of the website. I do have a few notes about the user experience. I'd suggest making the current city more obvious. I spent my first minute looking around trying to figure

Minesweeper got me into development, my first real project was building a minesweeper clone for Android using web technologies. It only sold 3 copies, but it got me a new job making more than twice as much as I made doing graphic design. My

Great, a browser that permanently takes up about 20% of the screen with fixed controls on the top and bottom. And I guess if you go to a website that also uses that design pattern you'll have about half of the screen left for content.

They've probably done testing and found that for some significant percentage of married couples, seeing their spouse's posts caused them to reduce their Facebook usage. So unhappy marriages are ruining it for everyone. I feel like

Your site is fairly broken on mobile for me. I'm on a Galaxy S6 running Chrome, and in landscape mode there are a lot of overlapping and partially hidden elements. The most obvious being the top text, "Stylepills is a social repos

This is similar, but I meant figuring out how you're going to solve a problem using code, not figuring out how you're going to fix your code. One example I can remember is my dad coming out and holding up a pen, and asking me how

I wonder if this could be applied to normal video and get results useful for any purposes. I realize it would be lower quality, but I feel like it might be possible to detect nearby gunshots on security camera footage that doesn't have

They frame it as a learning technique, but it's also a great problem-solving technique. When I was a kid I made money by helping my dad with his programming. When he got stuck on problems he'd come out and find me, and offer me $2

At my last job they were constantly asking me to create symbols to represent abstract concepts. They wanted them to be instantly, universally recognizable at 24 pixels by 24 pixels with no text. This is sometimes easy, often impossible. I e

I was expecting this to be another phone holder, much more interesting that you hacked together some hardware. Does this feature a low persistence display? Also, you mention "cheap tracking for next big update", is this just going

Looks pretty good, there were a few design things that bugged me. 1) Setting your text to evenly space the words across each line makes for a terrible reading experience. Reading on mobile the amount of space between some words was painful.

That seems very exploitable, an enemy could theoretically intercept all your communications, just to prevent you from communicating.

Quantum entanglement is such a neat phenomenon, but secure communication feels like such a boring application. How much extra security would a quantumly protected communication channel provide over just using some really heavy encryption se

On the legal front I'm less concerned about punishment than I am about convenience. I don't really care to get into growing mushrooms just to have one dose every year or two, just wish I could easily purchase them ready to go. I a

I can vouch for the antidepressant properties of psilocybin, as well as it's nearly miraculous efficacy at stopping cluster headaches. If any of you are unaware of cluster headaches, they are also called suicide headaches, because the

I used a song, with permission from the artist, on a demo reel and got a copyright claim on YouTube. I was surprised to find that the claim was on behalf of a French band who covered the song and added lyrics to it. I tried to dispute the c

Yeah, the less you want it the more they want you. During my last job hunt I got an offer, and while I was considering it another company contacted me. I told them I was deciding on another offer, and I wasn't interested unless they co

I had a busy year. I converted a major auction site to fully responsive as the sole front-end developer and interface designer, learned Java and started doing full stack development at work, and then quit my job when they moved the offices

It wouldn't really replicate my multiple notebooks scattered precisely across my table, unless I had like 5 ipads. Also, not really a fan of Apple's mobile ux, so it's not the solution for me. I have managed to get rid of som

It's kinda funny, I worked for years as an artist and never used paper and then I became a programmer and I'm drowning in paper. I use post-it notes, notebooks, and loose sheets of paper to track progress, work through concepts, s

It's interesting to now have this, flexbox, and the multi-column module (that I never see anyone talking about). Does anyone know if this can be used for dynamically wrapping columns? Ostensibly flexbox should be able to handle that, b
