We did one demo that was more or less floating above static terrain, and another with Half-Life 2. My own nausea didn't actually start up until HL2. We were playing on a laptop (probably not enough horsepower), using slightly unfamilia

I got a chance to play with an Oculus dev kit for 15-20 minutes over the holidays, and almost everyone who tried it walked away with some pretty gnarly nausea (experienced gamers and newcomers alike). I'm excited to see so many of the

Suppose a "hidden truth" turned out not to have been intended by the author — would that make it less true? One of the beautiful things about art (and life) is that it literally is what we make of it (or what we can make from it

Completely respect where you're coming from, but totally disagree. I made a few abortive switches to Vim that didn't last a week because my productivity was too hampered and the environment too extreme & foreign. To a newcomer

I commented on this elsewhere, but this didn't break my zoom at all — although I did have to bump it up to around 200% to start seeing increases. You could argue this is inconvenient, but not quite broken .

I had to bump the demo site up to about 200% to start to see increases, but was definitely able to increase the text size.

The most interesting part of the article (which is well-written and thought-provoking) isn't the mildly alarmist "regressive web" assertion, but the insight that Reader may have been killed because it was strategically opposed to Google's m

If I've understood correctly, the most compelling argument (or at least the most seemingly objective one) is that CoffeeScript conflicts with planned features of ES6+, meaning that there is a risk that large CoffeeScript projects will be lo

It's easy to forget just how developed our pattern-matching abilities are as seasoned programmers. The inability to recognize, find and fix transcription errors is the single biggest challenge I see new folks struggle with. (A close second

For what it's worth, I recorded at The Record Co. last May and had a wonderful experience. Great sounding room, good vibe.

I'm sorry, but "why?", by itself, is never a serious question. Except in cases of extreme naivety, it's a challenge, or worse, a roadblock, posed to force a reexamination of the underlying assumption. In this case, the underlying assumption

Thanks! There's a barebones colophon in the HTML source, and I've published the source code [1], but I do intend to write up sometime soon. [1]: https://github.com/thirteen23/2013-holiday-poster

Another fun but related aside: I used d3 to help generate layouts of tightly packed circles, which are then used as the animated background in my agency's 2013 holiday poster. Generator: http://2013.poster.thirteen23.com/generator/ Poster

I think a big part of this boils down to communication style, and how comfortable people are communicating via the written word. I've worked places where remote working was discouraged, and the reason given was along the usual lines of "wel

And then what? Best case scenario is: those client apps get in touch with Twitter and negotiate a per-user rate to be paid to Twitter. This could be a great way for Twitter to allow third-party clients, but get a cut of the revenues from th

I'm not so sure about that – since he was hired, most screens and nearly all the Instagram UI icons have been refreshed. He's literally all over the app's UI right now.

It's possible "redeem" was the culprit word here. You want your call-to-action verb to match the verb in the user's mind when they visit the site, or they may not recognize it as the action they wanted and skip over it. I'd guess that peopl

The root problem is that we still don't know how to disagree when two sides look at the same set of data and believe two different things. We allow ourselves to descend into tribalism and assume the worst of each other. If you look at the l

You're right, unless you C-s or C-v it into a split (which I do pretty often). When I was first migrating from TextMate, the default behavior seemed like a bug. Why would you routinely want to open a buffer in two different windows? Why wou

Ctrl-P does something that I wanted Command-T to do for a long, long time: if you invoke it and select a file that is already open in an existing window somewhere, rather than open a new window for that file, it will switch to the already-o

I think he's saying that the open web needs to be designed from the viewpoint that JavaScript is the lowest level of abstraction (not C++), and that HTML is the highest level of abstraction. In other words, design the entire platform from t
