Comcast doesn't serve Madison, WI in case anyone needs a city for this.

I'm creating a MUD (text based multiplayer RPG) with Elixir using websockets instead of telnet. After reading the prior blog post I stripped out my account / character creation and converted to random URLs. Game data like this sta

Oddly enough I had no problems with Descent / Descent II, but Doom and Doom II wrecked me. I think it may have been because Doom's camera bobbed as you moved to simulate taking steps but Descent's camera was smooth when you m

I'd personally find this more useful if I could start with what I'm paying for rent and get a result of "If you can buy a similar home for less than $xxx,xxx then buying is better."

I lived in Minnesota until age 30 and your assertion about water temperature is flat out wrong. Summers in Minnesota are much hotter than in say, San Francisco, and the water in the lakes is very comfortable for swimming.

Conversely I could play Descent all day long and feel fine, but Doom would make me feel motion sick after a few hours.

FWIW Tesla doesn't use model years. Technically the model year is encoded in the VIN but it flips over at the start of the calendar year and isn't associated with any particular changes to the vehicle. Tesla has been adding featur

The Gen3 vehicle is supposed to be ~30-40k.

They could really use a Sonos integration as well.

I believe music information can also be displayed on the screen right behind the wheel (where the speedometer etc is) and controlled by physical buttons on the steering wheel rather than the touch screen. Ditto for several other common oper

It's worth noting that despite the price increase compared to what Tesla charges in the United States they will, according to Tesla, actually be charging significantly less than other car manufacturers are charging for comparable vehic

I'd be on T-Mobile in a heartbeat if they had, like, any coverage.

This post really needed to follow up on the whole "Ruby is dying" part with some sort of "and here's how Rubinius X can help" part. The way it's written has caused everyone here to debate whether or not Ruby is

That's awesome news, thanks! I've been considering getting a Tesla in 2015 when I've paid off my Volt, but I live in Wisconsin so the rear wheel drive was a deal breaker on the Model S. I like the Model S more than the Model

Apologies if I'm missing something obvious, but is there anything new here regarding the Model X (e.g. pricing) or is this just an FYI for people who may not have been aware that it was a thing? At a glance I'm not seeing anything

I don't own a Leaf, but I do own a Volt. Assuming rate of charging is comparable I'd say you'd be taking a risk if you only have a wall plug at your destination. I'd be a lot more comfortable if you had access to a 240v

The gameplay is very similar. League of Legends is heavily based on the original Dota but with different characters and slightly different mechanics where Dota 2 is a port of Dota 1 from a Warcraft III map to a standalone game. I personally

Something like varnish or haproxy. In my setup I had varnish proxying "/websocket" directly to my app server, and everything else to nginx.

Right on! I'm using nginx and thin, but I'm currently having to use varnish for proxying my websocket connections to thin because nginx can't do it. Then I have to use stunnel for ssl termination because varnish doesn't support it. I'll be

That sounds cool too, have a demo up anywhere? I'm kinda doing a deploy as I code thing, I've added the url to my profile.

As far as using websockets with Rails goes, I just wanted to mention that I've been having a really good experience using the websocket-rails gem ( https://github.com/DanKnox/websocket-rails ) in a text game (MUD) I'm working on as a Rails

Is there a way to avoid creating .DS_Store files on specific local volumes? I used to have my Dropbox folder on my secondary (NTFS formatted) harddrive so I could use a symlink to share my Dropbox folder across OSX and my Windows 7 Bootcamp

A longstanding quirk of the Android browser is that it can't handle elements that use overflow: auto to create a separate scrollable area. iOS devices handle this by two finger scrolling within these elements. There is a two year old bug re

In their dating persona test ( http://www.okcupid.com/the-dating-persona-test ) there is the line "If you have any STDs please go HERE." wherein HERE was a link to match.com. It now goes to mingle2.com.

I'm one of the three, so this is good news for me. Honestly if the port is good then it's good news for Mac users in general, the Zune software is, in my opinion, a better music player than iTunes, independent of whether or not one owns a Z

I can recommend System76 if you go the Ubuntu route. My desktop at home is a System76 Leopard Extreme that I dual boot Ubuntu / Windows, and prior to getting my MBP I was using a Pangolin Performance laptop. Since getting a MBP I can say th
