This looks really powerful, I will definitely be giving it a shot.

"While a "spiral" and a "helix" are distinct as technical terms, a helix is sometimes described as a spiral in non-technical usage." - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spiral They are different, but people who don't know the difference often

This is fantastic looking. Very well done. Minor nitpick; your spiral is a helix, not a spiral.

The slides are out of sync with the video for me, and the video stops periodically. Is this happening for anyone else?

My thoughts on the time limits... I have wanted a service like this a dozen or so times this year, and each time it has been when I'm stuck on a problem that I need to get sorted ASAP. If I have time, I'll figure it out myself (that's part

I love this idea. I'm going to bookmark it and give it a shot when I get stuck on something that I need done in a hurry. My thoughts: 1. The bootstrap theme is fine imo, unlike what others are saying. I'm assuming this is an MVP to see if y

I think such a service would be great. Last night in the middle of a very long coding session I got stuck on getting a particular SQL query working right for a couple of hours. I got a little help and some hints in #mysql on freenode, but I

I love this, really cool. I found it a little buggy too, in that it picked up non-swipe movements quite a lot, but an awesome demo nonetheless. Are you planning on continuing to develop this?

This isn't really a fair comparison. You can use unminified, commented javascript in development for testing without a build step, and just build for production. Even so, a build step can be a single keypress, so its no big deal.

Thanks! Where are you getting the feed of projects from by the way? I find Kickstarter terrible for discovering new projects, its seems a lot of stuff gets buried.

I love the QS movement, but I sometimes worry for it. It is young, and there is a wide variety of methodologies being used to draw conclusions, some are solid, others are far from it. This can be expected from a group of people that have no

Road speed limits are based on standards that take in to account the environmental circumstances of the road - straightness, visibility, etc - as well as having a huge amount of safety buffer built in to account for human reaction time. If

I think this question assumes a premise that many of the people that use PHP would not agree with. For that reason, the responses you get may be biased. I am a part time developer that uses PHP, and there are a number of reasons I haven't m

I've ordered one, even though I only do occasional casual gaming on my phone and don't even have a TV plugged in. I'm wondering how they are able to put all this stuff in a box, with a nice controller, for their price point. It seems like i

It makes a huge difference in my experience. I use a 30" most of the time with side-by side, but occasionally use one (sometimes two) of my side monitors (20" in portrait) if the need arises. It is rare for me to use more than just the 30",

It is worth noting that an alternative solution is to use the MySQL JSON UDFs which can be found at http://www.mysqludf.org/lib_mysqludf_json/ That way, you can simply invoke the function you require in the query, instead of processing it

For what its worth, for the people questioning the test, it is the current standard for measuring autistic-like traits (not for diagnosing any autism spectrum disorders). The test was constructed by one of the leading researchers in the fie

Great! Thanks for your data :D I'm glad you enjoyed it. You wouldn't imagine how many complaints we got from fellow students.

What I have found is that the higher intelligence/spatial ability type people are able to use these types of techniques on more difficult questions. I do very well on traditional spatial tests because they are trivial with relational or str

I may as well link you guys to http://cube.asher.io as well. It only works in chrome though! It is a web page that I banged up in a night that we used to create the items. No instructions on it though - try drag and drop :D

Yes, there are many moderators of difficulty. We had some requirements for the test which included graded difficulty from very easy to very hard to be able to separate out people of different abilities over a regular population. We were sup

I originally uploaded the incorrect items, of which one contained a flaw (I scored it as correct for everyone in that early group). In the easy questions you can indeed use those structural techniques, but in the harder ones you couldn't. I

All spatial tests are able to be solved with structural techniques rather than spatial ones. We have designed this test in response to that flaw so that when it comes to the harder items it is much more difficult to do so than to use the in

This is for a psych project. It is quite a bit harder than most spatial ability tests. Most spatial ability tests are easy to do with non-spatial methods. We have designed this item format to (hopefully) not be the case. Our results so far

For those of you that took the test earlier, go to http://psych.io/spatial/scores.php for your correct score. It will work as long as you have the same IP as beofre. Sorry again about the mix up to start. And thankyou so much to everyone

by asher_ 15y ago
Sorry guys, had an incorrect marking key for the test, fixed it now. My greatest apologies for those who didn't get a correct score back, ill put up your scores with the last half of your IP addresses very soon!

I'd love to see the tech mature over the next few years. E-ink would be great. In the mean time, check out Gunnar glasses. They are fantastic.
