I have a site with a bunch of stereoview images. I wonder if there's a way to automatically convert them.

I'd rather have speed and battery life than tethering. If "speed and battery life measures are subjective" is all you have to say, that sounds like intentional ignorance.

You're correct. It's an "infinite" plane, depending on what integer overflows first. It would be easy to make a torus or sphere version.

It was on App Engine, but now it's just a plain Django site. Updates are polled every second, which probably isn't how I'd make it now, but it's help up well.

That's actually the first place I announced it. Wasn't sure if it was solid yet, but the traffic came so I had to roll with it. It somehow hopped straight from HN to 4chan and out from there.

Maybe decidability was the wrong word to use. There are two separate questions: 1) Can model of computation X recognize language Y? 2) How fast can it do so? When someone says quantum computers are "equivalent" to Turing machines, that's re

An editor like this would be great for teaching programming. I've been thinking about something like this since Zed's new Python book came out. Having taught several complete beginners, the greatest friction in first learning to program doe
