Sounds great. Any chance you guys will be getting involved in HTML5 game support?

Ah, very good. Yes the term XDR-TB makes more sense in the absence of knowing if every potential antimicrobial therapy has been exhausted. Always found it interesting that the last line therapy is lobectomy or pneumonectomy. TB is a terribl

I think that what is termed "totally drug resistant TB" is more a matter of semantics as the article points out. I was in medical training in Southern California about 8 years ago and spent some time with a large county tuberculosis surveil

I have to say that I like the perspective. I think that a good programmer should be able to use virtually any good language to create anything. In particular, it seems worthwhile, if for example one is well versed in say Ruby, to learn C to

This is a great article. Just started learning C a couple of weeks ago. The peculiarities pointed out in the article make much more sense now. It's great to read about original hackers long before there was HN.

I've thought of using Lua and if I recall correctly, work has been done to develop iPhone games with Lua as well? Ah, where is the time?

Nice write up. I wrote my own 2d game engine in C++ a while back. Switching to Ruby was great, but I never made any games. I did make a couple of JavaScript HTML 5 games. But here again speed is a limitation, and so am looking into C (and e

I've created a couple of games with ImpactJS and have really enjoyed it. I think it's great for tile-based platformer games in particular. But (with enough programming skill), you can bend it to make virtually any type of 2D game. The code

By the way, (warning a shameless plug): I created an HTML5 game loosely based on my best memory of the Sabotage game. The graphics are only marginally better and I couldn't really capture the game play, but it can be tried here(works best o

Brilliant! As soon as I read the name "Sabotage" I knew it was correct. Thanks for the clip. I had just a monochrome green monitor and didn't realize it also had such striking color.

Nice. Anyone remember a game where essentially little paratroopers fall down from the sky and you have a cannon rotating on a turret to shoot them down? When you hit the little paratroopers they blew into little green pieces all over the sc

I placed a large 4'x3' map of the U.S. in my kids room. They're too young yet to have a concept of a map (computer or otherwise), but I want them to be able to say look at Calfornia, where we live, and take the time to look at each and ever

As an undergrad student, I helped conduct a paste-diet study for NASA. The ideas was that rats who would be aboard the space shuttle would eat a combined meal of rat food mixed with water, thereby solving the problem of little bits of food

I'm a medical doctor and I'll never forget what one of our respected (and elderly) liver specialists said when asked what he would do regarding a patient with a liver cancer with a particularly poor prognosis. During a roundtable discussion

Fantastic replies. Thanks all. Very excited to see what's out there.

I'm curious as to how much of the planet (I know, I know it's been demoted) the craft will be able to "see". That is given the distance from the sun will it be draped in darkness, barely visible? I had a comic as a kid that had these really

This is great. I'm a practicing medical doctor and a coder. My friend and I are going to give the healthcare one a go. If anything it's good fun and we'll learn more about the real world application of data mining to medicine. Thanks for th

Looking forward to the Switch company's LED bulbs. http://switchlightbulbs.com/ This was mentioned on HN a few weeks ago.

I concur. Fantastic post! I encourage everyone to read the pdf of the published work which is linked on the page.

Thanks for the explanation. I like the circles bit. One of the reasons I dropped using Facebook was having to see updates regarding 95% of things I could care less about or simply didn't have time to look at. On the other hand, Google havin

My point was more to show that it can be done if people just want to play around with node.js on windows until it becomes a more first class tool. Not a plug particularly for Cygwin, though it sure beats MS-DOS.

I got node.js to work on Windows XP via Cygwin about 4 or 5 months ago. Here are some useful links: - Building node.js on Cygwin (be sure to RTFM regarding which version to build). https://github.com/ry/node/wiki/Building-node.js-on-Cygwi

Never has it been more clear that blocking free expression is the primary tool of tyrants to prevent change and reform within their society.

It is perhaps difficult to judge the material from a quick glance at the website. He has written many excellent books such as "The Creator and The Cosomos" which I would refer you to for a more in depth discussion.

I have been following astrophysicist Hugh Ross for some time. For a very intelligent exploration of creationist ideas (that very decidedly do not accept that the earth is only 10,000 years old) check out Reasons To Believe: http://www.reas

I have to say I have been using OpenOffice/LibreOffice for the past 4 months on my office Windows XP machine for the last 3 months and have not needed Microsoft Office at all. It's nice to know that their good work is continuing.
