Whoa, that's a surprise – I wrote this back in late 2006 and it has been unmaintained since then. A lot has happened in the <canvas> world in the past four and a half years (font drawing API, get/setImageData, lots of implementation

Hackerspaces are something very different from incubators, so that's not a fair comparison. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hackerspace

He also makes wonderful music as http://boyinstatic.com and http://theconsulategeneral.com . He made a neat (mildly) interactive Flash site for one of his songs years ago: http://www.bellyfull.tv – I loved the concept of doing this ins

It's not like you don't have control over your participation in this silly ritual... I think automating a meaningless post would be the wrong way to go. I try to write thoughtful, detailed birthday messages for people who really mean someth

Traveling hackers should check in at one of these: http://hackerspaces.org/wiki/List_of_Hacker_Spaces Instant community of like(ish)minded people, pretty much everywhere.

Yes! I'm involved with a hacker space in Vienna, Austria (we're proud that Noisebridge cites us as inspiration) and I've long believed that on the floor above every hackerspace there should be a hostel. A "hackers in residence" program, if

"You can convert losslessly" – that's not the whole truth. It's an issue that there's no obvious or agreed upon way to render an XML format like ATOM into JSON, because everyone makes up their own transformation rules. Here are two distinct

Probably many would find something else, and that's a problem - but surely it can't be used as justification for not changing the policies. Legalization should happen gradually and with some kind of amnesty outreach program. But even if no

By listening for Capslock presses, it has an unusual interface that people weren't consciously aware any USB device could have – that's what makes them think about security implications.

Justin.tv lets users trim and title recordings (they call it "highlighting"). I did that for my favorite talks, here are direct links with no skipping required: Paul Graham: Recent trends in startup fundraising http://www.justin.tv/c3oorg/

Yes, these sites seem to offer a vastly better deal to customers than traditional contracts. But there's a catch: As a consequence, the deal they offer to designers is necessarily so much worse that the only ones participating are those who

I agree that you need to make sure there are people in your life who know clearly (ie, you tell them honestly and openly) what you're going through, who can stand by your side as you go through several attempts at coping with this. I can as

In GA there's a setting to allow sharing of my data with other Google products. If I check this, do they still not use that as a source for Trends?

A friend of mine committed suicide last December, at your age and from what I can tell, in a similar situation (he was even also a previous YC participant). It hurts how much reading this reminds me of him. You mention some people know this

By that logic you'd need to believe in every single religion at once to hedge your bet, since most only promise the afterlife to adherents of their specific belief system. That aside, how can you say it'd "cost nothing"? It would cost me my

By "HTML design" do you mean the graphic design? In my eyes the site has an edgy, artsy, designer-y feel to it, are you put off by that? I found it more fun and exciting than YCombinator's or Seedcamp's sites or those of any VC I've ever se

That's because they have a contract with Channel4 to stream it in the UK: http://www.channel4.com/programmes/the-daily-show-with-jon-s... Not sure if the episode mentioned is already on there, since I in turn can't view the videos there..
