IMO this is probably one of the better coded HTML5 games out there I genuinely have no idea how I can improve the quality of the code in this. I won't jump to conclusions, but this attitude is kind of indicative of the Dunning-Kruger ef

Sounds like filing away some documentation when you do your taxes would be a simple solution to this annoying problem. But I'm not self employed, so what do I know.

You'd get a better reaction from people if you assumed you're at fault instead of blaming 4 independent browser makers as all being at fault. nookie here mentions memory use, so why don't you use the profiler in Chrome's web developer tools

When did you last try Octave? Professor Andrew Ng recommended using Octave (probably because it's free) for the online Stanford machine learning class ( http://ml-class.org/ ).

Cool, was about to put something together just like this, but don't have to now. Just submitted it here on HN.

Perhaps Swype would be a decent enough replacement? They advertise 40+ WPM: http://www.swype.com/about/key-features/

Awesome, would you have a link to your PhD thesis? Couldn't find it on your blog. Also wondering how you're using OMeta for your startup? Since you mention CoffeeScript, since I've found out about OMeta last week, I've started a little work

fogus mentions OMeta, which is amazing in my own humble opinion. You can, extremely concisely, create a parser for a language you dream up. The author of OMeta has an example of parsing JavaScript in 200 lines of OMeta. OMeta can also parse

I seem to remember spammers doing this in order to evade naive spam filters. For example, substitute "v1agra" for "viagra", and get through to the inbox. Though once you use a trick like that and it gets marked as spam a few times, you can'

What's the relevance of "impact factors"? I understand the basic idea behind them, but I don't think publishing research in a low impact factor journal should automatically make said research "completely irrelevant".

The Viewpoints Research Institute fits the bill: http://www.vpri.org/ They want to replace the entire software industry, since it's all a huge hack (especially the 100m+ SLOC codebases that are way too common). Goal: a full GUI system (fr

When I first started using Chrome, the awesomebar is probably what I missed most from Firefox. On Firefox, I type a partial keyword or two, and pages from history show up which are very relevant. Do the same on Chrome, and I usually have to

The issue is that if there does happen to be some type of bug which allows an exploit, simply pointing your webgl-enabled web browser at some page would let an attacker compromise your system. This wasn't really a problem before webgl, sinc

What's wrong with JS's object model? It's certainly more flexible than say Java's. If the problem is the flexibility, do you feel the same way about Ruby?

Just as an alternative point of view, I thought it was quite clear and concise, and made its point strongly. More so than a typical long-prose essay may have done. It would probably be more readable with the ALL CAPS, but then it would lose

I just did PyWeek (week-long python game competition), and this would have been great for seeing the effects of my code changes right away. I still had a workable solution: I wrote a script that watched for any .py files that have been save

Hey mods, please hellban this guy. I keep a short list of users I see who've been hellbanned, but have generally nice comments, because it always bothered me a bit, but sometimes it's warranted.

As a consumer of programming languages, I'd like the evolution of languages in the mainstream to be less incremental and more punctuated. While there is such a thing as punctuated equilibrium, I believe you'll find that evolution is large

Why can't you believe both? The analogy to muscles and strength training is appropriate here. The day after a workout with very heavy weights, it's hard to lift much at all. So you need to recover. The thing is that recovery is as important

If you can propose a spam-filtering algorithm which would not be circumvented if its exact implementation were known, I'd seriously love to hear it. That would basically be a magic bullet for all spam.
