Well, in theory you could render text as HTML (with @font-face for example), and then have individual canvas elements for the geometric shapes and images.

Thank you for a swift reply! Salaries are a bit lower than starting salary in Norway if 60-100k is the norm, but 1k a month for rent is cheaper than I thought! I don't know if Washington Heights is a dodgy place to live, but that is great n

I have a question, how are the salaries for web engineers with masters in NYC, and how much is the rent? (I understand that both these questions are hard to answer, but a rough guess?) I'm asking because I like the idea of working in NYC fo

TamDenholm mentioned porn kings, and I think they are a good example of the "darker sectors" driving innovation. The porn industry were some of the first to provide streaming of videos for example. While they may not be the inventors, porn

I'm just curious, where do you live? I live and attend university in Norway, and I must say, I don't think I know anyone that uses condoms on regular basis. Every girl I know uses an IUD or is on the pill, and most people I know get checked

Other than perhaps iMac, which of Apple's i-products doesn't have their i paired with an every day word?

It didn't really drop in battery life, it was just that Apple's testing protocol was revised to more accurately describe real-life usage.

His 18 year old son lived with him though, no? I know that when I was 18 I would keep a stash of porn readily available at all times, regardless of if my father was a religious extremist or not.

Well, for one, with iTerm2 I don't have to use visor, the app itself handles this. To be totally honest with you though, iTerm1/2 over Terminal.app hasn't really been that big of a change, I mostly like the improved key-settings and the the

Although it was a bit arrogant at times, I find myself at a similar place as he seemingly was before he switched right now. I'm doing all my development on MacVim and iTerm2, which is way more smooth for me than the TextMate / Terminal.app

I guess the hype is wearing off? It was bound to happen when it was evangelized like the second coming of christ by TechCrunch et al. I'm guessing that the vast majority of users is realizing that it's not much more than a new Q&A-site

There's nothing wrong with Django's MySQL-driver, and RoR might be the easiest thing in the world to deploy with Heroku. It seems to me you should read up a bit on both, try them both out, and rely a bit less on rumor and hearsay. In realit

I've always been taught that (-2)^2 = 4, while -2^2 = -4. This has stayed true all through college calculus, but I can't prove it.

Pull requests is an awesome way to fix errors and spelling mistakes, and the fork that is aiming to translate the book to brazilian portuguese is also very interesting. What I really hope to see catch on though, is the format that this book

One of my professors told me YouTube is hosting approximately 100TB of new videos every month, I think 200 TB is off by very, very much. If 200TB was the case I could afford to buy disks to store the entire web with my yearly salary...

Is it mainly meant as a way of getting feedback on ideas, or throwing ideas out there for others to implement/use?

Another obvious use case is at a party/a night at the club. I'd love to take a few pics and go home and see every picture taken there at the time. Since people generally have the decency to not put party-pictures on facebook anymore, it'd b

Great idea! A few things that bothered me though: 1. Once someone has replied to your message you can't delete the conversation. If you could perhaps implement a "request delete" or something, so that if everyone agrees you can delete a con

Very interesting, do you have any sources on this? If I forget to set my alarm I can easily sleep for 14-16 hours before I wake, any day of the week. If one possible solution to this is to go on a total sleeping binge for a week or so I'd b

Very interesting idea! Looks like you have a small graphical error right here: http://i.imgur.com/cfICi.png , too little spacing between "dots" and the text when there is a big headline. (I am using Chrome 11.0.672.2 dev on OSX)
