That's kinda cool. I'm curious: what was the other time waster? :P

I wonder if you've shed a little light on some dishonesty here. What if Wes, the intern, wrote Solitaire for Win2.1, then it got redone for Win3.1 et al. by someone else? That makes all of this somewhat morally underhanded. I thought I

Oh, TIL. I had no idea the WinNT source leak was nearly complete. I vaguely recall hearing something about getting the Win2K kernel to build, but I don't remember exactly what I read (I think it was on BetaArchive). Then there's t

I'm guessing this app looks cool; you might like to know that older systems remix it into glitch art like this: http://imgur.com/a/o3YVy I thought I'd give it a whirl on the old ThinkPad T43 I'm using

This is a really really cool idea. Two things: 1. I don't use Facebook. I want to, but I can't interact!! :( 2. I'm not sure if's still the case but I heard Japan has a culture around stories spread very similarly to thi

I see what you did there; very cute. :D Also, kudos for sharing it via mysterious IP address. That kinda thing just isn't done that much any more :(

Do you have a landing page or signup thing yet?

It's the journey that counts sometimes. I'm yet to get to the assembly point myself. /r/retrogaming would probably like it :P

While basic, the tangibility and interactivity this provides would promote flexbox to a lot of people who would otherwise shy away from it. Definitely a concept worth throwing at /r/css, /r/webdesign, places like that...

This sounds very very interesting. Some suggested ideas for next steps, in ascending order of responsibility and burden: - Release screenshots for educational/inspirational/as-is purposes (yes please yes please :D I need ideas for

Very interesting. For a while I've been meaning to explore the idea of infinite canvases within the context of UI engines - so you can eg have a scrollable region with infinite content in it that gets intelligently cached to disk etc.

This tiny thing may be interesting: https://gist.github.com/ryancdotorg/9f557d3513710ce91aed I stumbled on it randomly several months ago. I suspect that a) it might be interesting to read through and b) might help add

Wow, this looks really cool. Two things. 1. Will this work in Express? I plan to get back into Windows at some point soon, Express is where I'd probably start. 2. Is the vertical function naming thing part of the engine, or did you add

I've been pondering how to attack the problem of making better UIs for going on 10 years now. Half the time I think I'm completely out of touch and that my ideas are irrelevant (with good reason), the rest of the time I wonder wha

I think the idea of just immersing oneself in a language is incredibly natural and intuitive, and sounds like the least stress-inducing of all the possible methods one could use. And I've heard that it works: plunge yourself into a lan

The lack of an IDE is incredibly liberating, I agree. And you're right: http://www.strangegizmo.com/forth/ColorForth/msg00490.html I really need to wrap my head around colorForth's interaction model so I

by i336_ 11y ago
I've not tried it yet, but it gives me an impression very similar to that of Forth, in particular ColorForth. Very fascinating. I think the author would get along with Chuck Moore ({Color,}Forth's original author) very very well,

I've always had a dubious view of DuoLingo, the language learning community, etc; the people that have the loudest voices in those communities have a specific mental bent that lends them to approaching many languages, but the style of

Realtime translation, the art of listening or reading in one language, and typing or speaking in another, takes many years [citation needed, uneducated guess] and can only begin once someone is incredibly skilled and experienced at the lang

Agh, I remember there was this little thing that let you interactively play with neuron width and add and remove nodes, but I can't find it. Here's what else is in my bookmarks, aka what I've seen go past on here over the pas

I'd appreciate some pointers to where this is too. I've tried some obvious keywords but it looks like I need to be very specific. My email's in my profile.

Coming from someone who has very little idea of international politics, this question may be pointless and not worth answering, but I'm curious... What would happen if someone with more money than all the existing cartels combined were

I discovered a moderately old video from CloudFlare hiding in there, and had a rather big TIL moment. It's one thing to read "LuaJIT is one of the fastest dynamic languages" etc blah blah on http://luajit.org/

This would be an awesome break for me, but I'm dealing with a bunch of health issues right now so I'll have to pass. I'm wondering what would happen if this got posted to /r/technology though. My initial thought was

Hah, I'm out of touch with finding software... I should've thought of that. I've done that kinda of thing before. (Incidentally, I reckon the reason Archive.org isn't globally indexable is that it would abruptly cease to

This comment FTW. I'm using Slackware right now; a few years ago I tried Arch. I completely agree that it felt too tentative, way too tentative. You basically have to have a nervous system that's in top shape to be able to deal wi
