Honestly, the only incredibly disappointing part of this project is that there currently doesn't exist a way for me to throw my money at you through the internet. In case you missed it, a link to be notified for the Kickstarter: http:

You're right, of course -- though the 1&2 vs. 2&4 is still a mechanical difference due to the random distribution of the new tiles. In Threes, you can be faced with a long string of 1s without seeing any 2s (and vice-versa); s

I strongly disagree with this, and I've played a lot of both Threes and 2048. The only serious mechanical difference is starting off with 1s and 2s instead of 2s and 4s -- everything else is exactly the same (from a gameplay perspecti

I think those two issues are somewhat related: the 'lack' of talent (I'd more call it an uneven distribution of talent) leads to a lack of parity amongst teams, and a lack of parity amongst teams leads to a pointless regular

I don't believe that's correct -- though he certainly receives more attention and scrutiny when he does so. Recently, he (along with pretty much everyone else) criticized the new sleeved jerseys: http://espn.go.com&#x2

It's worth noting that the commissioner of the NBA (the league in which Cuban is an owner) recently announced that they'll likely be putting sponsors' logos on NBA jerseys within five years: http://espn.go.com&#x2F

I'd argue that your chance of winning the bracket (or, at least, a valuation of it) is much higher than that given your ability to predict all of the matches prior. (I don't think this would qualify as gambler's fallacy, thou

I have played with Bokeh! The capabilities seem really impressive but my main problem with it is its lack of embeddability and flexibility, which I imagine will get ironed out as it matures (though the Python bindings are on point).

This reminds me a lot of Vega ( https://github.com/trifacta/vega ), albeit using a HTML/CSS approach as opposed to a JSON one. By default, I'm excited for new ways to approach data visualization, since its a r

This is somewhat belated, but Chrono Cross's OST (and art in general -- the backgrounds was incredible) is superb. Definitely makes up for the game's numerous other issues. Xenoblade Chronicles is the only other recent game whose

This is really cool -- particularly hxselect -- but I don't see how it's particularly simpler than using Python/requests. How would you handle following links and deduping visited URLs via piping?
