I don't know about others, but I think this is kinda amazing? There's been so many times I've wanted to have this ability when setting up a lab. Thanks for sharing!

Ct-js and Pixi.js is great, but personally I always reach for Phaser ( https://phaser.io/ ) and the Phaser Editor 2d IDE ( https://phasereditor2d.com/ ) first for games. There's just more batteries include

It's true that you can find most content somewhere freely available in various disparate corners of the web and everything is trivial if you have the info... but that's a strange reason to automatically reject a book you haven

I know there are studies that suggest elections tend to favor Republicans when voting becomes more restrictive but my intuition is that in this unique case this is just as devastating to Republicans as Democrats since older folks are not go

Maybe it's better if beginners treat Rust the same way they would when learning a new music instrument. For most people it's better to take lessons early to avoid bad habits, and assume you know very little even if you know anoth

Recap: Every time you have trouble searching for something, make a page with the information you find. It makes sense, but I'm just wondering what's the end goal since I imagine the frequency of such searches is very low and your

Too little too late? ARM is already owned by SoftBank, UK had decades to incentivize the company to not take foreign owners or move headquarters, it's strange for the MP to bring this up now.

I think you're right in that it wouldn't be as meaningful for a school with departments with only 10 grads, but I think it's unlikely that a department's chair and faculty would care or even consider to mandate their gra

I've never been able to get a refund on a purchase on iOS app or ever had a customer email to the App Store get responded. I think you might just be commenting on the UI? In that case - yes absolutely, it is visually pretty and easy to

It's not the work of a high intellect, but I don't think it's fair to proclaim it as pointless. Most creative output, such as modern art and especially stand-up comedy is all about making parallels - it's up to the viewe

Sorry if this is remotely tangentially related, but wasn't there a startup many years ago backed by silicon valley bigwigs with the mission to mine asteroids for gold and diamonds? Or did I see that in a movie?

Do you notice any patterns in the incoming traffic? Any pattern you can distill will lead you to your final fix. Otherwise it's just guessing. Good luck!
