Glad to hear the book is still a work in progress! I was a bit disappointed when Amazon canceled my pre-order.

You know that's on purpose, right? Different browsers have different defaults. Therefore, the easiest way to ensure consistency is to start from a clean slate and be explicit.

Oh nice! If so, then I'm glad I signed up for Amazon Prime. I'm still getting an iPad, though :D

This post makes an interesting point about the nature of co-operation in competition. It sounds very much like the Nash equilibrium in game theory.

Hmm. It's very nice, but in Chrome I can't figure out how to make the video play in full-screen mode.

The referenced paper on deliberate practice by Ericsson has been linked on HN many times before. Here's a link I found on Google: http://projects.ict.usc.edu/itw/gel/EricssonDeliberatePracti...

Leading spaces aren't much of a problem, but aligning comments on the right-side is much harder due to the variable widths of each line. And even if you align them in your editor, they'll be misaligned for people who use fixed-width fonts.

I made both tall, but you can still win if you build up enough speed. The collision detection needs to be improved :-)

Any sources for that? I know Lua is often used as a scripting language in 3D games since it is very easy to embed a Lua interpreter into your game. If you haven't seen it, you should take a look at the lua source code. It's beautiful. Essen

Any chance you could implement a "Mail HN Link" similar to what Tweetie 2 does for "Mail Tweet"? That would make it really easy to forward HN links to a number of friends. If you haven't seen that feature of Tweetie 2, it's awesome. It embe

It would be also be nice if the list of steps wasn't displayed all at once, but more like a lazy evaluator (Show-Me-Next-Step?). That way you can let Mathematica lead you for a bit, but then still be able to proceed on your own without too

I'd heard of Goodreads before, but was already using LibraryThing.com by then. Now I'll have to take a second look at goodreads and see what's new. Incidentally, does anybody know if there's an easy way to transfer books between those two s
