Worth noting this was written up a year ago and there hasn't been a whole lot of progress since. Would love to see this idea progressed further, this seems really neat.

Cool. What's the use case?

My problem is that all of my ideas are too big. It seems that every new idea I think of -- well, if I kept going with it and finished it to the extent that it matches my idea, it would take a year or two. I don't have two years to waste on

I agree, make the logo, um, I mean screenshot bigger!

The real mess is how in ES6 they (the ES6 WG I mean) are furthering the illusion that JS supports classical OO, which is completely crazy. They should be going the other direction (and I think /be wanted to) but they steered away from that

That is way too much information for me personally (I am distracted enough as it is, and I believe real-time data like battery level belongs in your menu bar, not the terminal) but I can see how it would be useful to some.

I've never understood these sorts of statements. You can write spaghetti code in a functional language too. Instead of objects floating around, you have functions. Instead of objects interacting with each other in various ways, you have fun

That looks really nice. A lot of WebGL demos these days don't really show the full extend of what WebGL can do, so to my eyes it's basically equivalent to something like VRML (anyone remember that?). Of course WebGL/OpenGL and VRML are tota

This game. Who'd've thought that this game could be used to do so much?

I knew the original was somehow different too. Also, couldn't you right-click in the air to do tricks or something?

That's what I was going to say. I found the constant reformatting of the math stuff in the right pane extremely jarring. Otherwise, nice and simple.

I don't know too much about the underlying technology and/or science but I do know that more people should be getting excited about this. A warp drive!! What!!!

Oh, this is cool. I'm trying to make an interactive web thing that basically builds a musical sequence from input - it builds what you like, essentially. How do you get a computer to compose music? How do we deconstruct music? When a se

A couple of questions: 1) Is this a subset of Haskell, or a brand new language inspired by Haskell? 2) It appears that FRP (which by the way is a cool idea) isn't necessarily language-specific, is this true? My guess is that Elm just brings

Does anyone else think this is a tremendous waste of time for Facebook? I mean, obviously PHP powers a lot of stuff at Facebook, I'm sure there are zillions of lines of code they can't just replace today, and now they're forced to make it s

So if English is derived from Middle English which arose when the existing inhabitants of the British Isles took on the language of the newly arrived Scandinavians... where did Old English come from?

Wow, that is cool for sure. One comment: set the default scrolling behavior to "paged". I found that real-time movement was too blurry. Otherwise, great job!

Ah what I didn't know there was a WebMIDI draft... do any browsers plan to support this?

by mcmire 14y ago
Agreed, although improving load times all across the board is surprisingly helpful. It can make restarting your app in production after a deploy faster, for instance. If anything it just makes you happier in dev if you're running some Ruby

Yeah, I immediately thought of the falcon patches too when I saw this. Does anyone know how they compare to these patches?

Nice breakdown. Just a critique, I'm willing to bet that people were using therubyracer to compile CoffeeScript.

I like the gravity effect. Next: make it so I can drag around the menus.

That's pretty impressive. I know this because I spent a good nine months working on a clone of one of the Zelda games (I didn't make it very far, although granted, I went down a huge rabbit hole) and it is tough. So many things you have to

This reminds me of something I saw a while back (it might have been on Boing Boing or something, and I'm sure it made its way across the web) of a guy who had a camera he'd made out of an old scanner. Basically, the scanner would move acros
