I think this is related too.. for 256 color terminals, a little off-the-cuff go lib I wrote that converts pictures to blended colored ascii https://github.com/minikomi/ansipix

A music video created with a gameboy camera: http://vimeo.com/19868821 It's also worth noting that the gameboy camera also contained a very weird and limited sequencer called trippy-H, which you accessed by first compl

I think Stack Overflow needs to enter a curation phase. There's still lots of gems popping up ( http://stackoverflow.com/questions/13134825/how-do-functors-... ), but they're so drowned out in the noise.

The Japanese alphabet is divided up into consonant vowel pairs like a i u e o ka ki ku ke ko ta chi tsu te to etc. You can see a table on wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hiragana The input

I feel like "flick input" for Japanese on smartphones is actually very very intuitive once you get used to it. I think it will adapt well to this interface too. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8V-za9LT_30 I'v

Usually that's a sign that the person learning doesn't have the right "toolbox" yet.. It requires stepping into their shoes and trying to build up smaller pieces which they can grasp, then allowing them to step through t

In learning Clojure first then Racket, it struck me how many good ideas came from racket.. and now how many are still being mined - typed racket being the obvious one.

Not sure what you're saying with this? That they're fairly equivalent except when you need heavy regex jiggling?

This reminds me of how great I thought this was: Hacker School is positive. When I had a bug that I didn’t understand and asked one of the facilitators to help me out, they would frequently say “Oh, interesting!”. The attitud

Totally agree. Gerald Sussman's enthusiasm not only for the language, but for teaching in general, goes a long way to making these so enjoyable as well.

Whenever APL and it's ilk are discussed I tend to wonder, other than project Euler, what are good "little problems" to start getting your feet wet?
