The actual "Font" data lives in the `src/v2` directory. For example, open up "Roboto_Thin.ufo/glyphs" from here, and you'll see a lot of ".glyph" files. These are essentially SVG's it appe

They'll likely release a series of peripherals that have one intended focus and an additional port, similar to iPad peripherals. The iPad HDMI adapter[1] has two inputs, one for HDMI and one for power, so you can charge and play at th

I agree. A lot of times I see people touting the separation of concerns, or the "official spec" for things (like HTTP verbs and REST), and finding workarounds that still adhere to these specs. I've worked on projects like t

The spaceport is being built specifically to accommodate SpaceX rockets. The idea is to have the rocket automatically fueled when it gets docked, use robotics to stand things up, and add a bit more automation to the overall process. There

Somebody wrote a new language/turing machine based off of pop culture, I'd say that's pretty on-top for HackerNews.

Faster internet makes building a grocery-sized cart online a lot easier today than it was 15 years ago. Add to this that the majority of cellphones in 2000 were mere phone/SMS devices, making it hard for shoppers to even get the lists

I agree with you on this. There's a large subset of the web development community who are shifting towards building desktop applications with web technology (atom-shell, node-webkit, brackets-shell, etc.). In a lot of these cases, th
