I'm likely way off the mark here, but wouldn't anything with great intelligence and no emotional responses be a sociopath?

Yeah, I saw a lib the other day that tried to offer this but was pretty hit and miss, and checking into the methods available didn't fill me with confidence. Right now I'm only considering the client offline if an attempt to hit the server

I'm planning on queuing up updates when offline for my app. On the technical side of things, it's incredibly easy when done from the ground up. In fact I think it's made the entire thing much cleaner and far easier to develop. The harder pa

The fact that this version will be free makes me think it'll be limit. It'd be a real shame if it was missing survival, or something like that.

Is it? I thought it was basically standard/expected for serving to a browser from node.

I was talking to a friend recently about how little of the sea we had explored, and he wondered out loud why it seems like people tend to take a bigger interest in space than deep sea exploration. I joked that it's because the sea is goddam

This was actually the first thing I tried, half expecting it to smart match the text.

Tip for Windows though you probably already know, crank the DPI up. It helps a little bit, although it makes Windows behave funny when you want to run something fullscreen. I really hope comprehensive support for high res displays lands in

Whoops, done, thanks.

I agree and want to add this: If you take a look at your requirements and how you use the screen, and compare them to my own, you can see how incredibly versatile a screen like this is. I really hope both the hardware and software that make

Anyone with the 15" rMBP, if you haven't tried it yet, grab an app called SetResX (There are others, but SetResX is free and the only one I've actually tried). It'll let you force the screen to 2880x1800. This might just be me, but I love t

A bit of detail on why I hated the meds: I had pretty negative side effects from the get go, and eventually problems with tolerance, which eventually led to her prescribing an increased dose every checkup (6 months like clockwork). Over the

Sorry for the long post, just wanted to put my perspective down for once. I was diagnosed with ADHD when I was about 7-8, by advice of a teacher. If I had to put a severity to it, I'd guess severe. When I was in young, it was a physical fe

This idea made me fall in love with Enders Game. I'm interested to see how they handle it in the movie.

I dunno, the mac store, and the fact that you now need to jump through hoops to run .app files you grab online seem like a solid step towards lock down to me. Note, I say this as a MBP + iPhone owner. It's just hard to think Apple wouldn't

Big node fan, hadn't seen this either. Side note, not criticising parent comment specifically, just thinking out loud: I still don't get why people question relevancy of submissions on sites like HN. Surely if its getting upvoted enough to

Sort of reminds me of Ff12's gambit system. As simple as it was, you could model some pretty comprehensive behaviour with it. I could definitely see expanding it and building an entire game around it.

Wow some of the comments on that page are horrifying, and incredibly hostile. "Ex Zynga employee is just a spoiled little brat with no common sense." "wow what a spoiled douche." "Is this supposed to make us feel bad?" "You played th

I'm using one of those with a 13" mid2010 mbp to power a 30" display at 2560x1600. It works, just make sure you use a dvi-d cable as well, most of the complaints I noticed about it not working when I was researching it seemed to be because

Sort of unrelated, but it was my first thought: I sort of wish there was a cross platform store for wrapped web apps that could make them look sort of native-ish, that was widely adopted. Not because this is actually something I want or thi

When Meteor was released it was floating on the front page of HN for a while and attracted a lot of attention. One of the biggest criticisms people had was the total lack of authentication, which the developers said would be released eventu

I was a a bit bummed when I realised that slick scrolling is canvas. It feels outstanding on my mac trackpad. It's a very 'appy' web-app, if that makes sense. It wasn't until I read the comments here that I realised that this doesn't actual

Australian resident here, internet access is slow, overpriced (Example: $30AUDp/mo for 5GB including upload and downloads, after which you're slowed to 65kb/s until end of month), and seemingly constantly under threat of censorship or lawsu

I get a similar 'even to Australia' message, and damn do I appreciate it. As an Australian I find myself avoiding online purchases because shipping costs routinely run more expensive then what I want to buy, unless you want to wait 30+ days

To clarify, I wanted to submit to portal sites like newgrounds and kongregate, just for fun. Nothing commercial, just a bit of fun with some well established communities. But I don't see myself looking into it at all now.

It took me a while to fully understand this bulletin because the idea that Adobes suggested solution to a security vulnerability is to sell you CS6 was so foreign it didn't seem possible. It looks like CS6 is a $199 upgrade. I've had "Make

I tried using ddg as my default search in chrome but had to switch back pretty quickly, not because of search relevance, but because of speed. For me every ddg search takes roughly 2-5 seconds to show results, as opposed to Googles <1 s
