If Apple already makes great trackpads for laptops, why not just use their hardware?

Seems like it would be very difficult to standardize so many different types of data...

I think it's worth noting that Unreal Engine's source code is available free of charge, and they actively engage with the developer community on GitHub. It's an interesting cousin of Open Source, but nobody talks about this s

It would be really great to see some plain-english explanation of what the algorithm does, for those of us who aren't already knee-deep in ruby/ActiveRecord.

Fuck. I feel shocked ... sick. I don't know what to say. I went to RIT with Mike. He was a seriously passionate developer and very clearly destined for great things. Finding out about this here makes me wish I had stayed in touch. This

Actually I wasn't being sarcastic -- our smartphones really are more insidious than Telescreens, from a technical standpoint.

I think there's a lot more room for speculation. We haven't been able to observe nearly enough tidally-locked planets to make general rules about them. Such new types of planets are likely to exhibit all sorts of phenomena that ac

Shock & Awe! You'd think the fact that a smartphone stays in your pocket would be more alarming. The things have multiple cameras, microphones, GPS tracking devices, and a whole myriad of personal information stored on them. They

I'd guess that these permissions actually only pertain to files that the app itself creates.

For those interested in a more technical explanation for the Super Mario Sunshine 60FPS romhack, go here: http://jul.rustedlogic.net/thread.php?id=17475 The hack seems like it was possible because the engine was designed to

Ha, I actually submitted an issue to this yesterday. It's a good example but misses some really important (i.e. usually-confusing) stuff: error/failure handling and rollbacks.

It's great to see more example Flux projects using different implementations, but what we really need is just one larger and more sophisticated app example. I've been adapting a React-based app to the Flux architecture for the l

For once I want to read an article from someone who's a true insider in the alleged "market" selling and re-selling user data. (Edit: I'm not suggesting such a market doesn't exist -- I'd just like to know what

Kinda. It would be nicer to limit permissions on a per-"application" level, requiring one-time explicit grants from the user, kinda like how a lot of platforms already do it (web browsers, Android APK, etc).

One anti-stuffocation tip: Invest in a good camera. Get one that can take decent close-ups. Why? So when you have something you don't want to get rid of for one sentimental reason or another, you can just take a few pictures of it for

"Hey Nim, 2014 called... they want their language features back." I jest. But seriously, D, Rust, and C++14 are about as familiar to me as Nim.

This seems like a step away from "ridiculous" to me. Declaring something as 1.0 means that any 1.X releases are going to be backwards-compatible with the 1.0 spec. This is objectively different than versioning something 0.X, which

I think a better option might be to use some kind of flag in `package.json` -- kinda like the `engines` flag.

Huge props for diving in to a mostly-extinct platform! I've always wondered what the process was for game programmers on the early PCs and consoles. Are there any books or documentaries that go into depth about the development proces

Great reference doc! Grotesquely thorough.

In that case, it makes more sense to publish each submodule as an individual NPM module.

This is really just a terminology thing; I prefer "Libre" vs "Permissive".

I'll give it another shot (I have to for my current project) -- but I don't think my initial assessment is "total BS". I understood what D3 was doing under the hood, and experienced a lot of friction/confusion when

Because the first thing I should be expected to do when choosing to use a library to achieve my data-viz goals is to read through a dozen tutorials about a needlessly-complex API.
