   Unrelated, but I find that the technique used to blur the logo is really cool! He uses two images, one normal and the other blurred. Both images are using fixed positioning. The normal image is set as the `body` background, and the other i

   I think I'm the only one in this world who doesn't mind the async pyramid. To me, it is very intuitive. Also, if your pyramid is too deep, chances are you need to extract some of it into functions.

   Great work! I really like the art in this game. Did you create it yourself? What tools did you use?

    Yes, I could use my personal bank account. I guess the real blocker is the business number.

    Not yet for my startup/side project, no :/. No business number either.

    Thank you for mobile support! You guys are truly awesome. If only you would allow me to accept payments without a business and bank account number, like PayPal does...

    Anybody else want to share their experience with Joyent versus EC2? I'm considering doing the switch as my EC2 bill is getting a little expensive.

    Wow, impressive! I wish I had the resources to do cool stuff like this in High School. I don't think I knew anything beyond the structure of cells and some really simple compounds back in 9th grade.

    "OSRC staff primarily worked to develop the Linux support for AMD's server processor" It's almost like they want to fail. Do they expect their hardware to run Windows Server or something? Thankfully, the linux developers they're letting go

    Since the display is small (i.e. the pixel density is high), if I were to run OSX without scaling, everything would extremely tiny. That's the reason you need scaling. But you're still running at native resolution, so there's no blurring. T

    The true resolution of the 13" rMBP is 2560×1600, 15" rMBP is 2880×1800. That means even if you are getting a scaled down resolution of 1440×900, the real resolution of the display is still obscenely high. Everything is MUCH sharper than on
