That could be because the demo doesn't use requestAnimationFrame. This javascript call will stop whatever function it's given when the canvas is out of view. Frankly I've only noticed major issue on Mac. I'm developing a WebGL app and my bo

Hum I read that more as, we need it secret or corps providing us info will never accept to do it and will fight to the end even if they are legally bound to provide the information. So it's not that they don't want challenges it's that they

Guess I'll have to drive down to the US to get one. Canada is somehow always excluded from new google projects. I'd like them to tell us which laws or limitation cause this. Crappy ISPs and Mobile networks?

I drove to work today because my wife ankle was sore. I have a book I've been trying to finish and the 30 minute drive sorta annoyed me. I could have been so much more productive during that time. I also drive from Canada to Florida multipl

I'm with Kirk on this one, the Good of the one sometimes outweigh to good of the many as is the case here.

With the number of engineers and people google employs it's obvious it's going to have to spread around to give everyone of them something to do. I think it's fine as long as the top is able to keep it under control but I have to admit that

The only reason bands still go with them is due to maketing power I think. The web should be able to fix that for them. Myspace reinvented itself as a platform for musicians to market themselves but they are dying right now so there some sp

Your cousins in Canada feel your pain, hell all I have to do is drive 30 minutes and I can use all this cool stuff.

so what he's saying is that even if I paid for the music I store in my amazon cloud drive, just because amazon probably doesn't store a separate copy of each song of my collection amazon should be paying him performance royalty? This dude a

I've been working on this project for the past year and a half. I'd like to get some feedback on it from HN. We use it mainly to to view surface images extracted from MRI volumes and data applied as color textures but it's generic enough to

That would be counter productive, what we are trying to do in infiltrate their intellectual elite and put people with our liberal views in place. MOuahahahahahaa. This protectionist stuff is stupid. I collaborate with people in China on som

Some cool demos, kinda sad it requires a plugin. The medical imaging CT segmentation example is very similar to something I'm working on at the moment using javascript and the canvas tag. Edit: quick demo for those interested (requires fire

They have to be made available. You can ship a binary with a link to the code for example. But I do believe it's supposed to be available from the day the binaries are out.

Well in the end the frequency of someone pressing the red button went down as the challenge was pretty much eliminated. You're looking at it as if the glass was half empty. It's not perfect but it allowed them maximum freedom to play with s

That's similar to how parents can't think of a world where they would let their unprotected child walk 500 meters to the school nearby. Those system did not have network access at first and when they finally did most of the people on the ne

If you have a saddist sysadmin he wouldn't allow you to use su or any other dangerous command that are not approved. Sudo is a rather impressive tool. If you need to give someone access to root for one or two commands, it can do that. It's

I haven't seen them around, I mean I can buy a Playbook at Indigo ( a bookstore in Canada) but good luck finding a Xoom. Plus for the price it's hard to justify I guess for non android nerds like me. But whatever, the Xoom is one devices, l

Now if someone will just write a 70 line Haskell interpreter in lisp we can have lispkell all the way down.

Is there anyone on our side? Looking at the Canadian elections currently, I'm not sure there is a single party that wouldn't pass a C-32 or NZ like bill. It's sad. The 301 list is such a joke it's not even funny. I think Canada should raise

It's not that we think Google did it because they were hiding something but imaging those insinuations he was making end up in the press, and snowball, they decided they didn't want to deal with it and let him go, which is completely legal

I'd like to see it run in a browser also, that would be awesome.

I'm a newb or something but : (cdr ()) makes it explode. What's nil? null nil don't exist I do really like this. I was hoping for something like this where it would allow me to write lisp instead of javascript.

I agree with you but there is nothing that prevents browser vendors from making the extension available I believe. I do wish the WebGL standard would support extensions a little better. I've also seen a lot of request for things like 3D tex

Yeah that's true but you have to be found guilty first, they can't just (I hope) pick you up and put you on a plane without a trial of some sort or a valid reason that can be challenged in court (If you are a PR, that is or a visa holder).
