Netflix fails to offer many titles with the full high bitrate DTS-MA audio track that is available via popcorntime. Even for discs (not streaming), popcorntime wins on quality. Netflix claims they are just using the product made available

I'll just put a little note on my site instructing users of Chrome on Windows to do that :) It has been YEARS of putting up with the horrible Google font rendering in Google's browser on Windows, all the while IE and Firefox rende

Always an interesting subject. I can't help but feel it would reach a much wider audience and achieve a greater impact if it was subjected to an automated grammar check, or edited by a native English speaker. I could not get through

I would never ever propose banning something like CodeCombat. Personally I love it and think the world is better for its existence. Heck, I am one of those boys who loves RPG and FPS games. I also know they are not what motivates or en

Spot on. With so many choices out there for ways to introduce coding, I try to pick the ones that can engage everyone. Scratch for example. I teach a lesson on "projectiles" with Scratch where we explore methods of aiming, laun

I teach programming classes at my kid's K-8 school. I was looking for fun ways to teach Javascript and took a long hard look at Code Combat but ultimately had to reject it. It might be a good option for an elective course or after sc

The page also has horrible rendering defects in the android browser, suggesting a general lack of attention to the reader's experience.

I teach programming in the classroom using Scratch and just recently started using Hopscotch for younger learners (age 9 and 10). I really dislike many of the changes in the new Hopscotch release. they feel like UX designing run amok, out

while you are at it, the link to stacktracejs.com is invalid. For some reason they don't serve the www. version of their domain and the heading and menus on your page overlap on Chrome under Windows when the browser is sufficiently na

Cascade is in Kirkland. I've heard they have around 100 employees. In addition to managing Bill Gates' portfolio, they also manage the portfolio of the Gates Foundation. They intentionally keep a very low profile.

That's a shame. How hard can it be? Out of the box defaults should suffice and make for a realistic/reasonable test environment.

By minimum wage territory I guess you mean the range of $50 - $100/day? You must have a pretty low ecpm to only earn that much from 100k visitors/day. My experience is at least 6x that range.

It is great that the installation works with Express. Much preferable to the approach taken by the Python Tools for VS requiring a separate installation of the bare VS shell. They say they can't enable installation of PTVS on Express

Did you consider other methods of scoring besides money? Granted money is easy to count but it is a debatable measure of which game is better or who was most successful at the task of learning to make games.

Thanks, I read that article. Do you think Indian English is strictly colloquial similar to the dialects of English we have in the US? Or does it have its own accepted grammar enforced by proofreaders and copy editors? For example African

I know this is completely tangential, but I am hoping someone can enlighten me. What's the best way to think about or explain the prevalence of grammatical errors in the Indian English-language press? Is it because Indian English is i

Vexing that all of the links to Enigma.io in the blog post are malformed. I manually navigated to enigma.io because who can resist that name, and was intrigued by what they do. I thought it might fit in with a technology class I teach. D
