Hey, thanks for the links. Only problem is, I'm Canadian, and it's tricky to find people who will ship to me... But yeah, if we could get a bulk order in together that would be great!

I actually bought one of those to try it out back when I started the project. But the price was more like $1.50 from the place I bought it from (RobotShop). Since then, the price has gone up, so I feel ripped off at five bucks, eheh.

I've been making the feelSpace belt with an Arduino Pro Mini: http://feelspace.cogsci.uni-osnabrueck.de/en/technology_01.h... However, I haven't been able to find a cheap source of tiny vibrating motors (e.g. pager motors), so the project

As always with this sort of writing the piece itself doesn't follow the rule it sets: there are many needless paragraphs spent ranting about laptop battery monitors.

Violin, saxophone, learning the bass. Mostly jazzy style, but all-around.

It's along the same lines as "A programmer's view of the universe, Part 2" post about MarioKart. The point of the whole Dawkins/COMA bit is to show that the universe is yet another embedded system from which data can flow in and out. The tw

http://force7.de/nimrod/regexprs.html You're correct. It seems to work using a template, which is a simple macro. I wonder if those are hygienic... In any case, it seems you could use the macro facility to instead have explicit bindings f

Seconded! Though OMGUW might have you think otherwise, I rather like the university. On the topic, here are some Waterloo startups: http://wiki.watstart.ca/LocalStartups

This wishy-washy, rambling piece disrespects the reader.

In the next century, I can only hope, people will look back and laugh about how we used to store source code in textual form, and marvel at the idea of a "syntax error."

Some of the points are valid, but I'd like to see a follow-up post first once the author has learned about decorators (and maybe `with` statements).

Man, Hacker News is full of UW students, eh? I see people reading it in class all the time, this article is just more evidence...

Except that most wide screen displays these days can be rotated 90 degrees into a vertical orientation. Problem solved. Edit: Granted, that doesn't work for laptops, except for tablets.

If someone can implement a useful programming language with non-textual structure and do it right, that would be pretty hot. (There are a few out there, but they really need better editor support...) I have had something similar in mind f

"Xrange(), which generates numbers on demand, is more efficient and generally what’s needed." They capitalized a case-sensitive identifier because it was at the beginning of the sentence? I'm so conflicted!

Like everything else, video games follow Sturgeon's Law. Not only does Ebert's quote only consider big-budget mainstream games, but it also lacks perspective, considering the relative youth of the video game compared to other media. Anyway,

Here's a terrible brainfuck interpreter: http://python.pastebin.com/f3d434dd2 I wrote it as an exercise in functional style, and so it has no mutation (other than the tuple assignment in the main loop, which I couldn't devise a functional

Don't they remain unbroken only because there are currently paths of lesser resistance? And iTunes is already routinely hijacked to strip DRM from the iTunes Store.

Hmm, these remind me a lot of political commercials. Rather than discuss the features and merits (issues and policies) over competitors, they concentrate on identifying with the customer ("Here's a candidate you could have a beer with!"). A
