   The "problem domain" is not as narrow as you would have it be. People are entertained by music of all sorts, not only "Weapons-grade commercial music" (whatever that is). A step on the way is far more productive than sa

   Sure looks like Turing patterns that you get with Reaction-Diffusion simulations. See http://pmneila.github.io/jsexp/grayscott/ and select "holes"

   Suggestion for the author. Reformat the code of your translated example. I truly found it impenetrable until I formatted it more like idiomatic d3.js code. With this reformatting, I'll buy that it is less annoying and tedious than t

   To answer the question: Yes, still worth it. Just read it and make up your own mind. To ask my own...how do people who read GEB find his latest "Surfaces and Essences: Analogy as the Fuel and Fire of Thinking"? I'm just sta

   I made a jsFiddle version. Easier for hacking the mass/drag/etc vars. http://jsfiddle.net/rogerallen/LCbpz/

   Thanks. All props should go to Paul Haeberli for the original idea. I should really update it to add controls for mass and friction. Actually I should make a jsfiddle for this. But, I'm in the middle of something else at the moment.

    I have been encouraged to try out Nextdoor, and I am convinced they could provide a good service. But, I cannot convince myself it will be profitable and stick around. How will nextdoor make money? The normal rule seems to be--if you can

    Don't any of you have kids? This is like crack cocaine for middle-school boys. Creating houses, weapons, hunting monsters, creating traps, exploring scary places...etc, etc, etc.

    Why oh why did they not come out with a SVG 1.0 that was static and simple to implement. A resolution independent replacement for images. Sigh, what might've happened...

    I have to say I really love the 3d pan/zoom interface. That is a great way to move quickly between different contexts.

    Personally, I'm a bit freaked out about the negative reaction some people have to this. Everyone should be allowed some time off and that includes email. If you aren't ignoring work, then it isn't a real vacation. That said, I would encou

    Was playing with this a bit a lunchtime... Modifying your main routine to do 3x3 super-sampling reduces flashing/aliasing quite a bit. Check it out. void main(void) { float s = 0.0; for( float xx = 0.0; xx < 1

    Thank you! While modern CPUs are definitely fast, they are not as fast as GPUs for code like this. Dynamic & realtime FTW.

    Did he really claim ownership of the idea? Sounds exactly like what Moore pointed out in 1991 via "Crossing the Chasm". http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crossing_the_Chasm

    That is just sweet, sweet profit for him as far as I'm concerned. As long as I get my product, I'm happy. He can spend it on hookers & blow if he wants. :^) But, then again I'm a first-time kickstarter user, so perhaps greybeards fro
