They're related in the sense that the type of gameplay changes and unfolds as you progress. Frog Fractions is much more linear, I suppose. You move from one game type to the next, instead of having multiple in parallel.

And Frog Fractions is worth checking out if you like Candy Box.

The Terminator TV show had Sarah+John Connor jump from 1999 to 2007 in the first episode.

Yeah, you could test this in the first example by replacing the string 'interval' with something like "alert(str.length)" , and then redefining console.log=eval . e: nm, I missed pcwalton's point -- when you cal

In Firefox you could always do it manually with about:memory -- 1MB a second should be easy enough to notice. Not sure they've added a way to get a pretty graph yet, though. Probably Firebug has a way? I wonder if using the "u

Calling that the "bookmarks window" will just confuse people. It's not a window.

Thanks -- I'd previously read a passage where Feynman talks about the idea of "negative" colors, but I somehow had missed that there was a whole chapter in the Lectures about vision!

I found wikipedia's section on "The mathematics of color perception" very, err, illuminating. It made me realize just how complicated the topic is... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_perception#Mathema

No, not necessarily. I've met someone who had a benign brain tumor -- it caused them to have mood swings, but was not in any danger of spreading. In their case the doctors didn't remove it because the operation would have been mo

A weird version of tic-tac-toe my friends and I came up with years ago: you play without a board. Any move is valid so long as you could superimpose a standard tic-tac-toe grid over the results. (You assume the marks are at the center of

They've always had a quite prominent "fork on github" button. Their suggested course of action is to fork on github and then clone to your local filesystem. You then push changes to your fork on github, and open a pull req

Hmm, as someone who spends most of their time on github looking at pull requests and issues, this seems a step backwards. Not a huge one, but it was nicer to have my most frequent points of interaction at the top. I deal with the code itse

I first read about it in an old Tom Clancy novel. A short bit of googling led me to this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canary_trap So the technique was well known by 1987, which certainly qualifies as typewriter days.

It's twice the typical grad student pay check. (Ignoring the tuition/healthcare coverage you normally get, anyway.)

That attitude doesn't work for open source projects, where you need to worry about any barrier to pulling in new contributors.

I know mozilla has a drastically simplified interface for reporting Firefox bugs. Is that not an option in general bugzilla installations? https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/enter_bug.cgi

That's not at all what "The Book" means, though! The idea is that a proof from "The Book" feels perfect in the same way that, say, listening to Bach does. Less natural, more transcendental.

By "political" I really meant "involved in elections". (Which the organization you mention no longer is.) Sorry, sloppy language on my part.

1. The IRS thing is completely separate from the NSA stuff, and the comment I responded to was discussing the NSA. 2. The IRS stuff is also way more complicated than it seems. They're supposed to target political organizations, beca

They meant that they thought magnetic effects were weaker than electric in this particular situation, not in general. It's just worded horrendously in the press release.

Watergate was unambiguously targeting rival political parties. That's why it was such a big deal. Nothing that's come to light so far is on that type of level. No matter how strongly you think the government is overstepping its

It's interesting that you just assume the OP would take your side on those issues. If literally everyone agreed, they would not be an issue. :) Completely orthogonally, sometimes people judge someone based on the intention behind t

Heh, and a closed web would be better? This is kind of a borderline troll -- a nonsensical, sweeping generalization that will provoke a strong response. Let's not have this comment thread grow too deep. :)
