This was a nice article. In the comments Jarek Duda discusses some of the more technical details of the implementation and of his ANS paper that enabled this writeup. One cool thing I noticed is this: Another advantage of ANS is that

I tried this alpha out with a friend, it seems like the multiplayer is completely broken, each time we start a match we get out-of-sync errors and can't play. I wonder if this has to do with trying to play using linux and OS X

I enjoy reading his finds a lot. He tends to find relatively blatant lapses in the various security measures of the sites he investigates.

I think it could provide an interesting way for producers to discover unique and interesting samples to use in their tracks.

A lot of the examples are much more impressive when being rotated with the mouse, they produce some pretty crazy patterns. Take a look at the Dragon Spirograph and Dance for me.

I never realized the scale of energy consumption by streetlights, though when I give it some thought, it's not all that surprising. I wonder if there would be the possibility of using these lights to only illuminate the road and say

To better understand the scale of the detectors, look at this picture of ATLAS: https://www.google.com/maps/views/view/streetview/cern/cern-... . There's a _crane_ reaching up to the beamline w

It'd be great to have some sort of documentation about what this does / is supposed to do. I assume it contains some sort of stabilization code which I would love to take a look at along with other maneuver code.

Besides, using a typewriter is really the only viable way for him to do this. If he used a computer he would have to deal with power, printers etc... If he handwrote it then there would be the issue of legibility, consistency and fatigue. A

I'd like a dev environment to be made in oculus rift. Why simply limit ourselves to games (though very cool and fun)? To me it seems like the oculus allows for an entirely separate reality to be created. Imagine putting on the rift and

I this is a really font, and I appreciate the clear set of rules and guides that help establish the coherence of the font. However, I dislike the overall appearance and I think I'll be sticking the the default Sublime font (Menlo) whic

The way I've understood the recent leak was that we know the NSA has been concentrating on breaking SSL, 4G and others but that the actual techniques haven't been revealed. Besides, I feel that it is very important to know that ba

Can any legally informed HNer explain the probability of criminal prosecution? The article seems to imply that it is un certain that this is illegal, but to me it seems like this is insider trading at the very least and maybe something else

It'd be great if botnets would help the tor network and turn some nodes into relays (including exit) to help anonymity and capacity, at least they wouldn't parasite off the network completely.

In the case of Tor, the objective is to obtain a valid circuit relatively quickly so I feel that even exponential backoff would need a low max time to be practical.

As a current CS undergrad, is it worth it to pursue an MS after I finish my BS? I understand it that in many ways it is a highly personal choice yet, I don't want to end up wasting time I could be spending doing something more productive/be

Considering that the first ship had 6 spaces advertised, you might be able to determine the schedule by book all the spots.

I don't know much about how autolayout works, but wouldn't it be possible to solve some of the constraints at compile time? e.g when you compile your app for iphone it could try and solve as much as possible considering the known screen siz

They can modify it to simply say whether your account was compromised, regardless of whether you have an account (ie, if no account -> not compromised).

None of those languages are equivalent to ruby. They may be faster but they don't support the same features, syntax etc...

I figure they have some sort of iframe busting script that lets them gain access to the top frame.

There are many wineskin / cider wrappers that exist for HW2. The only problem is that multiplayer won't work.

If you could somehow get sourcemaps for haml/sass/whatever it would make debugging css/html in the browser so much easier when working with serverside templates.

For the aver person a small camera is a smartphone, which needs to be obviously held up when filming. Google Glass would be omnipresent so you wouldn't notice when a camera is turned on.

Though you bring up an interesting point, we are still very far from being able to do much of what you described. Being able to erase people entirely from video in real time is something I haven't seen done, nor do I think it would be feasi
