Seconding; choosing an appropriate projectors (resolution, luminance, throw distance) is not a trivial task. I'd like to hear what people have found that fits.

Yes! I've been similarly enchanted when I first saw Dynamicland (well, on twitter, the actual place being on a different continent) and I've actually started my own experiments (but never finished them :( ). Glad to see someone fo

It's a very different kind of interaction than with code on the screen, and fits the way one thinks in a much more concrete way. It's like an embodied metaphor, one that people are intimately familiar with, and the immediacy of it

This was super fun to play with, but I just wish at least the Fundamental modules were documented :( I know jack about synths, so I kind of have to gleam what each module does by what it looks like, it'd be nice if there were a descrip

This has nothing to do with choosing the right tool for the job, but with performance, which this discussion is about. Practically all JS frameworks, having multiple levels of (near-inscrutable) abstractions naturally degrade the performanc

Honestly, it also looks a lot better in my opinion. The 3D version is for lack of a better word more "computer-y" and cheap, its shortcomings are visually jarring and it doesn't really fail gracefully at all. It almost looks

Well if you're an average user, I might suggest not running your own DHCP server? Seriously, I understand where you're coming from, but you're blathering needlessly about an issue that is a) not really a contentious one, and

No sympathy here. If anyone relies on a free service, they must anticipate said service changing terms or functionality at any point in time, or even disappearing completely. It's unfortunate it affects many users who had no say in the

Nice! But what about areas where addresses haven't been proposed yet? Handing out GPS coordinates is a bit unwieldy, what if we made an algorithm that converted those to words that are easily memorable and can be spoken over the phone?

This seems like it does fill a need, but what I'd really rather avoid the Windows scenario, where each and every single app has its own auto-update manager - in addition to the system update manager. That just becomes a redundant mess
