Wow, that's it! I've been searching for this. Thank you. Amazing that a simple 256 color animation from 1989 can change your life ;)

A rotating clown's head changed my life. I think it was 20 years ago. I would love to see that animation again. I think it was a FLIC file. The beauty of the lighting started the (3D) programmer / designer in me.

Slightly unrelated: This is what I like about Google+. Posts and discussions are very readable. I think this also shows Google+ is not dead.

After seeing this video it appeared to me both interfaces are quite bad for first time users. Most HN readers won't have a problem with it, but concepts like multiple desktop-pages are very hard to understand for first time users. Overall I

The spacing of the Arduino pins (between 7 and 8) is a strange decision. But a big advantage of the Arduino is it's popularity. There are a lot of Arduino shields on the market. The grblShield for example ( https://www.synthetos.com/webstor

Very stupid of me that I didn't notice this. But I never noticed it until I saw the Canonical font. Maybe that's why it looks proportional?

This is a really good question: "Is Unity the best place to invest man-hours with extended development right now?" It's very hard to balance the needs of the commercial department and the development department.

Well I did not agree with the 'God being a single electron'. I just observed that a theory like the single electron is nominated for being 'interesting' while other theories are being nominated as 'not possible'. Edit: The egg theory is eve

Ofcourse religion is misused for taking power and therefore a lot of people don't like to think about it. But I find it always a little strange that a God theory is more 'strange' than a single electron theory. In the end it seems we still

It's strange that we see Asian brands as copy-cats all the time. Copy-cats just copy but a lot of upcoming Asian brand are improving. I think this is why Steve Jobs was inspired by Sony: making improvements. But I have to admit there are al

My guess: bad programming, using big frameworks and implementing cool and overhyped features that don't matter. Unlimited scrolling is nice, but not necessary. Dynamic loading of content is nice, but not necessary. And the list goes on... T

Maybe a silly question, but can you abuse WebGL for lets say multi-channel audio processing (byte array, data URI)?

Aren't booth babes not just a copy of car shows? I think in car shows they are doing this because of the "when you drive (buy) this car you can get all the babes in the world". I also don't get it in sports. Why should a striptease-looking-

Some time ago I discovered ribbons can be collapsed (Ctrl+F1, or the icon on the far right). I hated them but when they are collapsed everything is looking clean and they just work like a drop-down-menu with icons. Ribbons are a big mess bu

I'll be fair with him: I would also decline because I would not like to be like him. For me it has nothing to do with being understood. I read his 'who am I' and all I thought was "man, his life is so empty". But I can't say why. Sometimes

There is a very simple solution for this problem: functional design in the form of wireframes and descriptions. Design is communication and interaction. Design consists of functional and graphic design. When you provide a functional design

Maybe he is having small hardware issues. Sometimes you won't notice them until you upgrade lets say your video driver (or parts of the OS using them different).

The video tells it all: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ifF-MOuzM_s I think this is also a great example for startups. When things don't go as planned (nuclear disaster) don't give up innovating.

"I'm not entirely sure what you mean by sampling pixels" I think I'm confusing some things. I can understand that each pixel of a sensor can output values from lets say 0 to 1V where 0V is dark, 1V is light. So you need a shutter-time bec

But doesn't a camera sample pixels at a given rate? So lets say a camera can access image data from the sensor @ 100Hz and you store this over time (exposure time) it doesn't matter how bright areas are. But I can be completely wrong. Maybe

The HDRI shot on top of the site is very nice! But I don't understand why these shots are still not possible with current camera's. If you take a picture with the longest exposure time wouldn't it be possible to dim the brightest areas usin
