It doesn't look like it works on Cosmos Space-Time. Other than that, really cool.

I think a fair compromise would be to have a setting to adjust the 'wobble'. I like both charts, but it mostly looks like Camillo prefers the font (only speculating).

As much as I like this as a way to get kids interested, and I know that NASA couldn't offer massive fundamental design differences to an uneducated public (just not knowing what is safe), I was hoping for a little more than what patter

Really cool techniques (this is the background removal one). I'm curious on how well this would work on hair color detection. My thoughts are that you could run face detection, and since detection almost always (anecdotal) find just th

I just switched from GAE to AWS due to not handling OpenCV; but I had someone suggest I could do the image handling via Google Cloud. I'd already made the switch, but was still curious since the original site was written for GAE.

I don't see the Oculus performing better in either industry; if anything I think it would be the amazing bridge between the two. Like someone else has said, I doubt games or movies will vanish, just like books never really vanished. If

I'd encourage students to compete, even if your best bots just run away from their enemies. My buddy and I actually used Battlecode as our final project in our AI course. We worked as a team and then had a mini competition between ours

It is possible with the help of flowcharts and pseudo-code; the issue I've run into many times is depending on the class, you'll lose student interest over not actually doing anything. If it is a matter of limited resources, ala n

Nice! I actually used a horrible version of Street Fighter for my Intro to Programming course. We were learning conditionals, so I thought, "Why not teach them character selection and Event listeners?" A little confusing, but kept

I won't lie, this was probably the only annoyance I had with Winamp; however, years ago, I just decided Winamp was the 'everything' playlist on shuffle and if I ever had a hankering for a specific song, I'd use VLC. If I

There are ultimately two types of people in the comments right now: those that will miss Winamp and those laughing it was still around. Winamp worked. It played all your MP3s without any of the other fluff. It played your music in a very li

I'm not saying formatting a document isn't important, it is. But the degree I'm required to teach, or when I tutored is grad school, is a bit overboard. We have an entire chapter on MS Office integration where they'll le

Carpal tunnel symptoms can be reduced by properly stretching/exercising the wrists. In Aikido, we do a lot of wrist locks, so before each class, we stretch them out. I think the exercises are the reason I'm the only techie I know
