Excellent! Didn't know about web components. Are there any big blockers that would prevent libraries like jQuery Mobile moving into this?

Point taken, yet this particular problem with players asked one after the other is simpler than the case when players are each spawned their own Ask. Here's a simple solution to your problem: function getAllNames(players, callback)

I find Leap Motion quite accurate. You will quickly get used to the convenience of gestures with BetterTouchTool, and wish you had it on computers which don't have Leap Motion. Otherwise, The gestures used by apps is something that nee

Here's another "thought": - If academics kept compiling the knowledge of the world starting at 2000BC, and everybody were taught the knowledge, we'd have reached our current level of science by 1000BC.

Some of these comments cannot be falsified: - You could be a computer. - There could be a colony on earth millions of years ago. Oh, and he is an economist too! How appropriate. Yep, Dr Hanson, keep up the good work.

I admit I haven't really traveled much on the less beaten paths. From the quality of what I have seen, I thought they must have policies for the minimum acceptable quality of all the public facing services to developers. On the other h

Google does give a lot of love to developers. AFAIK, they have dedicated developer teams for developer relations; just look at the quality of their API documentations and support. This one looks like a operations issue. Perhaps they do not

So far, I thought CoffeeScript as something neat to use. After going through the slides, I now think it is not worth it for a mildly seasoned javascript programmer. I can see how it could help a newcomer to avoid javascript pitfalls, but th

1) Matlab is awesome for scientific computing and simulations. 2) Many Matlab users don't write any code but scientific code. They couldn't care less about how flexible python (or other language) is, when they already use and know

Many things could go wrong, I am not saying it did, or would, but could. Perhaps it was too crowded, perhaps she was really tired, perhaps she is not confident with her english, perhaps she was not feeling well otherwise. Also, US cities ar

Don't get stuck to age. Just talk with your doctor, and ramp up slowly. A friend started at 65 after retirement, and he is doing great. Although, he was able to hire a coach, and he was already active before that.

Some of us continuously have to get better at new things or learn new things in our professional life, which might be making it harder to learn new things outside of work. There are so many things that I would like to invest a year to get b

As a community, we should react responsibly and warn our members against sharing posts like this. There is almost no useful insight, clearly parts of it are exaggerations, and the whole thing looks like it was written for 15 minutes of HN f

How hard is it to put a flat surface on the shopping cart? Why is the cart handle the best place to put the QR code? I am pretty sure the method will come in handy, and the way the solution is presented is awesome though.

My problem with stock photos is, people in them look like robots. Understandable, since they are usually not actors. Many times when they are talking, they don't look at each other but some crap object. When taking 20 variants of a scene, a

You have a point. Let me rephrase it. There are $40 quadcopters which use weak, yet easy to replace parts. More expensive parts and materials are usually easier to work with as well, so for a prototype they are well justified. But for a pro

Could somebody explain why he insists on using bullet proof material to make the body? He could have picked simpler and cheaper components/materials. Is this a common practice for higher end quad-copters?

I also use Session Buddy and Tab Organizer Chrome extensions. OneTab solves 90% of the problem for me though.

If you aren't using it already OneTab is an amazing chrome extension: http://www.one-tab.com/ "Whenever you find yourself with too many tabs, click the OneTab icon to convert all of your tabs into a list. When you need to access the tabs

This is a classical question I ask to children (and I was asked as a child too). It was/is fun, because it is easier to answer if you haven't yet started arithmetic, or if you can manage to step outside the pressure of this new thing that y
