I think animals are particularly conducive to getting weird. I tried a picture of a sailboat and it wasn't that weird. Then I tried a picture of a puppy and it sprouted another face on its paw and subtle eyes throughout its fur: http:

Assuming this is JavaScript in a browser, I guess it depends on who you're trying to fool. It sounds like your going for obfuscated or "underhanded" code. Just messing around, here's something you might try. You might co

When two programmers compare preferences, it usually seems like they've reached the same level of fluency by standing on completely different piles of input devices, editors/IDEs, languages, plugins, transpilers, etc. Arguments ab

Yikes! Is this realistic? There seems to be a doctrine that ICBMs will only be launched upon receiving a complete nuclear strike, and once that happens it's pretty much game over. This makes fighter jets a critical buffer because the o

Nice. In 2005 the artist Allan McCollum made software to design 31 billion shapes, with the intention to have at least one shape per person for a long time. Not usable the way identicons are, but the shapes are pleasing. http://e

Heh, maybe that's because the nature of quality is qualitative rather than quantitative. There are things that can be measured that might be correlated to quality ("bugs", sales, support, etc) but ultimately, classical qualit

I'm curious about the finances and the practical aspects of resuscitation. Do you stipulate when you want to be resuscitated and for how much money? Do some people volunteer to be early resuscitation subjects? Is there a discount for t
