I wonder where it comes from. I would guess that it's a few small works like software and games, and then a lot of high-res digital transfers of films, scans of 2-D work, and photos of sculptures and installations.

Neat. I've also used an in-memory SQLite db for testing ActiveRecord models. Also, the same list if uses can be applied to nedb as a lightweight alternative to MongoDB.

I thought the reason Betamax didn't succeed was that Sony required deals to release things on their format, and it turned out a lot of people wanted videocassettes for porn? (Same general idea though.)

Wald's unique insight was that the holes from flak and bullets on the bombers that did return represented the areas where they were able to take damage. The data showed that there were similar patches on each returning bomber where the

It depends on where you're coming from, but for lots of people who want to make something, there's probably some kind of tutorial or library with examples that puts it in reach. Pair that with the fact that JavaScript as a languag

Hopefully! Otherwise the energy needs will be met with fossil fuels that exacerbate climate problems that desalination is trying to be a solution for.

Forgive me for being vague and brief, but I've been trying to test my UIs for the last year or so and this is what I've come up with. I've found the ideas in Gary Bernhardt's talk, Boundaries (1), to be very helpful in f

I'm also wondering why not skip all the protocols and put a clock on the robot? Either way, cool project!

I believe it works both ways. If you're a small upstart company with novel tech and BIGCO gets you on the ropes with claims of patent infringement, you can buy protection from IV and in turn they'll provide you with patents from t

Absolutely. I have had the pleasure of being the junior person sitting next to someone who was close to retirement. His perspective of, "Ok, what are we really trying to do here?" was invaluable. The best teams are always genuinel

Yeah. That situation might not be as unique as you think, though. Projects get cancelled all the time, but that's orthogonal to getting paid for things you've done. With any new client, I'm not totally relaxed until I've

I find that the best way to avoid these sorts of problems is to not allow unpaid work to stack up. Get into the shortest loops that your client can agree to, collect money regularly, and be prepared to stop work if not paid. I think there&#

Is this is the same idea as "bootstrap data"? E.g. just a script tag that you fill with some JSON and render along with the page, and then your MVC JavaScript dancing monkey absorbs that data and renders before calling APIs?
