A stupid nitpick: those download buttons have confused gloss effects.

The stats page pyalot2 links to is his, at http://webglstats.com/ which is great. I'm really looking forward to pointerlock and geometry instancing, which should allow for a lot more complex scenes. No pointerlock has been the bane of my

I think it was a case of a couple useful examples of the new literals as a pattern for developers.

Typically, when working with multiline inputs where return submits the input, option+return inserts a newline.

Do you mean your eye's lens, or an external lens? I think there is some confusion in these child comments over which you mean. At any rate, it seems it projects onto your eye's lens

Gloves would be a '90s throw-back solution when the Google Glass device should be using the camera to detect your finger/hand positions.

What I want to know is how long MS will keep using drive letters with Windows. Drive letters and backslashes for path separators are relics of a bygone age.

It's probably better to just write one's own wrapper for git that best fits you/your company's workflow, especially if it's for your company, since you can better justify the time spent writing the wrapper code. As a point of reference, th

The only problem I have with AppleScript is its verbosity, but it seems to do what it's meant to do well (script the Apple GUI)

Other: LSL aka Linden Scriping Language, the scripting language used in Second Life It would take me too long to detail all the reasons it sucks. I can't count the number of times I've cursed it.

Unsurprising. Linden Lab's support system is notoriously awful (and political).

Well now that you have a compiler you can rewrite it in clojure-py to make clojure-py-in-clojure-py :)

That's funny, a friend of mine just made the same decision last night: she ended up getting the MBP while the in-machine burner is still available. The next MBP design is alleged to have that eliminated. I have a 2009 MBP (17", personal) a

iPad already does that (off by default): four-finger swipe up shows the list of apps, and four-finger swipe left or right takes you to other apps. Edit: and I think four-finger pinch takes you back to the home screen. The only real use for

I found this article [1] that makes the argument that JS doesn't need a bytecode format, and sorta-but-not-really comes to the conclusion that a compact AST format would be a better choice as an intermediate, and mentions JSZap [2] (which i

That sounds pretty identical to my upbringing, and I feel I'm the better and more level-headed for it. However, I've never met anyone who thought it must have been emotionally scarring - I can't comprehend people who would think that teach

Well, some of that is happening already. As people become educated about healthy eating, they investigate the ingredients lists more for what they're buying (becoming more health-conscious), and rejecting bad foods - letting their money do

Maybe processed food producers should stop adding sugar/HFCS to everything under the sun. An example list: http://www.accidentalhedonist.com/index.php/2005/06/09/foods... Does HFCS REALLY need to be in NyQuil? In steak sauce? In vege

This has been on HN several times before, but I up-voted because its more well-organized compared to the fanfiction.net page, and more so because there's now a podcast that has 31 chapters read so far - excellent work!

Wow, a guy admitted that he doesn't know if he wants to use modern technology, yet he's expected to make an informed decision about this. We're pretty fucked. I rage-quit watching the video after about 2 minutes.

It's funny that they mention BeOS because I think it had a nice solution to keyboard app switching: Alt-tab switched programs (it had the same Mac-like app-centric design), and it looked somewhat like the traditional Windows. With Alt stil

Very well done. Their signal processing might not be 100%, but it's probably more likely my fault for playing it with my unplugged electric guitar :) It's fun and seems like a gentle way to get new players to learn. Users can replay level
