   They seem to go out of their way to make their designs available to the general public too which is something that wasn't common before.

   sounds like a commercial and i find these sponsored studies suspicious but I didn't know about the site before and it looks interesting.

   I hope "weekend project" is just a thing people say these days and this really took longer than a weekend, or I wish I could create something this awesome in a few days :/

   would you consider making an rss feed or would that defeat the purpose?

   any theories on why they were rejected? it does seem a bit arbitrary like they didn't bother to read any of their justification.

   i'm not sure if there is something similar for ruby but have you checked out nltk? http://nltk.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/doc/book/ch06.html

   I think as soon as this gets on apple's radar it will be removed from the app store. Applications have been removed for less, sorry.

    Second that, it looks like maybe a cool gimmick for a personal site or small project but you are crazy if you would use it for anything important. Not to say the slick front-end wouldn't be useful, you should release the source code.

    Maybe Gen Y are not the best consumers right now because they are over their head in student debt and the economy sucks :(

    Not sure what meaningful conclusions you can draw from this. In my experience what makes a post popular is something like 50% content, 25% title and 25% timing. That's a lot of variance, I imagine with different wording and/or timing of th

    My first reaction to this is why.. why would anyone want something like this. If you are smart enough to use one of these things it seems likely that you have a smart phone. Maybe it's hipster appeal? shrug I don't get it but if this pro

    YEah true, though I wonder in the new world of self-driving cars whether some incentives for motorcyle driving will go away.. that and I imagine a decent tranche of motorcyle accidents are caused by cars.

    Without car accidents i bet the supply of organs will decrease dramatically, I wonder (in theory) if it might be enough to push them to sell on the free market. Another thing it will due is drastically reduce the need for state police, I as

    I would state more explicitly that these letters are hand-written by a human, not using a hand-written font or hand written samples. i think there is a lot of gray area when something is claimed to be "hand written" and i would want to be s

    The people that will find this most useful are probably the same people who won't want to give you read/write access to their repos.

    I feel like this could be a great thing but the way it's presented doesn't convince me that it is. Is the gtar an instrument for making music or is it something to help you learn to play a real guitar. If it's the latter then how does it

    Hm, since when is "duende" not an english word? I'm pretty sure we borrowed that one and it's not that uncommon. The dictionary definition that I'm aware of differs slightly from the definition given though the spirit of the word is simi

    The skills to get a degree do not always translate to the skills necessary to hold down a high paying or prestigious job. It's possible though you can't tell from the article that he is content doing the stuff that he is doing and doesn't w

    I just made an update to improve the tolerance for RI and DE, let me know if it is better now.
27. 267.▲
    by zoidb 14y ago

    yeah but that's cheating :) I just made a change to make the tolerance greater for RI and DE, I hope that helps. If there are other states that are difficult let me know, unfortunately I don't have a tablet to test on :/

    Thanks for the feedback, I guess ill add an option to turn off rotation (maybe for a point penalty)

    by zoidb 14y ago

    Hm, clicking should work during the rotation. (or it seems to work for me on chrome and firefox) What browser/version are you using? Yeah the east coast states are difficult, maybe I should try making zoom box larger.

    Thanks! Yeah I have problems too, especially on a touchscreen :/ I tried to blow up the east coast states but RI is still too small.. maybe I need to try to magnify it more by itself or something
