    Thanks for trying it out. I'll investigate.

    Thanks for the feedback. Are you using mobile Safari? Can you try changing the pressure sensitivity slider to 0 percent? It might be an issue with wrong pressure detection. I've ha…

    Show HN: SuperPaint – a fluid simulation painting app

    I built this using Compose Multiplatform, with a C++ backend for the fluid simulation and rendering. Any feedback is welcome!

    Recently made a difficult word game for personal use, as a side project. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.woodenclos...

    It looks like you should be able to fit two baskets under the seat. The question remains whether it would interfere with your riding or reduce ground clearance too much. Using larg…

    Not affiliated in any way --- I was just wondering whether a direct-drive bicycle with gears was practical, and found this.

    This is awesome, and I'm a bit surprised at the lack of more "dynamic" painting software in general (i.e where the paint keeps changing over time, affected by gravity, etc). I've m…

    There's a 5,000 human player experimental event happening tomorrow [1]. As a participant in a previous invite-only event, I can assure you that it works very well. Disclaimer: I wo…

    This is cool. I once made an app in the same vein [1]. I think that generative/immersive art software has a lot of potential. A large part of making art is enjoying the process, wh…

    In a hypothetical future where all city vehicles are electric, tire noise would be much more noticeable (whereas now it is drowning in engine noise).

    In the last example's "for" loop, a Set would probably be clearer and more efficient than a List for gathering distinct elements, at least for large data sets. I haven't tried the …

    Thanks for the feedback! If the hard level is pretty hard, wouldn't adding more operations make it even harder? I kept the number range small because I felt it would be too hard to…

    I actually made a mental math game for Android not long ago. The concept is different though - it's about choosing the operations to reach a target number. I would appreciate any f…

    Reminds me of the augmented reality sandbox [1] I've played with at a museum [2] and which was really cool. [1] http://idav.ucdavis.edu/~okreylos/ResDev/SARndbox/ [2] https://natur…

    As a fellow game developer, I have to agree. I find that inheritance is a form of abstraction which sounds nice on paper and may work well within some domains, but in large and div…

    I think it's a matter of scale: The cubes are set to be quite large in size, and so the camera is quite far from them and things seem to be moving slowly. Think about a pile of lar…

    I'm not so sure about the utility of this in my case. I usually end up using python for scripts, with perhaps a one line batch file that runs it with some default arguments for con…

    Actually, that was my first thought - that the ISPs could pay royalties to websites, but that reminded me too much of cable companies -- too centralized. But who knows, this may ac…

    I would definitely be more inclined to pay a single entity and get a "bundle" than make individual purchasing decisions. But you're right, it is all dependent on the content that w…

    I've just thought of a crazy idea: what if there was a subscription service, like Netflix for websites, where you'd pay a fixed monthly amount and get unlimited access to premium w…

    I've been using OSM for some time for offline navigation on my tablet but never made an edit, because I thought it would be difficult to do. After reading your comment, I signed up…

    Thanks. I'm actually working on a programming game, light-bot style. I don't have any specific math idea right now, but I'd love to make another one.

    That's a good idea. I'll think where I can add this without having people press it by mistake and getting lost. About the search, that's an unfortunate part of the play store disco…
