I don't think so. But this stuff is always in flux. I see irony as constructive - it intends to produce something. In the case of the author, writing from an ironic perspective was…

Thanks again for writing this. You're writing about a feeling that I've experienced and can relate to, and I thought the piece was excellent. Great job.

Maybe I misunderstood this because of what books I have been reading lately, but I really enjoyed reading this piece as a piece of irony. Apparently the word irony, pre-14th centur…

I was really thinking about mobile in terms of hw acceleration and risks/benefits. See comments below. Don't disagree that WebGL is faster at times, and more useful, just still a b…

Yeah sorry I was actually replying with a mobile centric view in mind. If you want to build something that "just works", it's better to strip down the geometry as much as possible …

If you just want to draw images into a canvas I don't see any benefits to using WebGL. You just lose cross browser compatibility. Most browsers have hardware accelerated rendering …

Is there anywhere you detail your methods? I'm currently finishing up an appearance based hand detection method for a class and would be interested to read about your methods.

I respectfully disagree with your use of low level, though I do understand your analogy about the pixelbuffer being like a frame buffer. But he's actually using Javascript arrays w…

They also see that their product is an app store, and it is going to get eaten up in the next few years as desktop and mobile OSes converge around security models that will not let…

Well, I'll try to keep my point simple. Our constant need to complain is corrosive. Visionary thinkers shaped our society for the next generation. I didn't enjoy reading this since…

I agree with your assertions, and I'd like to bring a bit of rationale to this discussion rather than the "How can Apple be allowed to do this?" and other flamboyant language. This…

This is common, it's somewhat frustrating, but I've found that my way to deal with it has been to let others pad their credentials. It's a waste of time for me to worry about, it w…

Can someone explain to me what this is (or was since it is no longer listed)?

This is an appropriate place as any. WE have an ambitious start up idea to launch loaves of bread into space so that they will re-enter as toast, perfectly cooked to perfection and…

This article goes along with, "What you could do if you were Apple and had their cash", and other greats like, "What you could do if you were a genie". Just saying.

Leslie sharpe is an ethnographer who wrote a whole book on organ donation after studying the topic called Strange Harvest. This article speaks to a lot of unnecessary and selfish c…

Ah I see, I was tremendously confused by the site. The site itself does not actually explain any of this, and I am not a user who actively follows this stuff. So when I clicked on …

This site does nothing to tell me what these frameworks actually do. Or where I would want to fit them into a project.

I find this absolutely startling: "It’s well known that many college students use Adderall to give themselves an extra edge for getting work done whether they’re prescribed or not …

Agree on the no controversy. I went looking to make a chat icon for a project about a week ago, and looked on dribbble to see some ideas before I started. Chat icons all looked the…

Dang. Finish weekend is on the start of spring break for students. I would love to go but I am leaving town, at least for a few days.
