    Here's a good take on why we share cats on the internet, including brain-control, by pbs' idea channel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NJ_6aRjYR0w

    Yes! The guy that made Max eventually made PureData (which is in the list). It's an awesome environment. Max (General) with MSP (Audio) and Jitter (Video) can do a lot of stuff, ev…

    It's weird that I see many people complaining about tables because of pairs/ipairs or trivial stuff like that, which are more nuisances than anything. The flexibility of tables/met…

    Updated with a JSPerf: http://jsperf.com/thulium-vs-underscore-and-ejs ... Tm runs faster in chrome/node... Underscore wins in firefox. So we'll need to get to work in optimizing s…

    I'll try to do a /proper/ benchmark (Different cases, different types of templates, and such). Because the tests were with a simple template that had all the shared features. When …

    Kind of an aside, but still relevant to part of your post. Whining about the content and whining about the meta whining is part of any sufficiently old community. I can recall from…

    Or, the ranking algorithm was previously designed for this not to have an impact, and as real-world usage showed abuse, they changed it. Repeat this cycle until now. So the techniq…
