I’ve commented about this book here before. It’s very useful across multiple disciplines. What drew me to it was video game level-design. There’s a section on how churches and temp…

Odd that the music only kicks in for me after I tab away. When I tab back, the music stops.

> More ugly wire-frame skeleton design compared to it's original counterpart. Where is the call to interact with any of these elements? Where is the hierarchy? Is it just me that f…

The first time I learned about dynamic loading was while watching an episode of Casey Muratori's Handmade Hero - a series where he builds a video game, in C, from scratch. He compi…

I also own a hard copy of this one and know nothing about architecture. I've found the patterns helpful for video game level design. Whether it's the layout of a small town, window…

This is my experience as well so far. It took 15-20 minutes to learn about it, install it, and setup configs. Since then I haven't had to think about it once.

I never understood the appeal until I started watching Handmade Hero( https://handmadehero.org/ ). I had always wanted to learn about C, but if you don't have an idea of your own, …

I'm looking forward to playing around with this. Vim is my editor of choice, and it would be nice to configure/extend it in something other than vimscript. Gives me a good reason t…

Are the pins sent by email via an SMS gateway? If so, why not just let people sign up with their email address? I'd like to join in on the fun, but not with my personal phone numbe…

I don't know if this went into the decision making process, but with the cursor at an angle the OS can use the x,y coordinates of the cursor to find it's target, instead of having …

I've had problems with un-bundling all ready. I've had Comcast for almost two years now - the top internet service for 19.99/mo. Of course they tried to raise the price on me once …

I know this is off-topic, but I really liked this site's page title banner interaction. I haven't seen anything like it before!

I made a tool a year ago to do the same thing, Metis: https://github.com/srcoley/metis I like a solution that goes where ever your dotfiles go, instead of having to install a fuzzy…

Don't most patrol cars have laptops in them? Laptops that I usually see open and turned on, while the officer is driving? I don't care what kind of special training you have, a veh…

Before it happened, you remembered looking at your stomach. There was a twitch. An itch? Maybe a pain. You're not sure, but it grabs your attention. Next, your hands and feet are s…

"They are not looking at people’s names, and they’re not looking at content. But by sifting through this so-called metadata, they may identify potential leads with respect to folks…

If it's simply that, then why restrict it to students, instead of by age? Most people under the age of 21 are broke, young, and impressionable. I feel very good about the fact that…

I see it more of an argument of definition. Students - People who pay to have information presented to them in a nice and comprehensible manner. Not Students - People who scour the…

I'm a student of the Internet. I learn on it every day of my life. I'm guessing I don't count though because I'm not affiliated with a corporation that cares more about charging my…

> If we spent the last thirty years inspired by what we saw in Star Trek, what’s going to inspire us for the next thirty? I think video games, AAA and indie titles alike have got t…

I really enjoy EVE's sandbox. It's a great game to lose yourself in. The developers release expansions regularly and really listen to their player's feedback. One thing I find inte…

I used expect a while back to write a small bash script that logs into my server via ssh and pulls the latest commit from Github. I have this set to run on an Alfred command 'deplo…
