SEEKING WORK - Remote (American residing in Berlin) JS/Python/C++ guy. Well versed in d3.js. Have spent past two years doing vertical feature development, focusing on front end, in…

The free ride area also had major consequences for outbound buses during peak hours. If a bus started in downtown and went elsewhere, riders had to pay as they left the bus. Seattl…

A little late, but I think I fixed this. Working for me now in 17.0/Windows 7

This is one of the main reasons I'm writing these tutorials - small multiples (nested selections) in D3 are explained very poorly in the official docs, and are a constant stumbling…

Author here. I've updated my post to include some words on the current Android games market and how none of it maps to the Ouya. Simply, a game written for a 4.5" diagonal phone sc…

Another thing, related but not frequently discussed, is the change in how important gear is vs. other factors. For instance, in Diablo II a high level item would give +20 vitality.…

I stand corrected, and should have checked Craigslist before posting. It is astounding how much rents have gone up recently. The neighborhoods I had in minde were Lower Haight (5 m…

I would much rather ride a Seattle bus than a SF bus, but the likelihood of finding a bus that goes from A to B (without a transfer) is much higher in SF than in Seattle. This is p…

It isn't quite a barley wine, at least it doesn't taste like any barley wine I've had before. It has some hints of mead, but the grape is what makes it different. If you live in th…

Descent came out over a year before Quake and was full 3D (except the annoying hostage sprites). It may have taken advantage of being set in a mine to have twisty passages that obs…

Fun that I can recognize you based on your user name, but you probably can't do the same matching for me (its Mikey). You were actually one of the people I was thinking of when I o…

My observations as a (somewhat) recent graduate from UW CSE: Many of the students that wanted to go into startups after graduation instead of a job either had started on some produ…

Their brand is that they manufacture the best gaming PCs in the world. But if one only pays attention to branding and not realities, you end up thinking Chevy's are indestructible …

Careful there; you've gone from a fact about yourself to a generalization of everyone in a group. Down that road lies fallacy.

There was, for a short while, an almost-NY-syle bagel (and definitely the best in the bay) at Roland's. However, he had landlord disputes, and then another dispute with his busines…

There are major slowdowns when running the game in DX10/11 mode on some hardware, especially when scrolling the game map. It is likely that you saw this - when I run it in DX9, it …

Vim define a macro (stored in q because it is easiest, but to change the name replace the second q with any letter): qq q Emacs define a macro: C-x ( C-x ) Vim do that macro again …

I lived near there - at Clayton and Ashbury - for a year. Not once did I see any homeless people. There is no way of getting up to that location without hitting at least a block of…

Yes and no. If a library assumes a lambda is easy, you will see a lot of code like this (using somewhat bastardized OCaml types): interface 'a collection { void sort(lt:'a -> 'a ->…
