in fact, razor 1911 is still releasing both demos and warez. I don't know that they have any in the running for the scene awards, but they are getting ranked.

I don't have any problem managing handles on the web without feeling like I am out of my depth. Do you want an explanation of why this matters? https://github.com/blog/1103-ten-yea…

having a low level understanding of program flow can help in many situations. If you are an extremely lucky programmer, you might be able to live your life only in high level langu…

this is an amazing hack. Well done for this guy, and his totally useless project.

you have to email them to remove yourself? Really? It seems like you could have some type of removal thing.

There are a few research systems that do exactly this, and I think that some of them may be coming to the market soon. http://www.modrobotics.com/ is the one that I could find quic…

At my company we just ended up hiring someone, but for our past projects we worked with contractors (in fact, all but one of us was a contractor). There are tons of people out ther…

I don't know about books, but there are some similar single chip computers out there. You may want to take a look at the beagleboard and the beaglebone. I think the difference in b…

If the site doesn't have a helpful explanation, there is a blue lego piece with a question mark on it. I cant remember if there is anything else.

As far as I know, those "edge of space" low cost weather balloon experiments are a long way from putting something in orbit. The cost to put something in orbit is in the 1000s per …

The thing about 32k is that after taxes and overhead, it really isn't that much. That is 3 people working for 3 months. And the fact that this website didn't fall over when half a …

I think that when you write for yourself for that many years, you generate a really strong character. If there is an agency involved, then they have really good writers that unders…

this is the definition of a turing tarpit.

A small point, but something that is really nice. At the end of the form where you enter your email address, the sign up to his mailing list is checked no by default. I switched it…

Comedy is in the ear of the beholder. I have had far more meaningful laughs (whatever the heck that means) at WTF then at comedy bang bang. I would say download both of them, they …

Optical Flow is a method for determining the movement between two or more frames of video. This data is then used for morphing the frames into one another, or moving the underlying…

The last time I was working on one of these, I discovered the phrase http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turing_tarpit Not that these are all a waste of time or anything, you just need to…

I feel like you didn't read my comment. You can share by copying and pasting your code to a pastebin. Does that not apply?

this app also brought out some other options, check out paragraf where you can write glsl pixel code. http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/paragraf/id422685475?mt=8 It is the complete op…

yeah, it is quite a bit roundabout, and it gets tricky when you start organizing your code into separate files. But it is way easier than retyping. That might be a downside for edu…

yeah, thanks for the response. I was not aware of moai, but it looks brilliant. I also love the fact that it is open source. That is the main reason that I am rolling my own rather…

also, it wasn't really scratch that they didn't approve, it was a scratch player. The player downloaded and played scratch programs from the website. This continues to be something…

you might want to take a look at stencyl as well, it isn't for ipad, but it is a pretty fully featured game dev tool that uses the scratch style programming.

yes yes, a thousand times yes. There is some serious misinformation in this thread though. Apple has allow interpreters on the phone for a while, and the remaining restriction is t…
