This post triggered a wave of bittersweet remembrance: when Watsi was announced I signed up and was genuinely excited for what I thought a well-positioned incubator like YC could a…

This post finally got me to dig back up the ultimate word trivia website, valiantly hosted on Tripod and still maintained: https://jeff560.tripod.com/words1.html

I remember doing this as a CSS copy-protection joke back in 2013. [1] Seems like a similarly petty thing for a company like FB to try and like many have said an extremely low-level…

Reading your parent comment and the replies has me kind of dumbfounded at the wasted potential. Did they ever address these ideas directly? Would opening up the format in even the …

Anyone remotely interested in this idea should check out Stanislaw Lem's His Master's Voice [1], which is an entire (short) novel about how and why an extraterrestrial message woul…

I think this might be something that Netflix is overlooking. The community-like aspect of watching something simultaneously with the rest of the word is extremely powerful. The Twi…

Not really versioning, but Ormr [1] is built around completely non-destructive editing with history baked into each project. Still in beta but worth a look. [1] https://www.getormr…

The strangest part is that they don't even show the bulge in the product renders on the site: http://images.apple.com/iphone-6/overview/images/design_deta... It's as if they're in …

Almost 11% in 2011 [1], about the same as it is today. 1. http://www.reuters.com/article/2011/08/16/us-walmart-idUSTRE...

I'm sorry, but I have to challenge such a broad statement. The classification of literature is an awful game but Dune is hardly a default candidate for serious study, and I feel a …

Nice work! Here's another solution posted in an earlier thread: javascript:d=document.createElement("div");d.innerHTML=" span:nth-child(odd) {display:none;} ";document.body.appendC…

Thanks! Yeah, there are many JS ways around this, but it would be more than enough to stop most people... including myself in most cases.

Cool, I love counterintuitive (and even counterproductive) solutions just for their own sake. I tried to do a similar thing with text a while ago: http://nbush.github.io/headache/

If you want to take the effect to its hilarious conclusion, you can even do depth of field using SVG filters: http://nbush.github.io/depth/

Microsoft Research took the ambient background idea a little further with some cool IllumiRoom demos. [0] [0] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L2w-XqW7bF4

The examples became more and more complex while the code remained evolutionary and understandable. Amazing work and a huge resource for canvas drawing and those unfamiliar with jav…

To be honest, I'm most impressed by the directional lighting simulation in the header. Any hints on how it was done? Mouse position and image opacity?

Nice! That's probably the easiest way. I guess you could scatter the spans a bit more randomly, but I couldn't find a way around JS completely.
