So cool. Thanks for sharing the source! A few years back I made a p5.js ASCII Cloud sketch using the extended ASCII block chars. For those curious what a stripped-down version of n…

If you're interested in working with graphics or sounds, I'd recommend checking out openFrameworks, which bills itself as a "creative coding toolkit". https://openframeworks.cc For…

As a programming instructor the Eve demo video gave me goosebumps. The emphasis on prose+code, world=data, and the discoverability afforded by the inspector are of particular inter…

The passwords are decrypted locally on your machine using javascript not on the lastpass servers.

My understanding is that even with their web login process your password isn't sent to their servers in plaintext. From the comments on their heartbleed blog post: "We only use one…

Impressive. I've been using Tumblr in a similar way, with my self-hosted blog as the "host network". I'll download the app and play around. Any plans for a web-based posting tool?

I recommend checking out the Photoswipe source. It uses many of these techniques to create a swipe-based image gallery optimized for iOS and Android. https://github.com/codecompute…

A quick look at the MobiRuby example code worries me. It looks like Objective-C, but awkwardly written using Ruby syntax. In other words, it looks more like an Objective-C wrapper,…

Like some others have said, the Turing Test is more a human mimicry test than a test of intelligence or consciousness. We humans love to anthropomorphize, so tricking us into belie…

Many smartphone users are prevented from upgrading their firmware/OS. So even if the device lifecycles are shorter, developers cannot ignore legacy devices. If we look at the curre…

True enough, it will get better. Old mobile browsers will be to html5 games what IE6 was to web devs.

A continuation of #7: I've seen ad-supported apps targeted to children that include kid-inappropriate ads. I had a 7 year old recently ask me about dieting and weight-loss strategi…

"So what's in common with these two games? They're both originally mobile games." (Emphasis mine.) The sad part is that once converted to HTML5 these games won't be able to run on …

In late 2003 I was laid off from my job as a hardware/firmware design engineer. I spent the next two years away from work. During this time I spent nearly a year on self-study, got…
