Thanks for trying it out. I'll investigate.

Thanks for the feedback. Are you using mobile Safari? Can you try changing the pressure sensitivity slider to 0 percent? It might be an issue with wrong pressure detection. I've had to write some custom code for the native iOS version to fix it but hadn't really tested in the browser.

Recently made a difficult word game for personal use, as a side project. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.woodenclos...

It looks like you should be able to fit two baskets under the seat. The question remains whether it would interfere with your riding or reduce ground clearance too much. Using larger wheels could help.

Not affiliated in any way --- I was just wondering whether a direct-drive bicycle with gears was practical, and found this.

This is awesome, and I'm a bit surprised at the lack of more "dynamic" painting software in general (i.e where the paint keeps changing over time, affected by gravity, etc). I've made my own attempt at this[1] although my actual simulation code is quite primitive.

There's a 5,000 human player experimental event happening tomorrow [1]. As a participant in a previous invite-only event, I can assure you that it works very well.

Disclaimer: I work under the same company as the developers of this tech (although I am not involved in this product). My opinions are entirely my own.

This is cool. I once made an app in the same vein [1]. I think that generative/immersive art software has a lot of potential. A large part of making art is enjoying the process, whereas most digital art software is about getting results efficiently.

In a hypothetical future where all city vehicles are electric, tire noise would be much more noticeable (whereas now it is drowning in engine noise).

In the last example's "for" loop, a Set would probably be clearer and more efficient than a List for gathering distinct elements, at least for large data sets. I haven't tried the functional Java yet, but I wonder if using Collectors.toSet() and skipping the distinct() stage would be better?

Thanks for the feedback! If the hard level is pretty hard, wouldn't adding more operations make it even harder? I kept the number range small because I felt it would be too hard to do mentally otherwise, but I'm definitely open to extending it. The idea was novel for me but I was quite certain it has been done before in one way or another.

I actually made a mental math game for Android not long ago. The concept is different though - it's about choosing the operations to reach a target number. I would appreciate any feedback!

Reminds me of the augmented reality sandbox [1] I've played with at a museum [2] and which was really cool.

As a fellow game developer, I have to agree. I find that inheritance is a form of abstraction which sounds nice on paper and may work well within some domains, but in large and diverse code bases (like in games), it makes code harder to reason about and harder to safely modify (e.g. changing a base class can have a lot of subtle effects on subclasses that are hard to detect). The same goes for operator overloading, implicit constructors... Basically almost anything implicit that is done by the compiler for you and isn't immediately obvious from reading the code.

I think it's a matter of scale: The cubes are set to be quite large in size, and so the camera is quite far from them and things seem to be moving slowly. Think about a pile of large crates VS a pile of wooden toy blocks.

I'm not so sure about the utility of this in my case. I usually end up using python for scripts, with perhaps a one line batch file that runs it with some default arguments for convenience.

Actually, that was my first thought - that the ISPs could pay royalties to websites, but that reminded me too much of cable companies -- too centralized. But who knows, this may actually happen with wireless internet providers offering unlimited Facebook bundles and the like...

I would definitely be more inclined to pay a single entity and get a "bundle" than make individual purchasing decisions. But you're right, it is all dependent on the content that would be offered. Something like this would probably need a big upfront investment to get going...

I've just thought of a crazy idea: what if there was a subscription service, like Netflix for websites, where you'd pay a fixed monthly amount and get unlimited access to premium websites / webapps, with guaranteed privacy and no advertising? The said service would then pay royalties to the participating websites, depending on the usage.

I've been using OSM for some time for offline navigation on my tablet but never made an edit, because I thought it would be difficult to do. After reading your comment, I signed up and marked my street one-way (which it wasn't on OSM). It was so easy - thank you!

Thanks. I'm actually working on a programming game, light-bot style. I don't have any specific math idea right now, but I'd love to make another one.

That's a good idea. I'll think where I can add this without having people press it by mistake and getting lost. About the search, that's an unfortunate part of the play store discovery problem. They prioritize ratings/downloads over keywords...

I worked on this game alone for about a month. As a programmer by trade, the design, art and sound effects took most of my time :)

- Programmed in Java, using libgdx as the engine

- Sound effects made with sfxr

- Art made with Gimp and Inkscape

Very nice! It took me roughly 2 minutes to upload the sample photos I had on my dropbox account, and link between them like a little game. Very intuitive interface.

App looks nice (can't check it out, no iDevice). I like the simplicity of it. Do you plan on adding any vision capabilities, like auto-detecting rectangles as candidates for buttons, circles as candidates for radio buttons, etc? I can also see you app used to make quick&funny games, which you can send your friends. Think taking a picture of a street, with a bar door as a button, and then taking a picture inside, making the bartender a button, then a picture of the drink, etc...

I've made this mistake quite a few times coming from Hebrew, where the currency symbol (₪) is written after the number (it is to the left, but the direction of writing is right-to-left). It is possible that the people who wrote this are used to putting the currency symbol after the number, and especially since it's inconsistent it is probably a mistake.

I have noticed that people oftentimes downvote because of disagreement, even when the comment seems to be okay (to my eyes at least). How about eliminating the downvote, leaving only the "flag" which makes it clearer that it should not be used for disagreement? It would also make comments more consistent with top-level stories (which I sometimes think of as "root-level comments".)

When I went to Finland, where tipping is forbidden by law, the service we got was on par with the service in other countries - minus some faked flirting, maybe, which is not a loss in my opinion. I think that a system without tips will need time to adjust, so that other mechanisms will be put into place to encourage good service, like bonuses for good waiters, where "good" could be measured with voluntary feedback from customers, via a short questionnaire you get with the bill, for example.
