But its so hard! :) my strategy is to have many 3-9 side projects on at any one time, each is really just practice and I judge the concepts based on how often revisit them.

I suppose the fact that this inserts hashes into the Bitcoin Blockchain. makes it entirely different to what ethereum is, that is not to say that something like this could not be implemented using ethereum alone.

b here, well worth a look, buddies list seems to be crashy, but very well designed with minimal features. worth checking out.

I think you need to fix the achievement/completion placeholder images. because had I wanted to share my progress it would have looked silly. and would have cost valuable PR. just saying. looks good though.

I was a little disappointed by the "repl" on the home page, i had to basically type exactly what was asked else it had not idea what to do, not very good for learning.

good job

This looks awesome. I had to stop playing the demo video, to go sign up immediately.

Nice free tier, but the rest looks a bit pricy.

UPDATE: After signing up and creating my first box, I cant find the mac application thats in the demo video to install :(

UPDATE2: I contacted them via chat, and while it isnt reachable by link once logged in, its at https://nitrous.io/mac

Are you thinking of Physijs [0], which is made to work well with ThreeJS? Its a wrapper around Ammojs for ThreeJS.

It does look good and integrates well, but to be honest ThreeJS is so mature and battle tested with multiple renderers (canvas, webgl etc) that when building a physics engine, I really think it would be better to spend ones dev time on the physics and not waste* time reimplementing a portion of ThreeJS.

*Obviously not actually 'wasted' time, hacking is great even just for the sake of it - but I'm sure you know what I mean.

Looks great, thanks for sharing. One thing I would suggest is to not worry about rendering the physics on the canvas, threejs is good at what it does and lacks a good physics engine. It's just my opinion, but I think the project would benefit from either making it work with threejs or by not solving the render problem, and just focus on doing great physics, so that people can use the results in their threejs scenes.

Great work though

I personally like how cucumber tests look exactly like english but it's up to the test writer to explain (through the writing of "step definitions") what each type of phase means (in actual ruby) and then when you combine them you can perform any number of _domain-specific_ tasks. Kinda neat. and a halfway between actually writing a DSL and explaining to the ruby runtime how to interpret a subset of english for this domain.

Zen Writing Mode 13 years ago

I wrote a short blog post [1] on what I found while trying out Github's new zen writing tool. Just using it was enlightening for me if you havn't tried it yet give it a go, or have a look at what I thought of it, then you'll want to give it a go?

  I realised that I wanted to be able to link to this. 
  Not the main github page of my code repository (although I will want to do that too 
  of course) but to this markdown rendered zen mode view of what I want to show them.
  be that code or prose.
Over all I think it's great and have tried to explain my thoughts more fully in the link provided.

[1] https://github.com/christopherdebeer/zen/blob/master/README....

On my Macbook OSX Mountain Lion, it works great and started playing on load (Which didn't happen when i loaded in on iOS but thats to be expected)

One thing that REALLY bugged me was this: The link on each item that reads "View Original Article" just links to the service: SoundGecko - It doesn't link to the original article at all!! - Not even the HN post so the source and the context (HN Comments) is reachable AT ALL!!

Seriously this site is brilliant, BUT what you've done - In my opinion this is unacceptable, at least link to the original article author.

and then linking to the service you're scraping as a courtesy
