Tools aren't a zero sum game, go make your thing ;)

If you're into digital sculpting/painting the killer apps are already out :)

So I've shipped a few small games with clojure and unity. GC does come up, but it's very easy to optimize your tight update functions with Unity's profiler.

As for finding answers, the clojure CLR interop is pretty similar to JVM. I spend most my time looking at the Unity scripting docs.

Pretty mature. There's open issues, but nothing that hinders publishing to desktop and android. If you like clojure and unity I highly recommend it :)

Strongly agree! One of the reasons I'm excited about IPFS is for content addressable code linking. For example, running single js functions through google's closure compiler to normalize the symbols and using a package manager that would recursively replace IPFS links with the code.

Yes the IPFS implementation might change but not the content multihash addressing. Linking to data with those addresses is the generic 'package management' that solves all these problems (references to mutable data at mutable origins, circular dependencies, data caching, namespace conflicts). The specifics of resolving links will hopefully be something we don't think about much.

I've played around with ipfs.js for resolving links into eval'd js at runtime and imagine a npm replacement would be pretty trivial. The IPFS peer to peer swarm seems stable to me but you could also dump all your hash-named files into a s3 bucket or something as a fallback repo.

The code boxes with the ::before and ::after shadows are gorgeous.

I use the web to build applications and very much need to set scroll points and capture key input thank you very much.

Took me a minute to get that this is a mailing list newsletter with a random selection of interesting links from the past week, not a blog post listing things front end developers should know.

Wouldn't mind a web browser with a tiling UI.

You're suggesting people send their html back to the server when they've finished reading it.

I believe it was originally displaying extended ASCII in a nCurses console, and switched to bitmaps with SDL. The majority of the world is still visualized by those character codes and two colors, but entities can be assigned arbitrary sprites http://i.imgur.com/zuMdqbv.jpg

So Guncho interfaces a mud server to inform7 runtimes? I used inform7's function dispatching as the basis for a python MUD engine, fun stuff - https://github.com/selfsame/mud.tilde.town

Fun to note DF is a massive voxel simulation that displays a 2D slice as ascii. There's some neat third party visualizers that can hook into it's memory to show more. http://i.imgur.com/PTj1QpL.jpg

My super hexagon score says otherwise.

At a party I met an artist at residence at MIT who claimed to have a Eukaryote sized hook stepping force up to a man sized fly fishing rod.

But, I think at small scales sound is closer to buffeting (like how water is the consistency of gelatin for microscopic organisms, waves can't propagate)

yes, it is: http://blendernews.org/xe/Feature_Articles/8524

I've been thinking about how to format meta data for my creative files - JSON-LD with my personal @context spec is an interesting idea.

(for Europe and Asia)

I just gave up trying to read a newsweek mobile form article because of this (site kept resetting the scrollpoint to the top of page). If I can't read a text article on my $500 pocket super computer, I'm beyond annoyed.

And I agree, even if your scroll .js works perfectly, the callbacks leave a perceptible pause on most phones.

wow very cool

This one is quite fun: https://clojurecup.com/#/apps/rockets And a shameless plug for my entry: https://clojurecup.com/#/apps/parade-route

As an art handler, I've a theory that they placed thick blankets under the blocks and pulled the blankets. You'd be amazed at what a couple of people can pull with a blanket.

If you don't see yourself playing this game, consider following the dev blog. It's rare for someone to devote themselves to a lifelong project, and Tarn has been going strong for a decade now. The updates are fun, especially his narrative descriptions of glitches in the world.

Is there even data to export? It appears to me the OP would need the bit.ly domain to preserve the links, otherwise he could just scrape all the URLs and find a way to redirect them.

Working on a design & layout app for html. I recently switched to om/react.js and it's been a huge improvement in my workflow. http://i.imgur.com/fvUiUpa.jpg

For me, coffeescript was the answer to the question "How can I write javascript with python-esque whitespace block formating?" I suspect the author was asking something like "what can replace javascript?"

I assumed that was part of the trailer hitch that was being run over.

I'm under the impression that Google's machine learning is already filtering your personal G+ photos for nudity.

Well written article. I wrote a long comment about my views, sat for a bit, re-read the article, then deleted my banter because it wasn't adding anything interesting, but I do want to say these themes have been on my mind lately and I appreciate seeing them discussed so well.
