Thanks for the feedback. I will plan to add an about section to the website so people know who made it.

Hi! I made ArcBrush. Never heard of Plasma Studio, and other than being node-based, I don't even see the similarity if I'm being honest.

I made it and I've talked about it publicly. It's not really that sketchy.

when whistleblowers start dying in not strictly organic ways the media tends to come down pretty hard on behavior like that

You are doing the devil's work.

Looks better than his current site, IMHO.

Yes, the bottom line is that Netflix is sending you code executed on your own machine. You, as the user, should have full access to inspect the executed code. Obfuscated or minified code should only be used as a bandwidth saving device, and not to hide the true functionality from the user. If the browser is seeing it, why can't the user?

Disabling a feature of the user's browser is absolutely absurd. If you want to hide from the user whats going on then that code needs to run on the server.

Can you imagine opening an image in Photoshop and because of some flag half the tools disappear? Yeah, me either, and images don't even run code.

> I found it readable and straightforward. There's a bit to it, but eh, good enough to work through if I inspect elements etc.

I meant more from a performance perspective. It might not be hard to sift through to make a theme, but it seems like a lot of overhead for the core to continually process all that data.

> Package hell is true for anything is it not?

I guess so. Curation is always an option. But even just from a settings perspective, they are just all listed alphabetically in the prefs panel. I'm not sure what the solution is, but a stock install already has too many packages to manage.

I'd love to see a site just like this, but cataloging all the best Unix console tools.

It sounds ridiculous, but you can tell a lot about a console program from a screenshot.

Anyone who has ever looked at the DOM structure of an in-browser code editor (CodeMirror, Ace) knows that they are extremely nasty. So much overhead. The markup characters outnumber the content by like 50x. While the speed of Atom is much better than I expected, it just doesn't feel native enough. I still feel like I'm using an in-browser editor.

Maybe Sublime has spoiled me, but that editor is pretty fast. It can open large files. It's almost as extensible, especially for any kind of practical purpose. Oh and it's cross-platform, which Atom is not at the moment.

I also can already see a time when we reach Atom package hell. Someone is going to have to come up with a system to manage all these packages pretty quick. When you are literally installing packages to add a single hot-key, and all packages are treated as equals, it quickly becomes very difficult to find what you are looking for to manage your install.

I'm excited and optimistic to see where Atom will go, but my thoughts before I tried it are only reinforced after a few days of use. GitHub does not mess around. I know they will fix most of my concerns pretty quick, but I'm not sure how much more can be done about performance.

This transaction is where everything went wrong. I think after the shutdown they tried to start paying out the largest investors manually and missed a decimal place:

1 BTC In and 10 BTC back https://blockchain.info/address/1CeGvbrAuLJYyKxX7T2KD3358dWo...

Someone made 10x their money.

The above comment is really harsh, discouraging, and rude. But I agree with most of it.

I don't think you should brag about how little time you spent on anything. Nor should it be used as an excuse for a half-baked product.

There is a nugget of a good idea in there somewhere. I think it might be worth another 10 hours to really find the goodness here and then spend the time to build something people will actually love.

I have a bachelors degree in Motion Graphic Design. I dropped out of studying Computer Science at a university after the first year.

I am a lifelong programmer, since I was 8 years old. My high school had an amazing 4 year computer science program that totally spoiled me. When I got to a university it was so slow, and everything seemed outdated. Having to relearn all of it in an inferior way was excruciating.

I dropped out, worked for a few years in an unrelated field, and then decided to go back and study Motion Graphic Design, since I had a passion for it, and it seemed like something I could actually learn new information about.

I love what I do now. I work as a programmer, for the most part, at a design studio. I get a taste of the design and film production that I'm so passionate about, while also getting to program.

Even though I love what I do, not a day goes by that I don't regret quitting my CS education. If for nothing else just so that companies that are obsessed with credentials, like Google, would consider me.

Another after 1989 is Carnage Heart for PS1. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carnage_Heart

The complexity of it was mind-boggling, especially for a console game. The instruction manual was hundreds of pages.

Why a Python API, but JS debugging logic? Maybe I'm missing something.

If you're looking for an alternative thats much more versatile and less opinionated I would recommend Sails.js http://sailsjs.org/ which is basically Rails for JS based on Express.

PIVOT is an avant-garde psychedelic exploration of balance and reflection.

Best experienced loudly with headphones or speakers.

I totally agree that in Computer Science there are established paradigms, but I think sometimes these paradigms keep people from exploring different ways of thinking.

Talking specifically about TermKit: If I'm on a Mac using Terminal to access the local shell, why would I care if the features are coming from the shell itself or the Terminal app?

Of course it would be 'better' or more 'proper' if all the functions were built into the shell, but like you say, it takes widespread adoption. I don't see what the problem is with starting to add features to your terminal and then let the good ones trickle back down into the shell as they become widely adopted.

Seems like a confusing nightmare, but I'm not fundamentally against it.

Poor Steven. He took so much heat then, for a concept that was way ahead of its time.

These kinds of extra-helpful term emulators seem like the natural progression of auto-completion and all the other goodies people love about oh-my-zsh. Once someone gets this right, it will seem silly to use a 'dumb' terminal in a graphical environment.

Perfect. Thank you.

RethinkDB vs. MongoDB? They seem comparable. What is the big picture difference?

Sorry about that. I wasn't anticipating so much traffic. It should be back and stronger than ever.

I'm in the process of producing a breakdown video that will give some insight into the process. The software used for line drawing and rendering was Houdini by Side Effects Software.

From concept to completion, about 3 weeks.

This seems unreasonably expensive. Each contributor gets charged 4% plus $0.99. This makes it very expensive to split a restaurant lunch bill.

8 people chipping in on a $100 check: Even split would be $12.50 per person. With this service it would be $14.00 per person. That's a 12% tax on lunch for everyone but the initiator.

This might be useful for bigger purchases, but even then, charging 4% to give money to my friend seems a little ridiculous.

Make sure your neighbors aren't complete human trash.
