chairmankaga··on The Illusion Machine That Teaches Us How We See
There's a video game titled echochrome that touches on this phenomena. Its puzzle platformer where you have to navigate around obstacles by positioning the camera into various positions until a path forward or the obstacle is obscured by the illusion being projected. Very cool!
chairmankaga··on Black Triangles
That's very true but there's something sexy about working with the actual hardware. Maybe I'm part masochist.

Fun read, I'd always been interested in buying a playstation 1 devkit to tinker but this might push me over the edge :)

chairmankaga··on Performance extensions for D3.js
It does seem to be primarily for quick visualization of common use cases. I was a little disappointed because I've been meaning to do some research in speeding up my d3 visualizations, although this seems really cool none the less.
chairmankaga··on A Big List of D3 Examples
I was able to pick up D3 fairly quickly and I love it. Dashing d3 [1] was a great starting off point, but nothing beats looking through a ton of live examples.

chairmankaga··on Delete any Photo from Facebook by Exploiting Support Dashboard
It seems you can send a crafted URL to request the deletion of images owned by Person A, to Person B. Cutting out any interaction from the original owner.
chairmankaga··on Directed Graph Editor with D3.js
I think he only used the data from WordNet for a personal visualization, it's not integrated with the WordNet program.
chairmankaga··on Directed Graph Editor with D3.js
A decent performance check on D3 using canvas vs svg with up to 400k points. http://trac.osgeo.org/openlayers/wiki/Future/OpenLayersWithC...

chairmankaga··on So what happened to the HN server?
I think they are deadly poisonous Zanzibar hamsters. Genetically engineered from rat and hamster DNA.

How exactly are the files sent? You mentioned using "GCM as a tickle" are you only using it for routing?

How does this distinguish between nodes that are only there to collect the IP's of all other users?
chairmankaga··on New PlayStation 3 Hack May Be One That Sony Can’t Stop
"Q: Can Sony “fix” this like they did for the 3.55 exploit?

A: No. With 3.55 the keys metldr used to verify its dependent modules were recovered. So Sony simply stopped using the now-insecure metldr and started using bootldr (which was still secure) to load.. Sony doesn’t have any more secure modules like bootldr left so like I said in my original post they have no options and cant fix anything; without getting too technical, we now have the keys to every “common” hardware module that is able to decrypt Sony-signed modules. The only thing left are the modules that use per-console keys, which are useless for booting common firmware (which must be decryptable by every PS3)"

chairmankaga··on New PlayStation 3 Hack May Be One That Sony Can’t Stop
I think its important to consider not only piracy but the effects of malicious users in online games. It only takes one person to ruin your experience in a game, even worse if you are cheated and can't do anything about it.

The kotaku story is following in the steps of the older stories and is somewhat inaccurate.

This was a much more interesting read by one of fail0verflows devs Marcan.
