A lot of these palettes are ripped straight from colourlovers

Apple Cinema Display ‪23-inch DVI‬ (1920 x 1200) connected through a DVI/DP converter. It doesn't happen when I open the image in photoshop.

This works for me with my first gen 15" Retina. This also happened to me at https://optin.stopwatching.us/, and I assumed it was exploiting some kind of bug with fullscreen for an intentional effect. I am using an external 20" older generation Apple display.

This produces an untrusted site warning in Chrome

Is it really backwards thinking when a security update inhibits your ability to get anything done?

I agree with a lot in this post. It doesn't happen all the time, but if I can I prefer to present without slides at all.

It is a nice looking theme but it has the same problem that Metro has: there isn't anything indicating what is clickable and what is not.

That is Null Island

A bunch of pithy snipes about Apple products. Not sure I understand.

In this case it's a defect, but in general, people operate their Macbook Pros with the lid closed attached to an external monitor.

Palm devices used a stylus and had text input via a special language at the bottom of the screen. How is this remotely related to the Samsung/Apple patent issues at hand?

So I went to make an account and it requires that I link it to a twitter account of facebook account. I didn't want to do that, but now whenever I visit this site I'm forwarded to /setup which is the page prompting me to link an account.

If you think you have a chance at winning a case about patents then not acting would be foolish.

edit: My point is that this IS a conversation about software patents and competition and not whether or not you are I think this is reasonable. If the system is broken and you, as a multi-billion company, don't take that competitive advantage someone else will.

There is a big difference between constructive criticism and vitriolic platform wars that you seem to keep trying to instigate.

Again, how is MS relevant to this discussion?

I didn't write anything about MS.

Being critical is great. Creating workarounds is even better. Being entitled is not so great.

If you want to talk about how Apple is terrible to developers, fine, talk about the App store double-standards and the developer agreement. But this is hardly an exceptional case of a company being 'anti-developer'.

I can't tell you how many bugs I've filed from OS X, chrome, to various python libraries well the response is pretty much "welp its broke" (if that). If you depend on some sort of functionality that you're not getting, it's time to move on or create your own.

The tone of this post reminds me of 'why I'm not developing for twitter' post ... where the take away for that was be weary of developing on platforms you don't control. I would assume that most of us have learned that the hard way with esoteric libraries with ghost-maintainers. Myself, I'm becoming weary of turning every inconvenience into some sort of political issue. This is _hacker_ news. Can we get back to making clever and disruptive solutions please?

I hate to be that guy, but the page's design looks like a bad mishmash of every contemporary trendy framework/web aesthetic.

- the 3 columns at the base of the first page are misaligned

- there is something wrong with the hover on the menu, enterprise, contact us, and pricing all highlight at the same time despite going to different places

- contact us changes the menu on top

- there are an insane amount of ways text is emphasized, from the angular graphic border, ribbons, the {} thing, the round blue button on the enterprise page, soft grey insets, soft blue insets, insets in insets, all-caps, bold, random colors (blue, black, green, red), the checkmarks, the badges, etc.

- the buttons are all different. different border-radius and color on almost every page

- i have no idea what the search bar on top is for

- what is with the clocks? there are 2 on the front page, and the footer provides a clock with a very corny digital font for every other page.

This is all on top of the fact that I have very little idea as to how you actually go from the browser to a hand-written letter.

both smooth scrolling and non smooth scrolling modes are very choppy for me. I think it has something to do with the large CSS3 transforms.

2.8 quad core, os x, chrome 19.0.1084.56

While looking pretty, the demo actually is fairly unoptimized. Each draw loop the vertex buffer is rewritten after iterating over and updating each particle's velocity.

Preserving state directly on the GPU makes it so you can get up into the millions of particles (depending on the videocard of course): http://mikecann.co.uk/projects/HaxeWebGLParticles/

I have to say that I feel like this discussion often gets bogged down by thinking about language semantics and how that may help/hinder learning and development as a programmer.

For most people who want to learn to code they've experienced or seen something that has excited them in some way. This could be anything from a website, an iphone game, an error on their bank statement, or the tessellated feature on the side of a building. Someone who is excited by the visual feedback of a Processing app may not be excited by the simple high-level magic you can do with NLTK, or the funny things that you can do to a webpage in the developer's console.

That said, I've been following Processing since it's early betas and I think it's a fantastic first programming language -- not just because of the mechanics and ease of use -- but the fact that there is a giant community that fosters and encourages exploration in a way that humans can understand.

Your definition of art implies that only things that you respect can be labeled as such.

Since it seems like they are having a computer do the image analysis, background subtraction on the image processing end of things seems like it would yield much better results. Since a turret can only point at one place anyways, they don't necessarily need to pick out a single entity, so aiming at the place of last movement would aim at anything without the need of a red shirt.

I agree with this. The author seems to think that saying you started programming early is some sort of statement about virtuosity, but at least for me, it was more about curiosity.
