You know what, I searched google.

About the best I could find when it comes to type 1 diabetes was someone saying that a plant based diet had helped reduce the volatility of their blood sugar levels. No mention of no longer needing insulin, or their pancreas magically repairing itself. Nothing that would make the device in the OP substantially less helpful.

This is all hardly a surprise, because plant-based diets tend to be low in refined carbohydrates, large quantities of which make diabetes harder to manage. People have achieved similar effects eating lots of other diets that aren't too high in carb (and this is, indeed, one area where mainstream science on the subject is in the process of updating itself).

Please, tell me of the people with type 1 diabetes who have had their condition reversed by a change in diet. I'd genuinely love it if it were true, but it's not. It's complete BS.

By the way, calling something 'mainstream' when it comes to medicine is not the insult you seem to think it is. It generally means 'credible people have performed studies with a credible methodology, and they have found stuff out'. You'll have to forgive me if I don't find anecdotes on the internet a particularly compelling alternative.

This is not to say that fringe opinions are all bad - occasionally one of those opinions will be right, the mainstream will be wrong, and the mainstream will be updated. Usually, though, we try to have some kind of credible evidence before stating wild leaps as fact - because most of these fringe opinions are wrong.
It's neat but it runs at about 5fps on my fairly new laptop. No-one is putting that in a game and I can't imagine how it'd work in an app.

Still cool as a tech demo though.

Haha, sorry about that. q42.com is very experimental, perhaps too much so. It works really well in Chrome/Safari, okay in Firefox, and not at all in the lower-end stuff.

You can use the keyboard to go back and forth between steps.

We don't offer a HTML5 game engine yet, but we'll build one if we need to. Right now we're using a light-weight version of what we made for sarien.net.
I laugh when I think of people claiming that the browser is the best 'multiple platform' environment. Seems like the worst!

I'd rather go native... less fiddling.
The CPU is aware of a thread's instruction pointer and stack pointer (that's how some CPUs are able to support hyperthreading). Perhaps it's possible that the OS could somehow manipulate that to implement threads that are not as heavyweight as "common" threads, but I'm not aware of any OS that does that. Threads are the only multiprocessing abstraction provided by the CPU and the OS (although now there are some new abstractions for GPUs).
Hey, Rahul here, one of the guys from Q42 who built the prototype.

We approached the "Two Guys from Andromeda" just over a week ago with the idea of helping show them that HTML5 is a viable adventure gaming platform. They were so surprised that they brought us on with them to help prototype an early game demo during the Kickstarter period.

We had a lot of fun prototyping this, and it's just the beginning. Each time the Kickstarter pledges reach another $100k, we'll release another iteration based around fan feedback. This could mean better art, sound and narration, expanded gameplay, death sequences, etc - we're really looking to just interact with the fan community on this.

As far as we're concerned, getting to do this (working with our childhood heroes while using our favorite development platform) is a net win for hackers and geeks, so I thought it would be a relevant post here. Have fun!
Just as a FYI, you can share to people outside of your circles, if they have it enabled. Instead of selecting a circle to share, just put their names in. Of course, this depends on the settings of the other person and doesn't disprove anything. Just wanted to tell you in case it's of any use for you.
I 100% agree with your concern, and that is the problem for it extends beyond tech startups to anyone in the world who have this mindset (of which there are many -- the ruthlessly, amorally, ambitious.)

I don't think the developer paid with his reputation. He actually gains reputation as someone who would stand up to injustice and unethical behavior. Of course unethical employers would hesitate to trust him but do you want to work for unethical employers?
Nice. Looks like the lights are represented as single points, so even making it bigger still produces the "on/off" effect when moving objects in front of the light.
Yes. This is so indisputably true I wonder how you can possibly think otherwise.

Even putting aside what must be something like 30 or 40 years worth of life expectancy at birth, and probably a decade or so of life expectancy as a 20-something, the median inhabitant of Earth a thousand years ago was engaged in backbreaking labor from sunrise to sunset, ate an unvaried, subsistence diet and was almost completely illiterate.

The current median inhabitant might be working in a Foxconn factory, but he or she has massive health and lifestyle advantages over his or her 1000 AD counterpart.

They outsource costs, the advertizing affiliates do (through things like triple play) and support (nobody calls HBO when they can't get to the channel.) These are extra costs they would have to take on.

On the other hand, on the Internet, they have a relatively small library compared to their competitors, who have both a large library and scaled support. And much of the content is advertising-based, which doesn't work with HBO's model.

It seems to make sense to me.

I have to wonder whether the author is one of those people who writes SQL that reads like procedural code, full of IFs and WHILEs/cursors. I can't count how many times I've converted application-layer-equivalent code like that into briefer, more readable set-based SQL equivalents that perform thousands of times faster. (I say this as someone who is quite happily using MongoDB in my current personal project - but who will almost certainly be piping that data into PostgreSQL for offline analysis. Right tool for the right job, as GP says.)

How to Find Your Next Great Idea
When Someone Asks You for a Favor
Only a rather small part of Japan is cold (North of Tokyo basically, in terms of population the cold part of Japan would make around 15-20%). Most of Japan is between warm and subtropical. Okinawa is tropical.

Taiwan, quite similar to Japan in many respects, is tropical (same weather as Okinawa basically, it's quite close). I've been there recently for a few weeks and temps were in the 25C-32C range most of the time. Boiling hot. Yet this is one of the places of the world where more shit gets done and invented per capita. I was in a technology park, spending a lot of time in cafes, and it felt just like Palo Alto (but more on the EE side rather than on the CS side).

Now, these people have great beaches and a weather that'd allow you to spent most of the year if not all year in the beach, but they find a balance and are every bit as industrious as any cold Nordic country if not more. Same can be said for a good part of Southern China and South Korea.

It's a matter of culture, not weather. Responsibility and hard work need to be nurtured.
I used to think like that, but now I am back to languages with native code generation for the projects where I can dictate a language choice. Depending on the project requirements, this means C++, D, Go, Haskell or OCaml.

Sadly from all options I listed above, C++ is still the best one supported in the industry. But coupled with a good static analyzer, it is quite nice.

What we miss is the possibility to have native code generation support for higher level languages to become more widespread.
This was pretty cool, but I couldn't help being struck by how utterly poorly it performs, especially as soon as you add just a handful of objects and two light sources. Sure, it's written in JS, but JS has come a long way in terms of performance, and so have our computers.

This demonstration instantly makes me think of Blizzard's Diablo II from 2000, which features an identical effect during gameplay, with a seemingly infinite number of shadow-generating obstacles and as many light sources casting shadows as there are players on the screen, and it runs perfectly smooth even on a 500mhz P3.

Handle Mac Files Recovery with Data Recovery Program

jmq & basman provide examples of how to do it succinctly.
Your post really hit home with me (plus, I'm French too). I can relate to what you're saying because I spent most of last year in Southeast Asia developing websites/web apps an I found it to be quite isolating at times. Not having people around who know what the heck you're talking about is tough.

Since then I came back to Europe and after a while not really knowing where to go, I started from fresh in Paris (never lived here before), still working on my own projects but trying a bit harder to go to meetups, meet other entrepreneurs, developers etc. Still isolation is a danger when you're working all day on your own stuff.

I was really seduced by the 4 hour workweek ideas at the time and I'm still trying to find a way to make it sustainable and satisfying. Having a home base + having the freedom to go for semi-extended travel at times is very appealing to lots of us I know :-)
"guesses wrong about how to perform queries all the time. Experienced MySQL users expect to write a lot of FORCE INDEX clauses."

This is most generally a sign of bad indexing/query construction. I've seen so many databases with dozens of indexs placed on tables (which only had a requirement for a few) because the developers just didn't grasp how they should be setup - which isn't rocket science.
Okay, look.

I look like fucking Bob Marley, I just fucking do. This hair is a fucking baby, but makes me flow like Spike Spiegal. I am not kidding you. I wear what I wear because, quite frankly, I found most of it. And I'm not letting it go. It's my "brand" or whatever trash-jargon concept you wish to apply. And I develop web apps. (these realizations were documented in hindsight to the following:) (But just a tad before: I actually had a client ask, "So what's up with the hair?" This "style" occurs naturally. I do what I can with what I've accepted about my personal image and what I am willing to accept of it.)

I took a job at Waste Management in Houston Corporate Headquaters with KF and BG. KF a hip, young but distinguished-looking 30-something, and BG another minority like me. We worked with git and I drew all sorts of nutty information architecture concepts upon a dry-erase board wall on the 17-th floor. Downtown Houston. We did front-end development. The teams wiped out now, after about a year. I believe I triggered part of that. And then they threw SharePoint at us. We were expected to devise a CSS system around trashy SilverLight modules and around some SilverLight developers bogus understanding of front-end considerations. And then the Enterprise CMS with no documentation and no "technical vision."

Garbage. In a world like this, why should Zuckerberg care? Developers have seen the dirty laundry of these rotting industries, and they're going to wear it.

The day it struck me is when I decided to take my morning stroll around the office, to strike up that Office Space tone for the day. So I could write my some-number-of-lines-of-code. My coffee was stale and depressing. As I turned the corner, a VP, along with others, about their own morning stroll, shouts at me, "Whoa! Hair!"

You just can't fucking win with these fucking suits.

If it's HTML5, why does it require Chrome? Is there any way I can have Firefox have a go at it?
Martin from Q42 here, also one of the guys behind the html5 prototype thing.

This first prototype is the least viable "playable game" to illustrate Mark and Scott really think highly of getting fans involved from the earliest sketch to the final adventure game.

Doing that and iterating quickly on (the overwhelming) responses needed a flexible engine and easy deployment to the PC, Mac and Linux platforms with an experience that is 99% similar on all of those. HTML5 and the Chrome Web Store are ideal for that.

So it's not about HTML5 itself actually, it's about being able to act upon fan feedback and incorporating that in an improved next prototype in a matter of days.

It feels like pioneering and the entire team (Two Guys and Q42) is very excited about what's coming up. A next prototype with real artwork, a real avatar and in the end music and all that - that's the bar we've set and it will be one that will resonate better with the most sceptic voices heared so far as the "prototype" will be as close to - or equal to - a real short adventure game. Only this time done with fans in a really short time.
Wealth and happiness are related up to a point we reached in western countries in the 1960's IIRC.

I think you're confusing absolute well-being with emotional satisfaction. The latter is often relative: Humans judge themselves in comparison to others, and are often happiest when they perceive themselves to be at the top of the pile. No amount of wealth is likely to change that. As our more "basic" needs of food, health and shelter are increasingly easy to acquire, yes, we'll focus more on that kind of emotional satisfaction.

But again, it's a relative phenomenon. If you think you'd be just as happy after being transported to the 1960's as you are today, I think you're fooling yourself. You'd miss all sort of features of the present day that our massively greater wealth has facilitated (and you'd miss a few years of life expectancy, too). Your absolute well-being is almost certainly much higher, and while that might not lead to emotional satisfaction, it's certainly worth pursuing. Better to be Socrates dissatisfied...

After playing around a bit, my browser history has thousands of entries from this site.
Performance has been my focus on this work, I use a lot a cache canvas to not redraws gradient and path things but just copy caches. But i'm stuck on Canvas and requestAnimationFrame performances. Let's hope it will continue to improve, otherwise I could try to use WebGL but it will not be supported by every browsers for today.

Do you use a lot of sampling in the lights? I reach good fps on my macbook pro, especially on Chrome (but also on my home computer under Linux).

I hope we can use it with less sampling and less compute() calls for our games :)

You want to use the phone as an extended keyboard full of macros. Neat. However, we all usually do not use lots of keys on the main keyboard like F1-F12,Scroll Lock, Pause|Break etc. So why not convert these keys into your macros? There are a bunch of programs out there that do this.
I myself created one such program at my work which, when detects a PRINTSCREEN press, takes the screenshot and saves it in a specified directory in a specified format!

Let me know if you need that! As far as your offer of doing the same on a cellphone, i am afraid I am ill-equipped to be able to do that.

It's not really HBO's fault that Game of Thrones is pirated so much

interestingly, Game of Thrones, Season Two, is available on iTunes here in Australia and follows only 10 days after US release. We pay rather more here than in the US, but at $28 for a season pass, it's cheaper than the cost of the DVDs when they come out
Mmh unfortunately requestAnimationFrame() seems to be very "greedy", it seems its strategy is to consume as much resource as possible (if the render() is not enough fast).

Companies are lucky if I use AdBlock, because my personal "Rule of 7" states that company adds I see more than 7 times make this company an automatic member of the "annoying company list" (Adds that blink or play sound (hear me coka cola?)) are immediate candidates.
No, the type implied by an auto declaration is resolved at compile time.
I'm not fond of brain teasers either, but small, self-contained questions have value. Often if they're simple enough you can use them in many interviews and establish a base line (if the candidate did a, b or c she will usually work out, if she took route d, that betrays a weakness in X etc).

This is not a replacement for evaluation of a candidate on their own merits, and having a good in-depth technical conversation. But I like having something to ground my evaluations in as well and make them even slightly comparable.

For reference, I do the same thing when I get interviewed; I have a few questions I ask any prospective company so I have some comparative way to evaluate them. Never bad to try to have some metrics in your process.
you are right, I ignore the light if its center is inside an object, it was before I implement these samples.
I should still fix it, maybe it's just by removing this check but I remember having some strange effects.

I remember coming across issue #1 of "New Scientist" in a university library in the mid-80s ... unfortunately it seems to be missing from Google (so far).

If it shows up I'd highly recommend looking at it, specifically for the editorial setting out the frame of reference for what the editors intended the magazine to do: it had a mass-educational brief that is virtually absent from science and tech reporting today. (Instead we get lots of gosh-wow sense-of-wonder stuff but precious little substance or analytical thinking.)
Since it's a prototype we're focusing on fast iterations using webkit specific CSS properties and such without worrying about cross browser support. I think it works okay in Firefox, but we haven't tested it and don't guarantee it for this phase.

It requires Chrome because putting it up in the Chrome Web Store allows users to download and install it, which removes concerns about latency (since the assets total 7MB, we don't want the game art loading in fragments). It also allows us to point to a single place where people can get the game. And Google is in charge of hosting and bandwidth, something else we don't want to be worrying about right now.

If your concerns lie with Chrome being a Google product, I believe you can install it in Chromium as well, though I haven't tried it myself.
