I'm hopeful (but maybe not optimistic) that Arkane gets out of this with the ability to do what they're really good at again.

Single player, but stereoscopic? One display from each bud.

"VR Doom has been ported to an earbud(s)" ;)

from the abstract....

"In this paper, we study the stability of the public IP addresses a user device uses to communicate with our server. Over time, a same device communicates with our server using a set of distinct IP addresses, but we find that devices reuse some of their previous IP addresses for long periods of time. We call this IP address retention and, the duration for which an IP address is retained by a device, is named the IP address retention period. We present an analysis of 34,488 unique public IP addresses collected from 2,230 users over a period of 111 days and we show that IP addresses remain a prime vector for online tracking. 87 % of participants retain at least one IP address for more than a month and 45 % of ISPs in our dataset allow keeping the same IP address for more than 30 days."

The minute hand would be one revolution an hour.

I would love to do some sort of homeAssistant type automation, but I've been dithering for ages because everything I read up on all the various light and appliance control protocols make me feel my entire home would become a massive UI/UX nightmare for myself and visitors. I want smarts, but I also never want to have to reboot a lightswitch.

I'm working on a pi zero version of my own at the moment. The National Rail Enquires api's (Darwin) are free to use at personal (and surprisingly large) scale. They may be SOAP but still easy enough to talk to with some simple python. https://www.nationalrail.co.uk/46391.aspx

It's still available if you dig around on Adobe's site.

Despite having the full creative suite I still turn to Fireworks for quick jobs sometimes when I need to do a fast crop or slice job, or put together a simple 'constructed' image element.

Also in the UK. The last Yellow Pages we received, about two months ago, had a large ‘Final Issue‘ highlight on the front. They’ve finally given up. I tried to dredge up some nostalgic feelings for it’s demise, but flicking through the contents I really couldn’t. About 40% of the ad space throughout the book was for one advertiser, Gas Safe Register, and I can only assume that got sold at a song to fill the space. I’d love to know the percentage of the population that are going to miss it. I can see why it’s no longer effective with search engines being what they are, but there must still be a decent number of (presumably older) people who don’t google when they need contact details.

It's http://news.bbc.co.uk/onthisday/hi/dates/stories/may/16/news...

Thanks for that one.

My bond dream team would be a screenplay/script by Charlie Higson and Mark Gatiss and directed by Edgar Wright.

At which point we'll all still be too distracted by deciding which JavaScript build system to use.

Pun intended?

Dan Abromovich sort of introducing Redux in this talk. https://youtu.be/xsSnOQynTHs

Hopefully that's a good thing though. It's not a completely inaccessible price but hopefully it should be enough to stall an Apple Store type race to the bottom of flappy birds and other clones.

Interesting read.

I've recently decided to start taking the plunge into game dev myself, coming from a purely web/app dev background and to try to blog the process in the hopes it will turn in to a useful resource for other completely green game Devs.

The first of the two (somewhat insubstantial) videos I've made about it is here if anyone's interested https://youtu.be/PliCYTiCxKk

We just throw some Pollock on the box at random, but there's some more detailed Seurat dotted around the stack.

Really sorry, down voted you by mistake with a loose finger. App I use has moved the vote buttons right where I scroll.

This is generally quite nice. To add to some of the other feedback, I felt it could do with more verbose help text and more importantly for my brief play with it, more focus bringing basic staples to the top of results for food search.

I tried to add just bacon and it took rewatching the demo video and some guesswork to figure out searching for 'bacon raw' would get to basic bacon. Trying just 'bacon' or 'pork' only gets lots of babyfood and soup related answers in the generated dropdown.

This is one of those tiny off-topic feedbacks that might just be me, but the colour choice on the inactive tick boxes means that when I'm scanning through the text and the ticks are in my peripheral vision they 'strobe' in a really distracting mildly off-putting way, like a subtle version of the dots in this illusion http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grid_illusion

And on the seventh day, REST

The site for the project is a bit sparse on details bit can be found here http://www.superawesomemicroproject.com/

Also in that vein on Mac it's worth having a look at Alfred http://alfredapp.com

I'm a big fan too, not only is it a nice mysql interface it's a really nice example of generally well designed software. Lot's of lovely little touches in the way it remembers the state of various views as you're working with it make it really hassle free.

This is handy and all but have the last 12 months not taught us all that this sort of unauthorised access to systems can land you a period of state funded accommodation?

My one is visualising a clock face, 12, 3, 6, 9

That's far more rock'n'roll, I might make the switch. Now I just need to remember...
