nicklovescode··on University of California introduces a modern logo
Waiting for the new logo to fully load, all I see is a slow yellow loading gif.
nicklovescode··on Show HN: Sandbox.js - Run user code in a sandboxed environment
yeah, a malicious user can do whatever they want using window.parent. It's not for security, as far as I know there's not much that can protect against that.
nicklovescode··on Show HN: Sandbox.js - Run user code in a sandboxed environment
correct on both counts
nicklovescode··on Show HN: Sandbox.js - Run user code in a sandboxed environment
It's not really meant for security. As another comment stated they could just hang the browser. It's more that page code doesn't get in the way of user scripts. They're free to do $('a') or body { background: blue; } and only affect their element(s)
nicklovescode··on Versal - HTML5 education platform (splash)
We're not releasing too much at this point, but wanted to have something publicly available. We're working hard, and should have something more visible in the next few months!

It should be responsive, it works for me on my laptop and phone.

sorry - it is fixed now.
nicklovescode··on Show HN: An IDE for poets
Not sure if this would be helpful, but I built http://nickcammarata.com/haiku/ a while ago, which has some code for calculating syllables. http://nickcammarata.com/haiku/haiku.coffee (or .js)

Not a critique of this in particular, but does JS styling inconsistency not drive everyone else mental? I'm not a big fan of camelCase, but when I see veer_coefficient_horizontal next to setTimeout, I get itchy.
nicklovescode··on Stop building dumb stuff
Reminds me of http://stopbuildingbullshit.com/
nicklovescode··on Show HN: Bubbles - my unfinished HTML5 Particle Game
Reminds me of a super simple game I wrote a few years ago to try out processing.js - http://nickcammarata.com/processing/
nicklovescode··on Meteor chat app
Having used Meteor for a few weeks, I'm always impressed with how much time it is saving me.

One of the unfortunate things about Meteor at the moment is there aren't many open projects to learn from. For others trying to gain insights to best practices through this projects, here are some suggestions I may offer:

Users.find({last_seen: {$lt: (now - 60 * 1000)}}).forEach(function (user) { Users.remove(user._id); });

-> Users.remove({ last_seen: { $lt: (now - 60 * 1000) } });

and

Messages.find({date: {$gt: new Date()}}).forEach(function (message) { Messages.update(message._id, {$set: {date: new Date()}}); });

-> Messages.update({date: {$gt: new Date()}}, { $set: {+new Date() }})

Excellent work otherwise though. I'd love to see more open source projects released with Meteor if anything for others to learn from!

nicklovescode··on Edx Announced 7 Free Courses
I was a bit surprised to see Berkeley as well. It was pitched as such a MIT & Harvard collaboration that I didn't get the sense other schools would be involved this early on. I'm glad they are offering classes here too though, EdX seems much more quality vs quantity.

edit: woah, Dan!

nicklovescode··on Maria: An MVC framework for JS
I'm curious

What are patterns you mentioned?

nicklovescode··on It's Playtime - Light Table Playground released
If it was intended to prefer the author's title, even "It's playtime - Light Table Playground released" is far better.
nicklovescode··on Haskell School of Music by Paul Hudak
Read the title as Haskell Musical, and thought the name was pretty clever. I'll just leave this here.

Having created dozens of cron jobs across several apps(as I'm sure half of us here have), thank you.

We're working on finding an appropriate level of compression for the audio.
nicklovescode··on Tablo: A new tool for teachers to create and share lessons
You're right. Do you have any other suggestions?

Unilateral information exchange doesn't quite have the same ring to it.

nicklovescode··on Tablo: A new tool for teachers to create and share lessons
Good idea. Until HTML5 Device steps up it's game, Flash is the only way to record audio, leading to some very strange bugs and that annoying dialog box.
