Thanks for sharing. Blog posts sharing a little of the behind-the-scenes are great. And it is nice to have a better understanding of where such a useful tool came from.

I can’t believe you are going along with Trump's stupid assertion that initial funding for the wall is a "down payment." Put that phrase in quotes and criticize it, or don’t use it at all. https://www.onwords.xyz/201...

very cool demo. thanks.

FYI, the generated turbulence filter code is using type=fractalNoise, but it should be type=turbulence.

Re: The Left Chose Islam Over Gays. Now 100 People Are Killed Or Maimed In Orlando

The same God that wiped Sodom off the map for allowing homosexuality?

Did you even read the post?

Just because most Christians don’t really, actually believe the things in the Bible, that doesn’t make Yahweh (the same God as Allah, the same God as Jesus) any less of an anti-gay, bloodthirsty motherf——ker.

Every single one of you who use this anti-gay attack as a reason to boo Islam — as well you should! — every single one of you should also be booing the fictional God who inspired this hatred.

“prosperous” — Surely you mean “phosphorous”.

Fun fact: It’s most commonly spelled “burying the lede” so as to avoid confusion with “lead” — both meanings of “lead” would be in heavy rotation around the newsroom (thanks to the nature of the printing press)

I am deeply ashamed by the entitlement on display in these comments. Yes, documentation is good and important. _This is open-source software. Contribute or shut your meme-hole._

Re: Hulk Hogan vs. Gawker: $100 million sought for posting sex tape of wrestler with friend's wife

I must be missing something. If I talk about my sex life, that gives Gawker the right to profit off stolen footage of me and my partner having sex?

Re: New Logo for Microsoft Edge

Alan Hogan — Sun, 02 Aug 2015 18:06:01 -0000

It’s an even stupider from a web developer's perspective, or at least it will be to those who learn web development from here on: Internet Explorer allows you to request the newest rendering engine (absurd this is necessary!) by using a hidden code `IE=edge` in your HTML. That means the bleeding edge. Now there is a browser called “Edge” which is really just IE, but Microsoft is trying to convince us that it’s “not IE,” it’s a “fork,” it’s “modern and evergreen.”

Now imagine you just started learning HTML and you see `IE=edge` in the page source. What are you even supposed to make of that?

I hate it, like everyone else. But I also can't help thinkin of Sonic The Hedgehog, or a kokopelli.

Re: I noticed some disturbing privacy defaults in Windows 10.

Hi, Apple absolutely does not give itself permission to see everything you type. https://www.apple.com/priva... http://www.apple.com/privacy/ and there’s a technical document out there somewhere discussing what data they can and can't see. Hint: Apple doesn’t even give itself the ability to read your iMessages. They're end-to-end encrypted. What other big tech company even tries to be this respectful?

> "just"

I don’t think that word means what you think it means. It is arguable whether or not this article “is” or even contains Microsoft hate, but it is plainly also factual *and* opinionated. (The two can and often do co-exist!)

Hey, by “bend over” our friend could have meant “to keep your head in the sand.” Did we already forget about PRISM? Heartbleed? and the numerous other bugs and zero-days that show time and time again that data sent to $HugeCorp doesn’t necessarily stay with $HugeCorp?

I don’t believe that, legally, terms of service really apply to a physical object that you own. (I am not a lawyer)

Re: Programmer creates 800,000 books algorithmically, starts selling them on Amazon

Alan Hogan — Sat, 13 Jun 2015 21:55:13 -0000

Well, two years ago when I made the above comment, I followed a link to a book or books in question on Amazon and used the "Look inside this book" feature of Amazon to read a few sample pages. There may be a link in the article, although that will only help if the books are still on Amazon. I certainly don’t have a copy, sorry.

Comments like // this seriously mess up the output, causing "unexpected end of script" errors.

Re: The Software and Services Apple Needs to Fix

My two biggest gripes are iPhoto and WiFi (not in that order). I take a lot of photos and like to spend time editing them, and both iPhoto and Aperture are so low-quality, mediocrely designed, and plain buggy that it makes me want to scream. For instance, a lot of time, zooming a photo fails. As in, it is still showing a low-res version of the photo and never loads the actual pixels. What?? that is insane, right? It is paramount to show me my actual photos. This can be very misleading: Is this photo blurry (in which case I will delete) or a scaled-up low-res version of the photo thanks to this iPhoto bug (in which case I hope I don’t delete it, but might out of confusion)?

One more item, which is trivial and yet upsetting due to how visible and personal it is: My Yosemite computers can't seem to remember their desktop backgrounds anymore. Mine often reset to the default wallpaper. And my screen saver often goes missing, too. Truly bizarre.

Re: Increasing SASS Compiling Performance or "When Every Second Counts”

Alan Hogan — Wed, 24 Dec 2014 22:11:36 -0000

Really interesting. Thanks for sharing this. It's painful to read, since I do love me my compass, susy, and (ruby) Sass. But maybe it'll be worth switching if my compilation gets painfully slow, the way it often does…

Re: Butt Storage? Butt Deployment?

It’s a reaction to the total buzzwordization the word. It used to just be an element in a flow chart / diagram symbolizing the internet, but now it’s synonymous with corporate computing.

I’m going to define a conclussion as when a problem is so hard, you just head-desk. (Obviously, I’m pronouncing it like “concussion.”)

It’s a hilarious typo.
