First I just want to say, that is a damn beautiful website. No ads, no popups, just pure information.

And second, as a former back end developer who has spent a huge amount of time working on input sanitization and building database schemas, that list gave me mild PTSD for a job I have never even had.

It would be really fun to see a modern mockup of the world he envisioned for 2014. Elevated moving sidewalks with benches, transparent cubical 3D displays, automated kitchen and glowing wall panels.

Great. Now I’m unsure of how to pronounce database as well.

I haven’t even tried the application yet, but that website is pretty damn cool!

Simply being reminded that this video exists never fails to brighten my day.

Somethin’ like a fish.

I’m assuming this only makes sense when the client can do something useful with an incomplete json object. I wonder how much extra overhead this would require on both the server and client side.

If you want to spread the message it might help to write a title that actually says something about the content.

One of my favorite people! If you’re at all interested in computer graphics, math, fractals, or art, you should really check out his work on shadertoy.com. The hundreds of projects he has shared there are an incredible educational tool, not to mention many are just jaw-droppingly beautiful. Here’s a link to one I particularly enjoy.

Maybe this only works on certain fish, but if you stop the first long cut just short of the tail you can flip the fillet over and it stays connected to the body, making it easier to hold while you cut the fillet away from the skin.
