This is not even a good portfolio piece. The typography is really bad.

Meteor provides its own MongoDB lite for that.
Re:Flash vs HTML - Waste Invaders on Friday March 08, 2013 @05:53AM (#5342830)
I lost mouse focus a couple of times by moving the pointer out of the browser window in the HTML5 version which lead to multiple game deaths. This didn't happen with the flash version. Is there some technical barrier in browsers preventing complete mouse capturing?
What do you have to assume about e.g. user monitor ppi and webcam field of view to make this work?

Volkswagen probably.
The devs should include a global-corner-radius setting in variables.less

Not a good practice. If you keep changes of .less files separate you create an overhead of 50-100% of the resulting style-sheet file size for larger projects, that style most of the components.

We now directly modify everything and try to merge in updates manually. This has proven to be the best practice.

Re:Show HN: Hush, an "incognito mode for Facebook" on Wednesday October 31, 2012 @09:11AM (#4722620)
Your system seems to be able to correlate the FB id and user id on login to filter my own posts and aggregate my friends postings.

Am I wrong to assume that this ability might enable de-anonymization of postings after a server compromise?

Re:Show HN: Hush, an "incognito mode for Facebook" on Wednesday October 31, 2012 @08:33AM (#4722478)
How do you filter my "own" posts without correlating my Facebook id with a post-author id?
Re:Bootstrap Live Editor on Monday October 29, 2012 @11:12AM (#4712606)
The UI components visually do not adhere to the general Twitter Bootstrap appearance.

And it uses tables (!) for laying out the toolbar buttons.

Text effects, not typography.

What is a software designer? Do you mean a software engineer or an interface designer?

Re:Space isn't ours. on Monday August 06, 2012 @08:24AM (#4344884)
I watched the beginning of the NASA JPL press conference and the overt patriotism was unbearable (at least for me as an European citizen). They not only coarsely described as an American victory, but also patronized foreign Mars projects – the successful ones apparently being a result of "American leadership".
Re:Easel: Design without a Designer on Tuesday July 03, 2012 @04:27AM (#4193111)
"Just focus on building your product"

That's what we call design.

What are the colors for? Do they really serve a relevant purpose?
Also, that time gave rise to the Technocracy Movement, which proposed an allegedly new way to run society other than by dictatorship or democracy.
