Interesting, kind of like a code style checker.

You can also automatically generate recipes using auto-soylent: https://github.com/nick/auto-soylent The nutrient profile can be taken from the patent.

This sounds like a really nice idea.

I prefer my 7 Minute Workout Bash-Script: https://github.com/vlaube-de/7min-workout

While we are on the topic of post-mortems for old games, I enjoyed Bob Pape's writeup of his port of R-Type to the ZX Spectrum. You can get the free eBook here: http://bizzley.com/

I too wrote a 7 minute workout app, only this time as a shell script.

This is an interesting problem, I wonder if Photoshop or The Gimp actually do something fancy here. There shouldn't be much of a problem replacing files when the files never get bigger and uncompressed ZIPs are used (compressed would make any sense for PNGs and JPGs anyway). Small variations in file size could be compensated with some kind of padding, but it seems to me that we are approaching a point of complexity here, where we should just use another kind of filesystem, one that supports fragmented data.

The file extension actually makes a difference here, CBRs are RAR compressed archives.

Writing a simple game is a great way to practice your programming skills.

I think you misunderstood the intentions here, the game was not supposed to be a demonstration of what is possible with HTML5.

The author probably just wanted to show what he does to practice his programming skills.

Yes, "I'm sorry" always carries the connotation of "this won't happen again" with it. If you are sorry all the time, it doesn't actually mean anything.

Like everywhere else the basic design principle of contrast also holds in the tone of error messages.

If you shout all the time, nobody will listen when you really mean it. Likewise, if you are sorry all the time, nobody will take your apology serious.

Nice. Reminds me of my Bubble Project concept from a couple of years ago. http://valentinlaube.de/projects/bubble%20project/

When there are no pictures, people will create their own images in their minds which are probably wrong. You don't want that.

My impression was that it had to do with the gamma correction of PNG images. The 4chan thumbnail generator seems to ignore the gamma correction while the browser does not.

The article makes it sound like she is some kind of genius but using http://www.memegenerator.net/ is not rocked science. Pretty clever though.

They are just examples of things he disagrees with, and not meant as a comparison. But yes, there are probably better examples in this context.

The point is that you don't have to support people you disagree with.

This. But I should probably thank him, because after reading that I searched and found an editor that suited me better and was Open Source. :)

I liked UltraEdit back in my Windows days, but this story kind of put me off: http://www.ultraedit.com/company/IDM_full_story.html
