Can you share more about where you took the class? Continuing education, or a vocational school? Did you take it purely as a hobbyist, or hope to get into the trade?

To solve the wide-screen, narrow text problem, I once threw together a demo with a hacked up Chromium/WebKit to create a flowing, multi column view mode that created a long virtual scroll surface and scrolled it like newspaper columns: https://vimeo.com/59463521.
It wasn't super intuitive, but wish a modern browser had this.

This is essentially how a wingsuit works, although inflation happens in flight through inlets. That is in general how nylon wings (e.g. paragliders) work as well.

Did your degree help you with that decision?

You'd be remiss if you don't mention Binary Ninja[1]. A relative newcomer that's already extremely capable, has great scripting support and is under very active development.

If you're healthy and using a normal, dynamic rope, no it won't. It won't even hurt. A factor 2 fall onto webbing or dyneema can totally mess you up though, even from a couple of feet.
yan | 8 years ago | on: Surviving injuries from falling
Unsafe for what? Almost all of the fall forces should be dissipated by a dynamic rope, not the harness.

Man, talk about the ephemeral internet: One of my first projects[1] in Haskell was a small tool to go through my Google Reader favorites and download posts I tagged on ffffound.

Something that made filling rentals cars easier: there's a triangle on the dash that points to which side the cap is on next to the "fuel" symbol on all the cars I've been in.

Moxie explicitly gave Zizek credit in his speech.

He addresses that in the book as well. His goal is to give rough estimates and a framework to reason about energy sources, not provide conclusions.
yan | 9 years ago | on: Atmospheric carbon dioxide passes 400ppm
I recently started reading "Sustainable Energy Without The Hot Air"[1], which is available as a free book, and it's been a wonderful introduction to reasoning about alternative energy. The author also gave a talk a few years ago that is very approachable[2].

When I first discovered Music for 18 musicians, it's all I'd listen to while working and commuting for weeks and weeks.
yan | 9 years ago | on: Alan Kay has agreed to do an AMA today
What most recent topic in the field of programming languages, or computing more broadly, have you changed your mind about in a substantial way?

I agree it sounds similar, I was just pointing out that it's likely a reference to the plasma device and not a comment on Mac computers.
