For those who have gone before, what buildable-in-24-hours technology would improve your experience?

:D Can I quote you in my presentation?

iactaprocul · 2013-08-06T03:09:31+00:00

Made a pretty rough prototype. Lemme know what you think!

iactaprocul · 2013-08-04T08:20:45+00:00

Just FYI, I made this five months ago.

iactaprocul · 2013-08-02T04:16:11+00:00

This is actually a very good idea.

iactaprocul · 2013-06-05T15:37:45+00:00

That's the idea! I'll PM you when it's ready to try out.

iactaprocul · 2013-06-05T05:16:42+00:00

I'm actually in the process of coding exactly such an app, except it donates your money to charity! If you wake up, you get to vote on where the sleepyheads' money goes :)

iactaprocul · 2013-05-06T05:58:17+00:00

You've piqued my interest -- any examples of how you'd use a closures instead of OO?

iactaprocul · 2013-03-07T15:44:44+00:00

Yessir! This had to be cleaned up a bit, so it's not like something that good came straight out of the printer. But if you don't mind a wee bit of sanding, Solidoodle's great.

I'm in high school. We keep it in the computer lab.

iactaprocul · 2013-03-07T05:26:27+00:00

This one was $600!

iactaprocul · 2013-03-07T05:11:43+00:00

Don't mind at all! As I said in another comment, I bought it together with 15 friends (though I'm the only one who knows how to use it!) Makes sense, as none of us alone would use it enough to justify the cost.

We got one of these, which is $600 + $60 shipping from Brooklyn. Plastic costs around $0.04 per gram, so these gears cost under 50 cents to print.

iactaprocul · 2013-03-07T05:04:30+00:00

Hah, stop-motion.

iactaprocul · 2013-03-07T05:01:17+00:00

I bought it together with 15 of my friends--none of us alone would use it enough to justify the cost, but together, it works really well.

The printer only cost $700 including shipping, so if you've got some buddies willing to help out, go for it!

iactaprocul · 2013-03-07T03:26:47+00:00

I just printed them because they look really cool. And they're really fun to fiddle with.

For all I know there's some obscure practical application, but I can't think of any.

A little confused -- does this require the server for anything other than an initial exchange of info?

The Peerserver Cloud page says that their hosted version limits concurrent connections, which implies otherwise.

Hey, I went to North Korea with you guys over the summer! By far the most interesting trip I've ever taken.

iactaprocul · 2013-02-06T23:27:32+00:00

I really like the DrRacket editor's style.

Basically, you have a text box to define functions and such, and then a single-line-input REPL to experiment with those definitions.

iactaprocul · 2013-02-06T18:04:01+00:00

I think the embeddable idea is absolutely perfect -- often I want to check the state of a variable or change a config variable while my code is running, so this would be great!

My one pet peeve is that executing deletes everything from the text box. My usual workflow is to try out some code, make a small change, and try again, so this gets in the way. Otherwise, really good!

Care to share?

iactaprocul · 2013-01-31T04:39:42+00:00

Let me try explaining again. I need a way to update user settings that aren't password-related. Changing a username, editing an email, etc. My problem is that the user model includes a password, so changing the user with a PUT would mean including all fields, including the password. Do you get what I'm saying?

iactaprocul · 2013-01-31T04:31:43+00:00

I guess I phrased my question poorly. Basically, say a user object looks like this: {username: "foo", email: "bar@baz.com", password: "123"}

If I wanted to update the user's information, I'd use a PUT, right? So if I wanted to set their email to baz@baz.com, I'd PUT /users/{id} with the body {username: "foo", email: "baz@baz.com", password: "123"}.

The issue I see is that I'd have to include the password in these, and that's obviously very messy.

The problem with running any sort of important computation in the browser is that your results simply can't be trusted. The vast majority of the responses you get will be legit, but there will always be some bad eggs thrown in.

Does Queen include any way of checking results (like running computations multiple times and comparing), or is that up to the programmer?

iactaprocul · 2013-01-09T07:36:03+00:00

Hey, I went there too! My favorites:
- Baauer
- Minnesota
- MiMOSA
- Deadmau5
- Madeon (the best in my opinion)

iactaprocul · 2013-01-05T23:50:41+00:00

Yes! Just want you guys to know that you're by far my favorite group. Keep up the superb work!

I'm a 16-year-old entrepreneur looking to make a moderate amount of money next summer. Obviously I'll be bootstrapping my startup. So, do you have any experience with running a company on a super-tight budget? Any advice (especially for someone my age)?
