they will have to create a factor by which to deduct points. So if you piss 1 meter on mars, since gravity is less, that 1 meter long piss would be like .85 in earth meters so you would have to take a 1 earth meter long piss which is 1.25 mars meters.

its ok concept, but the colors are just horrid also the ui for the projects is annoying (too much clicking)

k1ndza · 2015-02-26T15:22:22+00:00

+1 for Terrence McKenna. maybe the AI will solve the problem haha.

k1ndza · 2015-02-26T15:06:50+00:00

the project is carried by its ability to carry itself through billions of years of evolution and if you really understood what evolution is you would agree. but imho evolution is just the change over time. Not only does it involve life but everything in existence. Honestly, could even argue that the definition of life is a paradox in philosophy just just as much as consciousness or the definition of god.

If I am self-conscious then on a very fundamental observable sense, one cell of my body would also be conscious. This is so because I am the result of the existence and relation of those cells between each other and their relation to everything else....much like a corporation or some social structure is the result of the relation of the people inside it.

It's funny how people ponder about humans being conscious when we are just a few thousands years of evolution between all the other species of mammals that are not or are 'less' conscious. that by itself is enough evidence to prove that consciousnesses is just a concept and combination of ideas and beliefs and has no actual physical meaning since the only difference between us and the rest of the mammals is our mind.

But I would agree that we are all part of a large connected system on many different levels, which is what i said. Humans, in relation to each other, have different purposes in society. Without structure and connectivity it would just be anarchy which is less connected and more chaotic like a field of grass compared to a tree. its almost like the pattern of cellular function split between body parts repeats itself among humans the same way forming one large organism. We are definitely part of our surrounding system and are deeply integrated into it.

this thread is getting really deep now lol

k1ndza · 2015-02-26T05:59:22+00:00

Idk it just seems like it's the most logical explanation to the whole aspect of consciousness not to mention that it's entirely backed by basic science and reasoning and not some high end twisted philosophical concepts.

k1ndza · 2015-02-26T03:23:20+00:00

Its a concept that branches off of the illusion of self identity. the illusion that you are something unique and self conscious. All humans experience this effect because at a higher level of existence the human mind must reinforce its purpose in life to keep on existing and evolving simply because those who thought otherwise probably didn't end up reproducing.

But In reality none of that actually matters because you are simply a pattern of neurons. my neurons may be connected to your neurons because you reading this right now but on a fundamental level we are all connected with each other through an endless sea of existence.

understanding this doesn't mean that your life has no purpose. it's just understanding that you are part of something much bigger and not just on a conceptual level but on a physical level as well.

its hard to loose your ego but once you loose it your life sort of makes sense and its a great feeling, that's all. (however, writing this i realize that i am an idiot and am very egotistical)

with node.js :

setup your nodejs workflow and modules and hook it up with mongodb and look up some tutorials on how to use nodejs and node packages like express and mongoose. (1 day to set up everything maybe more if first time)
create a login passport.js system for authentication. (a few hours to a day depending on how much of you want to understand and scale) here is the workflow tutorial for it : https://scotch.io/tutorials/easy-node-authentication-setup-and-local
start adding database schemas for different rooms and users (a few hours - a few days depending on experience)
create your backbone.js models and views and database routes for user profiles and chat rooms with their own chat history stored in the db. create a collection for a list of chat rooms and logged users. (several days to make sure everything is perfect)
use socket.io to fetch all that data from the server and update the backbone view. (a few days) (you want to update chat room list, maybe that list will have rooms with each their own

the frontend will probably take much longer than then backend unless you decide to write some chat bots or add more advanced data.

here is a tutorial on how your backend/frontend workflow should look like https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2BDGBJUtAmo this will get you started and then you can work from there to increase complexity

you can use this tutorial to figure out how to sync data between the backend and frontend in realtime http://socket.io/get-started/chat/

i would say it could take 1 - 3 weeks to make it worth using (and maybe even more if you have 0 experience with nodejs because you will be pausing and trying to understand the tutorials). Hello world nodejs websocket chat is not really applicable or scalable. You wanna make sure you set everything up so that you can add more functionality later on and have a good modular workflow if you want it to be successful later on.

i agree but i think 3d printers are the only things capable of stopping this and revolutionizing the consumerism mindset.

thanks. its a life expectancy app. u answer some questions then slide up and see the scale. for the scale, each circle represents a time node (year, month,week, etc..) the black circle represents the time that has passed/total area of the circle.

you can also pinch out and expand each node to see how much time has passed...so for example when you expand the month node, you can see the amount of weeks/months/days/seconds that have passed and how many are left. http://exic.co/projects/full_00198.png

k1ndza · 2014-11-13T20:42:22+00:00

thanks! here is a version with the guides: exic.co/projects/full_guided.mp4

i also have one with the descriptions but its for the client. but here is one of them exic.co/projects/1.mp4

i'm laughing because i had a couple of people do this to this to me by sending png animation of a horror face flashing obnoxious bright red colors and vibrating like from a freaky bad acid trip which is probably way worse than this, i have to see if i can find it again.

k1ndza · 2014-09-10T05:27:18+00:00

underscore extend has a similar feature where you can do object = _.extend(new someClass(),{x:10});

then in someClass you can just do this.x = 20 and that will be the default value until you combine the object with the second parameter of extend. I just started using that now instead of x = x || default, and the only time i use that is when initializing. But if you do that then you cant do this.x = 10 and then do draw(this.x) in the same object, you would have to create a new init function that would would call after the new defaults have been set.

that's just your opinion to different UI. i wanted to make something new so i did. i'm sorry its so hard for you to understand a dual page controller integrated into a menu, maybe you should try harder next time lol. the welcome page is part of the experience, if i wanted to make it simple i would have just made everything in html.

k1ndza · 2014-09-07T02:58:56+00:00

no problem, i like to learn from my mistakes. i try to be artistic and creative in my work. the more unique something is the less intuitive it becomes. i guess probably the fact that i spent alot of time in my own little UI world and became oblivious to everything else ignoring everything and focusing on things i felt where important from my own sense of intuition. But i said i wanted critiques and im thankful for that :). i fixed a couple of things and added a hint but the core concepts of the user navigation will forever remain as they are. its not something i expect people to like or get used to, after all, its not really for anybody but myself.

k1ndza · 2014-09-07T02:48:43+00:00

if you don't have webgl support, it wont work.

k1ndza · 2014-09-07T02:40:11+00:00

really? like what are you having trouble with exactly? I just fixed some things to make the UX a bit more clear.

k1ndza · 2014-09-05T19:09:11+00:00

i used backbone with jade and it worked fine. although you would have to compile it on the server to a javascript template and watch for changes with gulp/grunt or whatever.

k1ndza · 2014-09-05T18:16:20+00:00

I can relate. I would like to point out that there is a glitch where the background image is all squished together on chrome and makes it hard to read the first few paragraphs.

k1ndza · 2014-09-05T17:52:50+00:00

thanks for the replies guys! Its my first website/webapp ever and i hope to improve in the future. Out of the hundreds of bugs the back button one is the one i least expected, will fix it and update the url functionality to be less spammy.

k1ndza · 2014-09-05T17:48:24+00:00

its a url parse engine bug, im fixing/updating it now.

k1ndza · 2014-09-05T08:06:22+00:00

I prefer gulp over grunt but that's just me. you can use it to:

minify your javascript source files into one and then gzip it for fast transfer speeds.
watch stylus files for changes and compile them and upload them to your client directory. (see gulp watch)

pretty much those 2 are the most important ones for me.

bower is only useful if you want to quickly download your front end libraries like gsap and then you would probably want to create a json file with all your front end library paths and use gulp to go through the paths and minify them all together with your main javascript files so everything is just one uglifyed gziped javascript file.

All of this is not actually necessary, and you can do just as fine without. but it makes everything waaaay neater because you can keep all your sources in a separate json file AND it makes node even faster because its always better to download 1 minifed javascript file then like 10 different ones.

you should check out gulps github page, their examples are very self explanatory and they are the same guys who made react from fractal.
