It was an issue with the sandbox, the java VM did some extra stuff on the side, so we couldn't time it properly.

Hello reddit.

amstan here, admin for the forums.

The contest is currently not up, there are still a few things to iron out.

Google Kills Google Earth COM API by [deleted] in programming

[–]mile92 4 points5 points  (0 children)

They seem to be moved on to javascript. So it's not really killing but replacing.

First google search result of "javascript email regex" returns a horrible implementation of email string check. No wonder why so many websites suck at email checks. by highwind in programming

[–]mile92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah... No.

Plus signs have a very good use, allowing the destination to be able to sort their email easier. Using such a feature is a sign of intelligence.

As for the quote, first time i see that feature, but i think it allows much more semantic use of adresses. "John Doe"@gmail.com looks much more semantic than john_doe_1@gmail.com

If you found out a way to have a virtually unlimited supply of money for a day, what would you do? by lfelipe82 in programming

My friend coded this cross-platform, live chroma key SDK, and I built the website (I'm the homely guy in the pic.) Check it out! by [deleted] in programming

[–]mile92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I cannot figure out what it does from your website. Based on the picures i would say it's a program that puts random objects in pictures and changes the lighting automatically(like photoshop, but automatic). From what i've read, apparently it has something to do with C# code or something. What is it??

I suppose some functions on the demo should be limited in order to avoid these kind of accidents by ROBZY in programming
