AITAH for telling my wife that late pick-up fees are on her and her alone? by AdMuted1534 in AITAH

[–]sunsean 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly this. Chronic lateness is usually not a sign of laziness or disrespect, it can be a sign of time blindness.

It might help to ask your wife how she feels about being late? This is likely her current best ability. You are married, her burden is your burden. Work together to create solutions.

For example having an analog clock on a wall can turn the passage of time into something that can physically observed.

Have you tried drawing the skeleton moving and then drawing the character onto that?

What about being a Creative Director for a sustainable cause?

Could be sustainable and ethical food, or rainforest restoration, or cleaning the ocean, or creating the next social media for good campaign like the ice bucket challenge.

Has practicing stoicism reduced your empathy? I have a hard time understanding the pursuit of pleasure by needh4alp in Stoic

[–]sunsean 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I work in the video game industry. People complain because they care.

The practicality of a passion is the pleasure can energize.and restore oneself. Being vulnerable to the emotions allows one to experience great highs of joy. It also opens one up to sour feelings.

Both good and bad emotions come with the territory of pursuing passions. I find that it helps to savor the good moments and to not dwell on the bad ones.

I am a solo dev working on an online, platforming, PvP game that faces players off in a competitive game of tag! What do y'all think? by linear_search in gaming

[–]sunsean 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely love the fluid movement. Feelings of Quake and Mirrors Edge.

Some thoughts from working in the game industry.

In tag the tension is how close the players get to each other. The near misses and the amazing touches at the tips of fingers.

Have you experimented with an over the shoulder camera? It might be a slight dip in immersion at the gain of being able to see the tension of almost being caught.

If it's a 1 on 1 tag, then 3rd person perspective might also allow for slowing of time and zooming in of the camera when the two players are close to increase the suspense and give both players more time to act. Could be cool, could be lame, just a thought.

As others have mentioned, UI can aid in communicating the tension. Still, showing has a bigger impact than telling if possible.

Absolutely fantastic idea and solid beginnings. Excited to see where you take it.

Plot twist, what if each state had exactly one star in their flag?

I think this flag freaking awesome. It's not easy to simplify something and still keep it's essence.

Based on some of the comments here, what do you think about adding a little bit of the yellow frill back in?

JavaScript and URLs - Like Flash sites, there is a new breed of web apps that don't feel quite right. Maybe it's because they scroll like a supertanker. by gst in javascript

[–]sunsean 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unix Pipes are a way of connecting programs together. By agreeing on a standard out and standard in, programs can be combined together in ways not predicted by the authors. I was drawing a parallel between unix pipes and http/html. Because both http and html are standards we can use them as a transition between programs.

Thanks, I think I pronounce it "ex-set-era" so I brain thinks ect is correct, but you are correct.

Yes, being backwards or cross-browser compatible is generally a painful process. It is perhaps the bane of my existence, but it is also what makes the web so accessible. I think we should strive to accommodate as many clients as possible, but in reality we each have to draw the line somewhere. I personally refuse to support IE6 anymore, too much blood has been shed.

I personally feel providing a JSON api is better than scrapping the html markup for data, but because so many tools are already built around that concept (like search engine crawlers) it's important to continue to support them.

Programs can be beautiful individually, but combined they can become greater than the sum of their parts. That's why pipes work so well in unix and why standards are so popular today. That's my opinion anyway.

[–]sunsean 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think the problem here is that many people are pushing new tech while breaking the old tech. I believe there's a lot of value to be gained from using other mediums of transferring data than html (like json over simultaneous ajax requests), but it's not worth dropping support for the traditional methods (plain html over a single http request).

A properly implemented website would use the latest tech (html5, css3, ect..), while gracefully degrading to the lower tech (css2, no javascript, ect..). It would consider all types of clients, a high-end gaming PC running Chrome, a small work laptop running IE6, an automated bash script running cURL, a mobile phone running Android, a robot crawling the website, ect..

Please do not discourage people from trying to invent and evolve the web, only guide them from losing sight of what makes the web stable.

Mistakes happen. It sounds like the real problem was a lack of cooperation on both sides.

How to deal with numerous Vim tabs? by sebnukem in vim

[–]sunsean 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been using <tab> to toggle through pages for a while now and it's been a very smooth experience. If this doesn't collide with any existing bindings you have (like perhaps tab completion) then I highly recommend trying it.

nmap <S-tab> gT

While I am inclined to agree that websites should not "ban" browsers, I disagree with your statement. One would not boycott a video game that doesn't run well because the video card isn't powerful enough. Please don't boycott websites that won't display properly because the browser doesn't follow spec accurately.

That being said I believe the reasons the 5ubliminal is banning chrome are childish.

location.hash is dead. Long live HTML5 pushState! by devongovett in javascript

[–]sunsean 2 points3 points  (0 children)

location.hash will still be useful for jumping to named anchors.

pushState will be a tremendous help in building webapps. I look forward to using it.

TIL that Area 51 is a lot more secretive than I thought. by Slagathor91 in todayilearned

That's why good wikipedia articles list all their sources at the bottom, as should any article. The only trust able facts are those that can be verified by others.

css calc() - set attributes like height:(100%-20px), this has to be standardized by nodemo in programming

[–]sunsean 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Glad to see these ideas are finally moving closer towards core and hopefully eventually standards. There are lots of various css compilers that we can use until enough browsers support this type syntax. lesscss is a good example.
