Maybe I just couldn't find it, but it would be nice to see a template or example of what the parked page would look like.

A similar editor was made for the book Thing Explainer[1] by Randal Munroe from XKCD. A book that explains all kinds of different things, from space shuttles to microwaves using the top 1000 common English words.

I wouldn't even think of looking for a package that does something as simple as the ones mentioned. If I need to pad a string, my first thought would be to create a new function, not look for a package...

I feel we should be more productive and focus on finding a way for the owner to get a message to the monk instead of debating copyright...

Is this an event/meeting coming up? Or is it supposed to be all online. Can't really seem to get much information on "Practical Python for Astronomers" from the site. It may just be me missing something...

"OCR will not work properly on screenshots from non-Retina displays. They just don't have high enough resolution."

Not sure I understand why 1680x1050 is not a "high enough resolution"?

Would be nice to still have the Google search and recent tab thumbnails. Maybe just change the background of the new tab page instead. But still pretty neat!

While the site hasn't been updated since 2009 it seems, they still built some pretty awesome projects.

New comment by kf5jak in "TANX: online multiplayer tank battle using WebGL and Node.js"

kf5jak — Sat, 28 Mar 2015 01:28:07 +0000

Doesn't seem to be loading for me. Just the PlayCanvas logo. Not seeing any errors in JS console. Using Chrome Version 41.0.2272.104 (64-bit).

EDIT: Tried another game from playcanvas.com and I get a banner saying 'This page requires a browser that supports WebGL.' However, it is enabled.

This is just an FYI for the developer, but is probably just a problem on my end.
