I'm not sure why it's relevant that you're 2 front end developers? Literally anyone can learn how to program.


"Literally anyone can learn how to program" - really, was that necessary? Of course "anyone" can be come a chemical engineer, accountant, etc.. pick whatever field you choose. The obvious point they're trying to make is that they're probably new to backend development and want to showcase something they've made.

Anyway, I think this looks pretty clean, so kudos and keep up the work! I envy good designers because I can't seem to create up with any decent front end on my own.


>This is my first startup! If you think this is cool, spread the word!

This seems more like a personal project than a startup, but nonetheless I wish you luck.


Can you please explain how Apple was the last to hold out for those of us who are ignorant on WebGL.


Mozilla were the first to implement (Vladimir Vukićević’s work) with Opera around about the same time. Chrome jumped on board a few years later, and IE as of version 11. Apple was the holdout for basically unknown reasons (they’ve had a working version preffed off for ~5 years now) but the basic assumption is that graphics card drivers needed to be hardened to provide a secure execution environment for shaders. It’s one thing to buy a game and give it root, quite another to load a webpage that could start a WebGL process in the background and load executable code onto the graphics card.


Security is definitely the likely candidate (it was for Microsoft as well): even on Yosemite, where they enabled WebGL by default, there's a per-site permissions interface similar to things like location services access.


They only recently added support on iOS devices: http://caniuse.com/#feat=webgl


It was disabled by default on desktop before Yosemite too.


I guess I fail to see what would differentiate between a father/mother. Like why does any option make a difference?


Mothers breastfeed. Companies need to have places for mothers to breast feed children, of for mothers to pump breast milk.

Mothers sometimes have complications during birth. This can cause considerable physical difficulty in the following months. Here's some advice about recovery after c-section. http://www.nhs.uk/Conditions/Caesarean-section/Pages/Recover...

This post was written by a female parent. We call those "mothers". If it had been written by a male parent it would have used the word "father".

There is currently a gender imbalance and so posts from people who are not male have some interest.


Statistics and surveys consistently tell us that fathers invest much less time in their newborns than mothers, so unless you've only ever met outliers, it's a bit silly to pretend there's no difference.


Can you just install JDK8 and select 1.7?


While the article is good, the title is really bad for people who don't stay current on this stuff since there is more than one Nobel Prize and people may just read the headline :(


>students don't know how to use man pages >fix the programs not the students

ok pal.
