I totally agree with you. Once you're registered and using the site I do provide the entire recipe on a single page. Then when you're ready to cook it goes into the single step by step mode. For the demo page I was trying to show off the step by step mode and didn't even think about how that would come across. I'll have a rethink of how I display the demo. Thanks!


Cool, good luck with the project!


I believe you should have read the article. It discusses $30 million in lost sales due to the packaging redesign. It was not talking about the costs to do the redesign.


It is mentioned in the article though:

"But why did it fail? How does a $35 million rebranding project fail?"


“It” here is the title, which is not talking about the cost to implement the redesign, only the lost sales. That the cost to implement the redesign is mentioned in one sentence, within an article devoted to explaining why the redesign failed, does not keep the top-level comment from being misaimed. Its clear the commenter is responding to a mistaken belief about the topic of the article (which he says he didnt read).

The scientists at the IceCube Neutrino Detector are currently doing an AMA on reddit[0] for those interested.

I've gotta post the obligatory Ken Thompson hacking the compiler story

Scrimba is a really neat idea. Would you mind going over its architecture and your plan for future language support?


Sure!

The basic idea behind Scrimba is that we record events instead of pixels. So what you're seeing when you're watching a Scrimba screencast is simply a re-creation of what the creator did when creating the screencast (which is done in-browser).

Even the interactions with the live preview are recorder, through a DOM-recorder we've built.

This opens up for tons of possibilities, including enabling the viewer to interact with the code.

We will add support for server side languages (e.g. Python, Ruby, Node) in the future. However, it's not at the top of our list, as there are several core things we need to fix. Once we have a timeline for that, it'll surely be shared on our Gitter channel:

https://gitter.im/scrimba_community/Lobby?utm_source=share-l...

Next up on our feature list is to make the creation process a lot easier, by enabling the creator to edit the recording after it's done. Will likely be launched next week :)


This is a super cool idea really well executed. I wish this existed when I was learning to program.


It really does sound like a woodpecker. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aOMVdOc9UbE


That sounds oddly familiar, but i was just a kid when this thing was decommissioned.


Interesting that irrigation is the largest use of water at ~60%, but livestock and industrial are only 0.5% and 1.5% respectively. I would have thought livestock and industrial use would be larger. Is this distribution of water common in other states?


Probably not. Agriculture in the western US relies on irrigation due to water scarcity, but places like Iowa have the opposite problem. They actually shunt water off of their fields. Also, losses of agricultural water due to evapotranspiration are higher in CA than in a state like WA due to the hotter, drier climate in CA.


It would have been neat if the back tracked it. Water used to grow feed for cattle should have been attributed to livestock not corn/hay..


Grass or grazing and hay and grain for feed are irrigated.


Nvidia limits multiple monitors on their consumer cards to 2 monitors and 1 gpu or 2 gpus and 3 monitors in an surround (SLI) setup.

For their professional series of gpus they offer premium mosaic which allows up to 4 monitors on a single card[1].

AMD allows up to 6 monitors on a single consumer card with Eyefinity[2].

Of course through the use of splitters and multiple cards it's possible to attach more monitors. I've personally setup a 12 display system off a single card. There are of course performance limitations when you only have one gpu and a large grouped display.

For what it's worth I've had an easier time setting up multiple monitors in Linux then I have on Windows.

I loved reading that and interacting with the plots. It totally changes the dynamic of learning when you can interact and play with it in real time.
