It is! UofT Comp Eng.


Color works quite well, the white was purely an aesthetic choice.

I haven't tried out the camera, but hypothetically should work.


I've been wanting to take on this project with a window since I saw it in Iron Man. Congrats on actually getting something off the ground!


The other end of the USB cable and tinkering through that is usually enough. But definitely nice to have non-permanent adhesive.


I used these recently to hang a ~20lb whiteboard -- They're incredibly sturdy:

You can find adhesive velcro at craft stores, it would probably be a pretty good option if you need to remove it occasionally.


Some mirrors may have a thin enough back coating for light to shine through, but the two-way is ideal.


Interesting. I'd wondered about an inflection point in my graph as well, but in the opposite direction.

Our average rating has been climbing much faster since Dec 10.

Looks like this feature is influential, but not necessarily negative.


It looks like a Rorschach test. I guess thats not an answer you're allowed to give on rorschach tests.


The repo contains the bin folder, which has the .apk checked in. https://github.com/mparramont/metafilter-for-android/blob/ma...

You can install for free as fast as paid. Is the point to pay out of goodwill, or should a little more hassle be introduced?


Didn't think about that, thanks! I'll consider removing it from there.


I understand the missing square puzzle with the triangles (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Missing_square_puzzle) but I'd be interested to see how Freer's puzzle works.

I'm having trouble finding Peter Tappan's "FuTILE Subtraction" from the citation


Look at the video after he's taken the pieces out of the frame and reassembled them on the table—say, at 1m20s (http://youtu.be/_LY7mf49l5k?t=1m20s or screen shot here: http://imgur.com/GgxONLV). He's kept the two reassembled halves separate.

Look at the diagonal edges of the halves. They don't match up! I've put them together in Photoshop to make it clear: http://imgur.com/gsP6AxG When you put the two halves together, you don't get full cells. You get a crazy mishmash, because the height of one of the halves has been increased by 3/7ths of a cell-height. He replaced some pieces when he flipped the frame over.


You can also see mismatches on the egg one. There's enough extra egg tacked on to each egg in the "hole" picture to allow another egg to be created.


The largest plan has 9 collaborators, which seems rather prohibitive.

As a dev I often had to tweak my designer's assets. For example, fixing the 9-patching for Android or removing bad whitespace. Could I offer these changes in a pull request?


Hi hannah, We'll work with you if you have larger needs. Please get in touch: hello@pixelapse.com

With regards to changes made to assets, they sync automatically between your machine and your designer's.


I wonder how Etsy defines "most success" in the teams of zero or two women.

I'm a female dev and I don't feel weird on all male teams. Just another team member. But I did feel singled out when the other female developer and I were mostly assigned to work together.

Not that I don't love working with other ladies, but making it any kind of policy makes me feel more segregated than included.


> I'm a female dev and I don't feel weird on all male teams. Just another team member. But I did feel singled out when the other female developer and I were mostly assigned to work together.

Could it have been to make her feel more comfortable? With certain jobs I've had, my male co-workers would communicate differently with the other males than they would with me. Sometimes they'd talk to me like I was removing my training wheels, other times more formally, and other times less seriously. This changes with time (well, okay, not sometimes), but that was the initial approach.


I remember one manager who did that as a matter of policy to save on the sexual harassment suits. He didn't trust his male engineers. It was a "see how many stereotypes we believe true" type of situation.
