One of the challenges I saw with Archaeopteryx : programmers got so excited about the code side of it, they distracted me from the actual instrumentalist aspect.
This is awesome. And so is this . But so is this:

Another brilliant presentation from Bret Victor. The spirit of Xerox Parc remains alive, and then some; he transfers, to animation, the machine control as performance dynamic which characterizes DJing . Very highly recommended.

It's a leftfield drum and bass track with an indie rock feel to it.
Probably very influenced (unintentionally) by this Diiv song .
I saw several blog posts with inaccurate code for a 'hello world' in Ember. Here's code which actually works:
Loading this file gets you an "index" (default) view with a "hi" link, and clicking that link gets you to "hello world!".
I'm a little embarrassed about 'index' as a naming choice, because it's a bad habit, but I got it from the framework. Ember uses 'index' to mean 'default view,' the same way Rails…

In other words, I sold at the height of a bubble. Lucky me. But the answer is not just luck. The answer is shell-scripting the web.
Two years ago, I wrote a simple Ruby script to screen-scrape …
