Use one of these techniques to install node and npm without having to sudo. Discussed in more detail at http://joyeur.com/2010/12/10/installing-node-and-npm/ Note: npm >=0.3 is *safer* when using sudo.
echo 'export PATH=$HOME/local/bin:$PATH' >> ~/.bashrc
. ~/.bashrc
mkdir ~/local
mkdir ~/node-latest-install
cd ~/node-latest-install
curl http://nodejs.org/dist/node-latest.tar.gz | tar xz --strip-components=1
./configure --prefix=~/local
make install # ok, fine, this step probably takes more than 30 seconds...

Using promises in a UI context

The scenario:

  • We are writing a digital textbook-reading app.
  • Most of the time you have a "basic" license for your textbook, but one (and only one) of your computers can request an "enhanced" license.
  • You can only print from the computer with the enhanced license.

The problem statement:

High level style in javascript.

Opinions are like assholes, every one has got one.

This one is mine.

Punctuation: who cares?

Punctuation is a bikeshed. Put your semicolons, whitespace, and commas where you like them.

Skeletal animation in JavaScript

Here is a sketch of how one might go about doing skeletal animation in JavaScript, broken down into different npm modules that would need to be written:

  • A BVH to JSON converter.
    BVH is a standard format for representing skeletal animation, there is tons of data in the format, and many tools can consume/produce it. So getting things working in this space is priority #1. I think the best way to tackle this problem would be to write a simple module that takes a stream, and produce a JSON object that exactly represents the HIERARCHY and MOTION sections of a BVH file, along with some serialize method that can produce the same output.
  • A simple animation viewer. Outside voxel.js, we should probably have a stick figure animation viewer. this could be done in THREE.js using wires to draw each of the joints.
  • A motion tweening module Or basically some method to interpolate between per-frame motions. This is necessary to perform
