There are numerous justifications for avoiding connecting most smart TVs to the internet, so that's reasonable. None of ours get connected either. Play a Blu-ray on an Xbox or laptop connected to the TV instead of your bad player, it

We have very different lists of constraints that forced us to reason towards different optimizations. Unless your aims change drastically before launch, I don't think there's much risk that our projects would be highly redundant.

That's good to hear. Off-street areas do have their own cost as well which doesn't sound included in that, but there are other ways to optimize those which can depend to some extent on the designer feature set. Gah, it's so

Tribes 1 was where it was at. So much fun at LAN parties. The Tribes sequels only got worse, in my opinion. They were just clinging on to what made Tribes great, but kept losing something every iteration.

mIRC scripting was great. The first real useful script I wrote connected to babelfish.altavista.com with raw sockets around the time that came out and would scrape the HTML results from queries for realtime chat translation. Their backend

The post title immediately had me excited, because between the looming threat of dangerously fragmenting perspectives on truth and the fundamentals of automated artificial reasoning oriented towards meaning relevant to real world problems,

I'd strongly question having confidence in the wide applicability of the results in respect to class or wealth, much less loneliness which one would guess skews higher than a random sample due to their data source being Mechanical Turk

Here are a few thoughts: #1 Content saturation is a slow moving train and higher quality content just has a slower race to "free" than other content. To combat free, you need to control the content. Netflix had to aggressively r

Using quantity like this to prop up your reasoning and discounting the contributions of someone outside of a field both weaken the strength of your conclusions, unfortunately.

Something could go wrong with any of those and cameras can be pretty light these days since we put them in doorbells, so I doubt they're sweating it when there are multiple potential benefits to having it there. :) Curiosity weighed al

Definitely agree with a few of the suggestions in the article. Personally, the mobile-first UI changes they made a long time ago with new Reddit were so tragically bad that you could almost consider them a canary. My Reddit usage dropped

I had looked into those claims around the Central Park Five last year that have since been repeated in Netflix documentaries and on news segments, carefully reading the ad itself. Didn't see strong evidence that the ad was racist as c

I guess that doesn't surprise me too much for a sim, though the future of racing games may be the other way around. Some of the most loved tracks in racing games are fantasy ones where you have full control to iterate on the experienc

Never had more than a passing interest in IndyCar or NASCAR races, but I remember enjoying both of those on a 486 DX with the turbo button on the case when I was a kid. Links: The Challenge of Golf was another one. Daytona USA was released

You are making a very large assumption about what types of work people are willing to do and dangerously that losing these opportunities is predetermined as an advantage for the US. Making strong statements like that and then ridiculing an

Same way we draw the lines between risk and reward in everyday life while still managing to function. Doing that with software can be a little less intuitive than stubbing your toe and learning from the pain, but it ends up not being that

That only applies to the password, but the password wasn't really the concern. If you're signed in (no matter how you signed in), a modified browser has the same access to your account that you do with creative possibilities for

It wouldn't matter how you signed in for potential abuse to occur if the app itself is untrusted, unfortunately. The repository doesn't include all of the code that gets included in the app, because it has dependencies. It links

This was the first thing I noticed as well. It was always somewhat alienating when encountering newer formats that were less friendly than what came before. I think TOML does a good job of taking what came before and bringing it forward.

It's probably unwise in this case to transplant one argument for another and then make a decision about one based on the other instead of assessing them independently. ICE is not ISIS. Illegal immigration is illegal just about everyw

That can be an issue, but also if you're streaming then you're probably doing so in landscape and having your display configured in portrait just seems so much more productive. You can compensate by having a much higher resolution
