Word-of-mouth might be marketing, but it's not something you can work towards. To get that you need a good fun game. IMO that's not a marketing effort, it's a symptom of a good unique game. I'm not a marketing expert tho

People use the word "graphics" and "sound" often, but that's not all that makes a game. So many indie "ugly" games work out just fine. It's all about the gameplay. You can make the graphics and the so

Honestly I feel that it has become more of a fame and dissimination thing than anything else. I've seen VIM portrayed as this holy grail of productivity for several years now, while Emacs has always been portrayed as a quirky complex e

I always see this expression being used as some kind of "live life to the fullest" context. Which is what I think is wrong. Never went after the etymology of it, interesting how it has nothing to do with "seize the day"

That's not exactly the purpose Stoics do that AFAIK. One of the objectives is to appreciate what you have right now and stopping this urge that we have in today's society to always get more. If you stop and really think about how

I tried using GUI tools with Git when I started but after I took the time to learn the core operations, using the CLI became a lot faster and less scary. After using other Atlassian products and being very disappointed, I can't even im

If you can use docker swarm you can use Kubernetes. At that point k8s is just plain better. The core of Kubernetes is super simple and all the hard parts are hidden away on actually setting up and maintaining kubernetes the hard way on bare

I didn't mean to imply you can't understand that because of being gay. I merely think sexual orientation changes the entire thing. The tension people feel comes from society and IMO that's very different when it's not th

I believe comparing murder to sexual harassment is plain misleading. If someone acuses someone else of murdering his neighbour they will have to go to all lenghts to prove it and it's a major moral line to cross. If someone acuses some

This is such a big problem that is almost always thrown under the rug with an "exception" label. Yes it's an exception but it's a possible life/career wrecking exception. If you look at it objectively, this entire s

I'd also add partners and gossip into the mix. It's very easy for a third party to see a man and a woman having regular workplace relationship and associate that with flirtation and even cheating. Of course this varies wildly in i

I'd have to agree with the parent post. They create things for the 99.9999% that don't care about privacy and will never touch those settings. When you leave that massive group, that's when bugs will be way more common. We co

Makes sense. It's the pressure from society to conform to it's standards, no matter how bad they are. Pisses me off when I go to a place that requires you to "check-in on facebook" to get wifi... Not much I can do about

You say "friendships" but I don't believe that's the exact word. Real friendships will continue to survive and thrive, as they did before Facebook, as long as both parties keep trying. If a "friend" of mine won

I've seen the Mustache site before, but let's be honest here: this only works if you live a frugal life style. It might work if you are alone with no attachments or your SO has the same views, but not for anyone else. I'm try

We very recently moved from some bare-metal pet machines into Google GKE and couldn't be happier. Honestly the hardest thing is keeping up with how fast Kubernetes evolves and gets better and better. The same goes for all Google servic

This "calories in, calories out" idea is dangerously wrong. I have problems with my weight and my wife is anorexic. We live day-to-day with the fight against obesity (for years) and that's hardly a rule, much less golden. The

And that's exactly my point. Why do they make less than the minimum wage? Why do laws allow it? Why are they treated as a "special case" instead of just having a set wage like all the other professions? I never meant to say w

Wholeheartedly agree. I feel like these numbers were just made up. Who decided 10% is good? or 20%? Why is it a percentage? This whole system is absurd to me. If we follow the same logic then why don't programmers get "tips"

Regarding 3 I believe it's matter of doing it sooner rather than later. You can pretend that things don't have a type, but it's a lie. The only thing that languages like JavaScript do differently is to hide the types of varia

Honestly I see this whole WhatsApp debacle as a big old scape goat. They're putting a big corporation on the spot so they can extort money from it, make people talk about this and ultimately it's just a means to keep spying on eve

Am I the only one that thinks people should be held responsible for their own choices? This argument is completely bogus. No driver in the nearby lanes is aware the other driver is drunk, a bad driver or emotionally unstable. The entire ide

Why is that a bad argument? It's a pragmatic approach which I believe to be A LOT BETTER than the status quo. Unfortunately people prefer the current way of implementing things: pretend to make everyone happy because people can't

So you write `el.innerHtml = "<div>stuff</div>";`? Can't remember the last time I did that. Probably back when I used PHP on my first internship. Don't you think it's a lot of added overhead rewriti
