If people know when the money will expire, they'll accept it at a lower and lower value as it approaches its expiration. Money that will expire tomorrow will be worthless. I think a better way would be to continually reduce all (digita

I was literally just starting to surf their dev pages to get back into some very light HTML game design. I don’t have nearly enough time to make an actual game with an actual game engine. But I’m a professional web developer so I can smack

>Similarly I would be interested in how the public opinion of Hitler changed. I read "They Thought They Were Free" by Milton Mayer to get a glimpse of an answer to this question for myself. Highly recommended.

Well since you asked, this idea has been banging in my head since I started be Mr. Teacher for my kids who're home from public school. I'll resist the urge to describe all the background a-ha moments, experiences, observations, et

I found Candide by Voltaire to be eye opening. I read a lot of philosophy and self help, which is a category you could put this book in to. Since it's fiction though, the message comes through more in the story than it does in the auth

This is a no-brainer. I am a health 46 year old male. I have a living will, do not resuscitate order, all my organs are to be donated, and the leftovers will go to my local medical college. If it were a part of a well organized medical stud

"There's no such thing as an independent 'observation'." It's not as if you can see macro objects without bouncing photons off them, either. Does this point have to do with QM specifically? At large enough scal

This reminds me of the modern take on ancient spiritual practices. “Deities are unfalsifisble lol. Also I’m kind of depressed and find life meaningless.” It feels like missing the forest for the trees. Or throwing the baby out with bath wat

It seems like every article like this can be summarized as: this experiment or analysis could indicate physics beyond the standard model, we ran the experiment or analysis, and we found nothing unexpected. At this point I find myself asking

What time is it. Where am I. What is my name. Where am I from. Who is my captain. Where have I come from. Where am I going to. This note in a bottle knows more about itself than I do.

I'm glad this resurfaced. The only thing I have in common with the author was that we both work in tech, but that doesn't have much to do with their story. It was so well written I couldn't put it down. I hope they're fe

I was hired into my first cubicle around 1999, doing asp classic web dev. I've gone off on some side tangents here and there, but have more or less been building web apps using MS technologies to this day. It's not them, it's

Is there a list of apps that are missing from the Windows Store that cause friction for Windows S? I see it often called a chicken and egg problem. But I never see anyone suggest a list of what they think the eggs are. (I don't think t

"There are any number of ways to fix this, and we'll work with Microsoft to find the best one..." It's refreshing to read actual engineers' writing. After this, going back to tear-jerking snark-filled twitter and me

Related question... Is early BASIC the best we could do with all of our modern programming experience? If we were teleported back in time, knowing everything we do now, what could we accomplish in the same hardware constraints, language des

One of the biggest hurdles for me is the inability to have arrays of structs. You have to have multiple arrays of atomic types, and keep the indexes in synch. Maybe that's not a problem here. I collect old basic books and enjoy the nos

Tonight I'm wrestling with if and how to argue with someone. And then I read this. "In other words, this bug can't do anything by stirring its local surroundings. It might as well wait for things to diffuse, either in or out.

This was a no brainer. Only 32 signatures? We engineers can do better!

You're right. I sent Mozilla $5 this year just for doing what they already do. Kickstart this and they'd get millions, I'd guess.

I have an idea. What if people who like Linus' style work together. And people who like Eisenberg's style work together. And then they leave each other alone?

I especially appreciate that it renders very cleanly at all point sizes in Windows Cleartype. A lot of fonts look fine at 12pt but then have odd jagged pixels at other sizes. Two cents: the double quote is a little anemic compared to the ot
