Nice. How are people doing this? Are they reverse engineering Minecraft or is the server side fairly straightforward?

Her tweet is appropriate and mild. "Not cool" is the right response. But they lose their jobs? Huge overreaction by that company. This pastbin piece is an attack on HER however. "She's setting back women's rights!" Also a huge overreact

Tools programmers for games are in demand. If you ever need to work for the man to pay rent you'll be okay. Realize most people, probably 99%, just go to work ever day. That's it. They aren't revolutionizing industries, they aren't creat

Sounds like a herniated disc in your neck. Given the time frame it seems stable -- but the only way to fix it is probably years of difficult physiotherapy or surgery (and then physiotherapy).

You might enjoy Tron Uprising, the Disney cartoon, as a modern take on Tron. Brilliant sound and art design and the story makes more sense since taking place only in universe.

One approach that has been more successful and easier to integrate than machine learning is Monte Carlo based systems. That's what the latest Go AIs use and they are making big strides. It's powers various card game AIs, here's the develop
