You're excluding the comments which would be actual code to handle the very different events which all result in failure. Also, arguable only the first case would be something you'd want to throw an exception in a language which

I was speaking more about longer distances than just 45 minutes. The initial proposal seems to be more about longer distance traveling over daily commutes. My experience with bus trips is them being 30% to 60% longer travel times for more

I think US's opinions about public transportation is based on rational comparison. Taking the bus takes more time than taking a car, and is a less desirable environment. Our train system is optimized for freight, and has no cost or t

Weird coincidence. The password system had checksum variables so that it would be very unlikely for a password someone enters to be valid. However Justin Bailey just happens to succeed that checksum and also the game thinks it's a valid p

No, those who care about service will switch to google fiber. Then Comcast will see that the number of complaints about their service is decreasing, and go on to praise their employees. For now companies which should be scared of Google

Two other points to consider: Atmosphere is slowing you down as you go up as well, so lift off requires fighting that as well. Therefore the energy you've expended is not entirely stored in potential energy. (Fun fact: If it weren't for

I honestly don't understand DRM in html specs. Most people use open source browsers. To crack the "DRM" all you would need to do is open up the source code and slightly modify it. DRM only works when either the client side code hasn't be

Python doesn't do any parallel computation. Go does it very well. I honestly don't know how to do parallel computation in C or C++, but I doubt it's very easy. Slower code can run faster overall if you have multiple processors, so pure p

While the technology is coming and I can't wait when they're commonplace, I think it says something when the models shown next to printers aren't practical objects. Many people like these trinkets, but I'm waiting to see stuff which is mor

It's precedent that Google is willing to take down a popular service in order to push other goals.

I must disagree. It's a sign things are changing, not that they have changed. I dual boot, and while I highly prefer my linux side, there are a handful of programs which keep me in windows most of the time. Steam was one of them, Netfli

Another theory other than sbov's theory is that there is calculation done on the server side, but only for cities in a region not currently being played. As long as someone is playing in a region, the other cities are basically on rails, s

I would think by trends a gamer is more likely to a more technical person. I love linux but frankly I know many people who can barely use a mac, and linux is beyond their technical capabilities without much learning. So I'd currently gues

The employees work on the projects they want to work on. Portal 2 happened because Portal 1 came out, and a lot of people in Valve wanted to do a Portal game. I would've be surprised if there is a small number of people working on the ear

Ox10^c sounds like a game where Notch went "Ok, I have money and a fanbase which will pay attention if I make an obscure game, what game do I really want to play but wouldn't get approved in a million years by a publisher."

Once you've made a game engine with the ability to port, it's easier to port a second time. Steam is (was?) just a store, nothing stopped people from porting to mac before steam went to it, and little more incentive was there after, especi

I can think of two specific examples where breaking the rules of probability resulted in better player experience: In tf2, you randomly get weapon drops, up to a limit per week. The initial obvious solution was to randomly roll if they g

I also haven't played Triple Town, but I want to note there are multiple ways to go about free to play. I love the model Valve does with TF2. A player will be able to unlock a large amount of weapons through achievements and drops without

Unfortunately when a website is built with the requirement to support as many people as it can, even 2% will cause things which make incompatibilities to be taken off the table.
