As a 33 years old who's planning to return to education as soon as his wallet is comfortable enough to do so, I had similar doubts when I was thinking that I might be 38 or 40 the moment when I'll have to intern. I guess there&#x2

Would things like an eShop, knock-offs like game reviewing websites where a user can register to recommend and post reviews for videogames and a tumblr clone would qualify as practical?

I would say "wow, this is totally my case" if it weren't for the 5-10 minute breaks every hour to stretch. Then again, the game has a clock on the UI to check frequently (right above the map) so there's that.

The moment I finished reading OP's blog post I felt like I wrote it. However, for my case, I have some doubts about the ADHD claim. For starters, I managed to play a new videogame for unhealthy amounts of time the last 2 weeks with suc

I agree with most of what you said but what bothers me is that maybe we are the ones who are wrong. Why? Because the entire premise of your argument is boiled down to a stereotype the start-up culture tries to force down everyone's thr

Besides the "let's paste a quote that agrees with our point of view" cliché, Shaw claims that all progress depends on the unreasonable man, not that whatever unreasonable men can do is progressive. Big difference.

Personally, I always aim to be polite and I don't understand the reason why people believe that "argumentative" is necessarily a bad trait. Sure, it's bad if you argue for everyone and everything but doesn't this me

I don't think that there are many people who would even dare to suggest that Linus isn't rightly the leader. Also, just because trash code that doesn't compile is bad (because it is, no denying it) doesn't mean that we c

>Linus doesn't have to be put in his place, and if you don't like that tough luck. Actually, expecting a moderate appreciation of effort isn't by any stretch of the imagination "social expectation". Calling my co

You don't need scientific research to know that a good extensible, programmable editor that can become an extension of your mind and hands is going to make you more productive than Notepad. Sure you don't. You can feel the diffe

So he understands the reasons why people use proprietary software. Is that what you say?

Sure, but it took him a while to get to the stage of accepting what he considers "the lesser evil" (talking about Steam from his point of view).

Ah yes, the "joys" of analysis paralysis. It's a bloody pitfall that I know all too well and I'll have to get used to walk out of it on my own.

I also feel that I should avoid mentioning my years of depression (I wouldn't be using a secondary account if I wasn't). As for not fitting people's ideals... Come to think of it, there's no way to satisfy conditions tha

But that's not a personal attack. The comment also mentions speculations about "rejoice" when they opened the Facebook graph, after believing what the article says about FB's methods of data sharing without further questioning. Again: Quest

Opinions are opinions. They should be stated and treated as such. Let's not generalize and remind to ourselves that there's a difference between a well-formed opinion and an uninformed opinion and those two are not equal just because they
