I went to high school with the sales clerk, Ivana Miličević. It's always weird to see her in stuff.

If you've read Ted Chiang's "Understand," you'll understand why this headline made my eyes pop out. For those who haven't, it's in the "Stories of Your Life and Others" collection, which include

So, if I understand correctly, the goal is to enjoy dying thousands of times? Or, to give up and read online how to play? Or some of both?

Quick question - why hasn't someone 51 percent attacked Satoshi's wallets? Estimated cost of a 51% attack on Bitcoin, if no one is cooperating, is $6 billion to $10 billion. Surely the cost goes down if they get some big players t

Sorry for the tangent - does anyone have some really zoomed in views of GB, GBColor, GBA screens in operation? I'd love for retro shaders to be able to more faithfully reproduce. I mean, ideally, we'd run different color test pat

Have you heard of the term, "bury the lede"? I'd love to see an opening paragraph like this one: "All discovered vulnerabilities have already been patched. We waited to publish this article until they were. Release 8.0

EDIT: Looks like they did responsibly disclose - that's nice. I missed the single line at the bottom of the article. I'd prefer if an article like this opened with a paragraph about their conversation with the maintainers, and h

I don't want to design anything in any UI. I want to use a game engine as a library. I'm curious, as a primarily C# developer, how do you feel about Godot, in this respect?

Don't do the "noise" thing this web page does. It hurts my eyes so bad. Why would you purposefully make your page look like a low-quality JPG?

And I just taught Claude to read the Discussion notes on a page, and to make updates to the page accordingly...

I'm like, "Here's all of the obituaries," and Claude is like, "I'll make all the pages of all of the people and link them together." Pretty neat.

For anyone who thinks diff / merge should be better - try Beyond Compare from Scooter Software.

I hear there's no legislation called "Protecting Unified Monetary Products & Distributing Usury Monetary Profits." In this new legislation, some stocks will not be associated with any corporations. There will be no repor

Amazing. I'm building almost the exact same thing. I'll share mine when it's mature enough. :D

I think the best analogy for Google is that it's like being accepted at a University. And they think it's going to take you a while to declare your major. You may not like your weeder classes. You may not like your first few pr

In my hiring process, I interviewed with multiple managers. I picked my favorite, and I ended up working for him. It didn't work out. Within a few weeks I was working for a new manager. And frankly, I've never once worked for a

"Every review I hear about working at Google makes me want to stay away" I loved working there. Sure, who your boss is has a huge impact on your happiness. I ended up with a boss I enjoyed working for. Does that review make you

I used to work at Google as well, and frankly I was so abstracted from all of this that it's absurd. It's like finally reading how my car is an "intern-al comb-usti-on eng-ine" whatever that means.

On some things, yes, very much so. I'll just use my Facebook browser on my Facebook phone running Facebook Operating System to Facebook search for job openings where I can post my resume that I wrote in Facebook Docs, and hope the recr

It's table stakes for a company to know how to do social integration. Not all products that a company offers need social integration.

I'm okay with people believing G+ is dead if they want to. But this is a news article concluding G+ is dead, based on stated arguments. Except the arguments are lousy. Lousy journalism is bad for everyone.

Knowing who you are, knowing you you like to Follow, knowing who you like to share with, those are "table stakes," to use your term. Google didn't know who you were, who you followed, who you shared with, and so Google+ loo

In Search, I see results I personally +1d. I also see blog posts from friends in my Circles. In Maps, I see reviews of places written by my friends. I rarely share YouTube videos publicly. Most of my videos are shared privately with Circl

I upload photos to Google. I want to chose who I share them with, that's Google+'s Circles. I also upload videos, create documents, write blog posts, etc. If I couldn't chose who I share those things with, I wouldn't be

I used to work at Google, as stated in the last line of the article. I'm not getting any information from Googlers that isn't publicly visible.

Is "security" your first priority, or is adding features your first priority? How about uptime? How about profitability? Only one of those can be your first priority, so which is it? I think Google+ is also one of their first pr

Let me be very clear: Anyone is welcome to conclude that Google+ is dead. Facebook still exists as a company. You personally don't use it. You don't like the font. Whatever... I don't think it's dead. I use Google+
