More of the same is definitely something people want sometimes -- but other people want something new (or more-of-the-same of something else that hasn't been done as much, e.g. a sequel in a smaller series). The article is about (among

That's... not an argument I've heard before, but I suppose it does follow. At that point the issue becomes the question of whether anyone feels it's worth the effort of pursuing the issue in court. If Spotify wins this one, t

Even Nintendo has been willing to lean back on its cash-cows lately -- Mario (platformers, Party, and Kart) and Pokemon get minimal-change frequent-releases, Kirby's been static even by its own standards for the last few years, lots of

There is an argument to be made that, since Apple is fairly restrictive of what software can be made for their platforms, Apple has a monopoly on... software for Apple devices? App stores for Apple devices? Something of that sort. It is dif

Common Lisp also uses car. But looking at source of https://github.com/digego/extempore , yeah, Scheme.

Yes? 2D art is useful in both 2D and 3D games (billboard sprites, UI, textures).

That's called a "company town", or well on the way to it. Not sure I want to encourage Facebook trying to become its own municipality.

I go for a heap of plugins but don't remap the things that start off built-in, so I get the muscle-memory for the defaults when I need a remote shell somewhere, but still the useful plugins on my own computer.

An evolutionary perspective is the wrong perspective; there exist plenty of cultures where bugs are not considered disgusting.

Only if they could somehow gain access to things which are illegal to buy, without buying them. So even if this works, that would mean the only companies that could use that to prevent hostile takeovers are the ones where someone involved i

Lack of edits is an important anti-abuse feature. If you can edit a tweet, you can make a tweet saying one thing, and then edit it to say something entirely different after someone else retweets, links, or embeds it elsewhere.. (Though fran

Yes, of course. I keep my receipts, and when my statement comes in I compare one to the other. That plus everything else I do that could qualify as "accounting" (except tax returns) comes in at probably less than half an hour per

One good example of this: Space Invaders was, AFAIK, the first game to feature escalating difficulty over time (because the aliens speed up the more of them you shoot). This wasn't originally part of the design; the system just couldn&

Enh. I don't think anyone's arguing for a "magic wand" that would remove money from the top without distributing it somewhere -- the idea is generally that some of the money going to the top should instead go to somewher

No matter how fast you run for the horizon, it stays well out of reach.

Some charities are food-shelter-water. Other charities are, for example, medical or legal aid for particularly burdened communities. And even for food-shelter-water you need someone deciding where to dig the wells, what to stock on the shel

Then you could dispute the ticket, and presumably the fact that it's being towed would be visible in the photo.

Unless your skills happen to be those that a charity could make good use of. Someone has to do the work in the end.

If it's not a coherent sentence, that would tend to be a hint. There are other explanations, admittedly.

It could potentially share the backend -- track only those people who are on the free version, but keep everyone on one network. Also, no. Social media existed before the current big general-purpose networks. See Usenet, email lists, IRC, f

There's games that only work handheld (because of the touchscreen), though. Removing the ability to dock (without removing the ability to connect more controllers) doesn't split the library the same way removing the non-docked mod

Hiding things with unchecked checkboxes, at least, can be done entirely in simple CSS. .optional { display: none; } input:checked ~ .optional { display: inherit; }

Can't help noticing that the author's daily schedule, for all that he's extolling the virtues of planning things out and making sure to get enough leisure time, end up at 6.5 hours of sleep a day. Yeah, I guess that works.

I, too, want this -- I mostly listen to game soundtracks, and sometimes two tracks according to the OST (or the unofficial rip) really felt like one in the game, from when they played. Other times I really do just want to specifically play

Being in prison is fundamentally coercive, so "optional" is not easy to get, and it's compensated as little as the prisons can get away with (because, again, the prisoners not in a position to negotiate). This produces a perv

It's superior only until you want to do something that does actually need JS - sometimes "go somewhere more sensible" isn't an option when you actually need to do something specific (e.g. buy an Amtrak ticket).

You'd have to get there through gradient descent, though. A pile of dark-chocolate chips is quite good, but a "cookie" that is a pile of chips baked with a small but nonzero amount of butter, flour, and baking soda... isn&#x2
