I have two kids (<10 years old) who have little to no restrictions on screen toys. My router disables the internet on their devices (iPads, kindles, 3dses, Roku in bedroom) at 7pm on school nights, and there is a strict no-screens policy

What if the Nazi's work is unaffected by his or her personal beliefs, but the knowledge that they are working alongside a Nazi is affecting everyone else? Should the company fire everyone else or is it OK to fire the Nazi?

My only computer is a Macbook Pro running Arch Linux (which is my ideal setup for getting work done). In general it struggles to achieve unplayably low framerates in the small selection of games that even run on Linux. Given that I want to

Essentially, the simpleton is treating your previous move as either a reward or punishment. If you cooperated, then the simpleton thinks the thing it did last time must have been good and does it again. If you cheated, the simpleton thinks

I spent some time a while ago developing my own system to create CYOA books based on Markdown (called Ficdown). The goal was to develop a simple way to write books without having to write code, and that could be exported to normal e-book fo

I think all the walled-garden ecosystems of apps and device interoperability are also contributing to the slow progress on this front. Nobody with the resources to do so wants to develop open protocols that would enable easy collaboration o

You pay for them, but it's not much more expensive than a single park admission. So you basically pay to go once, then can continue going as often as you'd like for the whole year at no cost.

I think the problem is not that most people don't value privacy, it's that most are unaware of the privacy issues that affect them, or have been misled to believe that the cost of having the websites and services that they rely on

As someone who is aware of DF but never played it, I am curious about how the game actually works. I am roughly aware that it is a very complex simulation that exists under an ASCII art and menu presentation, but it's not clear at all

Let's imagine a theoretical world in which every service had a 12 or 15 character limit on their passwords and no other restrictions. Does anyone really believe that the list of most common passwords would not contain equally inane ent

I'd argue that you could learn to read code carefully, understand what it's doing, and write good code without losing the convenience of syntax highlighting. Unless the color scheme you were using really was so garish that it hind

Google was paying out $1 per Chrome install for a long time, which is why you saw it being heavily distributed through all sorts of shady channels like monetized installers. For context, a payout of $0.10 for a bundled install would have be
