I don't see why, its just neat to have a little dedicated device next to your router IMO.

Are knobs and plastic moldings that expensive though? I'm not sure this is really a driving factor. Touch screens have marketing appeal (at least from the seller's perspective), I have to think having a shiny touch screen on your

This article is kind of dumb, basically saying that you shouldn't be a night owl, but I will admit that my quality of life is improved when I'm in a natural rhythm of going to bed "on time" and waking up early-ish, getti

Scroll down past the accepted answer and you see what is likely the real one. A manufacturer came to the standardization board with a new design, asked for it, probably lobbied them for it greatly, and they eventually accepted it. Reasons f

I suppose, though that concept has been around awhile too.

I think what's kind of odd though is that it didn't happen sooner. Nothing technologically-speaking today is much different than, say, 15 years ago. Other than bandwidth and console-maker's willingness to work with each other

Seems weird that its all happened with a shooter. They've been pretty much there the whole time. Battle Royale as a game mode/genre isn't the most unique idea to ever come along either. The visuals sort of set it apart, thoug

And rather than admit that you won't put the time in to practice a skill, its much easier to say that its "not for you" or "I'm too old to learn this", etc.

Eh...a lot of things that seem like they should be relatively stupid on the surface are loved and revered, maybe even enjoyable. I still don't get why people pour so much over baseball statistics, but clearly its an enjoyable pastime f

Sure, but if you do understand what a company is doing under the hood, you can make informed long-term investments based on that (which still pose a risk because of the reasons you stated). If you knew Facebook's history and engineerin

This is a very whistleblow-y article. Sensible commenters here correctly point out that a 3rd party vendor shouldn't be sending messages like that, it was unprofessional and ultimately pointless. But the point of the article and subseq

Maybe, so far I've been in a few situations where we didn't go with Slack...only to go back to Slack. Part of the lock-in is their brilliant multi-org client. I can easily go back-and-forth between my company, a contract's IM

I'll just report that we had an issue with an Elastic Beanstalk deployment that seems to have resolved itself now. Not sure if its related, but simply retrying the deployment resolved it without making any changes, so it sure seems rel

I dunno, the only 3rd party over-dependencies I see is in frontend code and that code is usually in one big repo (in my personal experience). I think the proliferation of NPM dependencies is its own problem, but usually when I'm thinki

There's a common benefit to having spots available for businesses and other uses. Its sort of why we have parking meters in the first place, so people don't camp spots all day long.

Have they applied this to Homer? That was another one I understood was supposedly multiple authors.

The D&D scare seems to at least have benefited from a lot of common misunderstandings and that most people were unwilling to give it a shot. Harry Potter exploded in popularity for the blowback to ever be taken too seriously. Its pretty

It's not every 20 years, it's pretty much a constant. Some games or trends just happen to get more mainstream attention than others. I don't think we're ever going to truly get rid of this sense of "this thing is ba

People hated Origin pretty bad, but EA stuck to their guns. IMO its a pretty awful experience. And to be honest Steam isn't exactly a great experience either. I noticed they're finally doing a face lift on their storefront soon, p

I really don't understand the sentiment since having 2-3 game launchers has been the norm for digital games for years now. I can't buy any new Blizzard/Activision games or EA games through Steam that I know of, and these are

Blockbuster had exclusive rental agreements where they could rent movies for weeks before Redbox. I'm not sure where the first-sale doctrine came into play there, but this was a reality of the time when Redbox began to make a big splas

You need to optimize for exploration heavily, when you get low on paper clips you can adjust production, but mostly just try to colonize like crazy.

Gameplay changes pretty drastically after you unlock drones, and even more-so after that phase.

That game really made a huge splash awhile ago, I just so happened to have played through it again on the iPhone. It's just a great game and shows how the idle/incremental genre has a lot of room to grow. If you like that game I r

Fair enough, but I wouldn't go so far as to make people afraid of trying it either, which feels like an unintended consequence of this line of thinking. The organization I went through at least worked out of the community and had exper

The main reason I would disagree with such a personally limiting view of the world is that the world is so complex and ever-shifting that this sacrifice (even if you convinced a significant amount of people to join) ultimately cannot be mea
