Sure it is. I believe it is better to elevate good posts/posts that I like, than silencing bad posts/posts that I dislike. I think there should only be UPvotes.

In portuguese it literally means "going someplace else". An example: I enter the subway and sit next to a man. For some reason, I stink. The man is unconfortable and asks me to move. I shouldn't move. I am OK where I am. If h

To me, as a channer, those values are "iffy". What to you mean by "Create a safe space to encourage participation". Define a safe space. I can't physically hurt anyone, so that's a given. But are they consideri

I don't like it, but Reddit can do whatever it wants with it's platform. Reddit is not a "free speech platform", it is whatever it wants to be at any moment. In Portugal we have a saying that translates to something like

Ah... Nothing like erotica/porn/sexyness to motivate a person :) I like it. I like the idea and the choice of text. Victorian english and erotism go hand in hand. (It may be a cultural fetish, I don't know). My only criticism

IMO it's a feature. My reasoning takes into account mortality and reproduction (and is totally simplistic.) If there is no mortality but there is reproduction, we would soon reach a point where our environment wouldn't be able to

I really like ZeroBrane Studio. Congratulations to the team! I use it to play around with Lua and MOAI[0]. I started using it for the debugger, but the other features made it my default editor for Lua. If you don't know Lua, give it a

It is believed that Valve takes 30% from any commercial transaction (google it, although none of the link I found seemed 100% reliable). IMO, Bethesda should not get any money (see my post) That leaves 70% for the modder. Seems acceptable t

I gathered my thoughts in a comment on the Bethesda blog post: http://www.bethblog.com/2015/04/27/why-were-trying-paid-skyr... TL,DR: Bethesda doesn't deserve the 45% of the sale, specially when they ar

I also love comic books, specially super-heroes. It's usually cheesy and derivative but, on those well written stories, so touching, so inspiring! I also started with Marvel. It's characters are grittier, more humane, and all thei

I've read it in about 10 years ago, in my teens. It's funny because I've always thought that the Orwellian dystopia was a bit far-fetched, and the Huxleyan dystopia was much closer. Reading 1984, I feel like we're nearin

1984, George Orwell. I'm enjoying it. It's bleak and scary and messes with your mind. The only think I dislike is that the overall mood is "look at how wrong this is". I was expecting a more detached and unemotional de

You don't want to die because you ran too much. What you want is the feeling that, when you die, you ran as far and as fast as you could during your whole life.

That's the problem. By including it you mean this article is (also) for newbies. And is an opinionated, biased article. The author is fostering more "lemming programmers".

I'm sceptical about the success of this. Math, for example, isn't something you should theach continuously for two weeks (lets say, teaching multiplication) and then go back to two months later (to teach division). It need continu
