Uhm, at the cost of some tax dollars. It's still like this in Cuba. people still beg, BUT they have a home to go to at the end of the day. I don't think this is a particularly bad thing. Would you rather our tax dollars are spent

It's great for personal or very small businesses but god help you if you are building a real startup with GNUCash. I am speaking from experience here, GNUCash zealotry is a plague. I honestly wish this project basically did not exist,

I was the USA champion in this game back when being an esports pro meant winning a Voodoo 2 for your efforts. Best driving game ever, and so much fun.

The number one trait I have seen in people who are burned out is that they utterly and completely deny they are burned out. They often furiously push back on the idea. "I cannot possibly be burned out, because I have way too much to do

The Museum of Art and Digital Entertainment specializes in generational knowledge exchange through the medium of video games. There is nothing that warms my heart more than watching that information transfer in real time. Watching a parent

I met Douglas near the end, at MacWorld SF 2000. He was charming, enormous (though, not in a "fat guy" way, much more in a "way over 6 foot tall" way.) He truly was a monument of a human being. He was vastly more interes

New lines of business. Another way for them to sell your data. The NSA is quaint. The Valley knows everything about everyone already, and even has their current GPS coordinates.

You missed the museums you're talking about. There are a ton of small museums in the Bay Area, from themade.org to the American Bookbinders Museum in SF. Non-profits are also expected to donate all their assets to other non-profits if

People used Codeplex? I thought it was just this crazy halfstep Sam Ramji convinced MS to take, leading them to open source. When it launched, Codeplex was supposed to be a source code museum, where you could see the code but not reuse it.

Dynamicland was amazing. So far ahead of its time, yet also so utterly without a practical real world application. So dedicated are they to the idea of dynamic code running the space that they wrote the kernel on a whiteboard, and if anyone

The exciting thing here is that this runs on Squeak in JavaScript. Squeak is a modern Smalltalk, and now it can obviously be run on top of JavaScript. That's dynamic languages all the way down!

Yes indeed. It's sources are already in a private GitHub repo, we just need to prune copyrighted things like fonts and libraries so we can open source it. That'll start in January.

This was brought back to working order with the help of Randy, Chip, Mist64, StuBlad, McMartin, and some other folks who hacked away until it was brought back to working order. The Museum of Art and Digital Entertainment (themade.org) unde

The big reason we do this is that being a DM, it's REALLY hard to predict what your players are going to do. I used to spend days preparing for a game, only to have the party turn around and wander out of the dungeon 10 minutes into th

I just cannot rationalize getting him any gaming equipment. He could manage Stadia, juuuust barely. He frequently cannot figure out his cell phone. He is basically a ludite. My mom had to stand there and turn Stadia on on the tablet for him

When I got Stadia, I set my dad up with it to play Red Dead 2, because he knows nothing of games, and I wasn't buying him a PS4 just to play 1 game. It was great. When he got stuck, I logged in across the country and advanced the story

One thing this doesn't really address is that the way you separate plutonium from uranium is via acid. At the end of the process, you have a barrel of radioactive acid to deal with. Not nice stuff to handle. Toxic AND corrosive waste.

The point of SF's progressive movement is to fight back against conservative policies with an example of what progressive politics can accomplish. It's not exactly working out now is it? SF itself is the city where all of the beau

SF's favorite game is to send ambulances out to a guy sitting on the street, screaming insane things, covered in his own feces and trying to punch people. Ambulance shows, guy says "No!" and so everyone says "Oh, this pe

Happy? No. But if they do it before the verdict, it's all in the clear. Happens ALL the time. Businesses constantly sell their assets to other shell companies to avoid liability. Alex Jones is doing this right now AFTER the verdict.

Honest question: what is stopping Brewster from filing for bankruptcy and transferring all assets to another non-profit. CA law specifically states that dissolved non-profits have to donate everything to another non-profit. All the hardware
