One thing I don't see mentioned here is how important for history it is to be compatible with those old mad. WC3 was where the tower defense game was invented, where DOTA was invented, and where a dozen other smaller sub-genres of game

The United States is weird in that you are defined, here, by your job or profession. TV shows put your job title under your name when you appear on them. People's first question is always "What do you do?" at parties and at e

If you find all of this fascinating and want a bit more history, Chip and Randy's original game, Habitat, is now playable at neohabitat.org You can even sign in with an original C64 if you have one! Probably easier to emulate though, a

Wouldn't be such a big deal if the Chinese weren't literally interning and exterminating Uyghurs. Calling this stuff racism is like calling Nazi Germany Alt-Right... Stops WAAAY short of framing the problem.

This is a HUGE problem. If John Deere were to go out of business tomorrow, a huge swath of our world's farmers would be unable to produce anything thanks to tractors turning off and not working properly. Remember that old game you like

Seriously, this guy knows what he is talking about. Building that network is hard and not fun, and if you are introverted, it's really tough. So do it online in IRC, Slack, or on open source projects or forums! 90% of a freelancer&#x27

I was shocked to see CJ was terminated. When I heard that, I knew NPM was over. She's brilliant, and the idea of them throwing her overboard is a sure indication that they're doomed. It's like the Angels firing Mike Trout, th

If Memristors aren't a thing yet, they're never gonna be. This is HP CEO #3 to be pushing the cursed things when they're still not even market viable.

I mean, great, but the GOP will never let this happen. the Senate will kill this before it even gets to committee, let alone a floor vote.

Heroin is a commodity drug. Unlike pot, LSD, and shrooms, heroin and other opiates are must-haves because they are so addictive. There is literally a steady pace at which the users require it, different though it may be per user. Without he

BitCoin was backed by heroin. Ethereum is backed by something you can readily buy with a credit card. The value in crypto was initially 100% about black market liquidity among parties that could not trust one another. The second wave was sp

One major factor in the rise in prices is the view of "Property as investment." This is a broad category encompassing "Flippers," investors, and other people not necessarily looking to actually live in the property they&

Go back further and the US has been involved in overseas conflicts every year save for one year in the 1800's when we had a major steel strike, here.

The thing i hate about CSS is how unstructured it can be. You just sorta list whatever you want and it's suddenly a style sheet. No headers, no footers, no must includes.... DO I use quotes around this value? Do I not? Does white space

Censorship is one thing, but luring a person to be whacked like the mafia is entirely another. As a-moral as the US' foreign policy can be, we don't do outright assassinations anymore (Bin-Laden notwithstanding). What Saudi Arabia

CLA's basically do one thing: Protect the company using them from being sued by a contributor, or from being sued if a contributor copy pastes copyrighted code into the project. They're there to protect corporations that have outs

Yeah, this whole piece is from someone with an axe to grind. I get it, Beet Box was more community focused and basically a non-profit masquerading as a startup. It's natural they'd get stomped by a real startup, but in this case,

There were some powerful utilities on the old Mac OS. Sometimes, it was a deal with the devil, like TimesTwo. It did the same thing but for harddrives. It often corrupted the darned things though... Ah, what we used to do to get another 4 M
