A lot of questions about how much interest there could be outside of video games, and that's okay! To be honest, video games could be a great proving ground for the technology. Gamers are used to being early adopters and tend not to

MDN always has the most relevant and easy to read documentation for me, but it's a shame it doesn't get ranked more highly in search engines. Whenever I forget the syntax for a JS or CSS property, I'll always type it into Go

Security experts have more faith in their ability to avoid triggering a scenario where a virus has the chance to gain a foothold. That's why there's such an emphasis on patches, to plug the holes they can't see to personally

The Go language is already successful. Clickbait headlines can't undo that.

I'm sure there could be hours of heated debate over this, but every time a "mascot" issue like this pops up I wonder why they don't just frame it differently: 1) Does the mascot accurately represent the current values of

I hope that plan involves fair trials for all prisoners and a lengthy investigation of all affairs by a trusted third party. But more likely it'll involve extraditing the prisoners to a lesser known dungeon with a less buzzworthy name.

I got through the first paragraph before the whole page was replaced with an interstitial ad. What would you call that, Flash Of Actual Content?

And since this always blows up in an "omg privacy" outrage fest, let's remember that Location History is opt-in and that Google frequently sends email reminders to participants that they are opted in.

ASMR enthusiasts will be quick to point out that it is a sensory experience that may induce frisson, but is not strictly defined by it.

Why would you call it a failure to not send an innocent person to prison?

I never understood why a guilty verdict is a "win" rather than a truthful verdict. It really drives home that as far as the justice system is concerned, we all belong in prison.

I love the syntax! Have you considered setting it up as a cron pre-processor? It would ease integration into existing systems and let people adopt the easy new syntax, without replacing their entire scheduled tasks architecture.

Have you considered setting up alerts? E.g. sending an email when a trending new Creator in the Games category appears.

It's also much too narrowly scoped. Even if it were a random sampling across a variety of XBox Live games, it would still only be representative of XBox Live gamers, which is its own demographic.

For the same reason the grandparent post reiterated it: the readers downvoting the parent post seem to have missed it.

"Study finds less skilled Halo 3 players more likely to harass women in-game" would be the best title. I've been playing games long enough to know that certain games attract certain types of people. The demographics can even

Sarcasm aside, this is actually what the article is literally suggesting: > The results also suggest that video games may be reinforcing gender segregation and potentially promoting sexist behaviours, especially troubling since so many &

Oh, I'm in complete agreement, though I was rather disappointed at Reader's shutdown. I only meant to cite it as a "running gag" of the tech community.

Studying harassment on XBox Live is a bit like going to the Dead Sea to test oceanic salinity levels.

I'm genuinely excited about a lot of things, and I don't know that pulling out a thesaurus for the sake of avoiding that particular word would help anybody.

Looking at just the home page, sure, but if I bookmarked the New in Games page[1] and check back occasionally I can be reasonably assured to find lesser known creators in a category I'm interested in. [1] http://www.pledgeso

To be fair, even if this were a brand new product from Google people would still be speculating on how long before they decide to shut it down.

A self-driving car is still being driven, by a computer that has control, situational awareness, and the ability to recognize and avoid dangerous situations. This demonstration was specifically about removing those three factors.

On sites like Patreon, discoverability is key. The more tools people can use to find creators worthy of their support, the better. Very nice work!

It's refreshing to see a company getting acquired and instead of shutting down they double down on their product/service. Congratulations to the Pixate team!

Simplicity and minimalism are core values in Go, both in the language itself and the community and developers that use it, so clutter tends not to be a concern. That aside, tags are currently in use in several ORM frameworks with a fair amo

There's a lot of bad drivers out there that make a lot of bad decisions, but saying "most" of them are essentially not in control of their vehicles is frankly ridiculous.
