> playing games I've managed to address this by only playing games with an excellent plot/atmosphere/gameplay, ones with a specific beginning and an ending. So it's like reading a good book or watching a good film.

Seconded. I'm on a netbook and actually can't read one of the paragraphs in the about section.

I agree about being able to distinguish between Vim modes being easier (I notice when I'm in the wrong mode within one or two keystrokes). The other very important thing is being able to recover from using a wrong mode easily. With Vim

I knew he had a developer working with him for Time and such (and now I know who the dev is!), and I knew he had a server person too. The phrase "folks at xkcd" threw me off a bit though - to me it implies a whole team. Is there a

For a minor misuse of police power it'll likely be more effort than it's worth. They'd not only need to get rid of the offending footage, but also explain the absence of footage from that time (or replace it with something el

When you say "this kind" do you mean "free to read online and somehow ridiculously good"? Because that should definitely be an actual genre.

This is excellent. This may finally get my friend and I to finish prototyping that board game idea we've had for ages.

Given the breadth and variety of board and card games there are, I'd say this is pretty versatile already. Though, having given it a quick try, it seems like it's a pretty powerful engine. I'm sure someone has used it for pur

That's actually quite depressing. "You are always surrounded by people who are more popular than you."

4-5 hours on a good day. I normally quote a day rate for 6 hours / day, but this can vary depending on where I work. I tend to be more productive if I work at a client's office rather than my usual coworking space. I assume that&#

One of the things they mention in the Kickstarter is an open API. I guess that would make it more straightforward to make custom additions to the system. What I imagined when I read "sixth sense" was something that you stick in yo

Fair point - that's what I meant. Let me rephrase that.

I really enjoyed reading this. On the flip side (as an OKC user), I've also had moderate amounts of fun trying to figure out their algorithms by trial and error. For a while, I discovered I could figure out who scored me highly on thei

I really enjoyed reading this even I don't understand any of what the bug is actually about. There's something about people who have taken swearing to a virtuosic level.

It's not even an endorsement, this whole thing seems to be organised by them. This was linked at the bottom: http://press.hotels.com/en-us/vacation-equality-project/

Whoah. The Mongolian word for "five" means "ceiling" in Bulgarian.

What really got me was the desperation in the "voice" of the questions, slowly being won over by a calm father figure. I've never had to parse CSV in the browser, but now I feel like I should. Powerful stuff! I'm also a

Ooh I really really like this. Preserving newlines (one of the stated usecases for multiline) is dead easy too. var str = [ //... ].join("\n");

I love these, there's too much to process but I always get to learn at least one ridiculously useful thing. Today's was vim's `:set spell`.

You know when you read someone's comment and then your immediate thought is "I'm way too old to appreciate this"? I read your comment and thought the exact reverse. I'm way too young to appreciate this. Thanks for t
