Weird. For me it's the reverse. Edit: I see you elaborated on your comment a bit, which makes mine read quite differently. I also agree with you loads more now.

Everybody is a victim of their own narrow viewpoint, even (and sometimes especially) people who claim they're open minded. The tricky part is, when you're talking to someone, to figure out the boundaries of their viewpoint and tak

A wiki-style spoiler-free website for catching up with TV series/books. For instance, you've only watched Game of Thrones up to series 2, episode 3. You're about to start watching it again but can't remember what Daenery

Good advice, but games are optimised to continually give you an instant feeling of gratification. I don't think there's a career choice (or anything that requires some significant time investment) that can match this.

Oops - one extra hour. A 14-hour-long daily sleep does sound appealing in a way, though.

Hmm, that's not quite what I want in that case - I've used Pandoc before but I want pretty strict control over the way things are converted since I use my project to build books where layout is almost as important as the content.

I've been trying for ages to sort out a good sleeping pattern that'll have me up and running in the morning. Weirdly enough, the best one I got was: - wake up after ~6.5 hrs of sleep, use the bathroom, grab something quick to eat

Since we're specifically talking about kids here - what about stuffed animals and other toys? I owned a tamagotchi [1] back when I was a kid and they were all the rage. I was disappointed whenever it died, as it inevitably did, but I n

This looks pretty good. It's very similar to something I built [1] to scratch my own itch for some illustrated short stories I've been self-publishing. I needed some more fine-grained control over page layout so I did go down a co

It's not sporadic, it's updated every Tuesday. (But yeah, seconded.)

Xubuntu is definitely my favourite of the bunch. I find it's the only *buntu the looks of which I don't find jarring.

This is a really easy thing to say, but it's hard to snap your fingers and be instantly surrounded by willing sexual partners if you're stuck in a rut.

I've only used Grunt briefly so I could be completely wrong, but I was under the impression you still need to create a node module for your task if it doesn't exist? You need to package it up somehow, link it in the gruntfile and

Making small shell scripts and the appearance of the syntax is a matter of taste, I guess. I personally quite enjoy knowing exactly what a script does but the appeal of make to me is that I can use it in non-JS projects, too. I recently had

I pretty much came to the comments to write what brandonhsiao did (only at less detail). Two more things I can add though: - A smartphone is sort of a replacement to a computer but not a very good one at that. Typing's more fiddly, las

I never managed to figure out working from home and the whole knack of separating work from leisure. The best option for me has been coworking / hotdesking. The extra cost is more than made up for by the increased productivity and, mor

A game with very stylised graphics will always win over a game with very realistic graphics as far as I'm concerned. If you've got a game with unassuming graphics it's a lot easier to focus on the gameplay. Alternatively, sty

Author here. I've been working on this for a while to scratch my own itch (see: the note at the bottom of the README). I know it's pretty niche itch to have but I'd be pretty damn pleased if anyone else manages to find this u

Creating a game that you, the creator, can't stop playing is the sign of a pretty good game. It's like "eat your own dog food", but with crack.

I've got no trouble analysing the music I listen to. In a way, it increases my appreciation of it, sort of like watching a film and being able to enjoy how well a specific shot is put together without, well, losing the plot. Then again

Love the use of infinite canvas and colour. (I haven't managed to go through it all yet, but it's been bookmarked for later reading.)

I think it's a fair question to ask, Gimp is the one app I've heard being called a "Photoshop killer". In fact I'd only ever heard of Gimp before reading this, and the first thing I did was to google "Gimp vs K

I've always felt a bit awkward about people from Shiny, who used to create ridiculously creative games back in the day, churning out games based on Hollywood film franchises. I'm not really sure how to feel about this development,

+1 for tig. I don't use it for staging and committing (I prefer to do all that using normal git) but it's ridiculously useful for quickly checking the git history, blames etc.
