I find the focus on the word "code" (Re/code, The Code Conference) weird considering the fairly distinct meaning of the word "code" in the software industry. Their blog and conference is not about code or coding, bu

As with WoW, Ultima Online and various other MMO's, unauthorized servers tend to be written from scratch using an analysis of incoming and outgoing client/server traffic. Nobody would expect Square Enix to release their server sof

Would be very surprised if Boston Dynamics (and their Google overlords) are not already eyeing this tech with great interest.

There will always be a market for altcoins alongside Bitcoin because (a) they can remain completely anonymous and (b) pure cryptocurrency exchanges that do not engage in trades for fiat currency provide an indirect avenue for trading in and

Glad to see they finally got an API, however I'm a bit disappointed that it doesn't return the oldest archived date for a site, only the newest. I often need to check how long ago a site was originally archived. The API would have

I find the very idea of doing anything that would undermine the Bitcoin network to be self defeating and therefore highly unlikely. Miners have a vested interest in high prices, and seeing as doing anything which undermines the network woul

Sticky has more uses than just headers, for instance sidebars and other sorts of control panels can make use of it to improve usability as well. It's a usability feature, not a fad design feature.

It's developer-friendly, very fast to get started and doesn't require a merchant account.

You can almost completely write the article off considering he's characterizing Musk's achievements with such dismissive condescension.

High transaction costs? Do you have even the slightest idea of what you're talking about? Bitcoin has pretty much the lowest transaction fees of any payment method, and you can even opt out of transaction fees if you're willing to

While the nerd in me wants it to be a crashed alien probe, the most plausible scenario is that it's a crashed military satellite, drone or similar.

What a load of rubbish. Scott Hanselman has been blogging on these sorts of things for years before he ever joined Microsoft, and always tries to maintain his independence in his blogging and podcasting regardless of employer.

That's good for you, but you ran the gauntlet (the UI) and earned the level of comfort you now have with it. Just because you're one of the brave (and extremely patient and persistent) souls who have done so, does not mean that ha

You falsely attribute a niche's draw to the fact that it's niche. I find it unlikely that people would base their interest in a game on its popularity, or lack thereof. If the game is fun, people will play it. If it's not, th

The swearing in The GodFather is an important part of the story. It contributes to the end goal of those who made the film. The bad UI in Dwarf Fortress is not deliberate. It is the result of neglect of that aspect of the game. People who p

I don't disagree with you. I think I'm just bitter because I hate bad UIs and it stops me from properly exploring the game. I don't understand why they don't care about the fact that so many people will never experience

In my opinion, the "biggest problem of our time" is oversized government and excessive lobbying of politicians to serve corporate interests rather than the needs of the people. Unfortunately the powers that be are not going to rew

How the heck are people enthusiastic about this? Are there really that many people that take no enjoyment from the flavours, colours, textures and smells of the food they eat? And that's not to mention the fact that the body craves var

Really cool. What would make it perfect is if you could go back and tweak colours you've already added. Bookmarked in any case. Consider my suggestion a feature request!
