   Guess what. All the CoD players will pay and praise the company as someone who finally got free-to-play right. Just because they like the franchise. The same happened with Fallout Shelter and you can see people arguing that micro-transactio

   I have seen many forums where this is exploited by users who like to keep their threads on top. They do not submit the whole story and then keep adding new pieces into comments, bumping the thread whenever it gets off the front page. So, I

   Even if you aren't young or don't work at FB. I remember how 2G was, but if you asked me to estimate how fast would any modern website work on it I wouldn't have a clue. Except maybe for HN which I would expect to work fast.

   Click a link? Where? 99% of the people just Google for stuff and rarely even look at the domain names anymore. They would click a link in Google search results and Google would already filter if it's a car or media company you are look

   So, following that logic. 90% is nearly 100%. 10% is nearly zero. And 40% and 60% are basically the same, because they are both nearly 50%.

   Since when is 40% "nearly half". Can we change the title to something like: "40% of Debian packages might break if GCC changes the way it handles undefined behavior"

    I find Facebook docs and APIs to be really good. The only drawback is that they are changing it too often for my liking.

    I used OSMand in Greece last Summer and it was fine as long as you applied common sense on some turns :)

    It happens in every area. If there weren't malicious programmers, we wouldn't have to spend CPU cycles on anti-viruses and firewalls. If there weren't for SPAM, e-mail communication would be more enjoyable, etc. By definition

    Thanks for clearing that up. I got confused by names and expected "Pro" to mean the same in both camps.

    Yes. And Surface has 5200. It's even worse.

    While I agree with the rest, what do you mean by "serious GPU"? GPUs seem exactly the same as MBP offers.

    Now that you bring that up (and it finally loaded the page in my browser) I'm intrigued by the pen. If this could be a good replacement for Wacom tablets (which have double the price) it would be really interesting. Does anyone have ex

    Exactly. MBP is so lightweight and robust that you can take it anywhere where you would take a tablet. Since I got my MBP I completely stopped using the Nexus 10 tablet (which I used a lot before that). The battery lasts as long for similar

    Yup. I'm using git for game source code and I'm often holding off any commits to graphics/music until project is done. Any workaround outside git means you have two systems to manage and it can get really painful.

    Let's see... Comes preinstalled with OS, has small memory footprint, very fast loading, low CPU usage and shitty support for newer web tech. Yup, all checks out.

    This is a great idea. In fact, I did this for one of my websites two years ago (using HAProxy) and I completely forgot about it until now. Thanks.

    You are right, I need to work on my animation skills or hire an animator for my next game.

    Thanks for the feedback. Yes, there are some puzzles where timing is important, maybe 25% of all puzzles in the game. The game that inspired me to create Seeders was Braid. So you can expect similar mix of thinking and platforming. Since t

    I'm thinking to add online multiplayer to my game: http://store.steampowered.com/app/363670 ...so this was very interesting read. I investigated a little bit, and found that there are more protocols than just pure
