You should care that it is usable, but how they use it should not concern you. If someone wants to use the usb driver to interface with a coin motor to build vibrating underwear, then that's none of your business. Your concern is i

I don't think people really want AGI. They want something else. When we've achieved AGI, it should have the capability to make its own determination. I'm not saying we should build it with that capability. I'm saying t

Someone noted that determining if something is a conflict of interest for you is in itself a conflict of interest.

I feel like that's what it should mean, that quality is all that matters. But it's often used to excuse poor quality as well. Basically if you skinner box your app hard enough, you can get away with lower quality.

It's also a catch 22. This basically says they can't be held accountable for something unless they've already been held accountable for it.

No, I'm saying the web browser itself is an incredibly complex piece of software that has to deal with a lot more than what The Witness does. I actually said nothing about web applications themselves. Don't mistake flash for subst

Autoimmune is incredibly broad. Also, guess what rheumatologists specialize in. I'd give you a hint, it starts with 'a' and ends with your body's immune system mistaking healthy tissue for a disease. Technically, the rhe

Yeah, they just did the conversion and slapped it on there. Should have said "about 2200 mph".

I think this may be a case where people are reacting to the title rather than the content. The article seems to point out a reason why Google would publish this information. > Google is facing a class-action lawsuit filed by women who al

Being able to execute the action is part of the challenge. Being able to do it once does not guarantee you will be able to do it again. Neither Braid nor The Witness nor Myst have that quality. Once you know solution, it’s done, it never ch

Blow routinely trashes software he’s never had to write. Single user software that is the sole focused application when it is running. It saves nothing of importance and doesn’t alter any system to any appreciable degree. You know what’s mo

I like Braid. I do. But, it’s more of a puzzle than a game. Once you figure out the answer, you’re done. Like Myst. Games have some element of skill involved and Blow’s products lack that. And that’s not to knock the products. I like puzzle

Does he though? It seems like he just makes these broad critical statements then pisses off to continue to do nothing. I wouldn’t even say he’s accomplished great things. He’s accomplished some decent things. He’s released two games which b

It depends on the aim of the community. If it is to discuss the language, advancements, tips, etc. Then restricting talk of other languages makes sense. Otherwise the subreddit can become just talk of replacement languages.

What's that saying? "Once is a mistake, twice is a coincidence, three times is a pattern". Having to write something once, just write it. Having to write something twice with small differences, think about it. Having to write

Whether one uses tabs or spaces, Allman or K&R, etc. is largely immaterial. On your own projects, choose a style, go with it. On someone else's project, go with the style chosen. On a shared project, come up with a style, go with i

Are you implying that these eggs would incubate chicks? Or are you using the incubation time as a sort of natural timer? Like they would last that long if they were unwashed, but washed eggs wouldn't last even the incubation period.

I love this. It's been ages since I've seen "Oh God" or "Hot to Trot". Not great movies, not genre or culture defining, but fine. These are movies I'd watch if they were on. I hope they do more. And I hope

"Good" is an overloaded word. We use it to mean both "enjoyable" and "well-made". And we often confuse the two, thinking that if we enjoy something, that means it was well-made. And that if something is well-ma

I've read most of the first two books. They're difficult because there's often no real structure to them. It's like written acid. Everything just jams together and you'll read all of the words, but somewhere along t

Having a temperature preference for steak is just that, preference. Saltiness is a preference. As is most things in cooking. Raw dough is always raw dough. You can't fake rising, etc. Not to mention, if you watch cooking/baking sh
