i'm not typically a fan of the 37signals blog posts which come off to me as arrogant. this one makes me laugh though; it does a really effective job of poking fun at the broken parts of the VC model.

this is definitely not my forte but if VC thinks they could flip the company isn't there a more direct route than buying into a round for the sake of press?

it being vague is the reason i concluded it wasn't part of a big evil scheme. if this was part of some "big evil scheme", the title would be far less innocent. do you disagree? so to say it is "phrased like this is som

seemed to me like it was explicitly phrased so you WOULDN'T think that. imagine the title (and source) if they were making controversial edits?

did AoE really use procedural generation? it could have been due to the immaturity of the genre, but i think you'd be hard pressed to procedurally generate balanced RTS maps. seems more forgivable for something like Worms, but still ki

good point. i'm just hesitant to throw lucid dreaming, meditation, and LSD into the same bucket. it's like comparing a hammer to a paintbrush to a belt sander. i mean, they may very well all belong in exactly the same bucket. i am

"It’s still not clear why such effects can have more profound long-term effects on the brain than our nightly dreams." maybe because it's not really like dreaming at all? calling a psychedelic trip a "waking dream"

i am not particularly gifted at computer science and especially not programming languages. by necessity, the only languages i know are JavaScript and lisp. so I am always surprised to hear lisp is "unreadable" as opposed to "

Schrodinger's stool? the stool is not until it's sat on?

by catshirt 12y ago
did I misinterpret or did you just call lisp "[nearly] unreadable"? all languages are unreadable for the uninitiated.

woah woah woah. we don't just throw around "waste of time" like that :)

holy crap this is awesome. Firefox is no longer using a proprietary audio API right? assuming it's the standard Web Audio API i might have a reason to reintroduce Firefox to my toolset now. :)

you think the university board wouldn't appeal to a good argument? possible they are bluffing, but if they get the right response they may shut up. i find it hard to believe they would be spiteful, but maybe i am being too optimistic.

i'm not a huge football fan but i've always really loved the new technology they bring to the show. the yellow line has always impressed me, and the fly-by cameras they introduced are really cool too. i think i've seen someth

"chronic flatulence" was an awful analogy and an easy out for you. what if your acquaintance was verbally and physically abusive? what if they threatened to kill you or, worse, tried to because of schizophrenia? do you bear the ab

so as i understand, the benefit is that React encourages standard I/O. but i also understand that nothing is stopping anyone from using a standard I/O with Backbone or Ember (which i recognize is why you say "from different p

what does React bring to the table here that Ember, Backbone, etc. don't? i could register my Backbone or Ember views with Bower all the same.

"the fact they made a loss is irrelevant" i don't mean to nitpick but i'm pretty sure "irrelevant" is not the word you are looking for. even if it was projected with complete accuracy, it is very relevant.

i think i'd call Angular's use of HTML markup unfortunate before i'd call it clever. it's a side effect of mapping a view represented by a markup language (HTML) to the same view represented by a programming language (J

well said. Backbone has suited me very well over the past 3 years, and now React. i have a hard time understanding what necessitates all these patterns in the first place and how i've been able to write web applications without them.

exactly. if you connect with art based on how "obvious" you find it, you are going to have a very shallow and boring art career. sometimes being obvious is what makes it art in the first place. hell, some art needs to be obvious

if only Patrick got a dollar every time he got this response did anyone else find the quote at the end at least a little ironic?
