   I wonder what will happen to derivative works based on works that were public domain but then fell into copyright again? [1] https://literary007.com/2016/08/23/licence-expired-the-unaut...

   Games like SimCity, Animal Crossing, and Minecraft are good examples where the experience of "playing" isn't necessarily about translating the game from an "initial" state to "end" or "win" one.

   Thanks for taking the time to clarify what you meant. I think I can see what you mean about how you don't really have a word to describe the picture you're painting. I don't know if I agree with you about the idea that women

   I'm a little confused when you say that feminism "has sold a massive lie to women". Feminism as a topic seems really large to me, and I'm not sure what about it you mean when you say that a big lie has been told. Would y

   My first full-time job out of school was exactly like that. At first I found it lonely as a lot of my peers were a decade or two older than me with kids, and mostly treated the job like a 9-5. As investment into the company increased, more

   I think the author is speaking about Linux Mint[1], which is a flavour of Ubuntu with some quality-of-life additions. [1] https://linuxmint.com/

   Same thing! After using Linux abroad I started a new job using a Windowns 10 workstation and it showed me a picture of the President of the United States. It took a while to get the menu cleaned up too.

   I'm not an expert in this, but the historical Okinawa diet doesn't have as much in simple carbohydrates compared to other lifestyles[1]. I think calorie intake is a notable aspect like you mentioned, but eating foods with a higher

   I wasn’t old enough at the time to remember the relative pricing of those things as a consumer, but things like walkmans, televisions, and IBM laptops seemed much more affluent then compared to now.

    I agree with you that there should be more options available! It does strike me that if society nudges men a little towards buying clothing “out of need” then I could see how the market expresses more conservative options.

    I think the offline/portability part comes from the fact that the computer exists in a little box you can carry around.

    Most game source code I've seen has exhibited this "poorly designed" trait. Some because it was originally written in a single-threaded context and continued to provide shareholder value, and others because it didn't hav

    I can't comment on topics such as rioting, but just to clarify, are you talking about bill C-16, or something else? From what I've read, C-16 wouldn't likely result in sentencing jail time for something such as pronoun usage.

    I hope that at some point C++ programming can have a solid "good parts" style guide, akin to Crockford's JavaScript book. I feel a lot of that probably isn't conventionally achievable since C++ covers a lot of situations

    I was thinking the same thing about TypeScript too. It's certainly catching up, and its a great way of having a gradual shift from dynamic to static types as your requirements crystallize.

    Jai is another popular one that originally compiled to C and is aimed at game development. Any thoughts on that? EDIT: Your responses in these threads have been great, by the way!

    I was expecting I could press “back” and return to this thread. I think I honestly would have perferred the designers doing the “scroll hijack” in this case.

    I notice a lot of retirees like this (close family included!) but I think this is a matter of conditioning and temperament. Having had a habit of working or going to school one’s entire life, suddenly having plenty of time to yourself is li

    Half of my friends have done the same and migrated to the web client. If Facebook is going to hog memory and show data-chugging videos, it might as well do it in a JavaScriptCore VM context so I can stop it when I want to.

    At the last game studio I worked at the artists formed a “no windows or florescent lights” room full of dimmed lamps and Wacom monitors on the lowest brightness. Deep down I wish I could have had that and strolled into the coffee room for s

    I think about a decade ago or so MacBooks covered a nice sweet spot in terms of programming work. My bet is that this coincided with the growing world of web development too. It was a commercially-supported Unix laptop with decent hardware

    > I guess, but goods trade deficit is still a goods trade deficit. Isn't that what trump was complaining about? He also has a bit of a habit of saying disputable or incorrect things. I think he should keep away from cable news too.

    I want to note that in Canada a lot of government data storage is required by law to be on Canadian soil. From what I understand this is to help mitigate a foreign actor from accessing your data (eg: a search warrant in the US could pull up

    Wasn’t it removed at some point? I remember the nature of it changing but then being reversed due to negative responses. At the time I realized people were starting to use Twitter in ways not originally intended.
