I find the same way with Celsius too. Or, like when you grow up the world kind of conditions you to associate certain feelings of heat/humidity with certain numbers. I always get confused going to the US, but I do like that they have m

I found the video of Kamiyah heartbreaking to watch for her as well as a lot of sadness for her mother. I really hope they can do more to make things more manageable.

Interesting, when I took Geography 101 the first thing they taught was “mapping is super subjective”.

I’m a junior-ish programmer at a software company. I usually stick to a 40-hour week, but I know other juniors (plus seniors!) that voluntarily do 60 and I know that they’ll likely end up advancing faster than me. The leads usually come to

I think the restriction on working hours ensures that management is more conscious about spent labour too. We have this (often true) stereotype of bad leads wanting employees to overwork and I would bet that’s because they assume that the t

This might be because games are a young medium, but I find a lot of “primers” on game design to feel like subjective reflections of the author’s ludography. The sort of fundamentals a level designer for a 90s first-person shooter would give

I work as a programmer in the games industry, as well as make games by myself on my spare time. Like how the author describes, I really had to divorce myself from the thought of being a software designer or computer scientist to even start

Perhaps for some people, but I don't think that sort of sentiment about Ali Wong is universally true. I genuinely enjoyed the material and found it very fresh, especially as someone that didn't really think standup comedy was for

It reminded me of that too, especially since Nanette goes in-depth about how tension and release are tapped into to shape humour.

I was kind of thinking the same thing reading this and the above comment. I'm sure with a bit of saving I could afford a business class trip, but spending the money to spend extra time on vacation or doing something interesting seems t

I had a driving instructor once who used one of those hand controls for driving. It was set beneath the steering wheel and when I operated the vehicle I didn't notice it at a all. Looking back, it feels kind of incredible and wonderful

I think it’s a bit different when the “other people” are subsidized by taxpayer money. I think the parent commenter would be certainly fine with other people doing the same, provided they’re not massaging government officials with luxuries.

When I read text with the fullwidth latin unicode like that, it certainly feels more dreamlike. I think Vaporwave appeals to me a lot as tapes and the aesthetics of foreign-made (eg: Japan, Taiwan, etc.) electronics feel vivid in the fuzzie

I'd be curious to read any studies on child psychology with respect to how children would respond to something like Fred Rogers today. As in, would a child today be disinterested in the slow pace of that format and want to consume othe

I think the opposite, actually. It strikes me that Nintendo is aware that the value that comes from a video game is very different than something like a comic book or film. I think a video game is something that you express yourself into, a

I think they’re quite sensitive to how the brand is perceived in terms of merchandising.

What makes you feel that the trend is sad? I often feel like the laws regarding recreational cannabis are quite more strict than they need be, but I’d be curious to hear your point of view?

I bet the next developer that makes a sports game with a Fire-Emblem spin (character relationship elements, individual personalities) will make a solid amount of money.

I use a mid-2012 at home too. The RAM/HDD slots have been updated multiple times. I love how long the device has lasted me.

I really enjoyed reading this as Animal Crossing had a big impression on me as a child. It was engaging and full of character, but didn't have the same structure as other adventure/platformer games I had owned. It opened my eyes u

Doesn’t answer your question, but men in their twenties can be prescribed Finnasteride which can help prevent testosterone from being metabolized into DHT. It’s something they have to continually take though.

Popular Ludum Dare contestant 01010111 has made some slick 48-hour games in Haxe.[1] Even winning the compo once too. From what I've seen Haxe has a lot of great features for individual game developers to be expressive. [1] http:&#x2F

I've read and been exposed to a lot of other research with regards to consensus [1], but I'd love to see another point of view. Maybe you could post a few other sources that disagree? [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/w

Part of me wonders if the parent poster has an inexpensive data plan for the tablet? I'd be tempted to do something like that, actually.

When I was a child, I would record cartoons on the VCR. When the commercials started, I would stop the recording and resume once the programme began again. I think I would mute the TV too! There was certainly a way that the distributors wan
