I've noticed lately that a lot of stories that manage to make the front page, but don't end up getting discussed heavily, tend to just camp out there in the lower two-thirds of the page for hours. Things with a lot of discussion s

If it was 1972, the cars on the market that were cheap and widely available were models like the Mustang, GTO, Firebird, Challenger, Charger, Camaro, Chevelle, Roadrunner, and on and on. They were beautiful, fast, and fun to drive. Am I ex

If there was ever a decent reason to use a stealth drone with a hellfire missile... Although something less theatrical would probably be better for stability in the aftermath.

Which would stand up just about as well as the Iraqi army did in either Gulf War after a week's worth of airstrikes from a CAG in the Sea of Japan, cruise missiles and land-based bombers out of Japan. It'd be a turkey-shoot.

Personally, I'm pretty sure it's because I stumbled onto a showing of either IT or Killer Klowns from Outer Space[1] on the TV when I was a small child. Ruined Bozo[2] for me... [1] http://www.imdb.com/title/

I hate this pattern. If something is fucked up, tell me, so I can fix it. Don't waste my time buttering me up first and patting me on the back afterwards, just get to the point. It's one thing I do kind of miss about working shi

Probably 90% of .NET/JVM apps, you can hitch a decompiler up to and "View Source". Patching the byte code and having it run is a little tougher...

It's too bad nobody pumped the brakes after it was a little successful, and said "Okay guys, let's stop dicking around and do this right now, before we have to deal with it for the next 30 years". Alas...

The bottleneck is art, from what I understand. It's not trivial to generate enough skinned, rigged, and animated, good-quality 3D models. Even if you can reuse the bulk of your engine code, or even build off an existing game, as in t

Or move to the back-end, where things move at a more survivable pace. Here's the dirty secret, too: for the most part, the work you do there is actually easier than front-end work, since you have better tooling and frameworks that don

You forgot containers, and a platform for orchestrating(?) or swarming or cat-herding or whatever it is one does with a gaggle of microservices.

Why is native/normal feel the end-all-be-all of UI systems? I've never quite understood why this is so desirable. Or why the answer seems to be using a shoddy UI system stuffed in a browser frame.

I think you mean write-only. It doesn't help that the inclination to minify and bundle CSS and JS makes them somewhat impervious to organization. Sourcemaps are supposed to help with that, or so I've heard... they are another of

It is amazing how badly Excel handles CSV files. My favorite thing is where it will decide for some goddamn reason that a numeric or string column is actually supposed to be a date, or a currency, or some other random thing, and automatica

This makes an astounding amount of sense - so it will probably never happen. But it is just astounding the differential in housing prices. I know some people that are trying to sell houses in the little Maine mountain town I grew up in, a

Maybe the best advice is to start slow. If you are a complete tenderfoot, going on a 15 mile hike that bags three 4000 ft peaks is more likely to be a bad time than a three mile hike that summits once. Backpacking the 100 Mile Wilderness

It usually only takes one target or skeet shooting session to convert someone. Shooting things is really fun, when you do it in a safe way.

People that are on the equivalent of basic now are already second-class citizens. On the other hand, there are always alternative paths to attractiveness, outside of the purely financial. In some sub-cultures, you can be broke as hell, but
