Okay, I'll bite first. A table for layout is semantically meaningless. If you view a webpage as vaguely structured data, then using a table for layout is akin to using a String to represent an enumerated value. Sure, you can do it and it wi

Try open sourcing it before it gets unshitty. I'm trying it myself, just putting things out there and saying "to hell with it" because, ultimately, unshitifying things is Zeno's paradox kind of work; you're never really done. And, really, i

My wife and I just had a baby and it has made me realize that I would burn the world to cinders in defense of my family. I have no idea how this guy reached through the fire and shook this kid's hand. Wow.

This happened with Doom, too. For a long time, every FPS that came out was called a "Doom clone"; there was no such thing as "FPS" as a genre. It's fun to think of games that create genres and those that don't: the "Tetris" genre never real

Thank you for insulting my intelligence. It's funny, I don't feel intellectually stunted. ( = When I said that the issue was more nuanced, I meant that we shouldn't ban all guns in the U.S. Please do not represent my position as such or ass

Thank you for your thoughtful comment on a touchy issue. That is a good point about the comparison with cars. I have been stepping neatly past the trust idea (which applies to computers as well, and I'm a coder). It's a very powerful idea t

Well, I was limiting this to guns, but okay, sure. I'm not sure what your larger point is, though.

Are you lobbying for the restriction of vehicles? Or are you making a point by analogy with guns that I'm missing?

by drhayes9 14y ago
True, but cars are good for something other than killing things. See my other, longer comment here: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4298113

To be fair, this tool has only one use: it kills things. Whenever I see arguments about how we should ban cars because they kill more people than guns per year, I always think about that. Cars are good for all kinds of things, and they happ

What's the larger strategy here: "Lose"? I don't understand why they would do this. Seems like people will just shrug and migrate towards the free tools that will help them solve a variety of problems in more interesting ways (e.g. gcc, pyt

Just to throw this out there: imagine the forces a space elevator would have to bear to be viable. Don't just imagine what acts of terror could do to it, imagine the amount of force they'd have to play with just to do anything directly to i

I like the idea, but the site is fairly buggy: * After signing in via Github, it asked me to create a username. I did so, but clicking either buttons on the dialog that displayed did nothing (incidentally, I probably shouldn't be able to re

I don't think I'm disagreeing with the gist of your comment, but a couple of the ideas you put forward as givens freaked me out. We have to leave aside two unanswered statements in your comment: how many people in prison actually deserve to

Grants and scholarships based on minority status are bigoted, yes, but not in a bad way. Hear me out. The negative reaction to bigotry arises from a perceived inequality: one group is getting favored over another, and that's unfair. Sure. B

A little off-topic, but... Why is this getting down-voted? Is it because you disagree with what this person is saying? I thought down-votes were only for things that didn't contribute to the conversation. It feels like this is getting down-

by drhayes9 15y ago
Good point; I think we would be having this conversation. We would not call it sexism, as that's reserved for unwanted attention between the sexes, usually male-to-female, but sometimes reversed... but it would still be just as wrong . I t

It's because, ultimately, games of all sorts (not just video) are in this funny realm where we don't think too much about what we're doing beyond the mechanics of the game. The story wrapped around the mechanics becomes the chrome added to
