Nobody silenced Brendan Eich. He is free to say whatever he wants about his political affiliations and his personal ideals. With that freedom comes the concomitant responsibility for the consequences of that speech. In fact, I think it&#x27

Might be too simple when measured against those heavies, but check out Neptune's Pride 2: http://triton.ironhelmet.com Slow, real-time 4x strategy game with no randomness and lots of fun.

Caveat: "Infinite are the arguments of mages." My current favorite programming font is Inconsolata, but I'm being swayed by Source Code Pro.

Out of how many programmers in the world, ever? They're basically statistical noise against the backdrop of all coders everywhere. As a sidenote, I'd put Grace Hopper up there instead of DHH, and Dennis Ritchie and Ken Thomopson s

That's why I prefer it. A dev site with a bunch of resources could wedge the SimpleHTTPServer every couple of page loads. Still haven't overwhelmed http-server.

I like Daniel Cook's comment: http://www.gamasutra.com/view/feature/217434/the_ups_and_dow... I read it as, "Are you aware that the engineering costs of non-local multiplayer can pay out many more r

I'd like to second this. I would very much like to throw money your way.

This seems totally reasonable to me. I was playing around with using Firebase ( https://www.firebase.com/ ) as the datastore for a turn-based multiplayer game on the web and its data policies seemed very well suited. Essentia

Of course, IANAL. I also don't like those kinds of employment clauses. The way I understand it those clauses are written to prevent the kind of situation where you have a problem at work, can't solve it, go home, solve it, then of

This is pretty clearly a "right to swing your fist ends at my nose" situation. If your parents aren't attempting to limit homosexuals' ability to live as equals with non-homosexual humans then, yes, they shouldn't b

Probably the comment-to-upvote-ratio flamewar detector. I believe that once a story gets more comments than it has upvotes its ranking gets dropped.

That's a very reductionist point of view that doesn't seem useful as an intellectual tool. Bigotry is not just a description of actions people take but the context in which they take them. Eich, in the context of this specific eco

Discrimination of what kind? They are not publishing an app in an app store. Are they discriminating against Mozilla? Are they blocking Mozilla browsers from their site? Are people being persecuted, imprisoned, or killed for using Firefox?

To get some context on the "racist" comment, Google [bart killings]. There are multiple cases of BART transit cops shooting unarmed people of color. Also, the Oakland police department was on the verge of Federal takeover last yea

Yup, it's pretty much a perfect place to start. Browsers are ubiquitous, 2d gaming is pretty easy to understand and get started with, and the results can be surprisingly addictive despite their simplicity: http://www.lessmil

I think it's awfully reductionist to blame the "government" and stop there. It simplifies a lot of what is really going on and threatens to become a thought-terminating cliche; "Well, that's big government for you.&

I think an important distinction here is that the greatest value the tech industry creates is monetary value. There are others measures of value that it doesn't exceed at. I'm not one to say that all tech innovation has ceased, bu

I don't see the big government argument here. If the residents of San Francisco are voting to keep the city a certain way, how does that align with traditional "big government" narratives of over-regulation, bloated spending,
