It's not the ethical cost of eating meat, it's the ethical cost of eating industrially farmed meat. Every year, tens of billions of animals suffer for their entire lives before slaughter because we want to eat lots of cheap meat.

This kind of Field of View algorithm is integral to any roguelike and there's a variety of methods for achieving the results [0]. I'd be interested in how this algorithm holds up against the usual raycasting or shadow casting. My intuition

There was another high scoring post on Reddit less than a week ago with a similar premise: guy posts a coded note he claims to have seen placed in a dead drop [1]. This post definitely smells funny. [1] http://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/co

As someone who just wrote their own extension for HN, I think that's the right way to go about things. Tables are such a pain in the ass and I there were multiple times where I had to talk myself into 'staying the course' and just getting i

It seems like threads only become paginated when they become closed for comments. I think this makes sense in some ways. I noticed it because I way testing, went to sleep, woke up and refreshed the thread I was testing with and everything b

It'd be funny to see the first programs running in the game to make the same mistake. Maybe the inconsistency in notch's spec is purposeful.

This is probably the last chance I'll get to let everyone know that Hacker News has recently started to paginate comment threads (see my submission https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3746568 , which apparently very few people saw). I def

You must not have been your average 18 year old. This guy had read/write to GitHub and potentially many more sites, imagine what damage he could have caused. He may not have done it perfectly but he Did the Right Thing(tm).

Don't store your money on servers you don't own. Don't have a web interface. Don't allow anyone to connect. Don't use passwords, use public key encryption. These are the basics.

You can try throwing a 'position: fixed; bottom: 21px;' on your #loading div instead of positioning w/ JS. Also, the animation on the items isn't very smooth and I find it distracting. It'll probably feel smoother without the drop down anim
