Sorry, I'll drop the philosophy discussion because I don't find it interesting (don't mean this as an attack to you in any way though) On the first discussion: I think it's interesting that you keep using "unbiased&

Sorry but you'll have to explain how universality makes an area of knowledge more important, useful, serious or any other similar adjective. The human experience not only exists, but it's by definition central to us, so how is thi

You seem to imply that knowledge of human experience-centric matters (morality, religion, perception, language, social sciences, the list goes on) is lesser than knowledge centered around the nature (obviously excluding the human experience

Yes, that's a really cool project and I'm glad there are talented people releasing stuff for free like this. But I also think they didn't look very sharp and clear on my 720p 15' laptop screen. Curves look aliased and sm

For a long time I've been like you, but at this point I can't really justify not playing something I love because of stuff like this. I had to create a Steam account to play Counter Strike, a Blizzard account to play Overwatch and

Alright, fair, but then again what if you're building something more complex, where CSV-parsing is just 1% of what it does? Do you implement every single non-standard library functionality you need?

Well, this is a case of high risks and high rewards. I don't know a lot about business, but I don't find it hard to imagine that there's some companies out there that are willing to take the risk, especially if they have some

But a stripped down UI serves to make a non-tech savvy user not associate it with their usual browsing. I know server software is getting complex as well, but to my (limited) understanding the interface was the biggest offender when it come

Smart TVs are the worst thing ever invented. Every TV I came in contact started lagging after +/- 2 years (I live in a 3rd world country, so they may hit the market already outdated). The user experience is terrible. And some of them s

Dirceu's quote was retracted and said to be unfortunate. Also he was talking about a scenario where Bolsonaro executed a military coup. Freixo meant that about Bolsonarismo, not the right. Which is a sentiment I agree. Your claim about

Yeah, I guess the real question here is "do you love programming?" If you do you can make it work, it's a matter of not giving up and instead tweaking your learning system, practicing more and better, etc. If you don't y

The expression "video game" came to be understood as much more than "games played through a video system". Even titles like Skyrim, RDR2 and Uncharted thrive much more on the role playing fantasy or on the narrative than
