You're right in illustrating how things are winding down - I just wanted to point out it wasn't a complete shutdown of all things Flash. Ads were never as big a component of the flash game industry they are in mobile apps: sponsor

Good clarification. Perhaps the compiler API is the better choice here? I'm not fully aware of the differences / divisions between the two. https://github.com/Microsoft/TypeScript/wiki/Using-the-Comp

Just to clarify, when you say "shutdowns of all their flash services" this means they shut down their distribution system that was for distributing your game to portals automatically as well as one other service. They didn't

If you're interested in using ES6 features, TypeScript provides a great way to get most of these features (and of course optional typing as well). Babel might be slightly more feature-complete when it comes to ES6 features, but TypeScr

There are reasonable cases to be made for both keeping weed illegal and banning abortions. Labeling people as lunatics because you disagree with them is a very dangerous road to go down.

Prison Break tied a storyline into the D. B. Cooper story as well. A pretty popular story it seems :)

For those who have never read it, the Wikipedia article reads almost like an action novel. Highly recommended (fun) reading.

The comments don't render correctly on FF on Android. They all render one after another and it's impossible to tell which comments are replies and which aren't. :(

Agreed 100%. I feel like I could get as much done with a 25hr/wk workweek instead of 40hr/wk. I try to stay focused and work hard for those 40+ hrs each week, but things eventually trail off anyways.

The area of the midwest referenced in this article is a fascinating area. It's essentially undiscussed and unthought about in mainstream American thought. But it's so interesting to drive around out there, so much land, few people

How do you design a system that's hardened against social engineering but not hardened against innocent mistakes, like losing your password? It seems like the easiest way to access public systems like this is through social engineering

Agreed, if the employees negotiated fair cash compensation, a bonus equivalent to a $70K bonus/year for four years in a row is solid. If employees were told that the stock options were a significant portion of their compensation and th

How in the world is the head of the Grand Jury a Waco police officer who was at least a little involved with the incident? Shouldn't he have been recused from that process?

Who can tell? Although I bet both groups have some amount of culpability in this one. We'll probably never know for sure what really happened, except possibly if there's video available.

This would be a nice change. It's frustrating when your own questions are marked as duplicates because there's a similar question from five years ago.

I agree with you that the case can be made, although I don't know how much I agree with your case, and I still think the case is stronger against a mandatory Sabbath. Hebrews 4 talks a lot about entering into Sabbath rest. But my inter

I think that's part of what made the adventure Crash games such a success. They were challenging, but not impossible; death was penalized fairly; there were always more things to discover and collect. In addition, the games were easy e

Let's start with the assumption (not necessarily true) that one who drinks from a public water fountain consumes significantly more germs than one who drinks bottled water. Is this even a bad thing? I would think that this regular expo

What exactly is the goal of the group? What does it mean that they "police the other teams"? This is just out of pure curiosity, I find the idea of having a mod team for a large, public project interesting but a bit strange.

Yes, I would say it is quite stable. In fact, in the ST blog it says: "Sublime Text 3, while still technically in beta, is the recommended version of Sublime Text to use." [0] [0]: http://www.sublimetext.com/blog&#

Would noise-cancelling headphones help address this? I imagine you can listen to music at a safer level if background noise is eliminated.

A few more thoughts on the matter of whales: On Kongregate, 2.1% of users buy virtual goods. Of these, about 4% (the whales) have spent over $500 and bring in about half of Kongregate's revenue. Top spenders often spend $50K-$80K. Emil
