   You're not selfish. Do what's right you. You could make the argument those having kids are selfish. I'm not going to enumerate all the reasons why but it doesn't take much thought to come up with many. I'm not sayin

   Your anecdote does not prove that effort is what's required. 32 is still a good age but as the numbers go up effort is not what makes this happen. It's luck and the success stories you hear are entirely the lucky few

   This is bad and should be blocked IMO, at least by default, but can a site do anything other than find out which ports respond to a websocket request? AFAIK they can't send arbitrary network packets. The websocket will only open if the

   I'm just as upset by bloat and tracking as well but the criticism seem a little off for some reason I can't quite put my finger on. I go to a restaurant and I can't just walk into the kitchen and grab a plate of food. Nor can

   Markdown expects to be written to 80 columns or less. It doesn't have to be but that it what's expected. Which makes it very much about form as you have to manually "form"at it.

   It really depends on the app. A 3d modeling package? Although Clara.io exists most of the time I'm dealing with 100s of megs of data so native wins. Creating a game? Mostly same though I can imagine some limited online game creation to

    There's an assumption there that more money to government = make things better but there are plenty of examples where the government makes things worse. Some people believe that giving less = actually make things better because it will

    So I'm going to join the naysayers here and say while the graphics look absolutely phenomenal the game itself looks the the same game I've been playing for 20-25 years. A 3rd person character who walks through caves, canyons, ruin

    I'm curious how much of this comes from working with unskilled labor (hope that's the right term). I once worked in fast food right out of high school. 80-90% of the employees were one or more of untrustworthy, unreliable, whiny,

    It might be for this app but say the app displayed an image of the cloud cover. That image, from a MITM could be designed to exploit a know decoder bug (project zero just had a post about bunch they found in Apple's OSes). Browsers (or

    i know games with $3 million dollar budgets that chose Unity over Unreal because with Unreal that would have cost them $150k where as with their 10 person team Unity cost them $45k for 3 years.

    FYI though, It's not open source. Open source has a meaning and Unreal doesn't fit that meaning. https://www.google.com/search?q=open+soruce+definition

    That assumes it is a tradeoff. Maybe you can have both. I see nothing obviously preventing having power, expressiveness, and reach, and ease of use

    How do you do that if they are all booked? Do you just price to the highest bidder so if I wanted my new Star Wars movie on the billboard on May 4th and you want your new Star Trek movie on the same day who ever pays more gets it even if on

    The point of the Turing test is if you can't tell the difference then it doesn't matter. As of today you can't prove you're not in a simulation nor can you prove that every person you think is intelligent is not really a

    3Blue1Brown's linear algebra animations were fun to watch but they did almost nothing for me except the basic fact that the "linear" part means lines. The rest was effectively preaching to the choir so those that already know

    In games, at least in the past and I'm pretty positive still, you have to make commitments months in advance. Want the cover of some magazine? It's decided 6 months in advance. Want TV commercials to run? Book them 6 months in adv

    I've used emacs for maybe 18 months solid. I never found it had a single feature that my other editors didn't have (not saying it doesn't, just staying I didn't run into them). My other editors can be extended via script
