Creative mode, where you have infinite blocks and just build stuff, was free to play online through the Java applet. That was I think until beta came out.

Interesting example from print media: The Economist doesn't have author names. Critique and appreciation have both been expressed over this, but I don't think there's an answer that will convince you.

I wager that's the intended exaggeration; many of the listed do share some fundamentals, however. I don't think it's unreasonable to be baseline able to do most of the listed. You don't have to be a great butcher and a

Love this philosophy and it is roughly what I found to be my most reasonable 'top-performing' limit too. Whenever I tried to have more than three at each level, I was overly stressed and just broke down (so to say, and ended up dr

Wow, thank you for putting into writing one of my greatest pet peeves about Windows. Never thought about how often I encounter this issue until now, and how bad the UX is.

I am a recent finance graduate and I can attest to this statement: My friends who are not in finance are absolutely garbage in their understanding of savings, interest, wages, taxes, market dynamics (and other realities, like the fact that

Agreed; I don't think that constitutes a highly significant discovery about the history of trade unless you found what is a hand- or pouchful of seeds together.

I think understanding the history of racism why it's attractive to the masses is a great start in continuing healthy discourse over the politics and economics of the matter. You might think that there is no merit, but you can only co

One remark regarding the speed bookmarks: it should be .8 instead of .75 as 1 / 1.25 is .8, not .75. As is, if you + - + -, you end up at 0.87890625 instead of 1.

I am definitely not an expert on this topic but my impression is that the research is not really focusing on structured abstractions of sensory input, or making these abstractions stateful. Shapes, colours, music, and whatnot are clearly st

I think the author's speed calculation model doesn't care about the axle position with respect to the wheel's centre. Could be accounted for, but I'm guessing that's why the model doesn't fit for it.

This makes me wonder whether or not by overfishing (and many other economic activities) at the upper layers of the oceans we have caused significant ecological destruction at the lower layers. How far does the domino effect go?
