Yeah, I don't know why we're blaming facebook. Seems like Industrialization has been "killing the economy" for a while.[1] But I think unskilled labor is still doing okay... as long as you'll work cheaper than machines (which is why the dem

There could be some fun ways to simulate hover on touch devices. Perhaps a drag gesture across an area can work as a hover? Probably won't work great if context stuff pops up directly under your finger. Better/crazier plan: the new iPhone h

only verified MDs or med students / professionals I wouldn't underestimate the expertise of regular people living with a disease. Parents of sick kids, especially.

Stephen Colbert is a good example. Seen a few people not realize he's a satirist right away.

Removing the memsets from the networking layer of one of my projects basically halved the frametime of that system (which was a bottleneck). I'm all for defensive programming, but when you need to be fast, you'll just have to make sure it's

I'll offer the tip that even if you have a fast memset, you can and should avoid using it when possible. Seeing memset is usually a sign that someone is being lazy about watching the length of their buffers and/or verifying their copies are

EA is selling one ticket for a ride in a car, not the car itself. Just because courts have ruled that the ticket coming on a disk means you can resell the disk, doesn't mean EA has no right to find a way to tear the ticket.

Non-transferable licenses are a great idea because makers should get paid for their work. It's unfortunate the courts have ruled against this when the delivery medium (the disk) is sold on a store shelf. It's like making a movie theater let

The tone and popularity of this sort of reply really bothers me. The grandparent is the best explanation of the actual business decision in the entire thread. How was any of it "straw man"? Trying to get paid for your product when someone u

For me, Powerpoint has always been a handy tool for limping through speaking in front of others. Handy source of notes, gives the audience something to stare at that isn't me. Probably not the best aide for /improving/ at public speaking, t

Right, what about those who claim being homosexual is a choice? To blur the line more, what about killers who are insane?

I wonder if that will convince my wife. Probably not. Her stats superstitions drive me crazy. Ever heard of the Chinese birth calendar? For example: http://www.webwomb.com/chinesechart.htm . 90%+ accuracy should be an easy claim to bust. U

Reminds me of the movie Mimic. What would we have to change for roaches to grow to be man-sized? If I remember right, the movie scientists were mainly concerned about how the critters would get enough air. http://www.saburchill.com/chapter

The really interesting thing to me is how much work it took him to earn his success. In his book "Born Standing Up" he goes more into his adolescence, where he learned stagecraft, acting, and improvisation. Then as a comedian, years of refi

In a chemical sense, no difference, but fire is complicated. Check out Wikipedia articles on Redox, Radicals, Combustion, etc. Fuel cells are cool because they grab electricity straight from the freed electrons as the fuel is oxidized. More

I recommend (in addition to the other tips here) that you try switching your IDE to a variable width font. Heresy, I know, but reading is about shape recognition, which is more difficult in mono-spaced fonts.

I made a similar shift a few years back. If you use Visual Studio (at least older versions), it can be a bit stubborn about applying color changes. Restarting it helps.

I'm an MMO hacker that's shipped one unsuccessful game and one moderately successful game, and I have to comment on some points made in this article. -MMOs fail due to bad management, design Partially true. All the elements need to be there
