> unfulfilled by indulging my whims You see, that's what I don't get. There are _so_ many things to do that interest me. I will never have enough time to do them.

Assumption of good will is a trap that naive people fall into. If someone can take advantage of something, it will happen.

Why do people link this dude here when you get redirected to that picture every time...

I disagree. It does, just not at the rate that it could.

inttypes was pretty big, right? I know it's just one header, but it's an important thing to have in the standard for a systems language.

Send someone an anecdote from my life every month. Not that my life is interesting, but it would be worth the effort from my end.

The only difference between this and Overwatch going by those criteria is that OW is not as easy for first time players. You've hit it on the head, the key difference is that somehow Fortnite crossed the boundary to mainstream.

Along the lines of show, don't tell, the best one I've found is http://mightybyte.github.io/monad-challenges/ It helped me grok monads after I had a hazy understanding of them for a while.

Free speech is one example, through probably not for all european countries. See Germany's defamation laws as one example.

How much cpu/ram does this take up on a pi? I imagine it's a nice interface to have.

100% this. If people want to push diversity initiatives, go for it, but I think there's no way that leads to real change without starting from the ground up i.e. cultivating childhood interest. Teaching about important women in CS help

That is amazing. My family had one when I was a kid and I loved it, but what they did there is insane. Way more than I would have thought possible, and I hold that console in high regard.

After reading a lot of writing by both Hintjens and Sústrik I came to the same conclusion. It's such a shame they fell out, I feel like with a little compromise on both sides they could have come to a workable place. There would have b

I'd like to second the important of staffing. If we were in a perfect universe we could use domain oriented languages for every project because devs would be familiar and competent with them. Obviously that is not the case.

Would you rather be xXTheRealMrGuyoramaXx or mrguyorama_123 instead? I really don't see how it's that different. It solves the problem of first come first serve, without forcing people to come up with the random meaningless bits t

If you're referring to the tagging on Steam, it's in addition to the regularly displayed username. If you're not, I guess I'm not sure what you're talking about.

The former battle.net (now Blizzard App) does what many games do and has the form "Username #XXXX", where the xs are digits. So you can be Frank #0001 and I can be Frank #0002. Steam allows you to tag people on your list with user

Depends, I assume. The original Destiny had color palettes for every type of color blindness iirc, you could select whichever one you wanted. That was a really nice feature for a FPS, where you need to be able to determine allies/enemi

In order to maximize my pool, should I choose 123... variants? Would I be lowering my chances of success by reducing the median quality of members?
