A very clickbaity title, yes! But crucially it's 100% true. Part of the reason I wrote this is because CM is not getting much exposure right now and I'm worried it is going to die quick death within months after launch (like TCD).

The predominant answer around here seems to be that it's not worth it if you are doing it for external rewards because the experience you could gain in that time would be better. More work experience might be a better way to improve yo

Oh, but Ray Kurzweil says we'll have an AI beating the turing test in 14 years, so I guess we're fine.

Either you are misunderstanding the usage of "hack" in that context or you've written an intentionally clickbaity title.

The game just launched. I know quite a bit about it (having won $1500), so feel free to ask me anything.

I've noticed the same thing on reddit for as long as I can remember. Obscure comments that are polite, useful, and avoid controversial topics routinely get down to 0 or -1 points. I know this is all rather meaningless, but something ab

Very interesting. I checked out your website and noticed it doesn't mention you have a Raleigh location; maybe you're already aware.

At the time, I weighed 180 and benched about the same. I was less concerned with the numbers than just how it felt like I was hitting a brick wall and at huge risk for injuring myself. Bench and overhead press were the two exercises in SS t

I tried Starting Strength a few years ago. I was really pumped about the program, but I had a lot of trouble with it. I read the how-to sections multiple times, watched Rippetoe videos, and even sought out a trainer at one point. No matter

This is sort of what I've assumed recently. I hear this a lot and it always sounds like there is an implicit "do you disagree?" after the first statement to which the person is responding "no, I agree with you."

I'm very happy for you, but I'm not sure you even know what willpower means. >In my opinion, successful dieting isn't a willpower issue.... I wake up and plan my meals in accordance with my diet plan. I then only eat those

The top and bottom of that range is an entire meal difference. Or put another way, if two people on opposite ends of that range eat 2320kcal daily, we expect the person with the lower metabolism to gain 50lb a year. Awesome. This is where

You obviously have a high metabolism and abundant energy and willpower. Otherwise you wouldn't say "dieting was not difficult" or it only takes "a bit of time each day." Not overeating requires willpower every wak

I agree. It reminds me of the beltline around Raleigh. It's a circle.... I always envision it and explain it using clockwise or counterclockwise. However, when you get on at the eastern most point (3:00 on a clock), you are given optio

I read this, all these tribulations over years, and then just chuckle as I remember all the people who love to call Notch incompetent.

The myth is not clearly defined at the start, but it goes that people avoided water because alcoholic drinks were safer to drink than water. What you're hinting at is that people often prefer to drink something else for flavor/v

As someone mentioned in the comments (and the post author dismisses), a reasonable version of this myth might be constrained to sailing. I found an okay discussion on it here: http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/archive

While I'm a big fan, Rohrer might be a bad example. He's simultaneously well known (your average dev is not) and yet lives a very austere life style and puts artistic goals ahead of profit. For instance, his latest game won't

If the data were worthless it would also make the promise not to sell pointless, paralleling my original point. But I actually think there's plenty there, even if you just include the posts. What turns out to be valuable can be surpr
