I was hoping to find Enchanted Scepters in there (I'd guess it would be in the system7 version), but no luck. I tried a few years ago to get it working on a Mac emulator but I wasn't successful, and I have fond memories of that ga

This headline is clickbait. There's a big difference between being a successful entrepreneur and "founding for the 1-in-1,000 fastest growing new ventures," which is what this article is really about. There are plenty of folk

At some point, artificially extended life spans may become feasible and common. It seems to me if/when that happens, a life sentence should be considered cruel and unusual.

My physics isn't great, but why does it matter that these are white dwarfs? The article says "researchers studied six white dwarfs whose _strong gravitational pull_ had sucked in shredded remnants of planets" and "if the

It seems to me that if TextMate 2 hadn't been a complete rewrite, Sublime never would have been able to take over. So I don't know what the backstory is with the slow release cycle, but at a certain point it became untenable to us

I'm surprised by the negative comments here. The article isn't about creating a burnout culture, or forcing people to work long hours. Imo, it's not a bad thing to try to cultivate a workplace where people act with a sense th

Maybe I missed it somewhere, but I didn't quite follow how this is going to gain a foothold. Solid has the same problem any new social media platform has - before people want to use it, people have to be using it. Facebook and Google c

It's shocking to me that half of the soap for sale at the grocery store is antibacterial. This should be illegal.

I can tell you why I haven't upgraded my iPhone 6S: I like my headphone jack.

If community == accounts with fewer photos, and revenue == people willing to pay for more photos, how does getting their revenue from the people who use Flickr in a way Flickr is trying to pivot from support furthering the goal of communit

I didn't see any mention of deleting photos that were over the limit. Hopefully they do what Flickr used to do, which is make only the last 1000 photos publicly visible.

Has anyone here successfully lobbied their management to get rid of the open office plan? A good game plan for that seems much more valuable than headphone recommendations.

I get your point, but in particular GPS satellites are not in LEO.

I had this same problem. Too many interests, not enough time in the day! So I pruned. I actually made a list, and prioritized. There were a few things on there that, after years of diddling around, I'm just no good at. There were a few

Makes sense to me. It's a vicious cycle: feel like you're an imposter, get depressed and anxious, be less effective at your job, feel like you're an imposter.

I have a Flickr account with several thousand curated photos in it. Several years ago I let myself get convinced into turning on automatic photo upload. Before I knew it, my photostream was filled with garbage screenshots and photos of peop

If the chance you'll pick the best option is 37%, what is the chance you'll pick someone in the top 2, or the top 5? Another way of asking is, does it raise the odds you'll get someone really good, even if they aren't th

So what were the results? Are pedestrians jerks? Do other cars cut them off?

I think pairing can be different for different people. I've often heard people saying that "the zone" comes more easily when pairing. Personally, any zone I'm feeling pairing has a different character from one achieved a

I took that course. I didn't gain much from it. There is some interesting theory about how we learn. The best (er.. only) trick I remember: rather than re-reading material, reflect on it for a few minutes after you've read it, try

Exactly what I was thinking... but when will you (and society) be comfortable with a therapy that goes into your brain cells and edits their DNA?

Whoops - there's also a BudgetingRow that needs a very similar hierarchy of support structures! Clearly, the system needs some refactoring - perhaps there's a pattern that can be extracted. Hopefully, though, my point came across.

I think this article ignores or glosses over the hardest part about naming, which is when you have to start naming things with abstract behavior. Naming things with analogs in the domain is easy, but when you find yourself trying to follow

I'd love to see more on how he manages his "to learn" pile using Evernote. My current strategy is to let things I want to read live in open browser tabs until my browser crashes. Rinse & repeat.

I'm no expert on philosophy, but I feel like consciousness is a subjective experience. So externally there would be no difference, but I'm pretty sure I'm conscious. Of course, I've also heard of the illusion of consciou

As creator, are you responsible for the well being of the sentient beings? Are you morally prohibited from turning them off? Can you reset to a save point, possibly undoing the creation of some of the sentient beings?

If we're living in a simulation, the question of whether AIs can have consciousness is solved.

Can someone who knows explain why Wells Fargo is inventing a new API rather than using OFX? Is OFX deficient?
