I had a 1999 Honda Civic Hatchback! Best car I ever owned. The only issue I ever had was a little component which regulates the amount of water from the radiator getting stuck, which I've since heard a few other people had the same pro

Ok the video on the home page is very confusing. I couldn't understand why it was demoing that you can play a game without waiting for the full install..when the video only runs games that are already installed. Turns out that's j

My personal pet peeve with the English language is the placement of symbols at the end of a sentence which change the inflection of the sentence? Oh that was a question, I guess you didn't know until you got to the very end of the sent

oh wow that's perfect! In fact, this does something a little extra I wish Unity could do - because I can play the edit scene and game scene side by side, I can modify experimental properties at runtime, then copy+paste them into the ed

This looks amazing, and I really hope it gains some traction. That being said, one of the biggest annoyances I had trying to switch to Godot from Unity is that their Scene view doesn't reflect the Game view at runtime (you can see the

"When a program has nothing surprising to say, it should say nothing." Which sounds good in theory, until you run into issues like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tLdRBsuvVKc TLDW: Most of the Gitlabs outage

Ha, that's not too far off how some places work now. I remember a friend getting into a huge argument with a girl behind the counter at a fastfood joint. He wanted a burger and fries and no drink, but the girl said it's cheaper as

I remember a search engine working like that, but I forget it's name. Dog something? It's ground breaking idea was, hey all these search engines kind of suck and you have to go to about 10 of them to find what you want - so what i

I think it's maybe a trick card? Nothing else in the scene jumps during the 'edit' (he's moving his arms around at the same time), and you can actually hear the card make a little 'pop' noise as it jumps up a b

An article on HN a while ago posited that 'bad code' is directly correlated to forgetting what the code does over time - not the code quality itself. When you green-field a project, everything is fresh in your memory and the code

"because of the Liberal government's Online News Act" That's an odd sentence. Shouldn't it just say "From the government"? Seems weirdly leading to point that it out as "because of the liberal governm

Earning money from this site doesn't particularly interest me. Raising money for charities, and using that as a fun bragging metric to friends totally does. If you want the community to have a great vibe to it, seeing top level users w

I do game development on the side, just fun small indie games. I like using twitter to follow other game devs and see what they are working on. It's fun tracking down new devs and seeing new and interesting projects, and it's fun

I think it was also the timing that the books came out, and that they were more or less travel blogs with card games and shoot outs. To quote a post on a forum where they read every james bond novel, there was this interesting tidbit: &quot

My personal pet-peeve is designers removing hyperlink underlines from everything. You can never tell what is a link and what it just plain text, sometimes hovering over it doesn't even activate any response. Links have underlines for a
