What happened to "innocent until proven guilty"? That's just a fine where they assume you'd pirate stuff in the future!

You can't find everything on streaming services, actually. Sometimes your only hope is to find a torrent and make a "back-up".

That's a very reasonable question - for all we know, the numbers might have been even worse!

>The universe will remain unperturbed no matter what actions you take (or don't)! This is an interesting idea - theoretically, there should be a possible action that "perturbs" the universe. It's a matter of scale an

I guess that's why they call it "surviving the test of time".

I really wish the hypercasual trend would go away. It's closer to slot machines with ads than to Tetris, and I think games as a medium are worse-off for it.

Mobile and Desktop are different beasts from Web Frontend and require different (although related) skillsets.

Here's an idea to improve this site: make the texts searchable somehow. Ctrl+F -> "JavaScript" shouldn't yield 0 results.

The best way to access the iOS ecosystem is by using Swift, so that makes it a bit of a special case.

It's not easy to balance between the needs of your stakeholders (investors/owners etc) and the needs of your actual users. I imagine that many companies experience a sort of death spiral once they start focusing too much on profit

Implementing an unpopular measure (more tax) is almost equivalent to political suicide, and people in power tend to want to stay in power. So yeah, technically it may be easy, but politically (which is what really matters here) this is almo

Greed seems to be the primary engine driving humanity as a whole. IMO the most viable path forward is to find some overlap between our desire to obtain and consume more, and the pressing need to reduce greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. Ma

I think humans are generally bad at prevention of and good at reaction to catastrophes. The next 50 years are going to be interesting... let's hope we leave the world in a manageable state for future generations.

Sounds interesting, could you elaborate? Why did you have to find a new job? What were the problems that ruined your project?

Well okay, but is it the ultimate liability? What if 2x the code gives you 10x the value?

I've been in a similar situation in another company, where the whole team was working 12 hour days for a week or two to meet a deadline, but those didn't really feel productive... and the project ultimately failed. I believe it wa

Programmer here. I worked on a 4-day week for about a year between 2017 and 2018 for a small consultancy company. The company needed the help of a senior developer but could not afford a competitive salary, so I offered to take a pay cut al

Bulgaria is stagnating and growing more corrupt... even though we are already very corrupt to begin with!

Very good point about Russia - and I would expand it to most of the former Soviet block and Eastern Europe. Democracy only works if voters are competent and the vote counting process is fair. Without rule of law, you get coerced/bribed

Interesting, though I doubt that there are real-world examples of purely centralized and purely decentralized corruption. Also, is centralized corruption a subset of decentralized? I'm from Bulgaria and it looks like we have plenty of

Then again, you are not the company. If anybody speaks for the company as a whole, it's the CEO.

Here's an idea: the gaming community as a whole needs to come together and think of the most offensive insults possible, that do not refer to race/gender/religion/nationality, but rather refer to player skill or the wide

Then again, lots of studies point towards the keto diet being equivalent to a moderate-carb (e.g. 100-200g for an average person) diet that has the same amount of calories . Personally, I think low-carb diets seem to work better for most p

Sounds like a cool idea for a free open-source project. Too bad your Patreon for it would be somewhat underfunded...
