Any take on why a simple timer isn't sufficient?

It's difficult to take this article seriously given the terrible grammar and obvious technical errors, often in the same sentence, e.g. "The researchers then combined 96 bits make [sic] one byte of data..."; presumably "bits" should be "at

A good writeup. A pity more of the source wasn't released (say, excluding the game physics and logic); I'd be keen to see how they structured their code and it'd be a great "cookbook" reference for somebody new to building HTML5 games. (At

General idea here is correct, but the post itself is scant on details. For anybody interested in a detailed and practical guide on constructively handling criticism and anger, David Burns discusses the "Disarming Technique" in his various b

Thanks for the detailed answer :) I had similar concerns about performance and compatibility. I'm not too keen on learning and maintaining code for two separate platforms, though, so I may end up just sucking up the differences so that I ca

Great write up! I really appreciate the clear structure you provided in detailing the various components of your project, as well as the detail in describing the choices you faced and your rationale for the choices you made. I will be using

I transfer domains regularly between registrars because the transfer costs tend to be cheaper than the renewal costs. I've noticed that the last character of EPP values tend to be minor punctuation ([,.] etc.), which is ignored whenever I d

Your experience with drug abuse doesn't justify your opinion on how to deal with the drug abuse problem. Portugal's DATA does.

That's a very interesting observation. I almost wonder if their focus on physical reality is a symptom of whatever it is that makes them such good business people...

I was of the impression that your conclusion was the same as that of the author of the article? (And it's pretty much where I'd place my bets.)

I too am surprised. In my mind, it has long been inevitable that - at the very least - the wealthy population of the planet will retreat into a virtual world, ala "The Matrix". It's not just the benefits of instant, unlimited sensory grat

Unfortunately it's difficult to guarantee discretion - for all you know the person you're contacting is the brother of the candidate's boss's girlfriend, for instance. Furthermore, in my experience, references like to know in advance that t

I had this idea about 2 years ago and didn't bother building it when I looked at the competition in the space (evidently many people have had this idea). Now I see these guys have 500,000 users... I guess the space was larger than I thought

Agreed; my response reads a bit dismissive, but I did enjoy the article. I would still love to read more about the process of a (presumably innocent) person becoming a dictator. Were they molded, and if so by what forces? How much of it

Yes it's more like a collection of anecdotes that have almost no bearing on the title.

It's not just about confrontation. mkn's "analysis" is built upon a ton of extraordinarily negative assumptions about intention that don't appear to have any real justification at all. More importantly, it's not a very constructive post -

What you guys are doing would be the equivalent of Geocities offering a one-click-install animated rainbow GIF background for websites... Just because lots of the Geocities customers would have chosen to install such a 'product' doesn't mak

This looks like a bare-bones version of GTD. Which may be better than the more complicated versions e.g. doit.im.

Given the level of effort involved in such a construction and the low quality of this blog post I suspected this post to be ripped off. A quick Google later revealed the original and much more awesome source: http://tesladownunder.com/Xma

1. Risk is a normal part of doing business, especially more so for a startup, and it is logical for a business owner to want to reduce risk. As you say, there are many sources of risks to employees that have a direct effect on the busines

Very interesting, thanks. I would want to deploy ASP.NET MVC3-based web applications so restarting the web server sounds like it'd be my only option (I'm not going to waste my time re-architecting things if it's eventually likely to run out

I initially struggled with Git on Windows (TortoiseGit was buggy and I'm not a fan of command line) and passed it up for Hg. I took a look back in April (since I liked where GitHub & Bitbucket were going whereas the equivalents for Hg

Perhaps I'm not reading this correctly, but all of this seems to be presented as a static personality trait, which doesn't match my experience. When I was younger, I used to fit the description of an introvert precisely. I found myself dra
