Gabe Newell rightly pointed out that piracy is a service problem. People pirate if getting access the legal way is prohibitively expensive or too much of a hassle. I can easily get access to any game I care about at a reasonable price on St

For a horror/slasher movie inspired version of this, check out the smartphone game Slice HD - it's "multi-touch-fiddly" the same way as this, but any time you mess up, you get an unnerving impression of having your finge

Ah, ok, so the part that says time always flows downwards in Drakon diagrams just means under normal circumstances, not _always_. TBH it wouldn't be all that useful if was limited to only layouting DAGs, so I'm glad that's th

I find this applies to media production too. When you use something like LaTeX to write a report, it seems kinda obvious that the .tex file is source code and the generated .pdf is the binary built from that source. You use markdown to writ

It's lucky for tech companies with EU customers that a ruling has only been made regarding a low-hanging fruit like Google Analytics that is relatively easy to replace. Exactly the same reasoning can be used to essentially ban the use

I see the point of the call, but I don't see the point of manually sending the email every time. Unless he's manually researching each user and trying to incorporate that knowledge in the email, then an automated email will appear

It seems pretty obvious that a totalitarian petrostate, that bribed its way into using a global sports event as a massive PR push, doesn't care. What matters is whether we care that they don't care. What matters is whether we care
