I wish articles like this would namespace their assertions by telling us what they mean by "good" or "bad", so we could avoid the perennial echo chamber debate that goes like this: A: GOOD MEANS SHIPPING AND PLEASING YOUR CUSTOMERS

I find games like this utterly vapid and without any appeal whatsoever. I wonder if there's a name for the condition in which you are psychologically immune to these games, for whatever reason. I'm thankful I have it.

You're thinking too much. It's an anecdote about kindness and greatness and their inherent compatibility. You can't understand it with your head. You have to feel it with your heart.

Just FYI, on this site you reply by hitting the small "reply" link under someone's comment. It's all threaded.

This is well-written, candid and interesting, but I feel like I'm missing out on a lot because I've never played EVE. Can someone who is familiar with the issues (for example, what is "ship spinning"?) give an overview of what led to this?

Yeah, I read it in another comment thread shortly after making this one. ( In the industry, we call this "the art of self-trolling". ) I give you a sincere tip of my nerdhat for pursuit of accuracy even when it's kinda awkward.

Just wanted to add my voice to the chorus. I literally purchased my first Apple product a couple of months ago with great skepticism; I am a frequent critic of iTunes, and Apple products in general. I always viewed Steve Jobs as someone w

Dude, it was CC licensed. Just because he took down his copy doesn't mean he wanted it to disappear completely. Where did he explicitly state that? Nowhere! You're making a big leap there.

Serious question: Have we heard from a human [1] in Bethesda's ranks about this issue? Or are they just playing the silent giant? If I were the head of Bethesda's PR team and I saw this post, I would be having conniptions. Footnotes [1]. "

Do you use the "gradual shift" setting? I've noticed that a lot of people don't realize it's there, and they use the "sudden drastic change" setting, which is very jarring. Also, make sure it has the correct coordinates/zip code for your

I'm so used to reading " Not all who wander are lost" that my brain originally parsed this headline as "All who wander are lost". Then I clicked through and the URL was "all-who- wonder -are-not-lost", so I went back to check and see if

This is the main point: "So the conclusion is: Python forces you to use indentation that you would have used anyway, unless you wanted to obfuscate the structure of the program." You were going to use consistent indentation anyway, right

What does "Sign in with Twitter to contribute" mean? Does that mean I get to contribute to the discussion by posting a reply if I sign in with Twitter? That's what "contribute" means to me, but it seems unlikely, especially given the re

It would be ironic if the "just solve the fucking problem, damn the details" attitude espoused in this post is the reason everything is so fucking complicated. (I honestly am not trying to imply that that is the case; I'm just musing.)
