On the game I'm currently working on, it's built very heavily around Lua. So for the save system, we simply fill a large Lua table, and then write that to disk, as Lua code. The 'save' file then simply becomes a Lua file

I had this same problem and the best case fix seems to be to reset your Apple ID password; this forces you to log out from all devices, and so iMessage will at least error out for people who try and text you. But their devices will never go

This article is a flat out copy paste of the original New York Times article. http://www.nytimes.com/1996/09/29/magazine/the-artificial-wo... edit: An article from 1996, I might add.

Wait did you expect people to read the whole article before jumping up and saying "SEXISM ISN'T A PROBLEM!"? Oh, also be sure you read that phrase in a male's voice. Because there's no way it would ever be uttered f

I'd kill for an app like this that would help teach you electronics at the same time. I've wanted to start doing some robotics stuff, but haven't found much in terms of useful learning resources outside of just buying a full

My favorite part of these things is that they highlight the odd things that can go wrong, even when they are considered and planned for. I haven't read this book yet, but the NYT summary makes me feel it would have a lot of info about

The hotel in Vegas was built with a special film on the glass to reduce the glare by 70%. So they were obviously studying it/thinking about it. But if 70% is not enough, imagine if they had actually done nothing? http://www.

It is a terrible disgusting shame that this whole thing is slowly fading into the backdrop. In a few years, it will just be taken for granted that the US government listens to / stores data on everything you do. I would very much like,
