This would be so great. It's really difficult to get a good video stream for displaying text, and often the only recourse is to go for super high quality, which is killer if you have limited upload rates.

I read the page, but that doesn't seem clear to me. If they have encrypted versions of my files, they still don't technically have access to them.

Can someone give me a quick rundown on how this works, vs security of files? If it's using the bittorrent protocol, wouldn't that mean that all your files, even though encrypted, are easily gathered by a third party? Or does this simply mak

I've been making games for nearly 15 years now. I am an early 30s white man. I am good at what I do, and can work anywhere I want, at this point in my career. I'm happily married, though we don't have (nor want) kids. I think the article is

1. Yes, a solid revenue stream from previously released projects. The company had no problem spending money on frivolous shit. 2. No, it was a videogame company. 3. See above. 4. Two weeks, though in my case I was able to argue them to thre

Just so people understand where these questions come from, since some of the replies are suggesting I was asking the wrong questions: -I worked at a place for 4.5 years without a single raise. -I worked at a place that blocked every port ot

You can be a good cultural fit for a job even if you don't fraternize outside of work hours.

Questions I have learned to ask (the hard way): -Do you do performance evaluations / raises? -Do you block any part of the internet? -Do you allow working remotely? -Do you have a sane sick day policy? -What kind of basic hours per week do

Right, but if you want to avoid a certain level of hypocrisy, blindly consuming works from content creators whose views you do not know is at odds with actively blocking one simply because you do not agree with his views on a subject which

Here's the thing: You probably disagree and even loathe the personal politics of many of the artists whose works you enjoy, be it writing, paintings music, games, etc. If you go down the road of selecting works based on a merit outside of t

I would love to see stats on how many infections happen per platform based on this virus, since it's on both Windows and OS X. I would expect to see a higher penetration on Macs, since I assume people using Macs don't have the higher level

Yes, but given the context of "renewable energy sources", it is misleading use of information at best.

I find that I agree with the article, but thought that the article would be about how inspiration itself can be procrastination. I know I have a problem where I constantly have so many good ideas that I end up stuck in a loop of never finis

Yes but if you forget to open them all up, Chrome will lose that grouping in short order. Which has bitten me more times than I can count.

If you are interested in a far more terrain like generation, the link casually mentions Diamond-Square at the bottom, but I wrote a post a while back that goes into much deeper detail, after looking at one of Notch's ludum dare entries. ht
