The "enjoyment graphs" might explain why I like D3 more than D2, despite the fact that according to many in the D3 forums it is a horrible game. I played D2 back when I was a college student, so I had the time to spend in those long troughs

You make good points. "Is there an objective criteria for distinguishing between good and bad obsessions?" I think that the nuance we are trying to capture is the difference between being passionate about something and being obsessed. And I

If you're a gamer and are looking for a way to get some physical activity, I suggest trying out fencing. I recently started taking lessons and I'm having a blast! Fencing is a sport that appeals to many aspects of a gamer personality: it re

Six hours a week? I used to play four to six hours a _day_ of CounterStrike back in college. And let me tell you, that's one of the biggest regrets of my life. Most of my friends consisted of people whom I gamed with -- I barely made any fr

In fact, if a painter (or user of Leap) were to continually rest their elbow on some support, they could compress the ulnar nerve and cause cubital tunnel syndrome. If you've ever hit your "funny bone," that's the ulnar nerve. Heck, conside

I don't know much about CSS, but I think what happened is that their source for the fonts have taken the files down. For instance, one of the referenced fonts is http://dshap.com/fonts/Gotham-Book.otf which now yields a 404.

The fonts are horrible in Firefox 12 on Windows XP, too.

I remember when my wife got her iPhone 4S. We were heading out to somewhere and, having an Android phone for work and seeing that her iPhone had a Google Maps application, figured that we could use her phone to help us get to our destinatio

I don't know enough about programming to make a comment on the quality, and I should have mentioned that in my initial post. I was trying to convey my experience of the teaching in each course, not the quality of the material. But yes, from

Some of the courses on Udacity no longer have assignment deadlines. I'm not certain what I think about this yet: on the one hand having hard deadlines means that each "semester" of students stays on the same page and the instructors can res

That's a really nice site. Thanks for making it! I think that a useful feature would be to allow students to comment on / review the courses. This will probably become more important as institutions start to offer similar courses.

I'm currently taking courses with Udacity and Coursera, and I've noticed one huge difference between the two that I hope edX learns from: whereas the Coursera class is structured like a traditional class online, Udacity's course designers s

If you like this and also like games, try out Imaginary Range on iOS and Android by Square Enix. It's half graphic novel (with animations and transitions, although perhaps not quite like the post) and half game.

Richard Fisher, CEO of the Dallas Federal Reserve, pointed out the threat of Medicare to the budget in 2008. As you can imagine, it's only gotten worse since then: "Please sit tight while I walk you through the math of Medicare. As you may

A friend sent me a Groupon for a local bakery. It was something ridiculous like $20 worth of food for $10. Since I had heard about the bad relationships between businesses and Groupon, and since I actually like this little store, I declined

When looking at silent install files for ANSYS, I discovered that the install file simply records the keystrokes the user makes when a setup is recorded. That means that it also records any typos and backspaces. I must have really had troub

An interesting story about Musashi, and what may have influenced some of what he wrote prior to his death, was his encounter with the monk Takuan. Musashi saw a snake approaching the monk in mediation, and witnessed the snake simply crawl o

But you can teach new techniques in the context of full pieces, gradually introducing them, to great effect. This is the whole premise behind the Suzuki method of music education, and it's highly effective in cultivating not only technical

I remember having to do a similar compiler assignment in C in college. I think that it was the key assignment for making students believe that programming is absolute drudgery and in no way fun. It was the culmination of the semester, and c

Yeah, that's the feeling that I got also. Although given the financial backing of his opposition, perhaps he feels that he needs to assault Lamar Smith on any occasion that he can. Also, it seems like his main audience is other Republicans,

After a few emails with DH support, I discovered that there was a file created by another user in two of my accounts. Somehow the permissions for two directories had been set to 777, and a compromised user put a trojan in them. I think that

I understand what you are saying, but you've just shown how versatile substitution is. If wheat spikes they can substitute oats for the time being. If chocolate spikes they can substitute sugar candy. However, I think that when a non-econom

I've read that most of this money came from retiree savings, which are rapidly running out. Furthermore, the younger generation doesn't have such savings, yet alone the population, to keep such a thing going. In a sense, this system of inte

Actually, substitution is used in the CPI basket of goods. Fresh fish can be replaced by canned tuna, for instance. More amusing is the application of "hedonics." This is perhaps best explained by an example. Consider that the cost of gasol
