I've been thinking about this ever since reading Snow Crash. But then how would your character walk if both hands are occupied by holding a gun? Some sort of 360-degree treadmill? And then how would the game provide physical feedback (say,

Excellent! I've been meaning to get into Emacs Lisp, so maybe I'll use the API to create an extension or lightweight alternative to org-mobile, with this client as inspiration. I've been meaning to do the same for Google Tasks (which I use)

Being told that you a) are possibly homophobic, or a closeted homosexual and b) enjoy certain privileges as a white, heterosexual, (cis) male Is not meant to be a personal attack, IMO, but a wake-up call. Read it again, as if danparsonson w

English doesn't distinguish between male and female because it's important, it does so because it is sexist. Read this[1] to see what it would be like if our language were racist instead, and then you might see that sexist/racist analogies

I double checked, and according to Wikipedia, he's right. The homicide rate is 3.2/100,000/year for the most recent year with data, compared to 5.0 for US. Although many countries do have lower rates, India is nowhere near the more violent

Ignoring the scandal in all of this, I don't think the product would work for me for the same reasons other sleep tracking apps didn't: added stress. While waiting for my WakeMate to arrive, I tracked nearly every moment of my sleep with th

Thank you for engaging me in this thread. I still think you're missing the point, if you think people need it pointed out to them that there's more than one reason the poor are poor. Well, they do, but not if they've read this article, sinc

There is so much wrong with this statement and way of thinking that I don't even know where to start. I'm upvoting, because I don't want this comment to disappear, but it's still wrong-headed. 1. Answering the first quesiton directly: No, t

Well, both vicious and virtuous cycles involve positive feedback (i.e. in the direction of current change). The difference is that virtuous cycles tend towards positive outcomes. The whole piece uses terms with negative connotations to conv

Stay motivated, but keep in mind that your body gains strength/endurance/etc during your rest periods, not while exercising and breaking down muscle. Unless you're seeing good results, I'd consider more full rest days.

Isn't this what inotify and related programs (incron, etc) are for? I expected it to at least be based on python-pyinotify or python-inotifyx.

Look closer at git, and you'll see that it's actually a collection of smaller programs (each of the git commands is made as a separate executable before being combined into git)

No, try reading it again. "So if you decide someone is stupid, it means you’re not thinking, which is not being smart." "Not being smart" != "is stupid" is exactly the distinction he is making.
