Many people are still upset that it ever included Amazon results - the article casts doubt on the idea that this is even a victory for privacy advocates since it took so long for Canonical to back down. I say "better late than never&qu

That page actually doesn't use the word "crowdfunding" anywhere, but "campaign" does seem like an odd term considering how they're framing it. Marketers are gonna market, though. What else could they call it...

I'm a noob when it comes to making serious stuff using javascript, but react has been a godsend so far. Actually allowed me to make progress without a hideous amount of spaghetti (not that my code is beautiful). I've been enjoying

I think the idea of a quick-time event is to make a cinematic experience more visceral/engaging, so it's not necessarily lazy... I mean it is more work than just putting the cutscene in after all. Anyways, maybe it's misgui

Kingscrusher is a user on YouTube who has a ton of great chess videos. He covered the Sinquefield quite a lot - here's the first encounter between Carlsen and Caruana: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KfgRWM6IfP0&lis

First of all, successful streamers tend to have entertaining personalities (at least their audience thinks so). Other than that, I think there are a few main reasons why people like it. 1. Sometimes you just want to veg out and watch someth

If you can't rely on current working directories then you have to specify any file locations absolutely? That doesn't seem like a good idea because then your code quickly turns into a hot mess if you ever have to change where stuf

I think its more about the magnitude of innovation. Twitter barely does anything new. It's not really that fundamentally different than a mailing list... The reason it's a big deal comes from the fact that tons of people use it -

What isn't a plane ride away from the US? The moon? The Earth's core? I'm actually wondering about that now...

You're not alone. Things are getting better, though. Drivers are definitely still an issue, but I think because of Steam's movement in the Linux market a lot of progress is going to be made... of course, maybe all this SteamOS stu

$20,000 in 1964 equates to $153,483.87, according to [1]. The population of china is currently 1.365B, according to [2]. A dollar today is equivalent to $0.04 in 1914 according to [1]. I should add at this point that there are a lot of diff

Did anyone look at the site for that other company he was talking about? On its about page, it says: """ Tibanne Co. Ltd. is a Tokyo, Japan-based corporation founded in 2009 by Mark Karpeles, a young technopreneur with more t

Police departments profit as well. They are able to confiscate all kinds of "evidence" like the car a dealer uses when they're selling drugs and then auction those items off. It's an extremely perverse incentive which mu

I don't quite understand how Mesa and device drivers play together... can someone explain this for me? I read the wiki ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mesa_(computer_graphics) ) and this ( http://en.wikiped

This is certainly interesting, but it duplicated my own nav on my webpage. Don't know how it could be smart enough to detect that even though I have a very standard setup. In any case, I suppose it would be good for a quick and dirty s

And we all know how bad the tooth paste bubble was! So only the best games will rise to the top now... I fail to see how that is a burst bubble.

tl;dr the indie space is more competitive than it was a few years ago and it's hard to get noticed Well maybe that's not fair, but that's the impression I got from this. That is very different from a "bubble" poppin

I wonder why it wasn't this way from the get-go... Oh well, at least I'm actually interested in it now. Can't wait for the Linux version to try it out. Pumped that they did the right thing and open-sourced it so that it actua

Ugh, Zenimax legal is the worst. I mean, maybe they have a claim - Carmack was probably working on Oculus stuff while employed there - but I find the idea that businessmen own everything a programmer works on just because he's an emplo

I really liked LyX when I used it back in school for my proof-based class's homework. I even used it for my resume - which I have to say came out looking very neat and professional for not a ton of work! I don't have much of a rea

This looks awesome - I have been wishing for a resource exactly like this for a while now. With my first game under my belt I learned the hard way how difficult game programming can be. I need some high level advice and this looks perfect.

Oculus does have a real, physical, available product - I've used one personally that my friend bought (albeit through the kickstarter page). There are definitely people who are interested and it actually worked relatively well. Maybe i

Does Silicon Valley have a laugh track? I don't remember one from the first episode, but I watched that a couple of weeks ago. Often (not always, though) shows with laugh tracks are an entirely different level of "not funny".

That video is painful to watch... I know there's clearly a bit of a language barrier, but this guy sounds like a complete dingus. Then again, he's the guy making a cool ~$60 mil a year so what does that suggest? I wonder what a gu
