It is glorified gambling, but contribution to the world has nothing to do with it. You may have noticed that the author's confidence was entirely based on emotional, results-oriented thinking (look at that big pot I missed!) and compl

A well-raised point. Not colourblind here, but as someone who remembers the days when visual cues were used, I feel your pain. FWIW, I find using `tab` to bounce around links in the main text helps. Further than that, if you use `vi` on s

I was really excited until I saw all the guns. There are much cooler things you can make with a CNC. Now I'm creeped out.

I don't get it. How is this a DSL? Programmer with a couple of decades' experience here, but no ruby. I have no idea what half the tokens in the example mean, or what changes would be valid beyond editing the four obvious values

This is why I don't play modern games: the big houses seem to be hell bent on "realism", not catching on that we've been in the uncanny valley for over a decade and are not getting out. A computer can't simulate t

Not a spook, but it bugs me also when I'm asked to give my name to identify an order. I have an unusual name that people find difficult to pronounce and spell. Meanwhile, there are five Matts behind me who have each ordered different

Tcl (1990) doesn't directly have macros, but with a calling convention that resembles fexprs it doesn't need them: proc swap {_a _b} { upvar 1 $_a a upvar 1 $_b b foreach a $b b $a {} } Foreach
