Minecraft was developed by one person - Markus Persson (aka Notch), at least till 2011 when it already got insanely popular.

That's one of the reasons why Minecraft is so much bigger than DF. These guys just don't get it. DF can be SOOOOO much better, yet they are working on adding features instead making the game better.

Outrage is useless. Protests won't stop shit. Did they stop the wars? Nope. It's what you do with that situation is important. I'd say an independent party should use privacy as an opportunity, a platform, name the responsibl

It means that every piece of the code must be examined by a human. That's expensive.

The main problem, and many designers make that mistake, is that you're modeling a physical thing inside an app for no good reason. Other than the nice visuals it doesn't help anything. As a designer, you should think of how to mak

You assume you will sell close to 100% of the slots. Which you won't. Not even close. If you sell 20%, which is crazy high, you will have to charge them 5 times the price just to break even.

Holy shit that function adapters example is convoluted. I'd say fewer than 5% of my programmer coworkers would figure out what's going on. func init() { http.HandleFunc("/", errorHandler(betterHandler)

You didn't answer the question. You were asked what features would make a Google Doc user switch, and instead of naming those you went full PR and named the features (at least two out of three) Google Docs have. This kind of dishonesty

"We"? Some cancers have been cured, not by programmers, but by huge well funded teams of researches - biologists, chemists, administrators, lab technicians, interns, etc. Sure, you could join such a team and possibly end up being

It's not about selfishness, it's just that most easy problems got solved, and we're left with really really hard ones. Cancer is so mind-boggingly complex that one person cannot even begin to look at ways to solve it on his

Almost nobody I know works 80 hours/week. It's only acceptable in some industries like finance. Whenever a company mentioned long hours (even well paid ones), I immediately stopped interviewing for them. That kind of life isn&#x27

My point was, the biggest barrier to flying is not the price of the plane, but the desire to jump through all the hoops to get the license, to spend time/money on maintenance, to spend time on driving to the airport.

by rorrr2 13y ago
For those unfamiliar with planes, you can buy a used ultralite plane for under $10,000 in working condition. Something that has been proven to fly reliably.

It turns a series of photos into a 3D model, which has been done to death. Autodesk 123D (which is free) can create a 3D model from just two photos.

I think "text" is english + whitespace + punctuation only, whereas "password" is any kind of character. I didn't create that image, so I'm not 100% sure.

Even if you do go through the code and don't find any bugs/backdoors, doesn't mean there are none. Both encryption and secure communications are pretty hard to implement right.

That's not an ad hominem attack. Ad hominem is "You're an idiot, therefore what you said is incorrect".

How often OS/network/context overhead is the bottleneck? In my experience most of the time it's the DB. Even if it fits in RAM, complex queries always take most of the time. (Web dev here).

You are very naive if you think journalists decide which stories get published/aired. Politicians are PERFECT for this kind of game. Think about it, fewer than a thousand people (congress + high-ranking judges) decide on EVERYTHING. It

You are confusing the speed limit with the speed at which the crash happens. Most people apply breaks before the crash, and do not crash at full speed. http://www.swov.nl/rapport/Factsheets/UK/FS_Speed.pdf Th

Either way, pretty much any accident will result in everyone's death. Car accidents at 50 MPH result in 80% death. 760 MPH is much much much more, considering the amount of energy needed to be dispersed grows quadratically (E = 0.5 * m

And then Snowden2.0 will leak that they monitor everyone. There will be a short outburst of anger, and nothing will happen. Fascism is gaining its ground one apathetic citizen at a time.
