MLS is the only one that has a good system at this point. Say what you will about Apple TV but the "all games, no blackouts" setup is pretty sweet. I truly hope other leagues take note and find a way to copy this.

I think it's still abstraction by definition, but you're right in that it's a much larger single leap than in the past.

I saw these on display at Pinball Expo in the Chicago area last October and they were magnificent. My kids loved pressing the buttons and seeing what happened, and I had a great time walking them through what's happening. The amount of

For an extremely specific and rigid use case / workflow, sure it's a close alternative. For most people that want a flexible, extensible product that can do many things in many ways, it's probably not nearly as close an alter

How is raindrop when it comes to reading? My understanding is it's primarily a bookmark management tool.

Houston is okay to live in. I lived there for 30+ years and while you're not wrong about your pros and cons, those cons severely outweighed the pros more often than not for me. For instance, the zoo is great, when the heat isn&#x27

I have a ton of love for Andy Weir (Project Hail Mary, The Martian) for the exact reason you describe. Not only does he love the hard sci-fi bits but he clearly loves doing the homework so he gets it right.

I love the inclusion of commentary, I bet aspiring game devs out there could find that quite useful. Are there other games that provide similar commentary?

I agree, it would be a bad idea. But I also think it would take time for the average user to feel the negative effects of such a short-sighted decision. Enough time, perhaps, for an IPO and cash-out for the c-suite at reddit.

You're correct if you hold the assumption that they actually care about the quality of the content. I definitely don't think it's a good idea for Reddit to do that as it will eventually create a substandard product. However

Wow! Exercism has come such a long way over the years. It used to be just the mentoring arm and a simple CLI and web UI. This looks fantastic these days and makes me want to give it another go!

I recommend throwing some airport metadata my way, rather than just the map with pin. For instance: City/country, IATA/ICAO codes, lat/long, etc.

IMO it's ok if the initial answer to "where do you want to be in X years" is a shrug of the shoulders. Defining that can be important but that doesn't mean it has to be solely on the employee to define. Good leaders will
