In case anybody is wondering why they're getting the string concatenation questions wrong, it's because you let your browser translate the page from French.

Though I liked this post, it confuses invisible interfaces with keyboard interfaces, and this is a mistake that many people seem to make. Vim is actually a perfect example for what I'm talking about. In my experience, it's a very

The sarcastic metaphor and the exasperation that motivates it comes after centuries of scientists being ridiculed, persecuted, and even killed by ignorant people.

There's nothing eloquent about this argument, it's a sound byte that reflects a typical "durrr free market" knee-jerk reaction. They sound like the words of a man who's been intentionally duped by the ISP lobby. Fi

I've never heard of the Vessyl before, but it sure looks like something that'll be gathering dust in people's cupboards. It might be a valiant engineering effort, but the concept strikes me as a poor way to digitally tap into

Very interesting! Even though (as you've already stated) the whole exercise is kind of futile and pointless, it is rather interesting. It got me thinking of some other tricks you could do to annoy the person attempting to "steal&

As the throwaway account mentioned, this issue is handled by state law. In the case that I was referring to, the law under which the person was convicted also registered him as a sex offender, so neither path would've avoided that. Wh

You've given me no reason to believe that you're not exaggerating, nor have you given me a reason to believe that your friend's friend didn't actually rape someone.

Sounds like you actually did it then. Even hiding behind a throwaway, you probably shouldn't admit to felonies on the internet. On top of that, if you ever tried to submit that "evidence" in defense of a rape accusation, yo

No, it doesn't work that way at all. Buzz and alarmist headlines might capture our attention for a day or two, but they don't have a lasting impact. As long as no further evidence or testimony surfaces, this will be forgotten by

If you actually did this, and recorded girls in sexual situations without their knowledge or consent, you're guilty of crimes punishable by jail time.

Saw this a couple years ago and downloaded the demo. Even though I think $9 is dreaming for something like this, it was pretty cool. Also, the way the demo "expires" was creative. The static and flicker effects just get worse an

I'm sorry, but your claims sound absurd. Do you have an economic background? What data are you basing that on? I'm neither claiming expertise with oil or economics, but some cursory Google searches seem to strongly disagree with

If this is your main takeaway, it's your values and priorities that are regrettable. Could you be any less constructive?

I didn't see this before I replied to your earlier post. I see no evidence of Minecraft being a platform, so we have a fundamental disagreement there.

You accuse me of trying to turn this into a contest. In fact, it's you who started the contest by inviting comparisons and talking about how Minecraft did something "right" while Second Life did it "wrong." My poin

The thing you're missing is that Second Life isn't lacking any features, because any features that don't exist can be added by the users. If the owner of a region of land decides that they want to create enemies that can att

No, they know how to work in a lab because they learned that during the internship they had last summer. In school, they learned Chemistry, but it was the workplace that taught them how to apply that knowledge in a professional setting.

This Mayday idea and video really have nothing to do with what you're talking about. The focus of this video isn't the bad economy, it's the obstruction of democracy in our system of government. This is the Princeton study t

Your comment and the fact that it's the top-voted one are disturbing in what they imply about the moral attitudes of this community. Everything you've so passionately stated with such deep concern can be summarized as, "Let&#

I'm not so sure I agree with that statement. Intellectual property (as it applies to digital goods) is rarely about inducing scarcity. The purpose of IP-protection tools (DRM) isn't typically to limit the availability of a produ

I don't like rewriting boilerplate code for every new project-- as I see it, Angular is to jQuery what jQuery is to raw JS, just in terms of reimplementing basic functions for the nth time. Of course, if a framework automates a ton of
