What are you talking about? There are very few indie games that are open source, especially if you filter for those with any real popularity. The biggest issue I have with the indie scene is that so many of them are solid base engines or ae

I’m American born & raised, and know of no Americans who are concerned about gloves while cooking (though you do need to wash anything touching raw meat before moving on). On the other hand, Koreans I’ve seen seem to almost fetishize th

The problem is that there’s no disincentive to creating laws that are eventually found unconstitutional — a malicious actor is capable of producing ill-formed laws faster, cheaper and with less effort than it takes to identify and remove th

Assuming everyone is an idiot, and designing around that basis, seems like a great way to foster a community of idiots. And unlike stackoverflow, there’s not really any good reason for anyone to think a top-level comment is somehow authorit

That’s it’s utility as a currency. But the only reason you care about it being a currency in the first place is because of its purchasing power — value. Once it has value, then those properties are meaningful.

I think ultimately the problem is that Wikipedia assumes journalists should be treated by default with a degree of respect above “professional gossip monkeys”.

This makes no sense. A software is being used to recommend prices for a given property, and this somehow constitutes an anti-competitive cartel? There’s no apparent reason for the software to represent non-market prices, and AFAICT, there’s

In terms of whether it’s poor/reliable design, I think the failure mode and dependency chain is much more important than capabilities. The glovebox example has two key features your windows example does not: 1. If the glovebox fails fo

Childcare (specifically thinking of daycare) strikes me as a low-skill job, so labor volume should be fairly high -- excluding I guess things like extra-filtering for background. And as far as I can think of, there's no substantial upf

Never really looked into it, but if the kernel overcommits memory, and multiple applications actually utilize that memory, it would occur outside the scope of malloc, right? The kernel can’t pass an error to the app because it could occur a
