You just unironically argued that chat applications are not about communication, while Slack is. This makes no sense, as chatting is communication.

MSN Messenger with Pidgin as the client is the best IM experience I've ever had, at least for one to one conversations. There's also something to be said for identifying contacts by their email addresses, since even when the IM in

Google ignoring their customers is a recurring theme,, and I'd like to think that I have a pretty good list of tech news that I follow. Since this is HN, which (at least used to) primarily cater to the startup crowd, I hope it goes wit

Now this is a topic that might raise heated discussion so don't get baited into it, but a lot of anime and hentai content does cross the line. Drawing a 13 year old girl and saying she's 18 doesn't really change it.

It is safe to say that it is unrealistic to expect that developers in the real world audit their dependencies. I'd imagine a feasible solution being a permission-based system (which might already exist), where programs and their depen

I never managed to play any games in the Avadon series, because they don't have as good keyboard shortcuts as the Avernum series. One of the Avadon games even has a Linux port, which wasn't done by Jeff himself

The article is about more than just his new game. All the criticism that he addresses is about his previous games, and even the title of the article is "Why All of Our Games Look Like Crap". I'm quite certain that the comment

As expected, a lot of people in this thread are giving "valuable" advice about his art style. Jeff's self-ironic way of saying the game looks like crap and calling his art style inconsistent seems to have set the tone of the

Microsoft advertises their own products and wants you to pay for products in their ecosystem. They will shove the same stuff down your throat (Azure, Onedrive, etc) pretty much whatever you do, which means they don't have a vested inte

Even when Microsoft does FOSS, they do it in a way that has "proprietary" written all over it. I'm quite excited about writing C# on Linux, but slapping a MIT license on code you release is only half the deal. Yesterday I dec
