I don't think people don't care. It's just like sales/marketing - you need to communicate the value of artistic games to the people. No one cared about quality in the early days of film/tv either. But, eventually, s

If anyone wants to play a game that's also incredibly artistic, play this.

Not unlike the rest of the entertainment industry, the vast majority of philosophically and ontologically compelling games don't make it into the mainstream. As bullshit as the Oscars are, they at least try. There is no equivalent in t

Now I find no particular joy in implementing archaic and perverse protocols but often the quickest way to progress is to re-implement them from scratch. whaaaa

Thanks! Is there a press release for a website that doesn't discriminate against AdBlock users?

I mean. If you can't substantiate that claim with anything more than "think about it," I'm not sure how to answer. I get that "space spaces" and "personal space" both have the word "space" i

Agreed, love the post. Kind of wish other programming languages were seen the same way.

He's arguing that Medium owns the distribution rights to your content. Which... if I were to be partial to him, I'd say Medium can monopolize the public's attention as to where we read content. Like Amazon and Books, PornHub

Uh... are you just comparing one 2-dimensional graph with another one? According to BJ Fogg, your automated onboarding should have worked. My point was that it's fundamentally an issue of trust. High-touch onboarding is not the only so

by shockzzz 11y ago
It sounds like they need to have high-touch onboarding to maintain growth from like, 1 -> 1000 Users, but at some point it'd be outrageous to maintain that process. If they don't have trust, they have poor Marketing, few Users,

Yeah, I go back and forth. I find Ruby aesthetically pleasing, but, in a way, harder to understand. Python represents a lot of "truth" for me. I would definitely say, though, that I find Ruby development to be amazing. And I find

Oh yeah, that's for sure huge, but BigCorp isn't paying market price per container. I'm talking about the sales tactics played out against the little guy.

My objection is this paragraph: You don’t have to support old browsers and terrible setups. But you are not allowed to block them out. It is a simple matter of giving a usable interface to end users. A button that does nothing when you cli

Hm. 1000% sure it's a Sales tactic. Price it high and cut "deals" for clients. Oldest trick in the book.

It's nearly impossible to verify that because: 1) Most of Buddhist scripture is not translated to modern languages 2) There is so much of it. Which Buddhist scriptures? Zen? Theravada? Tibetan? Tantric? It's hard to say which text

I'm talking about any of the Buddhist religions. Many of the claims you make here can be made of the Abrahamic religions as well. And, I call bullshit that you know what's in the Pali Canon. The vast majority of it is still in a

Buddhism has by far the lowest score of violence of all five big religions of the world. Not to mention that when that violence did happen [...] it has been condemned as explicitly not-buddhist by the wider Buddhist world (for violence has

Which earlier writings? The Pali Canon, which is the earliest, is FILLED with theistic notions. Zen came wayy after, which was more or less predicated on earlier Japanese Buddhism that integrates a great deal of Shinto beliefs. These are no

I can't stand people who say Buddhism is not a religion. In many, many, MANY ways Christianity is as much a philosophy as Buddhism is. People also don't realize that Buddhism in the West is specifically catered to Westerners who a
