Minecraft mods are implemented in java, not in minecraft itself. I guess you could make a case that any game with a level editor is a platform. However, no level editor I have seen comes close to what SL does. All these concepts are blurry,

Looking at Second Life as a game I 100% agree with you, however as a platform virtual world sandbox, I think it was a design success (nothing that I know of comes close). Minecraft found a happy middle ground by being more of a game tha

A great custom tailored environment that can be adapted for whatever you might need in the future. I used to balk at it because it seemed like too big of a hassle to setup such a customized system if you changed machines (so i stuck to vani

I was curious so i just tested this to see if it did. It does not. Yes you can have multiple tabs and splits, but in emacs each frame shares the same buffer list as well.

My old firefox tshirt says "Take back the web" across the back in big letters. Now that they have "given the web back", Im not sure I can wear it anymore.

Yes, I'm sure this debate is as old as XML itself. The last edit on that page was in 2013, btw. I agree with you, XML is overkill 99% of the time and I usually don't like working with it. Fortunately JSON seems to be taking over i

"were studied in the pH range 4.9--9.9 at 25 degrees C and in the temperature range 14.8--43.5 degrees C at pH 7.05." Forgive me if I am missing something obvious, but isn't that outside the range of a typical stomach's

Not a doctor so im just speculating, but wouldn't the ADH still be rendered useless when it goes through the stomach on the way to the small intestine? Perhaps this means it would work going the other direction, lol.

I just had an ah ha moment, thank you for that. It looks to me like the trade off is deciding where to put business logic based on what needs to access it. The setup you describe sounds great as long as all access to it is through your ORM.

I share your preference, but I am always curious how others do things. IMO the datastore is the most important piece of a CRUD app, because it is the foundation that everything hangs off of. So from my point of view tracking changes to its

Thanks for posting this! If you look in my comments, you will see that I asked about this just the other day. I am going to have to try this out (esp if i start running into performance issues with emacs running a bunch of ansi-term buffers

This highlights something i don't understand about non-relational DBs. Is there an actual use case for a database with multiple tables of unrelated data or is it a complexity trade-off thing?

Serious question, what does tmux have to offer emacs users? I used and loved tmux back when vim was my editor, but after switching to emacs (thanks evil-mode), I stopped using it because emacs seems to cover all the bases on its own.

I think visual programming works well if its geared towards a specific problem set. In the past I used Talend ETL to generate small java programs and it worked well. However I couldn't imagine trying to do something big with a general
