This allows aspiring game developers to learn and build their own games from the code. All the repositories are GPL'd, so I'm assuming they meant build in a purely educational setting. It's a nice move, but why not go all the way and le

Where/how do events fit within this framework? Couldn't find any explanation of it on the project page (or here...).

I believe a huge amount of programmers want to provide open source code to open source code projects, not for proprietary projects. Why not? Worst case scenario, some people use their software without giving anything back. Best case scena

The thing that really got me thinking about sleep as a precious resource was being diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnoea. I was getting to the point where I was sleeping for 14 hours and waking up exhausted. I often wonder about sleep a

This post reminded me to look for open source code to handle multi-logins, I'm currently in the planning stage of a project. These seem quite comprehensive. Is there any reason why I would be better off rolling my own code? http://www.omni

That being said, its never easy. Emotions never are. Emotions do seem to have a life of their own. They seem like the results of deep and unknown mechanisms that I unfortunately have no control on. The best I can do is know myself better

Id Software feels like an anomaly regarding to open source in video games. In web development for example there is such a strong and diverse community supporting frameworks and libraries under permissive licenses. Why hasn't something like

Thanks for sharing, I think it's very interesting. Don't give up on explaining it though. I'm sure with time and effort you will find a way and/or the words to explain it. If we all spoke more about how we perceive the world, we all would h

Most companies handle this with a well architected wall of PR. DHH is managing to be direct while maintaining full integrity. I don't think it's embarrassing at all, it's quite an achievement, and it's hugely refreshing to see. Curebit not

I completely agree. It's sad that we've let cars completely take over in detriment of quality of life. I worked on this set of visualizations on traffic in the center of Madrid a few years ago: http://trsp.net/cow I found the numbers stun

I empathize with not wanting to become cocky, but I feel like you're lying to yourself. I could see them as truths if we were talking about triathlon, but something intellectual and logical as programming? If you are able to reach the point

With PHP and PostgreSQL we could scale up, but it felt really hard and gave us many sleepless nights. Using Node.js with a MongoDB backend scaling up is quick and easy; but because Node can handle more traffic, you don’t need to as quickly

5 comments so far and 4 have either missed the point or are distracting the discussion into lessons on semantics. I'll definitely fail to put it as well as the author did, but I believe the point wasn't "surprise, copyright doesn't exist",

sound occurs in my head What does that mean exactly? Could you describe it? Does it sound like physically outside but you realize by logic that it "didnt happen", or is it clear right away that it's an imaginary sound?

Not knowing it is something of a shibboleth that suggests one isn't familiar with the basics of the profession. I appreciate that it isn't too much of a shibboleth for you and that you could stick around, I'd be interested in knowing a li

couldn't you just design it with a small clue, such as an arrow, which would open a drop-down menu when rolled over (on a computer) or tapped on (on a touch device)? I really, really like this idea as a solution to fix possible hidden rol

Affordance is a clue something gives regarding its use. I misinterpreted your "What is the affordance of invisibility?" question as in "what are the benefits of invisibility?". Thanks for clarifying. I didn't know (and couldn't find) that

My work involves designing interfaces and this discussion could help me understand this topic better; but like the author of the article, your post shows some intense frustration towards rollover-only elements, but none made it very evident

Worth noting that the Clang Static Analyzer is bundled in XCode (I think since XCode 3.2).

What's not reassuring to me is that people are satisfied with this. Let's get real, GoDaddy is trying to dampen the outrage with very little. It may be a good sign - and we should feel happy - that we're starting to make a difference, but

I agree. This boycott is starting to make a difference, but it's too early to declare victory. We've made it this far, we shouldn't give up so easily. If we buy this PR talk without further questions, then we're fooling ourselves to think w

Quoting a comment under the question: Language preference aside, the fact that no language has good support in the browser, the server and stand-alone totally baffles me. I do wonder about this. I don't think the challenge of the task is

So by "spring to life" the writer meant "we may, if we're lucky, finally see a glint of something". It's very exciting, yet the writer put it in terms that will scare the living hell of any uneducated person like me. Glad there's always HN.
