I don't fully understand why architecture is so bitterly divided between its factions. I am the son of an architect (loyal to his faction) and I like a lot of that stuff and a lot of other styles, including much made of concrete. It se

Both PS4 and Xbox One came out just as 4K was starting to get into market (prob a bit ahead of where 8K will be when PS5 launches), and it was frustrating that we had to wait 4ish years to get 4k support. Committing to 8K early means the sa

This article would be so much better if the author did not keep pausing to editorialize and interpret the opinions and perspective of her subjects. Trust the reader to draw their own conclusions. This style of writing insults our intelligen

I realize intimately how hard it is to get by in SF and other big cities, so I won’t criticize the renters here, but I have no such hesitation about criticizing the founding team and investors. Turning apartments into tenements could never

Yes, but there is probably a lot of value in the network you build would would make those remote jobs easier to get.

W3W seems to me like it adds more confusion to finding places than it adds clarity. The word choices involve tenses and plurals, which makes them seem quite east to get wrong from memory. This is exhibited in two of the carousels on their h

This article's title strikes me as condescending and annoying. There are 'reasons' to travel by train for a lot of people. My cousin has a deep fear of flying and hasn't done so in several decades. So he travels by train

Classical music in film and tv more commonly signals erudition, not simply villainy. When there is a class conflict involved In film, the higher class characters are more commonly the villains, and an appreciation for classical music signal

Deserts are often teeming with life. The term refers to rainfall, not population. There are plants and animals equally deserving of protection, and it is worth protecting for the same reason any other biome is. If you look for beauty and ba

Posts like this make me want to remind people that there ARE good places to work. If you’re stuck in this kind of BS, there ARE alternatives. Just like relationships, there are many job fish in the sea, so don’t get discouraged, just find a

How many times have I listened to that song and never once thought those words meant something... Nice to join the party, even if a bit late.

Isn't the problem here Twitter? These posts were 'public' and BandsEye seems to be simply scraping via the Twitter API. Twitter enables this use case by denying users any control over how their content can be used. There will

Members of the acquired company had a 7 year run between King and Activision, so not sure it is fair to attribute layoffs to either acquisition.

I understand the reservation about an IPO changing their motivations, but it seems like a pretty predictable path for a company that has raised >$600m. It does not seem to me obviously better (for developers or their customers) for Unity

Library of Congress document search is great, and a good model for how PACER could be done more effectively. No user accounts, no paywalls, no ads. Just free access to documents owned by all of us.

These grand strategy games are always my theoretical favorite genre, but I just don't have the patience and/or time to commit to them (beyond the relatively simple Civ entries). I am equally envious and dismayed by friends who tel

Developers are able to distribute their apps outside of the App Store, on Android. There is a lot about Apple's restrictive approach I don't care for, most notably forcing digital subscriptions to run through App Store billing, bu

I think the poster was using deliberately provocative words to call attention to the emotional angle of the debate, not making those judgements themselves.

My uncle used to tell a story about taking a studio tour in the 1960s where part of the tour was being a test audience for Lost in Space (he was a kid at the time). The whole family had a pad with a dial and you could turn it one way to dis

A big part of it is just how expensive it is to live here. She mentions 3k on rent, for example. Kids are expensive as well, so while salaries can often appear high, the costs often scale to match. As she also mentions, it sounds like a lar

Just one opinion here, but I've played a /ton/ of Destiny in a fairly casual but consistent way (e.g. no raids or Mic) since launch, and I think it is fairy underrated at this point. There were definitely droughts along the w

I agree that there are risks, but at the very least you and your neighbors can a) identify corruption or mismanagement and b) work to vote corrupt leadership out. Much harder to do with Comcast. (And for the record, I'm all for real co
