This is an interesting reaction. It could seemingly apply for the game creator or the "Let's Play" creator. For the game creator, their work is being built upon without permission or license (other than, hopefully, a single g

I agree with the points you've made, but I would also posit that adding a dependency using this mutable package manager is making a commitment to maintain the integrity of that dependency, which is arguably more work than maintaining t

I completely agree with your description of prematurely setting in stone the interface between two subsystems (which could be modules/libraries or independent processes.) If a chunk of functionality is identified as a candidate for a m

I have a similar experience. When browsing articles and blog posts online, I definitely don't hear a voice unless the author uses a noticeable conversational tone in their writing. Especially if I'm familiar with the writer's

Wow. This rung a bell for me. I wouldn't have known how to put it so concisely, but this is exactly how numbers automatically reveal themselves to me visually when I'm considering them. If only that extended to the size estimation

Since you're here, I just want to thank you for the most thorough, accessible, and pragmatic Erlang writing I've run across. Cheers!

I just spent two hours hammering away at a handful of thorny puzzles in this game. I broke out a graphical editor (Monodraw, you're awesome) to prototype ideas. I took many, many photos with my phone. I drew intricate diagrams in a pap

I would posit as a counterpoint that improving compilers, programming languages, and programming editors feeds back into improving the open-source tools available to tackle the problems of others. Hopefully, we eventually arrive at a series

I'm far from an expert, but what I've heard about Denuvo's latest generation of DRM tech is pretty clever. The details that have surfaced from their PR and independent analysts is that they're verifying the integrity of

As someone who casually browses articles about DRM technology, I'm really impressed by the partial descriptions of Denuvo's method. They seem to have found a way to thwart piracy (for some large value of thwart) without disrupting

I once had an audiophile coworker describe how he listens to his favorite records. In his words, the way it was intended to be listened to is probably (but not always) the closest thing to the artist's desired vision. A 2016 blues albu

I found myself in a similar position a few years ago, looking for a new job after a startup had floundered, and felt really stressed about jumping into a new organization with false enthusiasm. I didn't want to lead any company on, but

I was recently in the market for a newer SUV and the thing that struck me about every single touchscreen jammed into them was how obsolete they would seem in the near future. Even now, they're clunky and unappealing visually. My microw

That's a really interesting perspective. I didn't know that Canadian internet providers operated that way. I wonder what the effect would be like in the US, given that we could muscle last-mile competition regulations through. Tha

I agree that there needs to be more competition in the provider market, but I think the issue that the author and I have with usage-based billing is that it artificially stifles competition and innovation for a wide variety of industries. A

I really enjoyed this article, but it made me realize that I don't have a good understanding the goals of the voir dire process. It reminded me of job interviews, where certain questions are off-limits in order to hopefully limit the e

Hah, same here 9 or 10 years ago. University of Kansas recommended it for their intro to software engineering class (I think) game project. My project team created a shitty RTS that used pirated starcraft sprites. All I remember was that im

The free content for ad views model is only tantalizing for web publishers because the internet, which they did not develop using their marketing budget, provides access to billions of eyeballs for very little cost. That fantastic bargain c

This is kind of an interesting situation in that telepresence was considered presence by some subset of law enforcement. While I think that angle won't hold up to legal scrutiny, it's interesting to ponder what local laws hold up

Yeah, I have to imagine that this company (or at least its current brand incarnation) is done. The primary thing that they're selling is discretion. That trust can't be rebuilt.

I'm going to avoid addressing the community-created offender registry idea, because like you I'm not sure how to even begin evaluating its potential harms. But I think that law enforcement will inevitably create something of the s

I can totally empathize with the large form woes, having worked on a couple of similar client projects with similarly unusual requirements. Angular (the first version, I hear awesome things about the latest), in particular, fell down hard w

For what it's worth, I also work on a fairly large React application and haven't run into organically strange performance dips. If we're designing a component to do interesting things with unbounded data sources, we absolutel

That's a fascinating comment! As a piano and guitar player only, I have little to no understanding of other instruments. I was shocked when watching Whiplash that drums needed to be tuned to particular keys. This reminded me of a reall

Thanks for the explanation. I love focused products like this with a borderline insane attention to detail. I'm giving the free trial a shot right now.

I really enjoyed the article as well, though I wouldn't consider it one-sided. While it aims to argue for changes to the current state, I thought its derivations of police culture and behavior were directed at the forces that shape the

Wow. I'm unfamiliar with the project, but their planned features would be amazing in any language. I'll give it a try, for sure. Detecting HTTP servers and interacting with them in an iframe is especially brilliant.

This is an interesting topic. Eviction inflicts a disproportionate harm to those least-equipped to bear it. While rent-control inflicts a purely proportional harm to those best-equipped to bear it. But rent-control also inflicts a difficult

I'm in total agreement here. The fight or flight response to anxiety feels really hard to overcome, but it is possible using these and other approaches. Something else that I feel like I should mention is that if you're feeling ov
