And if you just can't conjure up the skill required to hear the whole song, the main menu fortunately links to its soundcloud: https://soundcloud.com/dutoncmusic/du-tonc-surging-me…

I think you're referring to the "tyranny of the rocket equation". Learned about it on an XKCD what-if: http://what-if.xkcd.com/38/

Congrats! I love alternativeTo. It's my way to train parents and friends to find the best free alternatives to whatever ad-bloated software SEO'd their way to the top of Google las…

Agreed. A minute of dodging, ship goes zoom, and then a game reset. It'd be nice to at least see a summary of my resources, or a score, or anything.

I wonder if anyone has considered buying a Tesla (free recharges for life), driving home every day and finding a way to discharge the battery back into the grid through their meter…

I've been billing daily but yeah, in my limited consulting experience hourly is way more stressful and it isn't practical to have to account for your work at that level of granular…

"The history of zero is a bit complicated." I see what you did there

The stat sheet ( http://autos.nydailynews.com/compare/1525-1606-1613-3976/201... ) suggests that the Tesla S has none of the features of the other cars (including some obviously fa…

As someone who is currently unable to read music, but wants to learn, this doesn't seem any more inviting than traditional notation. I'm further discouraged by the fact that even i…

Yep. When I got not result after carefully considering my first answer, I quit.

This is disappointing for me, C# developers tend to make less. Then again, young people tend to make less (definitely causation) and C# developers tend to be young, so maybe there'…

"Github got me kicked out of the bar" These headline is super intriguing. Too bad this is only a set of topic title slides with no context or elaboration. Nice slideshow I guess?

I hope these people are carefully considering the many sources of input lag[1], especially display lag, before giving the controller a bad rap. [1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inp…

I don't remember using this feature much, but when I downloaded my block list this is what I found: www.teachexcel.com craftkeys.com softwaretopic.informer.com www.telerik.com eggh…

Worked for me too. Felt a bit laggy, like steering a boat going real slow, still amazing.

Intriguing title, but without anecdotes the whole article feels hollow.
