RunUO here too. I'm still in touch with many of the people I met between the RunUO and UOGamers communities, and lots of us have gone on to work in industry. Don't know where I'd b…

Eh, I personally find GitHub more useful for line-by-line nitpicking than for high-level, architectural reviews. GitHub PR diffs encourage reading code in an arbitrary top-to-botto…

That was a reference to this channel YouTube uses for testing: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCsLiV4WJfkTEHH0b9PmRklw

Going off-topic a bit, I highly recommend you peruse the forum over at the Reviewing the Kanji site (koohii.com). Even if you have no interest in the book the site is based around …

That sort of hyper-abbreviated writing has largely disappeared thanks to spell-check, predictive autocomplete, and so forth. Emoji can certainly stand in for text, and I see plenty…

Yeah, they're wildly popular with just about everyone I know 25 and under, especially on sites like Instagram. There's even been a music video created from them: http://www.youtube…

I think UberX has the potential to become bigger than the taxi market. In the vast majority of American cities, especially in smaller ones, taxis are not readily available and are …

You can do this in C# (and presumably other languages). I've seen people using Greek symbols in mathy code before. It's kind of fun.

The dark UI option is a nice touch.

I don't think it is. I'm in St. Louis and the default is San Francisco.

I love this. The boarding pass design is a nice touch, although I still feel like I'm going to fold it in a hurry to get it out of my hands and not in the way they intend.

Here in St. Louis, Lyft is under attack from the Taxi industry for not complying with the same regulations those companies work under. It's been an interesting battle so far. You c…

>Dre didn't create his music (*sampled) This is a highly ignorant statement. Sampling recorded music is in fact a very musical process, from the first 20th-century musique concrete…

You can say the same thing about any large purchase. Ultimately, you've lived long enough at this point to know your shoe wearing habits to some degree. If you're the type to wear …

Sure, but your identity persists across all subreddits. If someone makes an insightful comment on a programming subreddit, for instance, and has a high karma score, you may be disa…

I think this is true for HN, less so for reddit, and that it generally depends on the nature of the site. On HN, we have a small-ish community of people (who are often experts in a…

The first half of the movie gives a really great image of the Chungking atmosphere, so definitely check it out. I highly recommend it on its own narrative strengths too of course.

People plan poorly. There's a lot of money to be made helping people through that. And when these services are widespread, people will be free of the necessity to expend energy "pl…

If a beginner does want to tackle SICP, I recommend they follow the MIT 6.001 lecture series on YouTube. It's much more manageable than simply diving into the text, but makes a gre…

Judging from the ToC, this seems way more Operating Systems-centric than Computer Science, doesn't it?

That makes sense to me, but when I think of cultures that are big on umami I don't see a lot of obesity, so I'm not sure if the point connects fully.

Intolerance of an intolerance is not equatable with the original intolerance.
