    Seems like no one's commenting that the study isn't actually about marijuana - it's regarding the access to the cafes. My instinct tells me that they're probably not entirely off o…

    Often when I see something about 4d it uses this same analogy: a 2d being seeing a crosssection of a 3d world, in 2d. However, the video is in 2d, and it's able to show 3d in a muc…

    > These days, when most people talk about AI they’re talking about machine learning. There’s not any of that in SF2. Actually, AI for games is pretty much never equivalent to AI fo…

    I use the keys on that row, and having physical keys gives me the useful tactile feedback that I've pressed a key. Sounds dumb, but it's real - it's the reason that keyboards are m…

    A quick peruse doesn't show that there's a way to only commit certain parts of a file (like you can do in vanilla git via `git add --patch`)

    Or just turn off notifications on every message? I only get notified on @mentions and I don't feel like I'm oncall.

    Re: Generators - I don't know why it's so hidden, but the Enumerator class allows you to make generators ``` enum = Enumerator.new{|y| a = 0; loop{y enum.next => 0 enum.next => 1 e…

    Re: back pressure - that's what I was most interested in, and I was sad to see it not addressed. I got a silent brass mute for my horn (trombone) a couple of years ago, but found t…

    No - it focuses advertising efforts on people who have visited your website. So, you look at a jacket, but then aren't sure you want to buy it, retargeting makes you see that jacke…

    That's my point: I feel like software salaries are so much more than decent living wages. I don't feel bad about what I do personally, but I feel bad about our industry as a whole.…

    Yes, it is a lot of money. Those professions make a lot of money too. I feel a little guilty because I have friends who are doing things which are way better for society (teachers,…

    That's orthogonal to the point, though - when I write ruby, I don't care about how it will get parsed, I care about how it will run.

    Not to be contrarian, but flux is nothing like nomic. Rules in flux don't interact in unexpected ways (there are a few variables that change, notably, draws per turn, maximum hand …

    If you click on the "Try demo" button it doesn't do anything.

    I think OP is commenting on how they are calling it "One-Day Apple Shopping Event" rather than actually mentioning black friday.

    Doesn't it seem like a bad sign to say: "Here is where you should learn about UI - just ignore the bad UI." For all I know there is lots of good content there, but I'm immediately …

    Looks nice, but pretty rough around the edges: things like the hover on the bookmark links flicker, and when you drag notes it selects text as well.

    Certainly not. But I can certainly empathize with a complaint raised in the article. Essentially, if you know "Lighten up" seems equivalent to acknowledging the lack of respect bei…

    Not true, if you live in the city.

    To me, this sounds very anecdotal; it doesn't match up with my experience (also anecdotal). Remember, not all courses are made equal. I went to a tech school, and transferred after…

    Interesting post, and certainly a valid issue to discuss; however, although I can see where you're coming from and needing examples to draw on, the way it is written hard to read i…
