    This has been my experience as well, even after trying to follow a few guides.

    While it makes sense, "I'm a ludophile" is way too easy to mishear.

    I see it less being an issue of violence, and more of an issue of conflict being the only means of resolution. It's become so pervasive, that a game where you don't fight or compet…

    I've been thinking about this lately, and I wonder how much of the problem is a result of the games themselves. A majority of games, and almost all "real games" (as categorized by …

    It looks like a disaster on FF as well. I don't understand why designers have been on a binge of typefaces that look like unreadable garbage.

    Not sure why this was downvoted, I'd like to see a DartVM as well, once the spec is standardized.

    Man, that's a lot of effort put into something so hateful and deplorable.

    There's a pretty decent discovery mechanism. The more you rate, the closer you are to the front page. It's not perfect, but I don't think I've gotten less than, say, 50 people rati…

    Do it for yourself. Don't worry about comparing your work to others. If you make something you yourself are proud of, then what does it matter if Notch or Terry Cavanagh are partic…

    There's two parts to a jam, the theme and the time limit. If you throw either one out, you're not really doing it.

    I think this is mostly a reflection of tech/science reporting. Batteries are hard. They're complex with many factors into what goes into a good battery. But the moment a lab create…

    No, I'm not out right discrediting it, but given how little I do in web and how small most of my experiments are, I probably won't use it for a long time just because I don't need …

    A lot (a majority?) of websites aren't made by people that need those things. A lot of people just want to get their ideas up on a page so they can show their friends. The thing I …

    True, it's not exactly fair to compare getting started with a language and getting started with a framework, especially one as opinionated as Rails.

    I don't do much web development, just a product once every year or so to play around with an idea. Always in PHP. A few months ago I was asked by a close friend to help them with a…

    I have the first 4 books, but reading that makes me want to get it as an e-book, as well.

    What would you call the middle ground between the two of them? I feel like I spend a lot of time reading, but I just can't bring myself to blog. I've had one for years that has may…

    Ok, that makes me feel better. I've been watching and waiting for Windows support to get better, and I'd hate to have it fizzle before I really got to play with it.

    >If Servo (written in Rust) isn't faster than Gecko (written in C++), then Mozilla won't continue funding Rust. Rust needs to be fast in a very existential way. Ouch, I didn't know…

    Other than the official documentation, you'll probably have to wait a few days/weeks.

    You might want to do some moderation on tags. Looking up "Android" brings up "Android", "Android Development", and "Android App Development". Looking up "Golang" returns "golang" a…

    It's not much better in the US. I live in Atlanta and I feel like I'm missing out on most of the fun. If you're not in SF or NYC, there's a lot you don't get.

    Isn't this essentially the point behind 4chan?
