Viewing profile — nosideeffects

A lot of HN dwellers with high HN achievement points are getting a little sensitive here.

Or you could just go outside and not get the trophies. Edit: The fact that the only other activity on this post so far are reactions to this comment, or downvotes to it, kind of il…

I think I've seen this point repeated in many other places. Priority applies to only one thing at a time.

Only level 12 by November 20th? The desire to play must not have been that strong. He already got side tracked with something that isn't getting him any more loot.

I question the significance of reports like this one. It usually appears to be a claim by a certain vendor that popularity translates directly into usage, but I think that is rarel…

The URL should have little to no effect in the grand scheme of things. Several factors go into their page ranking algorithm, and it is constantly changing. The content the page is …

I wasn't aware that avoiding death was the main impetus for a standing desk. I thought staying mostly awake for the entire work day was a primary motivator.

Why does it take so much effort to use a garbage collected runtime efficiently? Wasn't the purpose of a GC in the first place to make things easier for the developer?

Getting a little tired of reading these rants. People are building "applications" that just happen to run in the web browser, for convenience. They aren't building repositories for…

Drugs don't increase "skill," though. And on the contrary, if everyone was doping I think the event might actually be more interesting to watch since the average fitness of the pla…

I see and hear "autistic" used as a slur now, too.

However, depending on how flexibly you can program it, it may not be quite as useful.

Changing my habits is hard, can you please prescribe me some medication instead?

Why are _kernel_ issues excusable but UI issues are not? I think you have that backwards.

Harvey Lubin, why did you have to be THAT Apple fanboy and ruin the constructiveness of any comments on this blog post?

I think you completely missed the point. Using your own analogies of teachers, this would sort of be like a local government letting all the teachers know that they will be teachin…

I don't understand the % either. They state it is graph of _throughput_, with higher percentages from baseline being less throughput? If I hadn't read the backwards description I w…

Two lines out of the entire article mention those. I would not exactly call that "plenty of non-graphics examples". There are many more CPU intensive processes besides just those t…

I agree. It uses the term "tech" in the article and fails to mention everything that isn't graphics related. Even if you decide as a game maker to forgo 3D for whatever reason, you…

To bait dem' clicks!

Reading a whole lot into fabricated memories, I imagine the new entities might have an entirely new set of memories of things that never happened.

Why did they choose the 98th percentile, specifically? Why not 99th and friends?

Anytime I see "Not needed" instead of "No" in a feature comparison chart, I am inclined to just stop reading.

Maybe a lot of people are interested in the science of ego-stroking.
