> It makes a lot of sense. People don't need a CS degree to do programming or even to be really good programmers. Even more so (and maybe more shockingly) you don't need to be a ca…

Yeah, neither can I. Lucky for both of us, that is not what this application is about.

If you want to compose even better emails, learn how to be good with formatting. The linked article makes a fine case of how to. Just like paragraphs (which are just another form o…

Yes. But more importantly, that was a Futurama reference: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6cjx4gJFME0

Getting in touch with two foreign languages in school is not uncommon, but speaking up to four (including your mother tongue) with any sort of sophistication definitely is not norm…

Apologies, I should have been more precise: A cpu will win when you start isolating and creating a scenario to test for APM and TTFA (obviously), so if you are interested in advanc…

It comes down to what you are interested in. Right now DeepMind seems to be focused on beating humans on strategy and tactics, which is reasonable, since those are the contested ar…

Well, since you can literally build game engines in free spreadsheet apps, probably none, but, as you noticed yourself, the selling point is the UX/UI, which seems to be excellent.…

Any game/activity that you have to join a club and pay a membership for (i.e. Golf, Tennis) and also play professionally would qualify, so a subset of entertainment, engagement, ex…

To be clear, this is not Spotify blocking small artists without a label getting on Spotify. This is about bands not being able to upload directly , requiring them to use any of the…

Nope. Just like physics is exactly not how an atom bomb got dropped -- in an extremely important distinction between physics and atom bomb dropping -- there is a very important dis…

When things go bad government should intervene to protect people. These steps are always going to be extraordinary, because the situation is extraordinary, but it is the very role …

It gets tricky as soon as you need labels and/or more complicated visual feedback attached to "dumb" buttons. The touchscreen is "lazy" in that it can defer thinking hard about you…

> As a User Experience Professional, I was never able to grasp the true user's need for touch screens in cars The flexibility to benefit from rapid product iteration. If you think …

> A self-host solution by its nature requires some investment in the techniques and would take greater effort (that's how most open source projects make money). That sounds like a …

Seems like a really obnoxious way to communicate though. If they want somebody to do their best work and really do not care how much time it takes them to get there, they should ju…

> I don't think that counts as "overprotection" Rest assured, I don't think anyone else does either.

> By all means, make them safe enough that kids won't get maimed or killed - but keeping kids from ever falling far enough to feel any real pain is probably counter- productive in …

> We've had so many generations of Web frameworks, but presumably it's still not a solved problem, because we keep moving to new ones I do not think that it is not a solved problem…

Rocket League is mostly about its potential as an esport. Buying everything seems like the straight forward way to handle this.

I do not think it is that clear cut. Unless the bank assumes full responsibility for any kind of security breach, including social engineering, you need to be allowed to take care …

Really cool! And not only that but very intuitive and fun to use. I can see a lot of music makers who lack the theoretical background get great results out of this.

> Well, this is a discussion forum. Absolutely. While I do mind your opinion, I don't mind you giving your opinion. > The "if you don't like it, move along" argument is fine in gen…

This sentiment really, really bothers me. Yes, in reality humans are all sorts of weird, creepy, flawed, not super happy or good looking. If this is what you risk when sharing on t…

I don't think any of these points are particularly strong, and yet any bet against a new venture is a safe bet, because failure is the overwhelmingly likely outcome.
