    The fact that you're playing around with a game engine and using phrases like "distributed business logic" tells me you have a long road ahead of you.

    This comment says the exact opposite of what you're praising Rosebud for. The debugging not only wasn't helpful, it actively made the game unworkable and unrecoverable.

    Some easy answers: 1. Not all articles will be relatable to everyone, and that's perfectly fine. 2. Your "what if" scenario is trivially surmountable: write some code at home, for …

    Similar story for me! Back when I had feet, there were so many days where I had anxiety over forgetting to tie my shoes. Sometimes I would start the day with my shoes untied. Other…

    If the product has to TELL you up front that it has a "beautiful and intuitive user interface", it likely doesn't. And the Tour page has a screenshot of the application titled "Stu…

    A game like this with a million variations is almost immediately uninteresting. It makes it seem like the rules / strategy aren't fully formed and doesn't feel like something worth…

    That's the point. Adding the LED does very little to help the user understand the state. In the end, you'll just push the button anyway to make sure.

    What, exactly, are you talking about? The OP is referencing the fact that the wife got _everything_ in the divorce. I'd be curious to understand why "facilitat[ing] his success in …

    >> The paragraphs about git were interesting, in the sense that the author themselves suffer from the industry's "I'm right and you're wrong" motto that is the reason, by the looks…

    This kind of over dramatizing is tiresome. "Demonic chords" (what's a demonic chord, anyway? Are bees buzzing in a tritone? Are bee hives playing chords?), talking about it soundin…

    So what? These people will no longer be your run of the mill "runner". They will be augmented, much the way we're augmented by using bicycles and skis, etc. The original claim that…

    This is hilarious, and completely absolves everyone from bad decision making like this. My immediate reaction to 23andme was "there's no way in hell I'm sending something as privat…

    This is exactly the behavior I would expect from someone with a psych PhD.

    Seems like this idea is well within the capability of one person to run and moderate it for free / fun in their spare time.

    That's a shame you find less than 3% of it interesting. Have you tried this website called reddit.com? It's just chock full of interesting things and rational discussions. You'll l…

    > I don't "run further" because of some random need to do more, but because this is an input into my health, and more health is always better. Pretty dubious claim. You really thin…

    So not only do you gain a meditative and rewarding practice of washing something by hand, it sounds like it incentivizes you to cut down on frivolous spending on clothing as well.

    We must have very different definitions of the word "friend". I don't count someone I run into on a walk a friend, and I don't think this would fit the definition for the majority …

    Came here to say the same thing. This adds absolutely nothing to any reasonable understanding of matrix multiplication. This is the most complex way I could imagine trying to expla…

    OP just told you it was in the spec, and then linked you directly to it. You're just repeating your previous post without adding anything new. Here's a more direct link: https://pr…

    So where's the proof that the function'd code scales? As the complexity of the overall code grows, so would something that gets chopped into dozens of functions to the point of bei…

    Why would you lie about this being pretty neat? Seems like a weird thing to clarify.

    I have no idea why you're being downvoted, but yes, I've noticed the same. I commented this exact same thing to my girlfriend about a week ago. Everywhere we go, there seems to be …
