I was wondering this as well because...pokemon came along...when? After my time, anyway, like late 90s. And then kind of died down, I think, or at least wasn't a monstrous craze at least. And now in 2016, does it mean…
I wonder how common the use of "ain't" is today. I grew up in the rural US in the 1980s, and it was common. And today I don't hear it, but I live in a more... well, educted area. It throws me off when I see it in…
My take on it is that puzzles and games are doing things by hand, and the point of programming in general is to do things once and for all and save humanity the trouble of doing things by hand. Not that there's anything…
I feel it's a good development that we no longer hear about Linus so much--unlike in the 90s, when it seemed he was taken excessively seriously.
I don't follow PUA stuff and had to look up sigma. For anyone else: It's a term for the cool outsider/loner who gets the chicks.
The only band that mattered.
You know, I felt really troubled to have been using something for 20 years and realize things had changed and it was no longer right and no longer good for me. I felt like a fool for having stuck with it for quite so…
I've certainly wondered why they weren't interested in being more transparent.
I used to run it, and I'm not sure there's value in it anymore. They often don't stay on top of security updates, and compiling anything just got worse and worse. The last straw was the fanboys at the linuxquestions…
I used it until a couple of years ago, but it often wasn't getting security updates and compiling anything for it was becoming more and more trouble. So I left and I don't miss it.
This is certainly a big issue. In the comments, I see of course how it's so vital for all of us, and yet our problems and our advice...varies because we're all different and it's hard to express what we are and what we…
Do you have insight into why you want to corner the market on money?
It became more interesting to me in the middle with 'Perhaps full independence is unlikely – but what about greater devolution for London?' and 'Localism has been a big part of David Cameron and George Osborne’s agenda,…
I wonder what the author's reasoning was in being quite so self-congratulatory.
No, I know about that one. There something else with an extra -at- syllable that I encounter often enough that I'm surprised I haven't just run into it again since I made that comment.
I don't like deletion very much either in general, although I've seen librarians defend themselves with 1. that they totally don't have room for stuff 2. for kids' stuff, at least, if it's science, our knowledge has…
I believe Bret Victor said in a talk that we don't see civil rights violations and think, "Oh good, an opportunity"
I partly feel embarrassed to have been wrong after all, and partly feel relieved that everyone hasn't just been losing their minds in recent years. There's another one that everyone's been sticking an extra syllable in…
Lakoff and framing seemed to be in the air around 2003 or 2004, and it was a very good development. And then everyone forgot it, or maybe were encouraged to forget it.
Orientated? I wonder whether implementated will be a word one day.
On some sites, I have a tendency to click on the scrollbar and drag it instead of scrolling with the keyboard -- and then when the infinite scrolling kicks in, I find myself suddenly way down the page off in the weeds…
Glad they gave up, but calling it collaboration and speaking of thanking is silly bullshit.
I like how he touches concisely on what brought this all about, what caused it to go as it did, and assorted effects it will have. I mean, as opposed to when we get links to articles from the atlantic or the new yorker…
I tried to make a database of sorts as a kid. Reading about relative files and such in the commodore 1541 manual: Went very well. Writing a program out on paper: Went very well. Getting it to work at all on the…
Ah, the bullshit american dream. Now I have to look up who it was with the "They call it the American Dream because you have to be asleep to believe it" line. A good line. Internet, at least, believes it's from George…
