I've always marveled at how one can pick any year since the internet went mainstream and in that year people thought, "Oh my goodness, the internet is amazing!" Then, move five years forward from that year and look back. In e

This is absolutely true...but it takes a LOT of time. Fortunately, I first picked up a guitar when I was 13. I can't imagine getting started with any instrument as an adult. Actually, I'm trying to improve my piano playing right n

Or maybe they are just greedy, terrible human beings.

100% agree. The real battle isn't the actual exercise. It's initiating it in the face of endless distractions.

I've made games in Löve and with straight Python and it's always a lot of fun...though challenging at times. Where I tend to struggle is with the overall game structure. Without being an actual professional programmer (nevermind a

Fun game! And the subtle animation effects are great. One suggestion...it's unclear to me why I would sign up. Maybe offer a few details so I know why I would sign up for this.

I was wondering the same thing and I'm in Chrome. The "Horizontal" and "Vertical" sections don't seem to do anything, but maybe I'm just not understanding what I should be looking for?

Ahhh, there it is. That's a good approach.

I like this randomized reservation approach. What if, in addition, a nominal fee was charged just to have a chance to purchase a Steam Machine? Let's say $3 (or whatever). Then, all that money is donated to an organization like Extra L

Thanks for the tip! I've never heard of Stylus, but am checking it out.

I have a firm rule of leaving any website where I run into this behavior. No exceptions.

I hate this new web behavior and leave sites immediately whenever I run into it.

Oh yeah. Totally agree. What a character Petersen is. Used to marvel at him on Headbanger's Ball.

How can you say they are wrong about "everything"? I built a retro game clone once and I used that project as a way to try out AI. While it wasn't perfect, it definitely wasn't wrong about everything. I'd go so far

Ok, fair. Hard to understand why it would get that wrong.

Organic search dying was my first reaction too. But, who knows...this wouldn't be the first time I've heard that.

In watching the demo, I didn't come away with the impression that they were removing search results. Yes, they are pushing AI hard, but users can still opt to use Google in the more traditional way. Unless I misunderstood the demo, it&

It seems to me one needs to consider the complexity of the question they are asking before searching it. To stick with your post, consider people asking medical or financial questions. For a wide variety of reasons, many of such questions d

How can you say Google search is "totally irrelevant" and follow that with "I'm aware that most people still use it"?

by RyanOD 4mo ago
I hear people cite other search engines as "better" all the time. Better how?

I had the best of both worlds. Apple ][ at school...Commodore 64 at home. In some ways, it was a great time to be a kid.

Fair point. I meant, "most people I know working in America".

Not bleak for most people. I've never worked anywhere that offers an earned chunk of time off like that (besides standard PTO days).

Students should "try harder" in high school because the point of school isn't to "get into college". The point is to learn how to learn and become better at problem solving. It is my opinion that being a good proble

My first year of teaching high school mathematics was nearly a disaster. Managing my classroom was a nightmare. Fortunately, we had winter break which gave me an opportunity to step back and reflect honestly on why and I realized I was maki

That's right. Real learning is difficult - even for activities we enjoy.
