Wow. Very nice job. Very intuitive. However, you should move the cube into the center of the screen, since that is the center of the players focus.

Society can be pretty tolerant of eccentricity and a lack of personal hygiene when it's accompanied by genius. Look at Albert Einstein and even Richard Stallman.

Wow what a great interface. Really great clean design and I like the fact that you've used two seperate btc exchanges. I think this tab will be pinned in my browser once I begin my new career as a bitcoin dealer on localbitcoins.com ;)

I agree with the sentiment of your post, but I don't think they "make acquiring and owning games easier" than piracy. In fact it's very easy to pirate gog games because of their anti-DRM stance so if a potential customer doesn't feel like p

Mint never ceases to impress me. Mint 15 runs faster off of a live cd for me than ubuntu 12.04 LTS does natively. I presume this is something to do with unity and all the underlying bloat that is becoming more and more of a defining charact

Could you direct me to some of this research you're citing? it seems really unlikely to me that dual monitors would have any kind of significant impact on productivity. in fact don't they encourage multi-tasking which tends to decrease prod

Brilliant post kas. I'm impressed by your loyalty and cogency. If the two of you ever considered having kids, there'd be a few things you'd do well to prepare for. I am the child of a severe manic-depressive/alcoholic. I can't begin to tell

Oh, don't misunderstand me. Vim is complex alright, and like I say, it has a pretty steep learning curve, but it has just the right amount of complexity for it's purpose (in this case, quite a lot). Hence, an example of good design in my bo

vim, too complex? you could say that about practically any CLI interface but it's merely a relatively steep learning curve, not a case of too much complexity. In fact vim is pretty concise and compact in terms of design

It's a potential point of conflict, but it's a pretty generic naming convention in my view and I'd be dissapointed to see that Zed has slapped a trademark on it. Even if he is building a brand around the name I don't see why he wouldn't be

Keep in mind that art is most properly classified as a subset of communication, so in certain cases a very similar vocabulary will be used regarding them. You say the author is incorrect in implying that artistic expression may inhibit us,

You're glossing over the author's solid point on the nature of design, that over-engineering can stifle creative input. In the example he provides, the users became distracted from the purely photographic form of communication by a text-bas

take a gander at some art history. when photography was first introduced in France in the first half of the 1800s it sparked a longrunning debate concerning the medium's place amongst other art forms, or even whether it should be considered

Your logic doesn't stand up here. Why should you trust dostoyevsky's subjective understanding of god anymore than your own? Besides, dostoyevsky's best asset was his imagination, not his capacity for logic.

I think the post, generally, is accurate, but the author is giving a little too much slack to those who, according to him/her, don't live by default. For example, you could argue that Picasso "lived by default"; his father was a painter, an
