Printing seems safest. I wouldn't want to gamble on a pi not corrupting the boot SD card or something of the like.

Long since dead but I put a lot of time into a browser-based (2D) MMO called Nowhere Else and Beyond back in the day. You could build islands and they'd be placed somewhere in the world for people to sail to, you could create quests se

He's not a well-poisoner, someone just decided to chug from a bottle clearly marked "do not drink". If someone spends the time to integrate mystery code without taking the time to check the license allows it then frankly they

Because it's great for analytics. The formula of "face in thumbnail, big text, bold colours" works and YouTube WANT you to be clickbaited so that you watch the ads.

RSS is essentially dead, sadly. Can't push ads or gather analytics through it so it's been "optimised out" of the web. Even those rare sites that DO support RSS quite often only show the first paragraph or even just the

I'm not sure when "hacker" became a synonym for "ruthless capitalist" but it's sad to see, honestly.

You can. Twitter has a fairly robust word muting system in your account settings.

Why would you? I see it as more like a news site with a comments section. I don't consider those to be social media either.

He's also playing Broken Reality, a silly game parodying the internet. It's pretty good.

It's not an intentional one though, it's just what the tools happen to run on. Sony aren't going to come after you if you run their SDK in a VM or something. Apple intentionally restrict developers to only use Apple hardware

But it's not true. There's absolutely no restriction on game development machines except that the provided tools (probably) only run on Windows.

This is slightly absurd. It's reporting a very minor bug, not offering to implement a whole feature. Are you saying that no-one should report anything because it encourages them to let bugs slide into production?

This is such an "old man yells at cloud" attitude. The alternative is, what? Striking up conversation with fellow passengers who definitely don't want to talk to me? Staring mindlessly out the window? Consuming useless conten

Huh? How is this a solution? If your password gets leaked I can just: recognise that it's base64, decode it, see your salt and then all of your other passwords are essentially open to me? Edit: Oh, is the salt different for each site?

Have you tried scrolling up to look at conversation history? It spends an age loading the messages, even those from just a few minutes ago.

Scroll snapping only seems to work on webkit. It doesn't work for me on Firefox desktop either, but Firefox Focus uses webkit by default afaik.

This spooks me a little. Common sense says you should never, ever run "curl something | sh" (or equivilant), especially not with elevated privileges.

Z-Machines aren't compilers, they're virtual machines that can execute the compiled output. There's no (known) compiler that still exists that can compile ZIL into Z-code. edit: except for zilf, as mentioned, but it's no

I don't understand the problem at all. You say that the quality of their work is good so why does it matter if you learn things in differently?

Yes, but it's a lot less painful to git rebase and skip that one commit (assuming there's nothing else in that commit you might need) or git-filter-branch like he said. All of these require you to fix everyone's local copy th
