With games like Destiny, "placeless" MMOs are already starting to become a thing.

This is pretty much how I felt as a long-time TF2 player super excited for Overwatch to come out, and then very sad once I realized what kind of game it was. You grab your friends and play Overwatch, while you play TF2 and meet your friends.

And also a parallel, TF2 obviously still exists, but all of the servers I used to play on are gone now.

Haven’t found anything else quite yet. FFXIV actually was super enjoyable from a community perspective, but I’m not super into MMOs.

What are some cities with decent enough public transportation and urban planning for pedestrians that also don’t suffer from lack of housing/exhorbitant housing prices? The top cities I can think of that satisfy the former unfortunately also have the latter.

When SOPA was going on so-and-so years ago, there was a similar bout of over-exaggerated hysteria to get people in action. I was against it back then, but I think the last couple of years have shown that panic and outrage is what actually gets people motivated to do anything, rather than straight, boring facts. Why not harness it for something good then?

How do you know you and your friends turned out fine?

I don’t mean to be accusatory, but I wonder what scale we’re using when we’re saying that this sort of content is “harmful”. I doubt people are implying that watching these videos will turn kids into psychopaths.

My Pixel actually suffered from that phone issue as well until I wiped it. Good (and disappointing) to learn now that it's not an isolated issue.

Doesn't help that my Pixel was supposed to replace an ever-bootlooping Nexus 5X.

This is ultimately what makes React the right choice for me. A big part of the whole code=data thing is that code can be typed, which means now your data (markup) can be typed as well.

Of course this only really matters if you use Typescript/Flow.

Did it use to support multiple tabs?

The thought is that the cards aren't currently just falling as they will, and instead they're falling in a biased way due to prior decisions (and current ones!) that disadvantages certain people. The over-eagerness towards diversity programs and such therefore is in effort to push things to a neutral state so that the cards can indeed just fall as they will.

As someone looking to get into CLJS, where do I find "native" CLJS libraries in case I wish to avoid using NPM?

I imagine the skeuomorphism being invoked is that secretaries are stereotypically women.

He's talking about OSX (desktop), where Chrome indeed is the Chrome you'd expect.

To be honest, to me it looks a bit noisy, washed out colors, and it must not have been taken in bright lighting because you can see some camera shake. There's also a lot of smudging in the carpet and wall textures, which makes me think that either there originally was a lot of noise before post-processing, or the noise removal software on the phone isn't very good.

I'd generally recommend the Pilot Metropolitan over the X750, I feel as if the Metro is a "surer bet" when it comes to QA, and it's only around five bucks more. Plus the Metro comes in fine and medium nibs so you have a bit more choice there.

Source: I have $100+ pens but I'm using a Metropolitan literally right now.

In the past he's been criticized for making a lot of extremely juvenile and bad taste jokes (the biggest one people complain about is that he often screams that the monsters in horror games are going to "rape" him). I've heard though that he's gotten better about the kind of jokes he makes, and most of the indie game developers I follow on Twitter seem to respect him.

Given that /r/all currently has pretty much zero note of the crapshow from a couple days ago, I would think actually facing it and just bracing for a couple of days pays off a lot more than just ignoring it and letting it build up over time.

Obviously you still have toilet paper, but in my experience some of these toilets also have air jets for drying.

People who sleep 9+ hours a day--is this continuous sleep? I find it really hard to sleep for more than 7 hours without waking up and then forcing myself back to sleep.

I hadn't heard of Genymotion having adware/malware previously. Would you mind linking a source?

Aphex Twin has made some softer songs as well, a popular one being this: https://youtube.com/watch?v=iiZEto2j2GQ

His newest album Syro also has less aggressive tracks, but it seems to not be on YouTube.

Be careful as to not press Ctrl/Cmd+W though!

Yep. Obtaining a dev account isn't terribly difficult (you can get one for free if you use MS's "App Studio" program) and dev unlocking your phone directly follows from that, but it's definitely not a perfect solution.

I think that Twitter might be entwined enough into the OS such that it'd get permissions that other third-party devs wouldn't. I would totally love to be wrong though.

I hope that as developers we're able to take advantage of this conversational style. At the moment, WP apps can hook into the rather limited "Tell Me" system that lets the user open various endpoints of an app via voice commands, and only using pre-defined parameters.

It would be awesome if the user could pass in any arbitrary data via voice commands (devs could make custom scheduler/todo list/note-taking apps that can receive data from Cortana), and even more so if voice commands could launch background tasks instead of just the entire third-party application (you could check into Foursquare without actually opening the Foursquare app and disrupting whatever you're doing).

If the demo on the front page isn't working for you and you have HTTPS Everywhere installed, disabling it temporarily seems to work.
