Right because we all chose this.

I fully understand the intent, but it doesn't come across that way. Assume that I will learn it, and I will assume you aren't judging me.

If I'm not busy, it is cool. Very cool. But if I have to spend hours reading and experimenting just to get to the next phase of some task, not so much. When I'm working, I like to accomplish things and learning can be a speed bump. I love learning new things during learning times. This also helps the learning process as I'm not facing stressful deadlines.

Stated as is, it also sounds like you are offering me the privilege to get to learn something you already know. I get to join your club. I've even heard people claim responsibility for another's knowledge because they were the first person to mention the topic. Same for TV shows, music, and movies.

>oh cool, today is the day you get to learn about X.

I still don't like this. There is no need to comment on my knowledge. If I say I don't know something, there is no need to repeat it back to me in any form. Offer resources, assistance, or guidance. If I found something I need to learn, assume that I will now be scrambling to learn it.

Edit: Awesome, downvoted for helping.

I kind of in the same boat. Wrote html, vb4, and made a few flash apps when I was about 10 but didn't get serious and really study until the past 5 years or so. So I picked 15-20, but I also picked 3-5.

Still trust that bell curve?

Oculus has had several competitors coming to prototype recently. Now they have lost their following. I personally think facebook just bought a dud. Oculus just dug their own grave.

Additionally, this is a gaming device. Having utopian visions for a device that hasn't even hit the market for its intended use is not a good PR strategy.

Isn't your post slightly hypocritical? And isn't talking about it better than just ignoring it anyway? You did decide to say something after all.

I don't mean to insult anyone. I fully understand why people are doing it. But I don't understand how these get repeatedly voted to the top. Can't we start a megathread or something for these?

What hackernews has become:

I remade this simple game!

I was getting really fed up with the flappy bird stuff and was happy to see it go. Now this? Don't get me wrong, love the game, but god damn can we say beating a dead horse?

That isn't how 2048 works.

I personally like the hard coded values and the extremely long line lengths.

Sure, I had to sacrifice some of that "in the moment" happiness while getting myself to a manageable state, but I don't regret a single moment of it.

It's such a cop out to say that you're living in the moment. Few people, I'd even venture to say that no one looks back on self improvement with regret. Discipline contributes to happiness. Don't try to demotivate people to justify your own unwillingness to improve yourself.
