It's an article more or less about his personal experience with Depression and OCD, on his personal blog, where he mentions several times angsty/sad songs were his escape, especially in his teens. It seems silly to pick apart who he quotes to me.

I'm sure this is really cool, but autoplay music with no visible volume control, not cool.

Glad to see all the positive feedback here. I volunteered as a reader/advisor for this first edition and wanted to take this chance to say the experience was great. Joe is very respectful of volunteers time, even those of us who occasionally fall off the grid for a few days ( I still owe you a pic and bio Joe :) ). I'd encourage anyone on the fence to pick up this edition, there are some absolutely outstanding stories in there. And I'd also encourage anyone thinking about volunteering to jump in, it's a great project/maintainer to work on/with. Here's too many more issues Joe!

Interestingly I've never studied French, nor have I spent any significant amount of time hearing it, and I somehow get 100% on basically every word using my horrible childrens cartoon version of a French accent. Huh.

It's worth noting amidst all the debate about whether it's feasible or worthwhile to offer older versions of the game as server options, blizzard has already done this for a long time with Diablo 2. You could (can still) choose to play classic or expansion on the legit battle net servers, and both had ( possibly still have ) vibrant communities. So it's not like this would be particularly novel as an idea to them, I'm surprised they haven't done it with wow already.

Awesome! Thanks for the link. It looks like they have a limited free forever version as well, gonna have to play with this.

Anyone know what tool he was using in the YouTube video? This stuff is super interesting.

I live in Austin and i walk/Uber everywhere and largely agree with the author, we need better public transit absolutely. I'm wary of this line of thinking however "Our population is largely young and vigorous. ", a significant portion of people who could use better non single passenger car options are certainly not so young and vigorous, and it's worth noting that even those that are now won't be forever ;)

I think bikes are great, more bike options for sure, 10000. However in my opinion they're not a great solution to the transportation problem for most people.

This is amazing, just played Desert Storm: The Air Campaign for a few minutes. The collection of software here is such an important reminder that even seemingly unimportant software has historical context and is worth preserving. The Internet Archive is good people.

I think it's way too early to see anything, and that's what you're probably missing ( no offense intended ). This shift towards supporting research and long term capital intensive companies is very recent as far as I understand, at most a year, parts of it just in months.

There's finding the companies/research projects, getting them staffed and sustainably funded, and then years if not decades of work before some of these real complex and hard problems are solved.

I'm not saying any of it is going to work but we're just looking at the first steps in this direction. It'll be a few years before anyone is able to really judge whether it's paying off or not. Unfortunately this is beyond most of our ( myself included ) attention spans, so we'll probably feel like nothing is happening. Fortunately it seems like these folks are putting mechanisms in place that will outlast our collective attention and keep the engine running for the long time span these problems will need.

I'm pretty excited about it.

I went almost straight into the workforce instead of going to college so I feel like I should be on your side here. However I don't think I would really mind some of my tax dollars going to people thinking about women in society as I rather like women, or managing sports teams, as I also enjoy watching sports. Is this opinion entirely out of vogue now? What the hell else am I getting out of my sizable federal tax bill?
