i think by "win" he means break the stalemate. the ai in that game sucked and only stayed competitive by cheating. he should have been able to wipe out the opposing civs after 10 years of playing. especially since the op said he was only playing at prince/king difficulty.

i'm glad someone said it. i enjoyed the story but wondered how someone could suck that bad at civ after playing it for 10 years.

I think he is just the background for articles related to that interview. Although I do agree it is a little weird just how many times his face shows just throughout the site.

i'm somewhat surprised stallman is even remotely supportive of android.. i thought he thought that anything non gpl was the devil.

can't you just put those people you share with on reader into a circle on google plus and then just share it with that circle?

And they said they said they are integrating the two better, so I'm assuming its possible for them can make the sharing between the two fairly fluid.

These changes are both awesome. Particularly the one to submodule update. I have a project setup where not everyone has access to all its submodules. Prior to this, people would have to manually run update for each submodule they were allowed to access. Otherwise it would fail part way through on the ones they didn't have access to. Great news!

Sounds like you have a lot of negative influences in your life. You should cut them out asap if that is how they are going to treat you. You made a decision. It didn't work out. You should be commended for having the bravery to try it.

Seriously though, you are only 20. You have your whole life ahead of you. People are right here to say you need to stop sitting around and feeling sorry for yourself. Put that energy into getting a new job. Any job. Just get yourself out of the house. Work your ass off to build up your resume, hack projects on the side, contribute to open source, etc.

Don't commit suicide because that is just stupid and nobody is going to feel sorry for you.

I don't really get the point of this article. Felt like he was just saying that everyone today is a moron. I find this attitude annoying. Get off your high horse. Yeah, there's bad programmers and some people are oblivious. In any profession, there are people that are going to suck at it. There's also people that are simply brilliant and are amazing programmers.

Then to act like the entire software stack is broken is silly to me. Sure there's inefficiencies. In any large complicated system, you can expect there to be room for improvement. And anytime you introduce layers of abstraction, inefficiency is bound to happen. But guess what? Not everybody has time to write code in assembly. The fact of the matter is, the software ecosystem has become so complex that people are forced to specialize in more and more specific subsets of it.

And all this jazz about "Oh boo hoo.. software hasn't solved world hunger and doesn't wipe my ass for me when I use the bathroom". Geez man. Calm down. These problems your talking about like figuring out AI are incredibly hard. Its going to take a long, long time for them to be tackled fully. Software and computers have only been around for the blink of an eye in human existence.

Oh god. This is horrifying. Less is more facebook.. less is more. I agree with the people complaining about facebooks need to curate things for you. Thats what the "hide posts from this person" should be used for. Just give me one stream and let me decide what filters to put on it.

I definetely recommend viper mode. You'll have to install vimpulse also to make it really functional, but once you do that you should feel right at home. Just remember that ctrl-z toggles/untoggles it! So if you ever get into a non viper mode state, control+z should bring you back.

Personally I use it for all the modal editing goodness but I also rely on some emacs features as well such as ctrl-x ctrl-f for opening files, etc.

I agree. If he means developers who only spent time on programming related things during the 9-5 and not during their free time, maybe I can understand. Good developers should be passionate and will probably spend their free time learning and coding (not necessarily work related) but to say the only good developers are ones that are slaves to their job is ridiculous to me.

Yeah, if your talking about eclipse, I'm a bit surprised myself also. The only big thing I can think of that it is lacking is type searching. Maybe quick hints too but thats not that big of a deal. Other than that it gives autocompletion, import management, inlining/extracting functions, etc. Is there something I'm missing?

Yes! I'm glad to see the government is taking a stance against it. Cell phone bills are expensive enough, I could only imagine what this merger would have done to them. I just pray they hold strong. This could be a really good thing for Tmob. Could seriously help level the playing field.

even better, use viper mode in emacs.. you get all the keybindings of vim and you don't have to write vimscript to customize your editor

Either way they are all doing a terrible job. How long have they had webOS? Like a year and a half? How many products have they managed to ship out in that time? Like 2? Guess you can't buy your way out of incompetence.

Spending money on government employees who provide no value is not sustainable. Those employees go spend their money on goods and services produced in other countries (where the workers are actually providing useful services) and you get a net flow of cash out of the U.S.
