  1. The solution is Ouya on Is It Time To Enforce a Gamers' Bill of Rights? · · Score: 1

    Indie developers get a chance to make it into the living room and gamers don't have to worry about big AAA developers screwing them.

    I just wonder what the carbon footprint is of Congress. Just imagine how much CO2 you could eliminate by getting them to spew less hot air.

    Nonesense. If driving like an idiot left the NY Times stranded than the simple solution is to not be an idiot. If the problem is the car's fault then it's a different matter entirely. Although even if that were the case it could still be a fixable issue.

    It doesn't matter that you haven't seen uncle Mohammad in 20 years and didn't know he was al-Qaida, you shouldn't have had tea with him after cousin Hussein's funeral.

    That's my general experience with immigrants period. Whether they are from Mexico, India, China, Nigeria, Ethiopia, the West Indies. I may be partial since my parent's immigrated as did most of my college friends, but that's the trend that I see. The most productive Americans are the one's that want to be here so bad that they left everything and everyone they know behind to get here.

    Running gets you screwed. You are supposed to be polite, respectful, and not suspicious. If you talk back to police you are asking for trouble. Once you have a record though you'll have problems until you get it expunged. Being in the wrong place at the wrong time can get you in trouble. You just have to be smarter than the situation. Just be glad you aren't black or Latino.

    I can see it now. The Microsoft police only answer calls from Windows phones and the officers always have the flu.

  19. Re:Actually Measured on Geomapping Racism With Twitter · · Score: 1

    The issue isn't race, it's tribe. People group themselves together and they have been doing this since prehistory as living in a group is always safer than being alone. In America your tribe is determined by "races" such as Asian, White, Black, and Latino. In Iraq the tribes are Sunni, Shiite, and Kurd. In Nigeria it's Ibo, Yuriba, etc. Anywhere you go in the world you will find these kinds of groupings. The thing is, a tribe is not set in stone. You can change the definition of it. Hopefully one day humans will evolve beyond this thinking, but until then I'll be happy just see American's define the tribe by country of birth.

  21. And the article is incredibly wrong on The IDE As a Bad Programming Language Enabler · · Score: 1

    Separating objects into classes and interfaces and forcing each into it's own file helps in the organization of the code. IDE's make that implementation practical. Programmers who don't like that shouldn't use Java, but to cite that as one of Java's flaws is ridiculous. Java has no shortage of flaws, but that is most certainly not one of them.

    IDE's enable a lot of nice things, auto-complete that makes like long descriptive variable/class names a breeze to use. Descriptive variable/class names enhance the readability of code. One thing programmers often forget is that programming is not just about informing a computer about what you want it to do, but also informing programmers reading your code what your want the computer to do. The first part is actually the easy part, it's that second part where most programmers tend to fall flat on their faces. Readable code is a good thing, it reduces human error which is the source of all programming bugs.

    IDE's like anything can be misused, but the idea that everything must be VIM friendly is nonesense.

  23. Re:It's not just DEFCON on Is Sexual Harassment Part of Hacker Culture? · · Score: 1
    Everyone likes to be around positive people. A positive attitude is key to being attractive and while other factors affect your attractiveness the attitude is the starting point.

    To be positive you must be happy, happiness is a choice and it is also a matter of action. People who choose to be happy do the things that they enjoy, they don't worry about how other's percieve the things that they enjoy, and they keep their actions aligned with their true personal beliefs. If you do things that you deep inside feel is wrong, you will not be happy. If you avoid doing the things that you know you will enjoy, you will not be happy. If you worry too much about how other's may criticise you or think critically of you, you will not be happy.

    Once you are a happy and positive person, you will find that people naturally gravitate towards you. This is because you have become more attractive simply by improving your attitude.

    Other things that will improve your attractiveness are personal hygein, good manners, and good health. You can work on the way you dress, and you can earn more money, and by expensive things, but those matters are bit more superficial and can have the opposite effect if you do it with a poor attitude. Arrogance is not attractive.

    Pursuing women must never be an act of desperation or percieved need. Your motivation in pursuing a particular woman (assuming you want an LTR, I know nothing of the PUA life only sociopaths can do that) should be a genuine belief that she would be a compliment to you. This is where it becomes important to understand basic physcology and personality types. Not everyone is the same, and you need to understand how different people respond to things.

    Now I know Myere's Briggs (google it) is fairly simple, but for me it worked. I am an INTJ and my gf is an ENFP. Personally I cannot stand most sensing types, and while I love interoverts I love sensitive extroverts more. Of course dating someone this different from me is a huge challenge, but when I stick out the tough parts I find being with her immensely rewarding.

    If you work on your attractiveness and pursue women you are a complement to your personality you will have success. Just remember to be patient, open minded, and understanding. A relationship requires a mutual respect.

    If you are ever having difficulty the chances are you either failing on the attractivness (remember attitude), or you are pursing the wrong kind of women. Sometimes you will need to expand your horizons to find a compatible woman. Go to new places and let go of superficial hangups that aren't genuinely important to you.

    Also, a note on relationships. All relationships require work, you have to assert yourself while being sensitive, patient, and understanding. It is a difficult balance between what you want, and what she wants. Do not stay in a relationship where that balance has collapsed.
