  • The game is called Subpixel Snake and can technically played if you put all of your settings to maximum zoom and hold a magnifying glass up to your screen, but even then you would have a tough time of actually building a long snake or seeing anything that’s going on. You can check it out in action and learn more about subpixels in Patrick’s Video below, and you can also have a go at the game on his website. I’ve tried making this work on my Mac and I can’t get anywhere near close enough to see what’s going on, but if you do have a microscope handy or can put your Mac on the other end of the Hubble telescope, then you might stand a chance!







  • This is especially rich coming from a guy who lives in an area famously known as Billionaire’s Row where monthly rent would likely be north of $10,000. He’s also the founder of Buttonwood Development and Town Residential, two real estate companies that are worth quite a bit of money. Even if he paid $18 to visit his kids every single day, that’s only $6,500 or so per year. He probably spends more than that on a bottle of wine at dinner. The man just doesn’t want to walk even though we know walking is good for longevity, and the ultra-wealthy are obsessed with longevity.

  • One of my colleagues almost got hit recently, apparently he was crossing a pedestrian crossing, a woman was speeding up. He just had time to jump to the side! The woman was accompanied by a young woman (probably the one who alerted the driver) , they stopped and asked him “are you okay?!” after the driver told him she was sorry, that she hadn’t seen him -_-…

    He told me that he had the reflex to jump, what would have happened with a child?

    The interesting side of this story is that my colleague owns an (fucking) SUV…









  • It’s a daunting battle to fight, and it’s disheartening to see that even when we try to discuss these issues, many people are quick to dismiss our concerns.

    You said it all.

    Whether we like Richard Stallman or not, we cannot deny that it started (in part) with the “I don’t care” and the denigration of free software.

    Education systems around the world have failed to promote free software as an IT basis and vigilance against proprietary software lobbies.

    My opinion is that after being conditioned by their environment most people have already given up on their privacy, so mass surveillance does not bother them that much…

    That’s standard procedure.

    Thanks to let me know that !

    The same process would’ve been done after a murder with a gun.

    The connection with the murder by firearm was not made on the process but on the greater ease in general for the defense to defend a murderer who committed murder with a car during a trial. And the ease with which one can premeditatedly kill with a car and make it look like an accident.

    On an unrelated note, I did downvote the whole article because you tacked your opinion onto it.

    No problem, downvote anything you want !
