So a game company removes one of their own games, and replaces it with a different version with a different name?

If the company decided to do that independently, does that matter? Maybe they could be capitalizing on nationalism?

If the government made them alter it, how would that be different than say Left 4 Dead having different censorship in Germany

I thought that was clear when messenger tried began to tie in other apps like uber / lyft and whatever they use for collecting payments.

I am hunting here to find referral bonuses :)

Very exciting, for anyone who didn't know today is china's space day!

Even if it takes 10 years of valve time, its still exciting to hear something like that happening in my lifetime. I'll be able to hopefully witness the first human born off of earth :)

Microsoft is in a really awkward position with this now, curious how it will play out

yeah bad phrasing on my end, knowing the max speed you could interact with a common obstacle (say a highway barrier) could lead to targeting harding to prevent fatalities, as opposed to general harding for all speeds.

Cars could still drive into lakes or off cliffs, but knowing the max speed a car could rear end another car may lead to minor enhancements that could save lives

Pretty cool, by establishing a top speed standard they could run reliable crash tests for the absolute worst case that the car could experience. Looking forward to the future of "No matter how you drive this car, it won't kill you"

This doesn't stop private corporations from attempting. The Hyper loop and whatever they are calling the subway system that they are developing are "developing" still.

New York is adding a pretty massive LIRR line, so it seems like things are going ok

No worries :) I didn't list weekends as they are not apart of my schedule. As much as I find routines to be beneficial to me, I am not a robot and enjoy my social times and lettings things happen as they go. Also the majority of my "free hour" during the weekdays is often goofing off with my friends online. It is also worth noting that my wife is my best friend as well

I'm in New York, if you ever in my neck of the woods send me a message, I'll buy you a beer

Plenty actually, but time is lacking. I wouldn't mind being your friend and talking about if you'd like

I have a gym in my apartment, so typically a 45min workout and a 15 min shower

We go to the gym together and spend a lot of time in hour 4 together. The first hour is just exclusively for us. Often she will visit me while I am coding and I (typically) don't mind :)

Per weekend day, I normally find four~five hours of development time and the rest I typically spend with her.

It's also worth noting that this schedule isn't law, there are days were I don't develop or go to the gym to hang out with my wife more

I disagree and actively disprove of this. I have four hours at home.

Hour1: Eating / TV / Hanging out with wife

Hour2: Development, studying, cultivating

Hour3: Gym

Hour4: Relax, mental health, maybe some more development

While I agree that my progress is significantly larger on the weekends, the five hours from the weekdays gives me a good amount. Keep in mind too, this is about side projects, creative ideas. Not about "starting a business" or some startup venture

As with everything, your milage may vary with these suggestions. I am not the writer, but am just a man with a side project, which is getting more and more of my time.

Change “I can’t” to “I don’t.” -- This section bugged me. At first, I thought it was great. Looking back, this is great advise for a smaller project, or someone just starting. However as your project gets bigger and larger you need to have time for mental health. By saying "I don't do anything Tuesday evenings" can isolate your friends or family. Sometimes after a hard day of work you just want to play a game or two with your friends, but it can be hard to make that push knowing you're actively "sabotaging" your progression. Having a routine is nice, and I find it the only way to progress myself, but sometimes it feels good for your friends and family to "bug" you. I personally believe breaking a routine for your mental health will be beneficial in the long run.

I do love the words about finding creative peak hours, building slowly and in general good habits. For what it is worth, I am using a "circle development cycle". You can imagine it as a circle progress wheel, making initial progress on several things and going back to improve them several times. The initial pass may be an uncolored landscape, where by the fourth pass there are natural mountains, cities and ect... This way I am cultivating new creative ideals while progressing on things as a whole. My "done" state will arrive sooner, but by delaying the "perfect" state's date.

Anyways, this is a great article and just wanted to share my smaller findings while I apply what the author suggested to myself

6 years ago I was 20 years old in college. I got so excited a new a mmo to play in space and drank the kool-aid. Dropped $150, played with my super cool ship in my hanger at 15~fps having a good time looking at all the details on my aegis gladius, watching the stairs come out of the ship and so on.

Eventually I could fly it, and it was cool but of course it was alpha and there was nothing to do except drink more kool-aid. More ships, more promises, more stars, more space.

Now, my same ship can land on planets, I can walk around and it's great. Honestly it's pretty cool. The only issue is now I am 26, married, spend 75% of my awake time working or with my wife. I don't want an mmo.

I am no longer the target demographic, and the majority of the early adaptors are not either.

"Are they a Business or a Research Lab?"

Is there something wrong with being a Research lab that has $100B backed in funding?

Yikes. I don't know what is worse, the fact that this file indexes _Everything_ if you have a touch tablet or this buzzword clickbait title

Reminds me of when I got rainmeter and _needed_ to display everything at all times in fancy circle graphs

Yes, you have to opt-in to this type of security

No worries, I knew this isn't the place for it but I couldn't resist. Thanks for your honesty!

Looks like they found a way to measure my mix tape

I take before bed as well, it helps calm those crazy before-bedtime thoughts and just lets me dooze off

We combined our credsticks into our mobile devices

china net is a really interesting place
