A laptop's touchpad isn't a handheld controller. Using your thumb would feel awkward.

Me and my twin brother did stuff like this when we were kids! We thought of it as playing "video games" on paper.

He mentions that in the video. The way Lisps are structured make it simpler for voice recognition.

Don't listen to your parents. Get a job; the sooner you learn the value of a dollar, the better. Talk to girls. Go to paulgraham.com.

It's like what he's writing seems so obvious, and the essay puts this seemingly obvious information out there for everyone to know.

I've done one Android app for a college project using Eclipse a couple years ago. I've been wanting to get back into developing for the platform. Anyone have an opinion on a novice Android developer trying out an early access preview for this IDE?

The layout is nice and simple. My biggest complaints:
- can't add to playlists
- can't subscribe
- can't browse through a channel's playlists

That's the spirit! A lot of people seem to be interpreting this as a one day thing. The campaign is using this day to start a revolution in changing the way we consume in the current economy. At least that's the goal. Less mass over-consumption and more stimulation of the local economy.

You're right, but I think the main point of the campaign is to show that the way the world economy is growing is harmful to our planet.

No capitalism and go environment is definitely the overarching theme in this campaign. And I do believe that the prevailing capitalism is damaging to our earth. But they also make a point in advocating the support of local business to stimulate the local economy.

Just a heads up for people who haven't played Braid (or you have played it but still want to dig deeper into the game's meaning), don't read Page 2 of the article. The author gives away too much! I've played the game and know that it's just his interpretation, but I still wish I haven't read it...

If the JVM persists into the future, I see Clojure as a strong candidate.
