I eat paleo as best as I can, but the reasoning for it less about "paleo" and more about thinking about what I'm putting in my body. If you put a package of Twinkies (or comparable snack still being made) on my desk at 9 AM, they'd be gone before lunch. I generally don't like thinking about food; I just want to eat and go on with life. Paleo tends to make those decisions easy for me.

> You want to know what the ideal human diet consists of? Everything. Humans can and will eat everything, and we are remarkably successful not in spite of this fact, but because of it. Our adaptability is the hallmark of the human species. We’re not called omnivores for nothing.

I agree with that, to an extent. Above mentioned Twinkies (I'm actually partial to Raspberry Zingers) tend to make me feel sick. :)

I can't believe there's not a pledge level like this:

"If you pledge $5, we'll send you a GI Joe to put inside your B"

Kickstart all the functioning GI Joe vehicles of my childhood.

There's a saying. Anything which was said before a but doesn't really count. I think this guy has a point.

I don't think in that context it represents an apology or even empathy. It means "allow me to politely tell you that you are full of shit!"

Kinda like saying "have a nice day" to somebody who was just rude to you.

I read the headline and thought that HR was literally watching Twitter while the internel jumbles were going on, and any employees tweeting about it were being fired. I thought "how innovative and terrible of HR." Turns out, the headline was just a bit weird.

I thought the same. Should probably read "AOL Is Shutting Down AOL Music And Spinner; Staff Live-Tweet the Whole Thing"

The fact that they didn't write it that way makes it seem like a deliberately misleading headline.

I suspect they just omitted a comma; it should have been "AOL Is Shutting Down AOL Music And Firing Staff, Who Are Live-Tweeting The Bloodbath".

Yeah, that was my question as well. I've often thought about plugins that I would want to write for Xcode, but there seems to be no documentation.

I spent two years as an LDS missionary in the Caribbean islands. Influence by slavery and indentured servitude, the most common races down there were African and Indian descent. White people were a rarity (so much so that it was common to hear people a block away yell out "White boy!" many times a day). Despite this, more than a few people would say things like "You're white. Things are easy for you." I thought this was crazy, since I was definitely a minority in the area, but now that I'm older, I see what they meant.

IGDA asks for opinions, and that's great, but it's demonstrative of how hard social change can be when it's a democracy: You wait for the majority of voting members to speak up about it before you really see it as a problem to address. Social change should probably be proactive, but that's a hard problem to solve.

If you're not familiar with her, Brenda wrote a book called "Sex in Games." She worked on a game about the Playboy Mansion. She's no prude, and she's very anti-censorship.

Combine that with the actions in the article, and I think there's a very compelling discussion that can take place about the difference between sex and sexism.

Android gained popularity because it was tied to Calendar and Gmail. These two services were pretty pervasive already, and so became the default in Android. When that happened, those two services became crucial to Android.

The fear that Contacts and Calendar will go away like Reader did (or, rather, will) is irrational. Reader barely had a mobile client version of it. With Google reigning in the branding on Android and requiring that it be tied even tighter to Google services, Gmail and Calendar became a dependency of Google's mobile OS.

Huh? Since when do you always use 'ls' after 'cd' - I can think of many times that I don't need to do this, and it would annoy me if every time I called 'cd' it then printed out the directory listing as well.

The popular Unix mantra is "do one thing and do it well" - both these commands, while definitely connected, are each "one thing" and they both perform them very well.

The philosophy of Unix convinced me at my first glance. But then found there might be some problem in this case.

Just an example. People may say something offer three features, one plus one and plus one, just like Unix does. But if we are going to explain 99, it is faster to say 100 minus 1 rather than 90 plus 9.

`cd $1 && ls` is a larger command. It's also an easier one.
