»Aber insgesamt sollten mehr Menschen, die ich kenne, Astronauten werden, damit ich mehr Astronauten kenne und diese Beziehungen für meine persönlichen schamlosen Experimente nutzen kann. (Was machen denn bitte Vögel in der Schwerelosigkeit?)«

Astronauten!

A Conversation With Randall Munroe, the Creator of XKCD

Philipp Waldhauer — Wed, 03 Oct 2012 08:46:47 +0200

»My experience of the Internet has been that if you make something really cool, the neatness speaks for itself. And that's much more important than trying to make something marketable -- trying to make something into a product.«

Tough times on the road to Starcraft

Philipp Waldhauer — Sat, 08 Sep 2012 14:10:06 +0200

»So you’ve heard me whine a bit about how difficult it was to make StarCraft, largely through poor choices made at every level of the company about the game’s direction, technology and design. We were fortunate to be a foolhardy but valiant crew, and our perspicacity carried the day. In the end we buckled down and stopped adding features long enough to ship the game, and players never saw the horror show underneath. Perhaps that’s another benefit of compiled languages over scripted ones like JavaScript — end users never see the train wreck!«

Great read, keeping an eye out for the next parts.

»Sight has changed for TN from a conscious to a largely subconscious experience. He no longer has a definitive picture of his surroundings, but he has retained an innate awareness of his position in the world. He is, to some degree, able to see without being aware that he is seeing.«

Very interesting.

»Piracy isn’t some unknowable thing that you can blame on teenagers in China and Russia. Those kids are practitioners of it, sure, but piracy is just a by-product of a broken model. The only relevant problem to fix is the root cause, and (conveniently) that’s the only one you can fix.«
