Dragon’s Dogma looks pretty interesting from this review, and even more so after I went to check out some videos. Absolutely giving this one a try.
I don’t know how to take this, or how to gauge if I even care or not.
I think I care. I don’t use Google+ much, but I almost wish I did. I think I wish it was something else, something I would want to use more. I wish it was less predictable and more… I don’t know. “More different?”
What I wish is that Google+ was for social interaction on the web, what Google search is for the content of the web.
Whatever that means.
It is pretty cool to see a sustained plot emerging out of Ooglaf lately. I don’t expect it to continue perpetually, but it is a nice change up from the typical one-shot.
While I disagree with religion itself, I still enjoy agreeing with a religious person now and then.
I almost fell out of my chair eating breakfast and reading this morning’s XKCD. By far my geekiest laughter ever.
Even our favorites can be ugly.
Breakfast is Homemade Maple Pecan Oatmeal, coffee, and learning how to use daft punk to demonstrate vim tips.
Just because you used to love the endless string of platformers for a long-dead game system doesn’t mean that recreating them for the iPhone is a worthy endeavor. Just because you get a warm and fuzzy feeling when recalling thirty year-old UNIX command-line programs is different than putting them on a pedestal as model for how to design tools. That doesn’t mean you shouldn’t learn from the past and avoid repeating expensive mistakes. Just don’t get trapped by thinking that older software or technologies are superior because they happened to be entangled with more carefree periods in your life.
The future is much more interesting.
” —The Nostalgia TrapAdam Savage is a fantastic guy and I’m so glad he is standing in front of the eyes of millions of children building and destroying and failing and learning.
Bad news for open source projects who benefit from easier access to Windows compilers for maintaining good support for their Windows users. I wonder if and how this decision will affect the future development of Python, for example?
At first I was like, “What’s the point?”
Then I was like, “Oh, I get it.”
Now I’m all like, “Now I know how to use it.”
Going to give this a shot starting this weekend. Love the design.
from collections import defaultdict def tree():
return defaultdict(tree) lupin = tree()
lupin["express"][3] = "stand and deliver"
I can’t believe I read an entire page about paperclips
You will be judged (or you will be ignored)
Those are pretty much the only two choices.
Being judged is uncomfortable. Snap judgments, prejudices, misinformation… all of these, combined with not enough time (how could there be) to truly know you, means that you will inevitably be misjudged, underestimated (or overestimated) and unfairly rejected.
The alternative, of course, is much safer. To be ignored.
Up to you.
I wish I understood this stuff more, so I could properly calibrate my excitement for memristors.
