If you want to interact, the way you do that is to own your own blog where you post your “reply” and use a trackback[0] url. Then the conversation is even freer and you’re in control of your content. Don’t forget to create your own RSS feed for others.

Any current Lisp projects you’d like to share?

This offers an interesting variation of the old timey classic asteroids game where instead of splitting apart and pieces flying in directions appointed by Newtonian physics and the conservation of momentum, the pieces of the hit asteroid try to reassemble according to some model of gravitation or attraction.

Another good option according to published Backblaze data[0] is HGST.

I also have been impressed by Live Share with Visual Studio on Windows. Multiple independent (and labeled) cursors is great.

Wanting to get back to emacs, I setup a guest account (on linux) for trusted users and share an emacs editor through a shared tmux session. Only one cursor, but it makes it easier to follow along.

Unlike extensions on Macintosh that showed up on the start up screen as they loaded!

I also have a moon lander and use Emacs. Thank you for the ideas!

When refactoring, unit tests confirm that you did it right (or wrong).

Which JRPGs?

Or in the beginning she’s playing dumb in condescension to the man. The man is trying to prove a point he doesn’t believe. He’s treating her as if she is dumb and doesn’t know the answer, but she does know, and in the end proves she knows it by providing a more complete answer than even the man himself. (You have to assume she knows about the question as the man is telling her the answer.)

I have my klutz juggling bags sitting on my desk right now. Got them back out when we started working from home. I use them as a classic “fidget spinner“

It’s about time MS open sourced QuickBasic or at the very least released it as abandonware.

My university math class experience was the same as yours. No calculators allowed, and we learned to not need them.

But as has been said repeatedly, these calculators put Computer Science and BASIC terminals in the pockets of grade school and high school children and encourage learning in areas other than math.

Gallery view would be nice

I agree with you, and am having a hard time talking myself into a new console purchase. I have a gaming PC, which is what these consoles have become with the added insult of paying subscription fees for online play.

Anything specific about the 3rd ed of “Peopleware” as opposed to the 2nd? Thanks

I first played Another World (Out of this World) on the SNES. Even on SNES the game stood apart from the competition. Since then I’ve played it on many other platforms including PC and PS Vita. It never gets old.

How about giving them an old game boy or DS with a selection of games from your local used game store or ebay?

Yes, and interestingly enough, this advice can be found in The Internship (aka The Google Movie) [0] towards the end with the pizza parlor.

There’s also the option of running a pair of 970s in SLI. That was my solution a couple years ago when it beat the 980Ti in both performance and price.

Microsoft, please release QuickBasic to the world

You’ve never watched the Angry Videogame Nerd[0], have you?

“Insanely great”

I came to read the comments because I was sure the page rendering on iOS would be just as big a topic as the topic itself. If not bigger.

My experience with Ubuntu (xubuntu 16.04.x) is that you really need a modern Nvidia card to get high/native resolution. Especially for someone who wants to run 3 monitors.

Compare to the Dice-O-Matic [0] just recently featured here.
