A pixel art book - that sounds very interesting! What's the title?

It's the second time I hear that today. I don't deny it's true, but can't we put some sources on this? I think it is a little childish to just be spreading rumors.

I'm no sure I understand why it was an error of forceful to show his MD5 and SHA1 hashes. Can anyone explain?

This looks AWESOME

I see - then we are in agreement.

I agree with you. But this article states a few reasons, I think are a valid, why a female league is necessary: http://www.chessblog.com/2009/10/abolish-womens-itles-ridicu...

I wans't talking about just PIL - I was talking about Python 2 vs Python 3 in general.

EDIT: And I'm not talking about development only. I'm talking about download small scripts and being able to run them seamlessly as well.

I read the same article as the guy and was also discouraged by using PIL. Python 2 vs Python 3 just makes life hard for people not used to Python. Maybe someone should do something about that.

I just went ahead and implemented the code in C++ instead.

This was a tough read. I find it hard to read through stuff just throwing quotes, graphs and all into a big mess. Seems like the consistency just takes a dive.

Why do we have a bunch of languages/technologies listed as one of the first things on the page with no explanation?

The chance of monster in-fighting is never, or a certainty.

Still seem a little random, though

Indeed. Tipping or no-tipping is really not a black and white issue. Just because they do not receive tips does not mean they don't care. For all you know they could get fired for standing around - like you would be with a regular office job.

you do not get anything near the level of customer service experience you get in the US.

I don't know. I have experienced both. Being a waiter is a proud occupation. People takes a sort of long education to become it and they really seem proud of making the dining experience a good one for their customers. And I guess this is true everywhere - not just when you work under the expectation that you get more tips the better you serve.

I am from Denmark. 10 years ago tipping was only something you saw in movies. Today some places are trying it and they ask upfront "Do you want to leave a tip?". It seems so forced and wrong. It just makes the whole experience end in on weird note.

Needless to say, I dislike tipping and I feel it should be a part of the salary. The servers need to be able to just focus on their jobs.

I just had a course about functional programming and proof theory in Coq. It's super fun and super enlightening. If you are into that kind of thing, you should definitely give it a try!

I am great fan of disallowing smoking inside public places. I can barely stand being near smoke: My throat just shuts down. So this is a great win for me :)

I'm only using Facebook. After creating an account, it seems kind of lackluster.

"We are not naïve, we knew it was coming," Rubin tells Fast Company. "We thought that we would at least get a week notice—a fair game"

He knew it was coming, he knew it was wrong. Why would he need more warning than two hours? Why even a warning?

vi move commands works a lot of places in the UNIX world.

When I was a student programmer, my boss came over to my desk to introduce my new project. He then fired up a terminal, ssh'd into the box where I would find the data. He then presented me the data by doing all kinds of bash magic. I was fairly impressed each time. I used some time just trying to make sense of what he did and how.

It's insanely useful.

But how come it is less similar to itself than other words?

Very exciting stuff. I love how you can take simple building blocks and create something elegant and fun with them.

However, why are there words more similar to "vacation" than "vacation"?

I don't think it is so much a question about why. More that is pretty cool idea.

On the subject of things I'm tired about. That website uses 448 px for the main content. For me that is 448 px of 1905 px. That's not even a quarter of my screen. Why in the world would you do something like this?

What exactly is the difference between this and for example a simple ray tracer? Seems like it takes a lot of the same steps.

This article is a little weird. First we have this guy, who despite his experience "makes" the mistake of saying he can show something on the whiteboard. Why is that a mistake?

And then we have this guy Bob - he coaches people what kind of questions they are asked at a given interview. So he is letting people get jobs which they might not even be suited for.

I hope it is satire, as mentioned somewhere else.

Shut the front door - that's a nice feature!

Looking at this project, what I'm most amazed by is how the author of the presentation on the frontpage only made one typo the entire presentation. I mean, that's amazing :)

The Culture Series is definitely some of my favorite reading. You can really feel the humor.
