He's incredible. All of their athletes are. I don't know if mere mortals understand just how good the best in the world are at their sport. It's always inspiring to see creativity in unexpected places.

Yeah, no room for extraneous worries when you are trying to navigate constantly shifting landscapes of obstacles and advantages. Another one because why not. https://youtu.be/K_7k3fnxPq0

Some of their downhill mountain biking races through narrow village streets are amazing. Honestly, all of their mountain biking videos are incredible. One of my favorites: https://youtu.be/mFuSjk7jv_M

Does anyone know of a reliable vim keybinding extension (a la Vimperator) for Quantum? I have tried VimVixen and QuantumVim with little success.

In San Diego I have seen a lampworking course Groupon (admittedly this was a while back) at some place in North County for...I want to say around $100?

You'd do well to _curry_ favor with him. Wokka wokka wokka!

Thank you for posting this! I've wanted to dabble in it for a long time but never buy the Groupon. Maybe next time it comes around.

In other words, we have to go to war with the army we have, not the army we'd like to have. Sometimes waiting for just the right fit isn't an option, either because of the need to keep adding heads for growth, and sometimes you ha

True. I think it's easier said than done to find the cream of the crop with a limited talent pool for many specialized areas.

I get where you are coming from. For me, being a long-term employee having gone through a few transitions from smallish to biggish, and when your storage guy you hired doesn't really know networking basics, or the database administrato

True, but even if they had just called it Parrot or Lerp or Rakudo or really anything but Perl 6, I feel like they could have attracted the kind of new userbase to augment an already thriving community. I didn't follow along with all 5

I think "pawing" is a fine description of the action. I also like "slushing". :) I make Lego (murals?, mandalas?, dioramas?) art and I am sure when I lived in my studio apartment my slushing around in my mess of parts w

I'm not sure at this point. I used to write quite a bit of Perl 5 and didn't really understand why Perl 6 seemed like it was trying to be everything to everyone and I didn't see what problem domain it was really the obvious c

I still think that if they had just called it something other than Perl, they may have picked up a little more traction.

Funny you say that. This makes me think of gift cards in the sense that I suspect they will have thousands of tiny balances that are never redeemed. Usually you lose any balance after X years.

And who gets to hold that money in an interest bearing account until the recipient registers? What if they never register?

I got a hardcover of this book when I bought a used C64 off eBay. I was hoping to see it mentioned!

GuideDEW has entered the room. Anyone have a list of the old q codes?

Super nostaglic here as well. My first experience with programming was writing a mass mailer in WhaleScript. Taking the free trial CDs from the magazine racks and then using a cardgen to defeat Mod10 verification. $70 phone bills that my pa

I am not arguing against the molecule, just liquor.

by dsnuh 9y ago
I feel like it is a lot more nuanced than "taste a drop and you can't control yourself", and that's not the argument I am making anyway. Like most things, it's a spectrum. Some people are exactly as you described. I

Yeah, I could have worded that better.

Why are you being such a dick? Looking through your comment history and it seems like a pattern.

OT: @StavrosK did you use to frequent metafilter?

You really aren't adding anything to this discussion.

Why are you so adamant to argue with me? I'm not projecting. I am talking about my thoughts on a subject I am experienced with.

If you have a specific suggestion for an edit, let me know. I already posted many times that I was emotionally responding and I should have come at it differently. I don't want the way I presented myself to discount my opinion.
