It was bothering me that you had written GORILLAS.BAS as I remembered it as GORILLA.BAS. I hadn't seen it in 27 years, at least, so I wasn't confident. Anyway today I had a look, and we're both right. The game was called GO

Holy shit, I never heard anyone talk about GORILLA.BAS. It's also the first code I ever read, in 8th grade algebra class w/ Mr. Seaman (serious). I didn't have a computer so I wrote a lot of BASIC in composition books, instea

If you drive the 55mph speed limit on "the bypass" in pretty much any metro area in the united states, you are risking your own life to be going so slow relative to traffic. I'm generally the slowest driver on my commute, jud

Total tangent, but a street a couple of blocks away has been getting resurfaced, and man! Some piece of heavy equipment sounds like a diesel truck idling a few meters away. I can't believe how much the noise transfers. > speed limit

I wonder what the record for "in-flight" data would be, and who would hold it. Seems like earth satellites might have huge pipes, but the data arrives too quickly to build up. Maybe 94GB would do it.

Would you see comments weighted by votes? Is this some kind of emotional response you're having to seeing votes? I don't understand how it would improve the experience.

Find one that takes advantage of the speedup. A great many probably wouldn't.

It's a long-game for me. I don't have any of the qualifications, track record, or anything else that objectively qualifies me for this problem domain. Just unwavering belief in myself and my ability to learn anything. I'm ski

Life is a game. NPCs are busy wasting their time. Don't be an NPC. Work on something that delights you, and improves your value. For me that's coding (again...finally!). If you can't work on whatever is most important, at lea

Thanks! It's a beautiful bike, it'll sell. I haven't worked myself up to listing it, yet. I decided to sell it before this year's riding season...

#1 best thing in a talk is a real-life story. Especially a weird bug or something. Tell us what happened, but don't drag it out too long. Not too much code. Don't show boilerplate, just show any clever or interesting bits. Show us

I totaled my first bike on my 2nd day riding. Source: a left-turning car who didn't see me. (Uninsured, of course) I was fine, thankfully. I'm about to sell my last motorcycle, though. Given current tech, I believe it's time
