Saskatchewan politics don't make a lot of sense to me. I'm not sure how the "let's work together" mentality that gave us the Co-op, the Wheat Pool, and Medicare turned into a "fuck you, I got mine" mental

I'm a Saskatchewan resident. It's easy to grumble about the phone company, but Sasktel does a great job. We're a huge low-density province, but with the crown corp mandates, small towns in Saskatchewan have excellent cell a

I feel like Super Mortal Kombat 2 Turbo was the logical choice. :)

I think it's worth adding: Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo HD Remix is a rebalancing of Super Turbo done by David Sirlin and officially supported by Capcom. David's design notes and commentary are really interesting. https:/&#

That's pretty heartless. People are trying their best to succeed in life. I remember people getting pulled in by DevRy and similar. Places that I thought massively oversold the outcomes people would receive. I don't rate the ed

Fantastic article! Well written and very thorough! Keep it up! I always felt the same way about ACM programming contests. I had to go back days later and figure out what detail I was missing that made my solutions incorrect.
