In other news today, Winnie-the-Pooh is getting a new remake scheduled to come out next year, produced by Christopher Nolan. It's a new take on the beloved childhood story and by the looks of the trailer, it looks promising. Very dark, very gritty.. and quite tragic in many ways, seeing Pooh slowly...
Is Keen going to ever contemplate the millions of vorticon deaths that bloodied his hands? I think this storyline has a lot of promise, being both dark and canon. It's also plausible that he couldn't simply revive Vorticons who had died prior to backup tech being researched. And if he ever finds ou...
But given the existence of worlds beyond his own, that should be less of a factor. One approach is to shut that right down. There is no more space travel; it is now either too dangerous, or downright impossible. Maybe the Vorticons and Shikadi encountered Eldritch Horrors, from which the only hope ...
Assuming you're being serious... Consider that, in episode 3, Mortimer is actually trying to get his life extended. Why would he be trying to do that, unless his continued existence were valuable? And if it is indeed valuable, why wasn't he addressing the aging issue from the start? It's not as if h...
F# seems like an interesting language, and I'd be cautiously interested, conditional on the platform being made FOSS and cross-platform. Having a JVM competitor would also be nice.
As far as programming goes, I adopt a functional style where possible. John Carmack has given his two cents on the topic. This means that, in practice, I tend to use: Pure functions where possible - if a function only returns a value, and has no side effects or funny I/O business like checking the t...
I think Xubuntu was trying an awful Unity style interface the last time I tried it and it was going to be a total hack to set it up the way I wanted while Mint has things basically right out of the box. That's weird, but on my setups, I've found it sufficient just to copy over ~/.config/xfce4 (pref...
Asino's Uphail was my onetime favorite, made me laugh every few minutes back when I first played. Spent many hours until I could reliably beat the asteroid level. rkp2 was decent enough. I should probably replay it for some memories and try rkp3. I remember one of the authors asked for their game to...
MATE was actually my first choice for migrating from Unity/Gnome 3. (I loved my Ubuntu 10.04 Gnome 2 look and feel, and wanted to keep it as far as possible. This was before Gnome Classic, so the closest thing was MATE.) But something or another was broken, and I moved on to Xfce, found that I could...
Aye, pretty much. Though I would seek refuge in Mint rather than Ubuntu. What's the difference? (Honest question) I'm using a customized xfce and xmonad, ran fixubuntu.com, so I'm not aware of any difference at this point aside from ubuntu being more upstream. I actually gave up on using the touchs...
If I recall correctly, that wiki page was one of the first places I checked. Packman (and the others) didn't seem to have the ones I was looking for either. Anyway, I just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something obvious, or that my impression hadn't been unfairly skewed. I did enjoy the openS...
