Also di.fm will play artist's shows (aka podcasts) at certain times on certain channels. It should be under the calendar tab. I have never subscribed to a streaming music service a…

I think Apple bought it and renamed it to Quartz Composer. I remember you could use it to make screen savers and could even write your own patches for it in Xcode.

I remember GameMaker from the 80s on the Apple ][e! Also had Adventure Construction Set by EA (before they went all sports-crazy): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adventure_Construct…

That's not to say they couldn't revert to their embrace, extend, and extinguish tactics of the 90s, even under future leadership. I feel that no big corporation should own GitHub, …

Couldn't sit through the whole thing. I just don't buy Mark Wahlberg as Max Payne. He's a little too clean-shaven in that movie. Was he at least using pain killers to fight past hi…

I don't want that story to be ruined by directors/producers/writers taking creative liberties. Some things just shouldn't be live-action movies. Look at all the anime movie failure…

Not just video game movies, but also movies based on books about video games. Having read Ready Player One and then seeing the movie, it's like they didn't even try to capture what…

Would love to see this for notable programmers. Don't know if the data is available for their wake-up times. Would also love to see how many of these writers/programmers took naps …

No. What makes it so enjoyable is that it doesn't happen every day. That makes it a special occasion. It means that when you meet your co-workers in person, the quality of the inte…

I came up with the same idea a while ago, except I would fit dinner in either after work/before bed or after waking up/before the day job. I never got to try it out though, because…

Yes. The Tower of Terror. The bad luck eye of the little yellow god. The custard mite episode. That show was always funny. My first real taste of British humor.

What, no love for Goof Troop, or Histeria? No, that was when you could tell they were out of ideas. But seriously, does anyone remember Freakazoid? I only saw a few episodes, but I…

Loved Dexter's Laboratory. I missed most of Samurai Jack, but what I did see was good. Adult Swim is currently showing Sym-Bionic Titan on Saturdays at 2am (so that would technical…

I was a Duck Tales junkie but my love of good cartoons goes before that. I was raised on Looney Tunes and Tom & Jerry, before they were censored and rehashed multiple times. I reme…

Great job! Can you speak (or maybe a blog post would be better) about how you put this together? What did you have to do get/massage the data? What tech did you use, etc? It's nice…

Hollywood, please don't ever try to make live-action remakes of anime. Why can't they just show the anime itself? It was already good. I highly recommend watching Death Note in its…

What if I was on GitHub, looking at the kind of software the boss doesn't see the importance in using/writing? Sometimes, "goofing off" is actually your employee preparing for a fu…

Wouldn't u.getA() and u.getB() still be evaluated first so that their values can be passed to the debug method? Without the if statement, how is the debug method not being called?
