You could maybe tie Nabakov's humor to Gogol or Bulgakov, but he doesn't tell complex stories like Tolstoy or the longer Dostoevsky books. Maybe Pale Fire is like Notes from the Underground or Crime & Punishment in a…
I can't imagine trying to manage this on an e-reader. If the notes popped up in a window over the text it would be an ideal way to experience the book, but every epub reader I've ever used makes jumping around a pain…
Pale Fire is, without a doubt, my favorite thing Nabakov ever wrote. I've been through it at least 5 times but I don't feel as if I've ever fully read it cover-to-cover like other novels. It's just a rough draft of an…
"The ex-grad student had poisoned the compiler to poison itself when it was recompiled" I had something similar to this story happen to a PHP site on shared hosting in the early 2000s that at the time seemed like some…
That one has real meaning too. Being naturally inclined to mentally run through all the worst case scenarios for everything has definitely saved me time over the years.
I don't know why, but I really like soapstone teaspoons.
For people looking for how far back prior art goes, Looking Glass developed an ECS for the Dark Engine on the Thief games (& Irrational used for System Shock 2) in the late 90s. The version Unity's been building with…
How did I read that sentence and 1) not question whether this was a real organization and 2) not catch that reference? Big thanks for pointing this out.
This has to be a joke. If not, the writer seems to be confused by the difference between additive & subtractive color systems. I admit to not really having any idea what they are getting at in their proposed replacement…
Fiber has been one of the top factors in my own weight control. I've been vegan since the mid 90s, but was slowly adding extra pounds each year. I decided to go on an "if it doesn't have fiber, don't eat it" diet a few…
I switched from PERL & ColdFusion to PHP back in 2000 and stuck through every version up to 7 for web app development. I've built apps in both Python and C# (mostly game projects) but never got comfortable with either…
Not only is this an excellent project, I think this is also an incredible collection of books you've chosen to feature. I also really appreciate the art choices that have been made for the covers. I have many of these…
While you're right that good breads can be made with both types of yeast, there are definitely flavors you wouldn't be able to achieve with instant yeast because a live starter is often a much more complex mix of…
I was never a huge Diablo fan, but I could always appreciate the things people liked about it. I gained new respect for it from watching Brevik's GDC postmortem [0] from a couple of years ago. I love the idea that it…
Of course there have to be criteria for any course of study that leaves out plenty of artists that have to be considered not significant enough to cover. If you were designing a course in either chronological order or…
Wouldn't this limit your study to only musicians that influenced current trends? I've definitely discovered a lot of music from digging into the influences of groups I like, but this seems like a kind of survivorship…
I literally cried the first time I saw this.
