Great talk about what we know and what we dont know in software engineering
Quoted _joetdc's tweet:Probably the most important talk you’ll ever watch about software engineering, by @hillelogram https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=2183&v=WELBnE33dpY (and blog post here https://www.hillelwayne.com/talks/what-we-know-we-dont-know/)
Missing today’s Inktober because I’m tired. Hopefully can double up tomorrow
Time to do something scary
Today (Oct 12, 2019) is the 80th anniversary of Quezon City
After watching Joker and Scorsese recently commenting on Marvel movies, I thought I’d watch one of his films, so I saw Goodfellas today. It’s not bad.
This makes me glad I didn’t follow my first instinct of upgrading to Catalina immediately https://tyler.io/broken/
We grew up way too fast And now there’s nothing to believe And reruns all become our history
@jmcpatino an additional 1% moves us into the top third of that graph
@jmcpatino this is a specious argument. if we can afford a 2b luxury jet for vips or 100m pork barrel per congressman, we can afford more science
@EkaJade now i want a mango
@visakanv have you shared your wallpaper list anywhere?
It’s like our government leaders have never played Civilization
Quoted docligot's tweet:Just for reference. Ranking of Countries by R&D spending. If you sort by % of GDP, PH is 5th from the bottom. Vietnam spends double what we do in terms of % and $. Don’t know what we’re proud of.

Re:Blizzard/HS/China. I fully understand that a lot of people wouldn’t want their esports to be inundated with politics, especially if it’s not even their own country. Nevertheless, the penalty was too heavy-handed, and we must remember that neutrality favors the oppressor Also: Liberate Hong Kong, revolution of our time!
Me: “Ma, may ruler ka?”
Ma: “Kailangan ruler? Pwede tape measure?”
Me: “Hindi, ruler”
Ma: “Sige, meron ako hanapin ko”
(Maya maya)
Ma: “Kelangan mo pa din ruler?”
Me: “Oo”
Ma: “Hindi pwede eto?” (shows tape measure)
Me: “Hindi”
Ma: “Bakit?”
Me: “Hindi yan ruler e”
they banned and revoked the prizes for a hearthstone player who spoke a slogan in favor of the hong kong protests during a livestreamed postmatch unterview
This hurts. But until Blizzard reverses their decision on @blitzchungHS I am giving up playing Classic WoW, which I helped make and helped convince Blizzard to relaunch. There will be no Mark of Kern guild after all.
Let me explain why I am #BoycottBlizzard
I remixed Cap lifting Thor’s hammer with “The Touch” song from the 1986 Transformer movie and it’s pure goodness #avengers #marvel #thetouch #captainamerica #remix @ChrisEvans @chrishemsworth #joshbrolin
I’ve had a blog post draft for a few months now on my thoughts about the congestion and traffic issues in Metro Manila and potential solutions, it just keeps getting longer and longer lol
TIL that “a11y” is short for “accessibility” (the same way i18n means internationalization), and it’s not some weird l33tization of ally

Tag yourself I’m cleric
Quoted ampepers's tweet:As promised, tag yourself meme for #roguelikecelebration!
I am definitely a Druid in this case, slipping into Wizard frequently (see ranting talk I just gave 😅)
@GabySpartz someone went 12-1 with mardu knights accdg to reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/MagicArena/comments/ddysdx/win_any_deck_12_win_mardu_knights/
I went 5-2 running Bant Golos. My wins were vs Monoblack aggro, Monoblack vampires, two Golgari decks (one conceded after I Treachery’d his 6/6 Questing Beast), and I forget what the other one was (definitely not monored or the mirror)
Losses were to mono-black aggro (I had the realm-cloaked giant for the wrath, but failed to notice I didnt have two white and played the wrong guildgate the turn before) and to the mirror (I got 2 field of the dead first, but he had kenrick and agent of treachery + teferi to take my fields =/)
I ran Bant Golos for the #mtg arena all cards in standard event but only went 5-2, losing to Monoblack and the mirror :/

Aside from Joker, I also watched Stuber today, mainly because the ads for this kept showing while I was in the US and it reminded me of Deadpool and Dopinder. Not a very deep movie, but a fun watch. I have no choice but to rate it 5 stars!
JOKER spoiler-free review:
How Japan Became a Pizza Hotspot. “I’ve eaten at Seirinkan probably 200 times since it opened. I’ve never seen anyone else besides Kakinuma touch the pizza.” https://medium.com/airbnbmag/slice-of-tokyo-how-japan-became-a-pizza-hotspot-f734d834168

Oh, that wasn’t what I meant. I was on the iPad app when I made the last comment, for some reason the first character of some lines is missing there. See https://imgur.com/gallery/XVpJ0Ge for what I mean. Is fine on the reddit web page itself though so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Having The Last of Us Remastered free on PS+ is great for first-time players, but I’m not sure I’d like to relive that story. IMO Ellie and Joel’s story is best on the first time through
Obligatory “tweetdeck is down” tweet
something weird happened to your formatting in the second half boss
I just saw a post by someone denouncing socialism, someone who I happen to know benefited from free/govt subsidized high school and college education. Idk I feel like that’s kind of ironic
@gangbadoy I think mahirap magka tell all books dito, hindi masyado uso yung ganung laglagan among our politicos
Your alcohol-centered event is not inclusive.
End of story. No exceptions. Ratio doesn’t matter.
Alcohol. Is. Not. Inclusive.
I don’t need to justify that to you. This is a blanket fact.
@gangbadoy do we have such books about the previous admins?

@wrongwaygoback what is NMM here?
Survey: What are you looking forward to?
I didnt have a deck yet for the #mtg arena standard challenge and so i ran this one and jeez 5/5 easy wins so far even beating the t2 oko. Cc: @switchfollows you might wanna try it
Quoted JoeyPascoMTG's tweet:@misterorange @BryanGo @FandomLegends @OndrejStrasky Ah yes! There it is 🙂
@DLo_MD “kahapon” is an indicator of specificity, not tense, i.e. it identifies when specifically in the past you were bored :p
(via @baileyelaine)
Taglish not being a formal language means it doesn’t really have any rules, but I’m still annoyed whenever someone uses “double past tense” such as “Na-bored ako kahapon”
I have a GeForce 970, it’s a bit old, I got it in 2015. I’ve been having an issue where sometimes in some games, my displays (I have two monitors) will die (go completely black), but the game goes on running for a while (I can hear the audio), then after a couple of minutes or so the audio also stops so I can’t really do anything except do a hard reboot. I’ve tried VNCing into the PC to see what’s going on after this time, but it’s not accessible over the network so I assume it’s dead.
The crashes happen most often while playing Magic Arena (says a lot about the game!), but I’ve also had it happen once or twice on Starcraft 2 and Borderlands 2. I don’t play very demanding games graphically. I can’t identify any specific action that causes the crashes.
Some other things I’ve tried:
After all of these, I’m still encountering these crashes so I’m seriously considering replacing the graphics card now, but I’d like the be sure that it’s a graphics card issue and not something wonky with the motherboard, as my purchasing decisions will be different if the motherboard was the problem (I might as well get a new PC then). I’m looking for any advice to help me diagnose or confirm the problem.
For reference, my current PC specs:
@Westraid this game and fire emblem are the ones tempting me to get a switch. but of course i still have so many backlogs!
