Repost from GeorgeBray:
Your mobile phone has more computing power than all of NASA in 1969. NASA launched a man to the moon. We launch a bird into pigs.

Not really a programming question per se, so pls advice if I should move it to some other stackexchange…
Is there a recommended Version Control solution running on a local (Windows XP/Vista/7) machine for the use of a single person only? I may not have internet access on the box so online repos like Github or Mercurial are out of the question.
Thanks!

TIL about the best invasion attempt in history: https://www.reddit.com/r/todayilearned/comments/fzska/til_about_the_best_invasion_attempt_in_history/
Quoted Sark on Wikipedia:In August 1990, an unemployed French nuclear physicist named André Gardes, armed with a semi-automatic weapon, attempted an invasion of Sark. The night Gardes arrived, he put up two posters declaring his intention to take over the island the following day at noon. The following day he started a solo foot patrol in front of the manor in battle-dress, weapon in hand. While Gardes was sitting on a bench waiting for noon to arrive, the island’s volunteer connétable approached the Frenchman and complimented him on the quality of his weapon. Gardes then proceeded to change the gun’s magazine, at which point he was tackled to the ground, arrested, and given a seven-day sentence which he served in Guernsey. Gardes attempted a comeback the following year, but was intercepted in Guernsey.

I remember back during Civ1, the civilopedia descriptions were in plain text files somewhere in the program directory. I used a bunch of these in a school report I believe.

I approve of all of the above (MTGO Bots, Github and Python). I will take a look at this if I manage to scrounge up some free time.

Took a short nap and had a dream that involved time travel and parallel dimensions and at one point I was being pretty good with a sniper rifle.

What was the start of all this? When did the cogs of fate begin to turn? Perhaps it is impossible to grasp that answer now, From deep within the flow of time But, for a certainty, back then, We loved so many, yet hated so much, We hurt others and were hurt ourselves… Yet even then, we ran like the wind, Whilst out laughter echoed, Under cerulean skies…

Repost from gingpm:
DARNA LIVES, a fan fiction made by Gerry Alanguilan and Arnold Arre. This is very nice! Have you ever wondered what happened to our superheroes after vanquishing the ultimate antagonists of their stories? Darna Lives give us an idea to the question “what happened next?” to one of our own comic superheroes.
Sam gave this link to me and I find the story and art really wonderful. Check the comic chronicle here. Disclaimer: Image from Darna Lives blog page. Take time to read this, especially if you’re a Filipino and you know the story of Darna. Support our local artists!

What if they didn’t bundle DLC separately and just straight-up sold the game for a higher price (and with a slightly later release date), would you prefer it? Or if the game was released with the same price but no additional DLC at all? Or the game is released with no DLC but six months later a new full version of the game is released with slightly more content that could have been released as DLC but instead you now have to buy a full game again?
Personally, I find that DLC is a good idea as it allows customers to pick and choose which content they want. I’m not going to bitch about it, I don’t have to buy the DLC if I don’t want to. In fact for longer games like RPGs I just wait for the GOTY to come out later.
Also, the phrase “cutting content out of the game” shows misunderstanding of how software development in general works. Like all other software development gigs, game development is largely constrained by schedules and real-world budget and resource constraints. And most of the time they’re going to fall short of those schedules and have to decide what features to cut so they can make it on time. Having the option of releasing them as DLC creates less pressure on the team and creates an opportunity for content that would otherwise have been cut or saved for a larger expansion disc to be made available. And please don’t take at face value the rantings that because 90% of a DLC’s content is already on the disc that it should have been included at release - you haven’t considered the other 90% yet.

Repost from eclair:
A programmer should be able to find a bug, market an application, refactor a spike, lead a team, architect an application, hack a kernel, schedule a project, build a database, route a network, give a reference, implement UserStories, analyze UserStories, work in a team, work alone, use patterns, innovate, write documentation, have a RealLife, create a cool website, email efficiently, resign gracefully, AdmitIgnorance, and keep on learning. Specialization is for recruiters.
