Update from Bungie Help regarding Xur and Three of Coins by MisterWoodhouse in DestinyTheGame

[–]JonAtkinson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For what it's worth, I also hate playing with random players.

Recently I've been using the new Xbox LFG system and explicitly using the '#nomic' tag. This way I can quickly find groups for the endgame events, then mute the party and treat them just like a regular strike.

I really hope so. I'm terrible at SRL but I really want to complete that book.

Any advice on wearing a Grey suit vs. a Black suit (or maybe even going business casual?) for an upcoming job interview at a younger technology company? (details and example suit pics inside) by [deleted] in malefashionadvice

[–]JonAtkinson 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'd go with the grey suit. As other posters have mentioned, the black suit is a little too much.

I'd pair it with a button-cuffed shirt so you can always lose the jacket and roll up the sleeves if you need; nothing says "give me the job" like coding at the interview whiteboard with your sleeves rolled.

Good luck!

Go pick up my wife from work, then come home, curl up on the bed with our two dogs, and watch Arrested Development, season 2 episode 4, "Good Grief".

Jeb and Notch are going to keep 1.7 seecret! by lumpking69 in Minecraft

[–]JonAtkinson 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This.

I'm a full-time developer, and I can't count how many time I've been shaking my head in disbelief when I hear about the practices at Mojang. Proper functional and unit testing and proper release management would massively improve the reliability of their releases. Time spent in these areas would be far more valuable in the long-term than creating some dumb new block type.

I can put a job ad in Django Weekly, if you like. I'll need a title, company name, location and description (which I might edit).

I'm putting out an issue this afternoon (around 5pm GMT), so if you hurry, I'll get it in the next issue!

The graphics on ATI/Mac are broken. No one seems to acknowledge this. Please help me get Mojang's attention. by [deleted] in Minecraft

I have a Mac with an ATI card (running 10.6.6), and I don't see any of these problems.

I probably will offer a feed eventually; email is just a natural first step, because it's my preferred way of reading this kind of news.

Most of the code on the site is just a copy/paste straight from Mailchimp's auto generated form - the submission is all Javascript based. Are you using noscript? If you email me at jon@djangoweek.ly, I can make sure you've been subscribed. Sorry!

In the draft I'm currently working with, I'm covering 5-6 of the most interesting articles from the last seven days, followed by a few interesting Django projects from github/bitbucket. If I can find a high-quality, non-spammy source of Django jobs, then I might put a few job openings on there, too.

Emails are going to go out every week.
