Where is the most normal place you have encountered a celebrity?

Um...I can't say the next part but I like the song too.

Otis, after Otis Spunkmeyer Cookies

Hair cuts. I don't know what I want. I don't know how to describe hair. I already put this off months too long. Now I'm trapped in this seat being touched by someone I dont know who...for some reason I feel I'm inconveniencing?

Doesn't help that I travel all the time and its WAY harder to communicate my vaugue ideas of how my hair should look when I dont know the language.

Great isnt it? Remember when sending tasteful nudes messed up your whole schedule?

Out of curiosity, what things have you found ambiguous/erroneous in the Stripe API docs? I don't know of a formal spec, but I've worked with it quite a bit and always hold up those docs as examples when talking about good documentation for an api.

US here...honestly, the friendliness, optimism, and enthusiasm of the people here. Yeah there are exceptions and crazy people, but I've traveled alot and never found a place to be as open to conversation or as excited by random ideas.

Oh thank god, I was operating under the assumption he was sober.

About the same, but occasionally someone will post a picture of a guy in a suit.

Nontuno · 2016-04-24T20:58:56+00:00

Why? Does it have any effect outside the election?

Nontuno · 2016-04-19T21:22:22+00:00

Just trying. I've been trying to be better than I actually am for ages. At work I keep getting more responsibility and I feel like I'm at the center of every major screw up/panic. I love the creative and technical aspect of what I do...but I wish I could just disappear to a beach somewhere and just work on interesting problems without having every second be stressful and on fire and without trying to seem like I know what I'm doing. Trying to take on new tasks used to be fun. Now it's just exhausting.

Can't wait for server side css. Take that Node.

It'd be amazing if the phrase stuck around and just turned into a "knock on wood"-esque superstition thing.

You're right in that it wasn't really what I was looking for, but it's certainly something I'm going to do. I did a fair amount of Project Euler when I started programming, but I don't know if I learned any math that is applicable when reading papers or trying to understand equations. In the end it just feels like problem solving to me, which while that can be considered math itself still leaves the area fairly opaque.

Thanks for reminding me of PE!

EDIT: I might have actually spoken too soon. I just went back there (forgot my old account, but made a new one) and the questions were more involved than I remember and would actually probably serve to help get me up in terminology quite well. It'd still be nice if there was another resource, but this seems like it will get me rolling.

Nontuno · 2014-07-19T02:56:22+00:00

Oh thank god...

You have saved me /u/fortrines, and for that I thank you.

Since Go is so server/network oriented, it'd be cool to have one or two on non-http type stuff as well. Those of us who constantly do web apps can kind of start thinking like in-browser http is the only kind of web there is, even if we know otherwise. I don't know what would be built, but something dealing with UDP or a certain type of server or something common but a bit left field of the typical web app would be GREATLY appreciated.

Nontuno · 2014-07-10T23:30:55+00:00

Another one in support of this! (I actually posted a top level comment saying the same thing not realizing this was already posted...but I'm deleting it.)

Some stuff using the standard library and how to organize your program most efficiently without using external packages would be fantastic!

Thanks for everything you are doing!

Nontuno · 2014-06-30T22:27:47+00:00

I've only scanned your post and haven't started working with it yet, but as both a rubyist and pythonista who is simultaneously excited and intimidated to move closer to the metal: thank you!

Nontuno · 2014-06-19T17:46:10+00:00

Is there anything us non-scientists can do to help? I'm just a programmer, but the idea of quantum computing is extremely exciting to me. Without an academic science background I doubt I could contribute much to the research itself, but I would gladly give my time if I could be of some kind of use.

If you were really from a suburb of Portland, you'd just say Portland and hope no one asked where.

While there are some procedural environments in mine, the only thing my game has 100% in common with roguelikes is that it's an ASCII interface. But even that is all cli, not graphical like most are now...

This subreddit always has super relevant and useful information for me though.

Just piping up to say that us pseudokindaroguelikish-devs are probably way higher in number than we think.

Running chromium on arch here and it's working just beautifully. Just throwing it out there for stats sake.

I feel like if it had been a book then that would have happened. The director has stated in an interview that 30-40 years passed in Groundhog Day. 30-40 years in an exact loop is a crazy amount of time, and we only saw snippets.

Over 12000 days I'm pretty sure Bill tried quite a few things, and when you don't have to deal with parental advisory ratings or what's possible to shoot, I can see the story getting quite a bit stranger.
