Digital Estate Planning References
thejavaman:
Considering I’ve played way too many video games and love Community, I decided to break down the list of Hilda’s topics from the brilliant Digital Estate Planning by game. This is truly a testament to the absurd amount of detail the show puts into even the smallest jokes.
Yup, this is amazing - that list displayed for like two, maaaybe three seconds at most? And each line is a...

WatchSome pretty awesome Avatar art from knknknk (dA). Saw an awesome drawing of Smellerbee on bryankonietzko’s tumblr and went to check out the artist’s dA page. I wish there were more AtLA to watch :)

emacs ido-mode: dropping out for a new buffer or...
I recently got turned on to ido-mode within Emacs. For switching buffers (C-x b) or files (C-x C-f), turning ido-mode on by adding the following to your .emacs:
(setq ido-enable-flex-matching t) ; fuzzy matching is a must have
(ido-mode t) ; enable ido for buffer/file switching
(ido-everywhere t) ;enable ido everywhere
means you get a ‘smart’ candidate suggestion method. It lists possible...

Nurturing a Positive Atmosphere on an Ultimate...
Ben Slade posted the following really helpful coaching advice on RSD for a new captain dealing with a negative attitude on his Ultimate team. I really like having these rules spelled out explicitly, as I try to be as encouraging as possible when interacting with newer players, but sometimes I know I’m not supportive enough. Emphasis mine.
Players have more fun when practices are structured...

pushd and popd?! holy crap this is awesome →
Putzing around the interwebs one night, I stumbled upon a series of cool books called Learn $x The Hard Way where $x is a programming language. They also had a crash course in CLI where I found the following life shattering gem:
HOLY MOLY PUSHD AND POPD
$ PUSHD (optional ARG)

“I read this on another post and I thought it would also be relevant here:...”
– ErectPotato, reddit.
Yikes. I hadn’t really thought much about Amon’s endgame, but he does seem to be quite methodical and this makes sense as a goal for him - what a terrifying end game for Korra :(

Local Optima: Girl versus Woman in IT →
If you are a woman for whom the problem of bringing more female peers into technology is an active issue, then just as any person facing any problem must do, you need to figure out what you want, how to get it, and how you will measure success. You need to treat your assault on this problem as a “lean startup” and do experiments to find out what works and what doesn’t,...

Zelda: Hey I just met you
Zelda: And this is crazy
Zelda: But I need you to save all of Hyrule
Zelda: And I'm not even gonna bang you.
Link: That's completely fine, because I'm actually a decent human being who doesn't expect sex from a woman in exchange for my kindness.
Link: Did I ever mention that our fandom is sexist as fuck and that these "friendzoning" jokes aren't funny in the slightest?
Link: Because it 's true

Legend of Korra ep3 reddit discussion →
If you haven’t seen episode three, looks like Nick is being REAL awesome and putting them all up online for streaming. Spoilers ahead, I guess.
For me, the most interesting part of the episode three was the energy bending. The title link above leads to a small reddit comment section speculating about the energy bending. Was it really energy bending? Does that mean Amon was telling the truth...

FAQ: The "Snake Fight" Portion of Your Thesis... →
Q: Do I have to kill the snake?
A: University guidelines state that you have to “defeat” the snake. There are many ways to accomplish this. Lots of students choose to wrestle the snake. Some construct decoys and elaborate traps to confuse and then ensnare the snake. One student brought a flute and played a song to lull the snake to sleep. Then he threw the snake out a window.

Kvothe vs Aslan
“We are to fight,” Aslan said. “It strikes me as odd that you should come here and give me the advantage of the home ground. It seems your best hope would be hold your ground, force me to come to you, so you might catch me with some trick or trap.”
Kvothe smiled. “That reminds me of a joke,” he said. “How do you catch a unique lion?”
The lion cocked his head.
“You neek up on it,” Kvothe said...
